pilot question

[gothambat]

hello i was wondering if the airded pilot show the lines barb and helena when she is fighting with her about wearing a mask like in the unairded pilot

[Aeryn Sun]

I don't think so. I've watched it three times already and I don't remember them fighting about her wearing a mask.

They cut that scene... and it's sad because it was a very important one between Huntress and Oracle.

[Knightwing]

No kidding!!

So, what were her reasons for not wearing a mask? (Is that from the unaired pilot? I need to get a copy of that...)

[Psychic Oracle]

Here's the blurb:

Barbara: I can't believe you told him all of that.
Helena: Hey, he chained me to a 2nd century Greek Bronze. Kinda Classy. Don't worry, he won't say anything.
Barbara: If you would just listen to me and wear a mask.
Helena: You want me to dress like my parents! Being a crime fighter doesn't mean I have to be a fashion casualty.
Barbara: There's nothing wrong with wearing a costume.
Helena: Okay, could we say conspicuous?
Barbara: Oh, and that outfit's low-key?
Helena: It's trendy. I could go clubbing in it, but no, that would involve having a life.
Barbara: We have a life.
Helena: No, we have a job, and maybe that's enough for you. It's what you wanted! You sought him out and convinced him to train you. You chose your mentor. I don't even know if I want to be in the family business.
Barbara: It's not the mob, Helena.
Helena: No, they get to kill people.
Barbara: Do you think this place, this chair, this life is what I wanted?! You can leave if you want. For a day, week, year maybe, but you'll be back, because this is where you belong, where we both belong.
Dinah: I got the stuff you wanted from the armory

[Knightwing]

Nice. Thanks! (don't know why they cut that out?!)

I had not realized that they cut that line about not wearing a mask. Guess it was such a prominent part of that long promo that I just assumed it was in the pilot. I did notice that in one other scene--I think it was the bar when Barbara has that line "It's who we are!" they cut Helena's response of "It's who you are!" and an accompanying tirade. I think some of this was cut because of too much complaining by the character and left a bad--and misleading impression.

i am more than a little worried, i really want to see the aired show, it sounds to me like they cut some really good stuff.

anyone who is willing to help me out on that fron will be hansomeley rewarded, all i ask is that i can get copies of the show sent down to me here in tasmania (am willing to pay!!!!)

anyone else got any info on what was cut and changed from the unaired pilot to the aired version...

it sounds a bit like they dumbed it down a bit, i thought the original pilot was very intelligent...

oh well.
