Stolen Earth, stolen scene

Wow! I've been meaning to post a reaction post to "Stolen Earth", but I just haven't had the time-I'm sorry!! Since "Journey's End" is on tonight, I'll probably be posting a reaction to both episodes soon.

For now-I've got a missing scene from the U.S. broadcast of "Stolen Earth". Even though it's not a Sarah Jane scene, I figured you guys wouldn't mind knowing what was missing!

As far as I can tell, only one scene was cut: it was the scene right before Sylvia and Wilf meet up with Rose. The Daleks were rounding up the humans, and Wilf and Sylvia were watching from round the corner of a house. One father who was being round up said he wasn't going to go, and told his family to go back inside. Then he threw something at the Dalek and told them to go back where they came from. The Daleks then got into attack formation, screamed "Maximum extermination!" and destroyed the entire house! Sylvia was begging her dad to come in, and he said no, he had 'this!'. "It's a paint gun!" He told her to look at the eye piece-he figured he could blind them with a shot of paint.

Don't forget! Part 2, "Journey's End", airs tonight on SciFi, starting at 8:30pm, EST. Yup-a half hour early! SciFi has an hour and a half block for this episode, so hopefully the cuts will be quite minimal (5 minutes or so, as opposed to 20-25, had there only been an hour).

Only seven and a half hours to go! I can't wait! :)

Awesome-sauce, enjoy the season finale! Thou shalt LOVE it! Well, it didn't top Stolen Earth for me - but t'was still brilliant.

Don't know why they cut that scene from the U.S version. We saw it over here in England uncut.

They cut out most things from Last of the Time Lords to fit it into their forty-five minute slot, so that may be the reason this time.

CBC (Canada) cut even more stuff. Journey's End was barely worth watching, they'd hacked it up so badly (the whole good bye in the park scene and the German Daleks and more).
Good to meet you in Chicago!
