Ah, I'm guessing this is the reaction to the "One Year Later," thing, which indeed left a lot of people going, "OMMFG! WTF?"
Of course, this resulted in a lot of arguments (especially post-Season 3) whether this was a good idea or not, but whatever the effect in the long term it certainly gave us a brilliant opening few episodes of Season 3.
The S1 was kinda like ASOS (brick, brick, brick, see you next season to deal for the after effect), but this one was like ASOS if GRRM had kept the 5 years gap and put a long epilogue dealing with what are they now instead of the Uncat epilogue at the end of ASOS (ie, truckload of bricks)
It's way too early for me to see if it was a good idea or not, but it definitly shift the status quo. And throw me somewhat out of the loop as to what to expect/hope for for the resolution of the series.
I don't think there's any spoilers in Razor for anything in Season 3, so there should be no problem watching it between 2 and 3. Chronologically it takes place between Captain's Hand and Downloaded but flashes back to what happened on Pegasus during the attack and also to some events in the First Cylon War forty years earlier. If you're watching the DVD version don't listen to the commentary though, as that definitely, massively spoils the end of Season 3!

I'm looking forward to seeing what your reaction to the next few eps is :)

There were also some webisodes put up for Razor as well but they've all disappeared from the web as they were put on the Razor DVD.
