It's not a poll...

It's not a dumb discussion about how good/bad Ace is...

It's....(something completely different)...

After watching the official version of Shada, I was quite angry that a lot of
stuff was omitted that was in the unofficial (or bootleg) version. So, I
rewatched both to find out how much. To my surprise, there is very little that
wasn't used, mostly small clips. I compared the two versions along with the
script and compiled the results below. The script is available in the US but
it might not be easily found (certainly not from CBS/Fox). A friend asked me
if it was worth the $10 since he had the unofficial version. Well, I still
won't answer that, but I will say that the text in the unofficial version has
much of what is in the script (but not all). I'm glad I bought the script.
The unofficial version is no longer worth keeping.

I only entered scene titles as an aid for the comments. You're dreaming if
you think I might enter the script. Someone said he would enter the script
a long while back. I never found out if he did, but that may be your only
chance. Shell out $10 if you really want it. I considered entering only the
omitted scenes, but there is too much of that too.

Comments are very much welcome. Corrections too. I don't know if anyone will
go to that trouble since it took me quite a long time to compile this. I'm
pretty much sick of Shada for a few months. 8-) If you followup, please don't
quote a gob of text just to ask a simple question (that seems to be the norm
for many people).

Differences between the official/unofficial versions of Shada and the script.

Page numbers refer to script. Differences between the script and the official
version are shown in []. Additional material in the unofficial version (not in
the official version) is shown in {} (not including the computer text). Also
included are the times for each of the episodes. The Introduction and linking
narration by Tom Baker are not in the script of course. There are minor
differences throughout the story in which different words or lines are used.
Major differences are pointed out. dbTB="described by Tom Baker". Two things
that are different throughout (and I won't mention below) are Shada and the
Krarg ship are different models.
