Martin Madden, from a deleted scene in Nemesis

Martin Madden, from a deleted scene in Nemesis

A deleted scene is a filmed segment of a movie or television episode which was removed from the final product for any of a number of various creative reasons. Among the most common reasons for a scene to be deleted are time constraints (a scene could make the film or episode overrun) and narrative pace (a scene could slow down action of the story). In both instances, whole scenes as initially scripted could be taken out, or scenes could be shortened without being entirely removed, in which case the sometimes-used expression "trimmed scene" is the more applicable one.

A deleted scene could also be replaced with another scene, in which case the scene deleted becomes an "alternate scene." A scene may also be merely trimmed down, again either for time or pace. In this latter scenario, the full version of the scene is known as an "extended scene."

In its history of 992 productions, Star Trek has had many scenes removed or entirely replaced. Examples include what would have been the opening sequence for Star Trek Generations – in which Captain James T. Kirk is orbital skydiving – and a scene in Star Trek Nemesis in which Martin Madden replaces William T. Riker as the first officer of the USS Enterprise-E.

When included on/in a home video release, deleted scenes are considered part of the special features of that release. This has become less common in correlation with the decline of physical media; deleted scenes are occasionally shared digitally, however, including on video hosting sites.

Examples of deleted scenes

Star Trek: The Original Series

Overview

In the era in which the Original Series was being produced, the commercial added value of legally claiming footage beyond that being featured in the finalized production as shown/aired, such as deleted scenes, outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage, was not recognized by Hollywood in general, but by television in particular, simply because a home video format after-market did not yet exist at that time. As a result, unused footage left on the cutting floor of the editing rooms, was habitually only stored for a very short period of time before being simply discarded altogether. The Original Series was no exception therein were it not for Gene Roddenberry, who did recognize the commercial value of discarded footage, after he had noticed that first generation "Trekkies" scrambled over free give-away film clippings at an early small local convention. [1]

Acting upon the observation, Roddenberry had the editing rooms and vaults of Desilu Studios cleaned out of all such footage during the hiatus between the series' second and third seasons, and had it spliced up for sale through his merchandising company Lincoln Enterprises as either short clippings, or as framed stills, cut from the footage, these selling for US$1 dollar per set of eight. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, 1997, pp. 400-401; [2]) Generally believed lost for posterity (because of the cutting up of the footage), the only behind-the-scenes TOS footage that was released to the general public for the next five decades concerned three famed (from outtakes cobbled together) "blooper reels" and behind-the-scenes footage that had privately been shot by William Blackburn, the latter later (i.e., between 2007 and 2009) included as special features on remastered series home video format releases. Unlike Blackburn's footage, the "blooper reels" were part of Roddenberry's "booty", and these he actually commercialized whole, selling them as Super 8 reels. (Star Trek Movie Memories, 1995, pp. 40-41)

Nonetheless, in late 2005, cinematographer Curt McAloney started his hunt for the short clippings for restoration/remastering in order "to create a repository of restored images showing the production aspects of the original Star Trek series. This would include out takes, deleted scenes, close-ups of props, effects scenes and publicity photos [...] These behind the scenes aspects of the series should be preserved for posterity before they disappear," as he had put it on an older version of his StarTrekHistory.com website. His project and the footage he gained access to enabled McAloney and his co-workers to compile a library of deleted scenes, which was presented on the website and afterwards in their book Star Trek: Lost Scenes, published in 2018. Incidentally, Gerald Gurian had embarked on a similar but otherwise entirely unrelated project, which resulted in him publishing To Boldly Go: Rare Photos from the TOS Soundstage, a three-volume book series, between 2016 and 2017.

In 2007, however, it was discovered that a large part of the Lincoln footage collection was still in existence, after which the plan ripened to have it somehow made available to the general public on a home video format release, slated to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. [3] This eventually led to a three-disc Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault Blu-ray release in 2016; many deleted scenes, including several of the below-listed, were either incorporated into the special features of the release or, in the case of the third season, separately included as a special feature onto their own. The fact that the footage could be seen by the public for the first time after fifty years was, in itself, indicative that Lincoln Enterprises had, to some extent, sold clippings/stills from copies of this footage back in the day, instead of having the actual original footage cut up, but that actually made good business sense at the time – aside from being fortuitous for later generations.

Episodes

At the beginning of the scene involving Vina acting as an Orion slave girl, the Talosians are seen speaking through a trader and an unnamed Starfleet officer, trying to induce Captain Pike to accept their "gift" of an illusory life as breeding stock. Moments later, Vina threatens another servant who pays too much attention to Pike.
In the scene following, set in the transporter room, Number One reiterates the danger of the rescue mission and its voluntary nature. There was dialogue filmed but cut from the final print where Number One addresses Yeoman Colt. In it, she points out that Colt is new to the USS Enterprise, hinting that the yeoman need not join the landing party. Colt responds by saying that she has been trained as any other member of the crew and that she is Captain Pike's yeoman. (The Making of Star Trek, [4])
An alternative, pre-broadcast edit of this episode exists, which, among other differences, includes a few scenes and extended scenes that were cut for the final broadcast version, including an alternative version of the opening credits that has different narration and music. [5](X)
A scene filmed but cut showed Janice Rand entering Kirk's quarters and giving him a new shirt from the cupboard. Kirk takes it, orders Janice to leave, and calls the bridge to ask Spock about the status of Balok's cube. [6](X)
Another deleted scene featured Sulu, at the helm station on the bridge, telling Kirk (with Harrison and Hadley in the background) about how he, in his childhood, had tried to emulate the facial expressions of Oriental villains in movies about the time of "the Sino-Western trouble." This scene is viewable as part of "Inside the Roddenberry Vault, Part I", a featurette in Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault. In that documentary, Michael Okuda referred to the films that are discussed in the scene as "old Fu Manchu movies," even though Fu Manchu himself isn't specifically referenced in the scene. Okuda further commented, "Today, it might seem a little clumsy, maybe a lot clumsy, but it was a real sincere effort to show a better future [...] In retrospect, yeah, it probably was a good idea that they cut that. But it's kind of endearing; you see that Gene [Roddenberry] was trying to show a world without racial stereotypes, and isn't that the world we wanna live in?"
Yet another deleted scene from "The Corbomite Maneuver" was a conversation between Kirk, McCoy and Dave Bailey in a turbolift, as they were on their way to board Balok's pilot vessel. [7](X)
A lengthy scene between Harry Mudd and Uhura, in which Mudd tries to persuade her to take the Venus drug was filmed, but cut due to time. Roger C. Carmel was greatly disappointed that the scene was deleted. (Starlog #127, p. 33; These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One)
A filmed, but deleted shot showed Kirk saluting the Romulan commander before he destroyed his ship. A scene showing the commander and Decius arguing about the Praetor's orders, soon before the centurion died, was also filmed, but cut from the finished episode. [8]
A scene between Anton Karidian and his daughter in their quarters was filmed, but cut due to time. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, 1st ed., p. 296)
Two shorter scenes were also filmed, but cut from the final episode (possibly due to time). In the first, crewmembers are watching the performance of Hamlet on the bridge. In the second, Lenore Karidian is shown resting in sickbay after her mental breakdown. [9]
A scene of Ben Finney meeting his daughter, Jamie, in engineering, after being beaten up by Kirk, and confessing where he damaged the ship's systems was filmed, but cut because of time. It was replaced by a captain's log voiceover, explaining what happened. [10]
A scene involving an interruption in Spock's court martial was filmed. After Security Chief Pitcairn entered the hearing room to announce the arrival of Leonard McCoy and Montgomery Scott, McCoy and Scott hurried into the room. They then reported to the occupants of the room – Kirk, Spock, a crippled Captain Pike, and a Talosian projection of Commodore Mendez – that, by using a spectrograph beam to detect traces of copper salt from Vulcan perspiration, they had managed to determine which of the ship's computer microtapes Spock had affected to lock the Enterprise on a course to Talos IV. [11] The scene was filmed on Monday 17 October 1966. (Star Trek Magazine issue 161, p. 45)
Scripted and filmed but removed from the final cut of the episode was a scene in which the Don Juan robot reached from behind a tree and grabbed Yeoman Tonia Barrows, who was wearing her princess costume and was shocked by the encounter. Protecting her, McCoy then fought off Juan, who fled the area. This incident took place immediately before the arrival of the Black Knight, footage which is shown in the episode. (Star Trek Magazine issue 163, p. 33) An excerpt from this deleted scene was included in the episode's preview. [12]
Some portions of the interrogation scene between Kirk and Colonel Fellini were cut from the finished episode. In one, Fellini asks Kirk if he is an American citizen; in another, Kirk asks the colonel if he beats his wife. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A scene featuring Barbara Baldavin as "Yeoman Baker" was filmed, but cut due to time. It featured Marla McGivers and her friend Baker in a corridor near McGivers' quarters, discussing a crewman who wishes to ask Marla out for a date. She tells Baker that she prefers a man who is able to ask out a woman himself. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, 1st ed., p. 451; Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A large portion was cut from the scene which featured Khan and his Augments on board the Botany Bay. Apparently, it was removed due to concerns by NBC Broadcast Standards over the highly revealing outfits worn by Khan's athletic female followers. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, 1st ed., pp. 451-452) This is most likely the reason why Kathy Ahart (Kati) is featured in the end credits, as she probably had a speaking part which was cut.
Another scene cut was McCoy confronting Khan while being held captive in the briefing room, then stunned by one of Khan's henchmen. Khan assures Spock that McCoy has only been stunned, as he wants to avoid bloodshed when possible. To the question of whether he does approve, Spock tells Khan he only approves of the logic with which he took over the Enterprise, which was done "brilliantly." (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A conversation scene between Anan 7 and Sar 6 in Anan's quarters was filmed, but cut from the episode. [13]
Spock and Leila in a deleted scene

Spock and Leila in a deleted scene

A scene showing Spock and Leila walking and romanticizing by a stream was scripted and filmed, but cut from the finished episode. However, it appears in the episode's preview trailer. [14]
A short scene between McCoy and Leila was deleted. After Kirk beams up, McCoy claims, "A stubborn man that Jimmy-boy is," to which Leila replies, "He will join us. No-one has ever resisted." (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A portion of Spock's dialogue was deleted, in which he explains to Kirk that the spores communicate with the people they infected telepathically, and that that's how he learned that the pod plants are from the different planet and were not on Omicron Ceti III when the first two, failed expeditions came. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A short scene filmed but eventually cut had the Organian elders discussing the situation between the Federation and the Klingons. Ayelborne worries that the conflict might evolve into a full spread war, while Claymare expresses his curiosity in observing "such creatures" and their behavior, which he considers to be a rare chance. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A scene filmed but cut for time included Peter Kirk visiting the bridge after his recovery from the alien parasites, wearing a child-sized version of a command division Starfleet uniform with lieutenant stripes, and sitting in the captain's chair. It is also revealed that, instead of moving back to Earth to live with his grandparents, Peter is going to be adopted, by a colleague of his father, and stay on Deneva. After Peter leaves, Scotty tells Kirk that his nephew shall go to Starfleet Academy. Kirk replies that he hopes he won't, not wanting him to face a similar decision like he just had to make. [15]
Another scene that was filmed for "Operation -- Annihilate!" involved Spock, on the surface of Deneva, immediately after having rendered the club-wielding Kartan unconscious with a Vulcan nerve pinch. Kirk reprimanded Spock, via communicator, for the lateness in reporting in, a delay accounted for by the attack, and a spasm of pain then caused Spock to realize that the parasite within him might be in contact with the others of its species. (Star Trek Magazine issue 163, p. 32)
A scene filmed but cut from this episode featured a team of security guards, including Swenson, ready to beam down to Pyris VII, but unable to because of Sylvia's invisible force field surrounding the Enterprise. [16]
A scene filmed but cut had Commissioner Hedford accusing Kirk of faking the hijacking of the shuttlecraft, in order to conceal a navigation error which led them to being diverted to the Gamma Canaris N planetoid. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
An ending scene on the bridge was filmed, in which McCoy reveals that Carolyn Palamas is pregnant with Apollo's child, asking Kirk, "What will the child be... man or God?" as the closing line of the episode. The scene was removed on the behest of NBC Broadcast Standards. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault, These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Two, pp. 105-106) This now-famous scene has survived in James Blish's novelization of the episode, featured in the book Star Trek 7. Also, the character Mark McHenry in Peter David's New Frontier book series is a descendant of Apollo and Carolyn's child.
A short scene, featuring Enterprise crewmembers playing games and being entertained by the Mudd androids, was filmed but cut from the episode. [17] This scene evolved from a scene in Stephen Kandel's original script (deemed unfilmable on the series budget), in which we see the entire crew of the Enterprise at once, being entertained by the androids. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Two, pp. 278-279)
A scene of Spock mind melding with Sargon's sphere was filmed but cut from the finished episode. Spock also mentions the meld in the briefing room scene, but this piece of dialogue has also been edited out. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
Kirk's "risk is our business" speech was also longer, but some parts have been cut from the finished episode. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
A humorous "tag scene" was filmed but cut from the end of the episode, in which Spock fails to understand why Nurse Chapel claimed it was an overly pleasant experience to share her consciousness with him. Ann Mulhall says Sargon and Thalassa did understand, and Kirk agrees. (Star Trek: The Original Series - The Roddenberry Vault)
Spock and Uhura talk in the recreation room

Spock and Uhura talk in the recreation room

An extended scene was shot in the newly built recreation room for "Elaan of Troyius" that was never aired. In it, Kirk, McCoy and Uhura are first amazed to see Spock tuning a Vulcan lyre, and then impressed to learn that Spock placed second in the all-Vulcan musical competition – Sarek took first prize. Hearing Spock play the lyre, both Uhura and Kirk were struck with an idea for preparing the Dohlman for the impending nuptials.
The course in etiquette was cut short when the Dohlman knifed her teacher, Ambassador Petri, and Kirk was anxious to successfully complete the mission as the Federation High Commissioner was to attend the wedding. In that regard, Kirk asked Spock to play a love song – Spock referred to it as a mating song – that would be piped into the Dohlman's quarters as Kirk resumed the lessons left off by Petri.
The results were less than salutary. The scene continues in Uhura's cabin (which she surrendered to the Dohlman), and Kirk watches in disgust as the Dohlman eats in the manner of Henry VIII. From this point forward, the scene as filmed is shown in the final print, with the exception of the Dohlman's agitated query about "that sickening sound" filtering into the room. Naturally, the music Spock was playing is not part of the soundtrack. The final revised shooting script was completed on 27 May 1968 and the scene was shot on 10 June 1968. [18]
A short scene near the top of the fourth act where Sulu threatens Kirk with a phaser. [19]
Two scenes were filmed but cut from this episode: in the first, Scotty uses McCoy's computer in sickbay to find out how to make Spock ambulatory; in the second, the mechanically moved Spock is brought to the bridge by McCoy and Scotty before the landing party beams down to Sigma Draconis VI. [20]
Also, an ending scene on the bridge (with an apparent pun to end the episode) is present in the final draft script. It is unknown if the scene was filmed and cut from the finished episode or was scrapped entirely. [21](X)
An ending scene, set on the bridge, was filmed but cut due to time. In this scene, Kirk tells Kang that he and his crew will be dropped off on a neutral planet near the Federation-Klingon border. Then, Kirk and Kang debate the issue of the Federation philosophy of peaceful exploration against the Klingons' way of conquest by war, both considering his philosophy to be the better. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Three, p. 315)
A scene featuring John Buonomo as an orderly was apparently cut.

Star Trek: The Animated Series

Star Trek: The Next Generation

While "on board" the alien lifeform, tentacles reach out of the wall and grab for Deanna Troi and Riker. The producers decided these special effects looked horrible and removed the scenes from the episode. [22](X)
A scene including guest actor Michael Rider as the transporter chief was cut from the final aired episode. Rider's name remained in the credits for the episode.
Two deleted scene stills from "Coming of Age"

Two deleted scene stills from "Coming of Age"

A scene centering around the birthday of Wesley Crusher was filmed but deleted from the final episode.
Several scenes were filmed but later cut from the episode during editing. These scenes came to light in March 2013, when a Star Trek collector uploaded the contents of an early work print VHS of the episode to the Internet. [23] See the episode page for more information.
More scenes featuring B.G. Robinson were filmed than appeared in the finished episode. As a result of this, actress Teri Hatcher asked for her name to be removed from the credits. [24](X)
A scene where Wesley Crusher convinces Data to talk to Worf on his behalf, as Geordi La Forge protests. (Included on the TNG Season 2 Blu-ray release.)
A scene, in which Annette and Eric asked Wesley Crusher to accompany them on a holodeck ski trip, involving a conversation in a corridor and dialogue for both guest actors, was removed due to time's sake. Both guest actors appeared briefly in a crowd scene at the end of the episode, but received no credit, nor did they speak. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, ? ed., p. ?) A scene which featured Annette in sickbay, after she broke her leg, was also removed from the final aired episode. This scene would have also included a larger part for guest actress Mary McCusker, who played a nurse who treated Annette and was hit by an energy burst from the malfunctioning replicator. [25]
A scene which involved Raymond D. Turner as an Enterprise-D teacher was cut from the aired version. [26]
Two scenes were cut for time, from the episode's final edit, one of which was a secondary interrogation scene showing Admiral Alidar Jarok being questioned. (The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 20, p. 33)
Brandi Sherwood and Wil Wheaton in "The High Ground"

Brandi Sherwood and Wil Wheaton in "The High Ground"

A scene was cut from the final version of the episode which included Brandi Sherwood as a command division officer who assisted Wesley Crusher in rescuing his mother. (BRAVO, 1989)
DeSeve was in his quarters, trying to use a replicator to get some coffee. However, he had spent so many years living among Romulans that he had forgotten much of his native language and had difficulty remembering how to actually pronounce the word. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, ? ed., p. ?)
A scene where Fajo sends Varria to test Data's sexual abilities (in which Data references his only sexual encounter from TNG: "The Naked Now"). However, Data learns of Fajo's intent, leaving Varria utterly humiliated, which would later fuel her desire to betray Fajo in the climax. [27]
A scene in which Dr. Crusher talks to the wife of Doctor Richard Hill, who doesn't remember her husband. [28](X)
Several scenes were filmed but later cut from the episode during editing. These scenes came to light in March 2013, when a Star Trek collector uploaded the contents of an early work print VHS of the episode to the Internet. [29] See the episode page for more information.
Scenes 12-14 were cut from the final episode and would have featured a conversation between Worf, Doctor Crusher, and Simon Tarses in sickbay. According to the call sheet from Friday 22 February 1991, it would include 1 5/8 script pages.
Scene 56 was partially cut from the episode. Following a conference regarding the soliton wave, Worf apologizes to Captain Picard regarding being distracted from his duties by his son, Alexander Rozhenko. Picard tells him that he realizes Klingon officers do not permit their children to live with them but that Worf has met many challenges that are at odds with his Klingon heritage. (Included on the TNG Season 5 Blu-ray release.)
Following Lwaxana Troi meeting Minister Campio, there is a continuation of the scene in which she tries to press further to spend time with him to get to know him. She asks him to bear with her until she gets a better grasp of his culture's rules and protocols.
After Alexander Rozhenko leaves his and Worf's quarters without eating dinner, Worf talks with Deanna Troi, he sharing his frustrations with Alexander and her with her mother, Lwaxana. Troi describes how her mother mortified her by disappearing from her sixth birthday party and then appearing dressed up as a Koropian princess carried in a sedan chair by four young men. She says that it's always been as if she's the parent and her mother the child and that there's a saying that grandparents and grandchildren get along so well because they have a common enemy.
Picard interrupts the ceremony between Kamala and Alrik, telling Alrik that he cannot let it go forward. He tells him that this should be fine, as he's really more concerned with trade agreements anyway, and he agrees. The scene then cuts to reveal that this was only a fantasy of Picard's.
A scene involving a morgue attendant, played by Van Epperson, was removed from the final episode. This scene was, according to the script, scene 3.
A scene in which Counselor Deanna Troi visits the quarters of Captain Montgomery Scott, who had been displaced in time, and trying to allay his feelings of discomfort, was removed from the episode for running time reasons. The scene, running for approximately eight minutes, was originally scripted as Act Two, Scene 20. See the episode page for more information.
The opening of scene 24 was deleted. The Iyaaran ambassador Byleth visits Lieutenant Worf in his quarters, telling him that he is late. Worf checks and finds that it is 0500 hours. Byleth states that he told him that he wanted to meet at this time to tour the arboretum and biolabs. Worf replies that he does not recall this and Byleth asks if he is calling him a liar. Worf replies that he simply does not remember the conversation. Byleth states that he will have to add this to his list of Worf's inadequacies, then tells Worf to get dressed and meet in the arboretum. Worf sighs in exasperation. (Included on the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release.)
Scene 44 was partially cut. After Data explains the theory of alternate quantum realities, he postulates an example in which, in an alternate reality, Captain Riker chose to sit at the other end of the table, and another in which he might be standing. Beverly Crusher then states that, at that very moment, there are an infinite number of Enterprises and infinite number of her having the same discussion. Data agrees, but states that on some of those Enterprises, there might not be a Doctor Crusher. (Included on the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release.)
Scene 1 was partially cut. Beverly Crusher's eulogy to her grandmother Felisa Howard was longer and made a mention of her favorite hobby being cooking and having fond memories of being in her kitchen, surrounded by the sounds of bubbling pots and wooden spoons, exotic tastes and smells. She continues that Felisa was in the middle of writing a cookbook when she died and reads off a recipe for "Nana's Gingerbread". (Included on the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release.)
Scene 9 was partially cut. Following the funeral, Crusher and Deanna Troi have a much more extensive chat. Crusher comments that she'd forgotten how much Nana was loved. Troi asks if she came home often and she replies that, after she moved to Earth and married Jack, she didn't seem to get home very much. (Included on the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release.)
Scene 19 was partially cut. After telling Crusher that the Howard house is haunted, Ned Quint warns her not to smile at him. He tells her that Felisa Howard smiled at his warning also. He states that she may fly around the galaxy in a starship and thinks she's smarter than the rest of them. She replies that she never said anything like it and he counters that she was thinking it, that he's just an old man with tales of ghosts and goblins. He tells her that he was born in the real Kilmarnock on Earth and saw things out on the moors at night that could not be explained by tricorders or fancy ships. She tells him that she grew up in the house and loves it. He replies that Felisa did too, and now she's dead. She asks if he's telling her that her grandmother didn't die of natural causes. (Included on the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release.)
Data asks for the origin of the name given to him by Gia, "Jayden". She explains that it's from a story about a boy named Jayden who looked different from everyone else, and the other children were mean to him and made fun of him. Jayden never got angry and he turned out to actually be a handsome nobleman who had been put under a demon's spell. (Included in the TNG Season 7 Blu-ray release)
A Ten Forward scene featuring Riker, La Forge, and Troi was cut out of the beginning of this episode. In this deleted scene, the three of them were speaking of the rogue comet that came in contact with the Enterprise in 2370. Riker is a little annoyed when he receives a snack and drink which he did not order. Troi takes a bit of the snacks, and she likes it. La Forge scans the drink and discovers it to be blood. Riker wants to talk to the bartender, but La Forge insists that it might not be his fault.
A scene with Troi going into her quarters and beginning her bath session in her on-duty uniform was cut out of this episode.
Martha Hackett as Captain Androna

Martha Hackett as Captain Androna

A scene including Martha Hackett as Terrellian pilot Androna, who appeared in the Devron system, was filmed but cut from the aired version. The costume worn by Hackett was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction, on eBay. [30](X)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

A scene in the script that was filmed but eventually deleted featured Sisko meeting with Kai Opaka for a second time, so as to return the Orb. He tells her that fourteen planets have contacted the Federation to open trade links through Bajoran space. He tries to tell her he believes the Prophets to be wormhole aliens, but she tells him she does not wish to hear. Opaka tells him, "That is why a disbeliever was destined to seek them – one should never look into the eyes of one's own gods." (In the first season finale "In the Hands of the Prophets", Vedek Winn, speaking to Commander Sisko, quotes this line from the deleted scene.) Opaka also tells Sisko that his journey is only just beginning. Rick Berman commented, "There's a wonderful scene where Sisko goes back down to Bajor to return the Orb to Kai Opaka that we took out. Cutting is horrible, especially when it's something so close to you as the pilot was." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
A scene featuring a conversation between Sisko, in his office aboard DS9, and an official at a university on Earth was also cut. (The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, p. xiv)
A scene involving Dukat, Odo, and Vaatrik Pallra was excised. "The greatest regret I have about that show," stated Michael Piller, "is that I allowed Rick [Berman] to take out one scene that would have really made it better. That was a scene where Odo, having just talked to Kira, was going to see Pallra and he sees Gul Dukat coming out of her room and he kisses her good-bye, indicating that they just had sex. When Dukat walks away, we go around the corner where Odo was and there is now a picture that is crooked. Gul Dukat straightens it out and walks on, and then Odo goes to see Pallra. If we had left that in, that would have suggested that Gul Dukat, a red herring, might have also been involved in the murder and was involved in covering it up somehow. That would have been an interesting additional element for people to be thinking about during the course of the show. I have never been as sorry about cutting something out as I feel about that." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 65) The kiss between Gul Dukat and Pallra was Dukat actor Marc Alaimo's favorite moment from about the first season and a half of DS9. "It's interesting to me that after all of my years as an actor that I finally got my first screen kiss as a Cardassian," he remarked. "Nobody else could give two damns about it, probably, but it was really interesting and exciting for me, especially because I was doing it as a Cardassian [....] I have tried to instill a little bit of softness into him, a little playfulness, especially in ['Necessary Evil'] because the thought of getting a kiss was thrilling to him." (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 6, p. 50)
A scene was filmed for this episode with O'Brien singing "The Minstrel Boy" while being chased on the runabout, an allusion to the TNG episode "The Wounded", where he says it is his "happy thought" song for bad situations. However, due to a continuity slip that wasn't noticed until the last minute, the scene was removed. The mistake involved the name of the pursuing runabout, which is referred to as the USS Rio Grande. However, the Rio Grande was the runabout being chased. The pursuing ship was actually the USS Mekong. This mistake wasn't noticed until writer Paul Robert Coyle was sent a copy of the shooting script, which is only sent out after an episode is completed. By the time the mistake was spotted, it was too late to sort it out, so the scene was simply removed. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)
An ultimately deleted scene was scripted to involve Jake Sisko accidentally walking in on his father, Benjamin Sisko, and Kasidy Yates, while they were in bed together. As the actors and Director LeVar Burton considered that too disrespectful, they did the scene without the involvement of Jake. However, the scene was thereafter edited out of the episode, to avoid its running time being too long. "We were all very disappointed about that because of the thought and consideration that went into putting it together," stated Kasidy Yates actress Penny Johnson. (TV Zone, Special #29, p. 32)
A couple of scenes needed to be deleted from this episode, so that the installment wouldn't be too long. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 29)
The relationships between Kira, Dukat, and Damar were further explored in a scene filmed but cut for time. After Kira calls Dukat an interstellar tyrant, Dukat retorts that he prefers the term "despot". Dukat proposes to assign Damar to escort Ziyal to the opening of her exhibit. Kira points out that "He's a self-righteous sycophant who despises everything Bajoran," and notes that Damar sneers whenever he says "Bajoran". Dukat denies this just as Damar walks in, giving a report and sneering whenever Bajorans are mentioned. Kira can't help but laugh. Damar glares at Kira, but continues his report and leaves. Dukat then imitates Damar, causing Dukat and Kira to laugh together. The script for this episode, including the deleted scene, can be viewed here. The scene also appears in the novelization of this episode.
Ron Moore commented, "You may argue that we should've cut more from the Worf/Alexander story, but if you look at the show objectively you'll see that there's not a lot of extra material in that story to chop." (AOL chat, 1997)
The teaser as shot for this episode was different from the opening scene that aired, but it had to be cut for timing reasons. Originally, the episode opens in Kira's quarters, with Kira and Jadzia Dax looking at Ziyal's paintings. Dax points out that Kira still misses Ziyal, to which Kira answers, "I'll get over it. Death and I are old friends." Dax then suggests that Kira bring Death to dinner. They get up and leave the room, and the scene then picks up in the corridor as seen in the finished episode. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 509)
A scene was shot in which we see Sarina untie Julian Bashir, and actually speak to him, but the scene was cut for time. [31] "The episode was long, so we were looking for cuts," noted René Echevarria. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 514)
A scene cut from this episode saw Sisko, Worf, Garak, and O'Brien selecting a Cardassian target to attack. The Torg'Q system was the first to be suggested by Worf, as it was the closest system along the border to Cardassia Prime; however, it was also the most heavily fortified. One advantage of this fact was that the Dominion would never expect an attack there, but the disadvantage was that the element of surprise might not last long, resulting in heavy casualties. The Ventani system was the second target, chosen by Garak, because Ventani II was the birthplace of Tret Akleen, the father of the Cardassian Empire. Garak suggested that such a loss of sacred ground would be devastating to the Cardassians and a great propaganda victory. Disadvantages of this target were that the system had little strategic value, and its loss would have no effect on the Jem'Hadar. O'Brien finally chose the Chin'toka system, because he had noticed that sensor scans of the warp signatures from the Dominion fleet stationed there were slightly different (and almost "too synchronized") than previous scans, suggesting that they were fake signatures. [32]
A deleted scene from this episode involved Quark sitting at the bar and lamenting his failure with Ezri, and Jake attempting to cheer him up by making him a drink. The scene would have gone between the scene where Quark hears Ezri talking about Kor and thinks she is talking about Worf, and the scene where he confronts her about her feelings. In the scene, as Quark pours out his heart to Jake, Jake is getting flustered because he is trying to concentrate on making the drink, but Quark keeps distracting him, and he keeps getting it wrong, pouring it out and having to start again. The scene was cut for time. ((AOL chat, 1998); Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 623)
Two scenes were shot for this episode but didn't make it into the final cut because the episode was otherwise too long. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 688) Rene Auberjonois commented about the deleted footage. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 32, Nos. 4/5, pp. 39 & 40) Both scenes can be found in the script:
Kira tells Kasidy Yates that, even though her father wasn't a religious man, he attended services because he loved her mother, and she was religious.
Kasidy surprises Sisko, during a Bajoran blessing ceremony, and concludes the ceremony for him. [33]
Ronald D. Moore revealed that, in a deleted scene, cut for time, "Ezri asked Worf what it was like to stand at the pinnacle of the Empire for a moment and Worf said he remembered wishing his father had been there to see it." [34] The script of that deleted scene can be retrieved at the Italian Star Trek database HyperTrek. [35] See also Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 20 (p. 89).
In a deleted scene from this episode, Kira Nerys, Damar, and Garak get drunk in Enabran Tain's basement. The tail end of the sequence is still in the episode, seen when Kira is lying down, playing with an empty bottle. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 694)

A deleted scene extension showed T'Kuvma, after lighting his bat'leth on fire in an alcove aboard his ship, say something to L'Rell and then walk past her, carrying his lit bat'leth in his hand. Although footage of T'Kuvma setting his bat'leth aflame is included at the start of a montage in the final version of the episode, his walk past L'Rell was cut. (AT: "O Discovery, Where Art Thou?") David Mack stated about the episode, "They cut an entire character, they cut half of a scene." [37]
Saru makes an entry in the acting captain's personal log of the USS Discovery.
An extended version of the scene in which Saru learns of what happened to Paul Stamets was filmed.
Saru tells the crew of the Discovery that they did a job well-done and they applaud. The scene then continues with what was seen in the episode, in which Saru initiates and then cancels a performance review. This and the other two scenes are available on the home-video release.
Following Michael Burnham's killing herself, Lorca, Sylvia Tilly and Paul Stamets discuss this having been her plan in order to get Harry Mudd to reset time. Lorca and Tilly note that if it works, they'll never know, though Stamets says that he will. They count down how much time is remaining before it will no longer be possible for Mudd to reset time.

Part of an "interrogation" scene in which L'Rell and Admiral Katrina Cornwell meet was removed. (AT: "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum") Cornwell actress Jayne Brook explained, "What the audience didn't get to see, we had much more together happening when she came to interrogate me. There was a great moment, that got edited out, where she's circling me to interrogate me and I use my psychology background. She's trying to threaten me, and I say to her, basically, 'You don't have markings of House Kor. You don't speak the language. And you would've killed me already. So, I don't buy any of these threats. Who are you?' That kind of propels L'Rell into saying, 'I want to defect.' In the end, they didn't really need the full scene and they just kept the wanting to defect part." [38]
A short scene extension was cut from the end of a scene in which Stamets and Tilly, dining together in the USS Discovery's mess hall, discuss how using the starship's spore drive is having an impact on Stamets' mental health but also that he is adamant not to tell Dr. Culber about that issue. Recalling the deleted footage, Tilly actress Mary Wiseman explained, "Culber walks in, and then, like, Tilly has a conniption, 'cause she immediately cannot keep a secret. That's something that I was playing. It was, like, the first sign I got that maybe I don't have to keep it anymore. I was like, 'Phew, this is the secret.'" Wiseman also theorized that the "little scenelet," as she referred to it, was edited out because there wasn't time for it to remain in the episode. (AT: "Into the Forest I Go")
A scene described as being from a treaty signing ceremony in a hall with the United Federation of Planets logo, said to be shot at Vaughan City Hall (also used in other scenes from the episode).

George Takei described the scenario as, "We shot three nights, very expensive, with hundreds of extras on location at Occidental College. After the Bird of Prey lands, the crew comes down the ramp bearing Spock's body. Then, there's a fleeting glimpse of all the Vulcans. The next scene shows us entering the temple with Dame Judith Anderson. This was a sequence of pageantry, of spectacle, of color, and an opportunity to present this awesome society we call the Vulcan civilization–the religious hierarchy, the aristocrats, the merchant classes, all the gold and silver vestal virgins." He continued, "I was absolutely aghast when I saw that the sequence was cut out. I'm told that the front office wanted to maintain the relentless pace. The sequence did have an elegiac quality to it, but it was stunning and very highly paced, visually." (Starlog #109, August 1986, p. 16)
