I wonder whether I should try to do a "series" of posts like this? One way and another, I have accumulated some bits and bobs of cut lines and such, some of them from scripts, others from the differences between the various broadcast versions (original Canadian, original US on CBS, German).

You know this because of the Janette impact, if nothing else, of course, but: the original US on CBS episodes were the shortest of all -- so very short that they actually had "patch" scenes that are not in the longer Canadian and German versions, made to cover the plot holes where they removed whole scenes from the longer versions.

The North American DVDs today are mostly equivalent to what showed on Sci-Fi: neither as long as the original Canadian, nor as short as the original US.
