Saga of a Star World script question

[peter noble]

Was surfing the net the other day trying to track down the shooting script for Saga but came across a version which isn't the one where Lyra/Serina has space cancer, there is no Cassiopeia character and Baltar doesn't get his head cut off.

Is this the first version of the script?

Apollo is called Skyler, there are droids in the fleet and unicorns on the livery ship. Starbuck is younger than Apollo and Boxey isn't Lyra's son.

That sounds like an early version or even the original version. I'd like to find a copy of the six hour version.

Was it posted text, or a script for sale?

I have the paper (not electronic) version of the script you mention. It's an early version.

It looks like someone pulled the plug on the text file.

HOWEVER, check here: http://web.archive.org/web/20011007184825/http://geocities.com/scifiscripts/scripts/battlestargalactaca.txt

Bravo, Peter, for sharing this.

Well, I may not have the book, but this makes for some interesting reading...

It looks like alot of the dialogue from that script was used in the original novel. Too bad Ron Moore can't use this for part of the remake.
