proposal "an interesting opportunity" made even more attractive by the division's offer to subsidize part of its production costs. Moore was also happy to meet their other requirement, which was to produce 10 to 15 minutes' worth of scenes that would not be part of the broadcast version; he noted on the DVD audio commentary track that such a requirement was not a problem, since the rough cut of most of the show's episodes are always too long. He also noted that the division gave the crew the option of including scenes of violence or sex that would normally not meet Sci Fi's broadcast standards, but in the end Moore chose not to go that route, even cutting a torture scene that was part of the script during principal photography. Because of how the show's third season had ended, Moore decided "there was no way there could be a home video release that could stand alone and also work in the continuity of the show. It had to be something that took place before the season 3 cliffhanger." According to the DVD commentary, Moore and his editors undertook a significant re-ordering and editing of the rough cut that was based on the script as used during principal photography. The narrative was made more linear, a change that screenwriter Michael Taylor was disappointed about, though he admitted (later in the commentary) that at least one person close to him but not the show—someone who saw both the scripted version and Moore's final version—found it easier to follow. Both Moore and Taylor noted that the end-result occasionally suffers from what they called the phantom limb-like effects that are inevitable when a last-minute re-structuring is done, referring to subtle changes in tone and performance that hint at scenes no longer included or included in a different order. In some cases they were able to compensate with ADR. Sci Fi Channel confirmed on March 21, 2007, that part of the show's renewal for a fourth season of 22 episodes included a television film to be released sometime in the fall of 2007. The film comprises the first two of 22 episodes. While Razor is set in the past (in relation to the conclusion of season three), Moore has stated that "the events set up in that story will then pay off in season 4." He explained his rationale for involving the Pegasus, saying that
