			=== From Script to Screen ===

			Comparing the "Hero" script to the final aired episode reveals differences in how the Armistice Line violation is presented:

			* The screenplay includes an extensive briefing scene between Admiral [[Peter Corman\|Corman]] and [[William Adama\|Adama]] that establishes the political context for crossing the Line, emphasizing the mission's objective "to ascertain the likelihood of a Cylon strike."<ref group="production" name="eick_hero_script_armistice_mission_context">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 14, script page 8}}</ref> The aired episode conveys this information through dialogue and flashbacks instead.

			* [[David Eick]]'s draft contains more detailed technical dialogue about the [[Stealthstar]]'s position relative to the Line, including specific coordinates and tactical assessments that were streamlined in the final version.<ref group="production" name="eick_hero_script_armistice_coordinates">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 35, script page 28}}</ref>
