Script Version Details
edit sourceThe pre-production script for Blood and Chrome provides additional details about Zachary Elias and his role in the mission. In the script, his call sign is "Spoon," and he is described as one of the pilots briefed by Commander Ozar for the dangerous mission to Djerba.[1] Like other members of the ghost fleet, Elias was originally assigned to the battlestar Valkyrie before being transferred to special operations with Osiris.
During the atmospheric engagement, the script shows Elias attempting tactical communication with his wingman Jim Kirby, suggesting that the Cylon Raiders "can't handle in atmosphere" and recommending they take the fight lower to gain an advantage.[2] However, the Raiders prove more adaptable than expected, transforming with ailerons and flaps to continue pursuit in atmospheric conditions. Elias is shot down and killed during this engagement, with his death serving as a catalyst for Jim Kirby's subsequent decision to abandon the mission.[3]
Notes
