The producers agreed and filmed ten short segments which, when combined, form a minute "prelude" to the third season.
However, a legal dispute over pay for the webisodes which also affected studio-mate series The Office caused delays in production. As a result, The Resistance was issued only in standard definition even on the Blu-Ray release and with a minimum of post-production. However, they do set up the state of play at the start of the third season. They are included in the Complete Series Blu-Ray set in all territories, however under the special features for Disc 2 of Season 3.
Produced as a straight-to-DVD special between the third and fourth seasons, Razor was a minute TV movie set towards the end of the second season and expanded on the backstory of the battlestar Pegasus. A series of webisodes set during the First Cylon War preceded Razor, but these have been integrated into the episode itself on the home media releases. The fourth season of Battlestar Galactica was announced as being the last.
However, SyFy delayed transmission of the season by several months due to problems caused by the Writer's Guild of America Strike. They then split the final season in half, airing the two halves a year apart. Although this gave more time for post-production, it caused great irritation in the fanbase. These webisodes were produced between the two halves of Season 4. However, due to some slight confusion, they are set between Sometimes a Great Notion and A Disquiet Follows My Soul rather that directly between the two halves of the season.
This is because Season 4, Part 2 was originally supposed to end with Sometimes rather than Revelations, but it was decided that Revelations made for a more shocking cliffhanger. Fortunately, the webisodes do not contain any major spoilers for Sometimes. Season 4 was never released as one whole. The Plan was produced as an attempt to address fan concerns that the Cylons had never actually had "a plan" as described in the opening to every episode of the first three seasons , and effectively presented everything that happened in the first two seasons from the Cylon POV.
However, fan response to the TV movie was muted, especially coming after the conclusion of the series as a whole. Blood and Chrome was a proposed second prequel series, taking place sixteen years after the events of Caprica and forty-two before the events of the mini-series.
The planned series would have covered the final two years of the First Cylon War. However, the series was never made leaving the pilot as a stand-alone TV movie. With so many off-shoots, extended episodes, webisodes, one-off movies and weird bits and pieces it's very hard for a new Battlestar Galactica fan to know exactly what order to watch everything in.
That's why, with the help of the kind folks at the Home Theater Forum, I decided to piece together a recommended viewing order for the entire series. But not just that, I've put together information on which versions of episodes you should watch and where you can find them, too. This really is the ultimate guide!
At least, it should be. I hope you find it useful, and if you do think I've missed something, please leave a comment and let me know! Some scenes especially in Season 4, in my opinion add a lot to the story and character's motivations. If you're ever confused as to why a character should suddenly do something, you may find your answer on the cutting room floor.

Good job. As for "The Plan", think of it as most definitely after the series in production and narrative order, but presented in flashback format. I would not watch Razor in that location. I would watch it in air order, so after Season 3. It's not crucial to the plot to do so except for a little Kara Thrace foreshadowing , but that's how its intended. And it doesn't exactly strain the imagination to watch it as a flashback. Interesting idea to move The Plan, though; I quite like that.
Just a warning, The Plan hints pretty blatantly whom the last of the original five Cylons is. At episode 15 of season 4 you will not know who this is.
Whether or not that is a spoiler will be at your own discretion but taking this viewing order in advice I probably would not recommend The Plan until much later in season 4 or entirely after it.

It appears that the accepted answer on this page was largely taken from my Battlestar Galactica Viewing Order , which I created nearly four years ago : My episode order was the first to take into account all the BSG extras, like the web series, deleted scenes, extended episodes, etc.
Optional: Razor Flashbacks Note: This was billed as a "seven episode web series", but really they are just deleted scenes from the shorter broadcast version of Razor.

I like the skeleton of your recommendations, but the details are uneccessary and overly complex. You don't need to leave out the ending of Razor. It fits in fine during Season 2. There are no spoilers. Everything revealed is mystical seeming mumbo-jumbo fortune telling that is encoded in symbolic language. A brand new viewer has no idea what, if any of Razor's ending is significant for the future.
I've shown many new BSG viewers the entirety of Razor after S2E17 with no detrimental read: spoiler effects on their viewing experience. Seriously, try it the next time you screen the show with a new viewer. If you wish to follow the release order or consider other viewing options see the articles below.
