Deleted scenes
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
- This entry talks about deleted scenes in general. If you are looking for comprehensive lists of deleted scenes in Battlestar Galactica, see List of Deleted Scenes (disambiguation).
Deleted scenes are scenes that were already filmed, but removed after post-processing of an episode.
Primarily, scenes are removed as:
- the scene may be unnecessary, as it does not
- add anything to the story,
- add anything to character development;
- the scene makes an episode too long;
- an alternate version was filmed, thus rendering the scene unusable.
There are other reasons, such as contractural disputes, studio orders, or the like that can cause a scene to be deleted from the final-cut.
