Überblick
Analysis
- The reason for Roslin's visit to Galactica is now revealed in the first scene.
- Starbuck's initial rescue plan consist of leaving the civilian Fleet and a small escort in a safe location and jumping back to Caprica with Galactica herself. Because of the risk to the Fleet and the navigational problems it is rejected as too risky.
- With Galactica receiving spare parts and computer updates from Pegasus there is a bit more cooperation between the crews before the small conflicts erupt into a big one.
- It is unknown why Laird is replacing Tyrol as Galactica's deck chief. Possibly because Cain learned of his affair with Sharon and the suspicion that he might be a Cylon collaborator (Litmus) from Galactica's logs. However it explains what Laird is doing on Galactica later during the small party on the hangar deck and why he seems to be in charge of operations when Tyrol asks about the Blackbird. In "Resurrection Ship, Part I" he is definitely in charge of the whole hangar deck, but in that episode he is never formally established in the position. One would assume that he replaces Tyrol after his arrest, but according to the Extended Version it happens before.
- Starbuck's insubordinate behavior towards Stinger doesn't go uncommented now.
- Roslin's line to Baltar in "Epiphanies" about getting too close to his Cylon subjects echoes Admiral Cain's complaints in the added scenes.
- The reintroduction of the full rape sequence creates a possible continuity error with Helo's line, "He was trying to rape a prisoner" in "Resurrection Ship, Part II".
Notes
Noteworthy Dialogue
- Admiral Cain: Yes, Pegasus has always been a rather lucky ship.
- Commander Adama: To lucky ships.
- Lt. Gaeta (refering to the Pegasus' library): Got any porn in there?
- Commander Adama: Makes you feel Galactica's a relic.
- Admiral Cain: Galactica is not a relic, it's a classic. And I for one happen to appreciate the classics.
Official Statements
- Ron D. Moore stated in his podcast that there were a number of scenes filmed for the televised episode that had to be deleted for time, but that he expects to be edited back into the episode for the DVD release. According to Moore, although most episode rough cuts run a little overtime and one or two scenes have to be edited out, "Pegasus" had more than a full extra Act worth of material left over. The full episode would have been an hour and 15 minutes long. Moore tried to put in more scenes to push it to 90 minutes, in which case Scifi Channel would air it as a 90 minute special (as they had done in the past for "Stargate SG-1" on occasion), but ultimately not enough material could be included in "Pegasus" to make it 90 minutes long without detracting from story quality; they were left with an episode that was too short to be a 90 minute special, but also too long to include all filmed scenes in a one hour episode.
- According to RDM's podcast, there was entire subplot alluded to in the episode which was in the original script, but which was excised before it was ever filmed due to time constraints. The fragment that remains is when Roslin complains to Adama that Pegasus is focusing on re-supplying the Fleet's military assets (re-arming Galactica and re-supplying Pegasus from stores in the civililan fleet) while ignoring the needs of the civilian fleet. The subplot would show how Roslin wanted Pegasus to provide machine parts for repairs to the civilian Fleet, and that after these are repeatedly ignored the civilian fleet ultimately goes "on strike" by refusing to give Pegasus more tylium fuel. It would also expand on Cain's refusal to acknowledge Roslin as the President (and therefore her superior as Commander-in-Chief).
- Moore also stated in the podcast that an alternate version of the attempted rape scene with Boomer was also filmed in which the rape was actually underway when Tyrol and Helo intervened. Ultimately, the decision was made to use the version seen where Thorne is stopped just in time, before he is able to rape Boomer. This is an alternate scene and wasn't just deleted for time: it wasn't in the script, but after discussing it director Michael Rymer, Grace Park and the rest of the cast decided to create it. The production team and writers liked the originally scripted, averted-at-the-last-minute-rape scene better anyway, so the alternate version was not used in the aired episode.
- Prior to the release of Season 2.0 on DVD, it was confirmed that the "Season 2.0" DVD box set of Battlestar Galactica (which contains the first ten episodes of Season 2) does not contain the Director's Cut of "Pegasus". Universal Home Video stated that they were unable to complete the extended version of the episode in time for the Season 2.0 DVD release. Due to this, fans have the opportunity to buy both versions. In his podcast, Moore stated his preference for the extended cut over the broadcast version, due to the great character moments and drama, but that some might feel that the tight, rapid pace of the cut-down episode kept it more thrilling.
