This is fascinating. First I had no idea that there are deleted scenes in television series, due to the time constraints on network television. Secondly, The Wounded in mho, one of TNG's most memorable episodes. Thank you for sharing this.
Very interesting...all in all it was a good call to cut these, as nothing is really added to the episode in them. There is a pivotal exception, that is Riker’s remark that with the transponder code the Cardassians would be able to track ALL federation ships. It didn’t really make any sense, so it’s great it was cut.
Presumably, each ship would have its own transponder codes, so although the codes given would allow complete access to the Phoenix's systems, including all computer and sensor information (hence locations of other Federation ships) but it would only allow direct access to the Phoenix's own shields, not other ships' shields. I would hope that other ships' transponder codes would still not be accessible.
The bit that was cut out with Maxwell explaining how he effectively uses “reasonable suspicion”, like a police officer would without a warrant, should’ve been left in. Rather than sounding like a mad man, he suddenly sounds like the disgruntled cop who’s trying to get ahead of a gang war before it becomes violent, and he just got pushed into a situation where he made one bad decision under duress that spiraled out of control. When you compare this to Picard’s request to deploy the task force in “Redemption Pt 2”, the only thing separating Picard and Maxwell is the Federation politics involved. The Feddies don’t want to touch the open wound of the botched Cardassian treaty, because they know it will just reveal how incompetent they are to the public. However, on and off blockades and interference with the Romulans? They can sell that as a preemptive “peacekeeping action”.
it's not a lot that was cut but enough to add more nuance and THIS episode really needs every single scene. It's one of the best TNG Episodes. If they ever decide to release a "extended cut" or longer Workprint release of some episodes, like they did with the assembled feature length double episodes, i would buy it. They could easily release 3 or 4 episodes on a single Blu-ray and call it a day. Perhaps even more should there be more workprint cuts of other episodes exist. Maybe even with an audio commentary of the director. THAT would make me certainly wanna buy it.
often field comissions during war override. tactical officer in this case is more just an ease of tongue. Its a position, not a rank. Enlisted personnel are at times given officer positions in on the field placements. It was war, skillset over paperwork. he never said he was the chief of tactical.
@@Sage2000 they lost quite a few key personal at setlik 3 - and obrien was one of the guys that turned that situation around, it takes time to get replacements in war.

This is so interesting to see these cut bits of dialogue.
Gives me insight about how editing changed the narrative in the final versions of episodes. Thank you for the upload!
Thank Cyril Paciullo for locating the footage. I just wanted fans of TNG to see it.

Cyril Paciullo was the one who found it. You should be thanking him.
This was such a good episode especially the dialogue between the two captains.

It certainly raised the staked, didn't it? 🙁
O'Brien was such a bigger man than most, being able to let his hate go
Would be nice if Paramount+ offered special extended episodes of TNG featuring the best compatible deleted scenes....
Like they did for “The Measure of a Man?”
thanks for making this available
Don’t mention it.

Thank you. To me what makes zero sense is the "O'Brian as the tactical officer" thing.
He aways has been part of the enlosted crew, not an officer.

@@bensmith5064 I guess you could be right. Still would not make much sense in a Nebula Class Starship

different ship at the time, nebula were not yet in service
@@bensmith5064 good call
thanks for shearing (trekkie from belgium)
longtime trek fan very interesting thank you
Sweet ship, bro
Great. Thanks so much
0:32 and Who's fault is that?
And then Maxwell went on to be the warden of Shawshank prison. 😎😁
Got more?
We'll see.
were these scenes added to the netflix run?
No.
@@tscream804 years since this comment, weird how I’m back here randomly. Thanks for letting me now. Watched all of old trek back then 👍

I think he might have slurred it a bit.
@@darthkurland We are going to have a UNIFIED IRELAND in 2024 According to the BANNED Clip The High Ground. Something to celebrate for the Weekend
Captain Maxwell was the best captain ain Starfleet by far. He knew what was going on and he was ultimately proven correct.
