The one with Count Iblis...."The War of the Gods"
When I watched the scene in part 2, Starbuck, Apollo and Athena walked into the wrecked husk if the ship that Iblis claimed he crashed in. As soon as he walked into the hatch, MY TV WENT FUZZY AND THERE WAS NOTHING BUT AUDIO!
Upon later reading (YEARS later), I learned that that scene was edited out due to the findings of cloven hooves on the other crewmembers. The implication was that the producers didn't want to mesh anything "Satanic" with the series.
Now, my question: Did it show that scene where you watched it?
E16. What was inside the wrecked ship in "War of the Gods"
According to the original script and the novelization, the wreckage belonged to Count Iblis' comrades. Here is the scene in the script, as Apollo and Starbuck enter the wreckage.
Apollo: Everything is pretty well vaporized. Whatever hit this thing must have had the power of a sun.
Apollo stops dead in his tracks, looks down. He seems to shutter.
Apollo: Starbuck!
Starbuck looks over and sees the sober look on Apollo's face. He moves over and looks down as Apollo begins to put on some tight fitting gloves. A piece of metallic surface, highly scorched but out of which protrudes a foot-like extremity, except that it's tip is clearly in the shape of a cloven hoof. Apollo and Starbuck exchange heavy looks. Apollo bends down and tries to life the metal. As they lift it off, tossing it aside, they grimace in horror. Under the wreckage is the figure of a devil, a demon.
The networks decided to drop the scene with the cloven hoof for two reasons. The scene might be scary to younger audiences, and there were religious implications behind the scene (i.e. "satanic".) For audience members, the absence of the scene wrongly suggested that the warriors had peered inside the wreckage of Commander Cain's Battlestar Pegasus. As Count Iblis told Sheba, "Your father, you will see him again."
