Oh, fantastic! There's obviously some treasures in those boxes of film. It's exciting to consider what may be discovered for future seasons. I'm trying to think of any famously missing material that may turn up...

Here's a collection of known deleted scenes:

Note that not all of them were filmed.
It's interesting that neither "The Icarus Factor" nor "Up the Long Ladder" are on that list though. |
If you look at the teleplay of "The Icarus Factor" you'll see that scene A21 was cut from broadcast (in addition, scene 24 has some additional dialogue):
Code:
INT. CORRIDOR - DATA AND GEORDI
are approaching the doors to Ten-Forward.
GEORDI
You think Worf is going to
appreciate being observed like
some laboratory specimen?
DATA
You are correct. He is not
insensitive... particularly at
this stage of his development.
GEORDI
Just remember, this is Wesley's
operation, okay?
DATA
Wesley is quite competent.
Just as they approach Ten-Forward, Wesley steps up,
agitated.
WESLEY
You guys aren't going to believe
this...
GEORDI
Believe what?
WESLEY
Commander Riker just caught me
coming out of the turbolift.
GEORDI
So? This area isn't off limits
to you.
WESLEY
I know, but I've been working on
Paracelsian computations as part
of my studies and he wants them
right away.
GEORDI
What about Worf?
WESLEY
When Commander Riker says right
away he means right away.
DATA
Indeed.
WESLEY
(re Ten-Forward)
You guys can cover for me, can't
you?
GEORDI
Wait a minute. This whole
thing --
WESLEY
I've got to get my computations
done.
GEORDI
You don't expect us to --
WESLEY
Oh, come on. What are friends
for?
(to Data)
Right?
Data reacts, very much put on the spot; then:
DATA
Go ahead. Finish your work and
We shall study Worf.
WESLEY
I knew I could count on you guys!
With that, Wesley heads off down the corridor, leaving
Data to face Geordi, as we:
GO TO:
"Up the Long Ladder" (AKA "Send in the Clones") has a lot more changes spread throughout (dialogue mostly). Scene 24 in particular was never aired:
Code:
INT. SICKBAY
Pulaski is treating an ancient Bringloidi. Riker and
Brenna ENTER. Pulaski runs a device over the OLD
MAN'S arm, and cures his crippling rheumatoid
arthritis. His claw-like hand relaxes and he
experimentally wiggles the fingers. Brenna is amazed.
This is magic. The old man is so pleased with this
new mobility that as Pulaski turns away to replace the
device he leans off the biobed, and pinches her on
the ass. Pulaski calmly swats his hand.
PULASKI
Behave yourself.
OLD MAN
You're a fine woman, and you've
made a young man of me.
PULASKI
No, I've cured your arthritis,
and if you try anything more
energetic you'll probably drop
dead.
OLD MAN
(with a leer)
I'd die happy.
PULASKI
Out.
He hobbles past Brenna and Riker with a wink and
another leer. Pulaski crosses to the couple.
BRENNA
You know how to handle men.
PULASKI
Yes, first you have to get their
attention.
Riker chuckles. He doesn't mind being made the butt of
a joke. Brenna crosses to Pulaski.
BRENNA
How did you give Joey back his
hand?
PULASKI
(picking up the
instrument)
Oh dear, that would be difficult
to explain.
BRENNA
(frustrated)
Like everything else aboard this
ship. I'm too ignorant to
understand. And this is the one
thing that looks useful.
The frustration is evident in her voice. Pulaski says
very gently --
PULASKI
You're interested in medicine?
BRENNA
I'm healer and midwife. Or I
thought I was.
Pulaski tries to comfort her.
PULASKI
All I've every wanted is to take
away the hurt. These wonderful
tools help me do that, but
sometimes I feel more like a
mechanic than a doctor.
Now the situation's reversed. Brenna takes Pulaski's
hand in both of hers, closes her eyes as she searches
for the healing power.
BRENNA
You've the hands of a healer.
You can't put that in a machine.
Suddenly there's a hell of a bond between these women.
Riker knows when he's a fifth wheel.
RIKER
I'll leave you ladies to your
discussions. Dinner, Brenna?
I'll cook.
Brenna glances at Pulaski and raises her eyebrows.
Leans in close, keeping it private between the two of
them.
BRENNA
Is he real?
Both of the women are eyeing Riker thoughtfully.
PULASKI
(sotto voce to Brenna)
Oh, yes, very real.
The message is subtle -- when life offers you
something... take it. Riker knows female bonding when
he sees it. He gets the hell out of the way. Riker
EXITS.
As well as scene 39B:
Code:
INT. CARGO HOLD (PREVIOUSLY SCENE 34)
As many extras as can possibly be squeezed into the
hold, all dressed in scruffy immigrant clothes. An
occasional cry from a baby, chickens clucking.
Accompanied by traditionally Irish instruments,
Danilo, the colony's Shan'a'kee, imparts the history.
Worf is seated with Brenna, Picard ENTERS, and leans
against a wall just listening.
DANILO
And after a long and gentle sleep
we awoke and there was Bringloid,
our dream world. Our companions
in the butterfly ship left us
off, and said they would leave
a guard in heaven to look out for
us.
(MORE)
DANILO (Cont'd)
They flew on in the darkness -- their
search was not yet over -- but
we had found the sun, a
world, a home.
BRENNA
And now we have lost it.
DANILO
We'll find another.
BRENNA
When? How long must we wait and
journey?
Picard's expression has been shifting as various
emotions and realizations strike him. He crosses
swiftly to Worf, leans in.
PICARD
I finally understand. That
distress satellite was left by
the Mariposans as a way to protect
the Bringloidi. There were two
colonies on that ship.
WORF
Interesting, Captain.
PICARD
And not terribly relevant, I know.
Still, it gives one pause for
thought....
Picard's voice trails away, and he EXITS.
And the final scene (48) is quite different:
Code:
INT. MAIN BRIDGE
Picard in the command chair, Troi is at his side. Worf
is at Tactical. Data at OPS. Supernumerary at CONN.
Riker and Pulaski ENTER from the aft turbolift.
PICARD
All squared away?
RIKER
The Bringloidi have reached their
new home.
DATA
It is unfortunate that we cannot
remain for several months, and
observe the integration of the
two colonies.
PULASKI
They're going to do just fine.
They're survivors, both of them.
PICARD
We've done what we could. We've
put the cats in the same sack,
and given it a good shake.
DATA
But what is occurring on Mariposa
is a demonstration of
sociobiology, and the concept of
the selfish gene.
(MORE)
DATA (Cont'd)
Males and females are each
pursuing their respective
reproductive strategies in an
effort to maximize their
contribution to the gene pool of
the next generation.
RIKER
Data, I liked the captain's
analogy better.
DATA
Why?
PULASKI
It was more romantic.
Troi is laughing. Riker is struggling to suppress a
smile. Data is bewildered.
DATA
How are cats in a sack romantic?
They would fight and scratch
and...
Everyone is laughing now.
WORF
Very romantic. I hunt in darkness.
The stars my guide. The memory
of you sings in my blood. I seize
the gift.
The bridge crew is really entranced. Wow, Klingon
poetry. This is really building to something. What is
the gift?
WORF
(continuing)
Carry it to your bower. And lay
at your feet the hearts of my
enemies.
The silence is deafening. Picard turns slowly back to
face the main viewscreen. Points at CONN.
PICARD
Engage.
WORF
(sotto voce)
Perhaps it does not translate
well.
