In the draft, I was quite adamant that they actually did strip Baltar. That they stripped him completely and he was totally naked and the pages fell out. And that there was a pissing contest between him and her, that he was gonna defy her and she was gonna take it to the limit, and there was a humiliation factor involved with the fact that she was gonna strip him completely naked, and that he was gonna make her do it. The actors did not share my view of this scene, and felt quite strongly that actually he would preserve his dignity at some point and that Laura would not push it beyond a certain point. And I eventually was persuaded by their argument. They felt very strongly about it and I let it go. There is still a part of me that wishes that she had humiliated him to that level, that the end of the scene was her realization that she had humiliated him to that level and [her] regret, and that Baltar was defiant and felt victory and yet felt shame. I like the conflicting agendas of those two things. But I don’t have to do it on the set. They know the characters on some level better than I do, and I acquiesced to their take on the scene. And I think the scene works, I think the scene works very nicely. —Ronald D. Moore

Filed under battlestar galactica hateship of my heart baltar x six gifs laura roslin gaius baltar headsix ADDKJFDKJLKDF favorite behind the scenes story?! ngl i would not turn down his version of the scene but I also kinda side with the actors and I think it's such a strength of this show how much input they had and more importantly I DO think the intent of this scene comes off just as he described it the defiance and mutual shaming of it and it didn't need to go further for the sake of going further just aaaah i hate everything i love this show ALSO BABIES. HURT/COMFORT BABIES HI HEADSIX.
