| == Script Version Differences ==
| |
| | |
| The pre-production script for ''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' presents Commander Ozar as a significantly different character than the final production. In the script version, Ozar is portrayed as a male officer described as a "hard-looking ex-pilot and commando in his 40s."<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=49}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 48</ref> This represents a major character change made during production, as the final version features a female commander.

| The script provides much more detailed characterization and dialogue for Ozar throughout the mission. During the briefing sequence, he personally addresses the pilots about the dangerous nature of their mission to [[Djerba]], explaining that "a spec ops Marine Recon team has already been inserted" and emphasizing that "the entire course of this war could hinge on" Dr. Kelly reaching her objective.<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=53}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 52</ref> He also mentions having "liberated" two cases of ambrosia from ''[[Valkyrie]]'''s mess as a morale booster for the pilots.

| When the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]] appears at [[Djerba]], the script shows Ozar making the difficult tactical decision to proceed with the mission despite the overwhelming odds. He acknowledges that "even in stealth mode, they're gonna pick us up on [[DRADIS]] soon" once they launch aircraft, but determines they have "no choice" because "Marines are waiting" and "timing's everything with this op."<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=58}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 57</ref>

| During the final battle sequence, the script provides Ozar's last words and actions in greater detail. When the nuclear missile bay doors jam, his Executive Officer warns that "at this range, we may not be able to clear the blast," but Ozar replies "No choice. Do it!" He then requests manual override control of the warheads and, looking at his crew one final time, says "It was an honor, gentlemen" before manually triggering the nuclear detonation that destroys both ships.<ref>''[[Blood and Chrome]]'' [{{fullurl:File:B&C Pre-Production Draft - 11-30-10 - Version 01.FDX.pdf|page=62}} pre-production script dated 30 November 2010], pg. 61</ref>
