Vegas/EatG - What Was New?

[Broccoli]

I rented disc 5 of Stargate Atlantis's final season to see the extended versions of "Vegas" and "Enemy at the Gate". Judging from the runtimes, each episode is about 3 minutes longer than the average one.

My question is, what was added? I haven't seen the episodes since the initial airing (so my memory of them isn't the greatest), but I didn't notice anything major that was inserted into the episodes.

I did catch the extra Keller scene in EatG, and I think they added a scene between Alt-Sheppard and Alt-Woosley in "Vegas" (where they are in the car and Alt-Woosley claims he isn't FBI).

Given the extended time was only 3 minutes, I am guessing the majority were very short and/or slightly extended scenes.

Anyone here happen to know what was the new content?

Listen to the commentaries on both to hear them explain what exactly was added.

Yeah, those were 2. It is surprising that 3 mins got added to both but neither ep seemed to have anything that really stood out. In EATG, they re-edited the scene where Shep is telling Carter he's about to set off the nuke-in the tv version, that scene was separated by commercial break, then came back showing us Rodney hearing Shep radio call and telling him to wait. Here, it was edited to play out as one continuous scene.
All in all, very disappointing 'added' material.

Wow. 3 minutes of added material. That was definately worth advertising on the box as a bonus. I suppose that fits in with all of the other extended/ unedited copies of movies and shows we get nowadays.

I guess we were spoiled with "Threads" which added something like 15 minutes of added material (well, sorta, since the longer version was the aired version).

Those seemed to be more character moments that were there to add extra background to the episode, but were not actually needed (I remember we were questioning if Alt-Woosley really was FBI in the episode in the review thread) but did add some expositional details to the overall story.

They're adding in little character moments on DVD now? What about the only scene of consequence in Trio? At least we got to see that as an extra.

Well, they are character moments, but they also fill in some blanks from the aired episodes.

Probably the one where Carter mentions she's seeing a certain unnamed high muckity muck who works in Washington, wink, wink.

Yes, among other character details for McCay and Keller.

Link.

And somewhere several Jack/Sam shippers do a fist pump while yelling out "YESSS!"

Only to be incredibly crushed when it turns out she is seeing some nobody banker that she randomly met one day.

I totally want to pay for more Keller.
