	In what aired the rape had not totally begun. It was suggestive. I thought it was a good scene and on point with the story and not added to draw in viewers. That suggestion is absurd. I know Ron Moore very well and he is not the kind of person or writer to add scenes purely for sensationalistic or ratings purposes. They have to be on point, truthfully reflect the situation and today's world and be relevant to the story or they are not there.		In what aired the rape had not totally begun. It was suggestive.

			'''[[Fulvio Cecere]]:''' Yes, I know! I actually was in... I think I was in Los Angeles and I had to fly back to Vancouver to do some... We did some reshoots on that and as a matter of fact my elbow still hurts because I kept doing it over and over again. I kept falling the wrong way. But yes, they did spend a lot of time on that.

			'''Damen:''' Were you surprised how the scene turned out in the episode? That they had cut the whole rape scene, but they show your death very explicitly?

			'''Cecere:''' Not so much about the death, I didn't care about that, but I was kind of shocked from what we... the way we shot it to the way it turned out. I felt maybe... Oh, was there pressure from the studios? You know, who made the decision to tone this down, because it was very, very violent. And if we're going to shoot it that way and you made a conscious decision to do this, then how come at the end you decided against it? So, I was a little... not disappointed, but I wondered about that.
