Setting up what was scripted to be a new sequence but what in the pilot is actually simply a new scene:
175 INT. SEROLOGY LAB - HOSPITAL - NIGHT
CLOSE on BLOOD SLIDE magnified through a microscope lens.
|
And that's where the first part of today's quote -
Page 78/Scene 175 - Dr. Fisher (O.S.): 'The same traces of human saliva.'
- is scripted to come up, followed in the script by:
176 ANOTHER ANGLE
To include Woodard and Patterson standing beside him. Fisher looks up.
|
And that's where the second part of today's quote -
Page 78/Scene 176 - Dr. Fisher: 'But there is something else. I didn't mention it to you earlier because I wasn't sure what it was ... I discovered a very strange cell in Daphne's blood sample.'
- is scripted to come up.
And when it comes to anything different in the dialogue, once again, it's delivered almost exactly as written.
However, when it comes to the differences between the script's direction and descriptions of scenes and what actually happens in the pilot things are definitely different. Scene 175 doesn't really take place at all because what we first see is not a blood slide magnified through a microscope lens because rather than Dr. Fisher being off screen, we actually see him on screen at a microscope - and so we also see him as he delivers his line about there being the same traces of human saliva - and there isn't another angle to include Woodard and Patterson because Dr. Fisher simply moves back from the microscope to reveal them - and Fisher stands before he reveals his discovery of the strange cell in Daphne's blood sample.
And it's too bad that today's capture, which depicts Woodard wearing a bow tie -
- wasn't yesterday's capture. Why is that some of you might ask? Well, it's because yesterday was
National Bow Tie Day!! Missed it by only a day.
