It’s really worth checking out the bonus scenes on the DVD for this episode. You see an original cut of the scene with Starbuck and Cassiopea where she refers to herself as a socialator instead of a med-tech. The aired version doesn’t really work, but with the line as it was written the subtext is unmistakable.
Also, there were apparently two completely different scenes shot of Starbuck’s arrival after Robert’s shuttle is forced to land. I’m really curious to know why the first version wasn’t used. It was shot on location, and as such a LOT more expensive than the studio version that was used. What could have caused them to throw out the footage and the cost it incurred for the production? Anyone know the lore on this?
