== Script Version Differences ==
 
In the pre-production script for ''[[Blood and Chrome]]'', Katie's relationship with Coker is portrayed with significantly more detail and emotional depth. The script reveals that Katie lives on [[Aerilon]] and had been writing letters to her husband, but Coker had stopped responding to her correspondence during his second tour of duty.<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=96}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pgs. 96-97</ref>
 
The script version shows Coker's internal struggle with his relationship, explaining that he deliberately stopped communicating with Katie as a psychological defense mechanism. He admits to [[William Adama]] that soldiers sometimes "stop thinking about" what they have waiting for them back home because "it's easier not to sweat the future if you think you don't have one."<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=97}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 97</ref>
 
In a particularly poignant moment, when Coker initially tries to give [[William Adama]] Katie's photograph on [[Djerba]], Adama refuses and tells him to keep it so he can "try explaining to your wife yourself why you're such an asshole" and see if she'll take him back.<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=97}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 97</ref> Coker responds with bitter humor, saying "That'll be the day," before apparently dying from his wounds.
 
The script provides context for Coker's emotional distance from his wife, showing it as part of the psychological toll of extended combat duty rather than simple neglect. This backstory was ultimately cut from the final production, leaving only the brief mention and photograph exchange seen in the aired version.
