On the 15 year anniversary of the airing of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode ‘1×01: 33’ I posted a video clip from the episode and a copy of the script that had different lines than what was said on screen. So either that was an old version of the script or Aaron ad-libbed the last line. I had a feeling it was the latter.
The below video shows the scene from the script, then the scene from the episode.
Today while listening to the latest Battlestar Galacticast podcast which was a table read of episode ‘1×01: 33’. Bodie was playing Chief Tyrol and he says “it’s gonna be alright” in response to Cally. So “shut up” *WAS* an ad-lib by Aaron. You can listen to the audio clip of the scene below.
