* The fate of the spacecraft ''Tsien'' in the novel. During their refueling stop on Europa, the spacecraft's brilliant exterior lighting attracts the attention of an tree-like lifeform that climbs on the spacecraft and topples it over, cracking the hull open and killing its crew, save Dr. Chang, who was outside on an EVA. He saves the lifeform from freeze-drying to death in a misguided attempt to spawn in the light from a still-working fixture by kicking it back to the hole in the ice it came from, but it still leaves him to die of asphyxiation when his suit runs out of oxygen, broadcasting from his suit radio in the blind in hope that the ''Leonov'' will receive the signal and realy the message back to Earth.

* The movie (along with the novel) creates a retroactive tear jerker for 2001: HAL's breakdown which lead to the death of almost the entire crew of Discovery '''''wasn't his fault.''''' Chandra explains that the White House ordered HAL to keep the existence of the Monolith a secret, which conflicted with his basic programming. This caused him to descend into paranoia which resulted in him attempting to kill the crew. Even worse is that Floyd, the man who discovered the Monolith in 2001 and planned the Discovery mission, had no idea that this occurred. He's understandably livid when Chandra reveals the truth.

* In the novel, Dave's character gets a really sad background story. He had an older brother named Robert, and while both of them were younger (Bobby was teenaged, Dave was somewhere in his pre-teens), they tried some amateur diving in a deep lake near their home. What they didn't know was that the run-of-the-mill air compressor they'd hooked up a snorkel mouthpiece to was concentrating carbon monoxide in the air flow. Dave survived because he'd only dived a short depth to test the mechanism out, merely leaving him with an aggressive headache. Bobby went deeper, and never came back up. They never even recovered the body, requiring a wax replica for his funeral.
** Twisting the knife a little deeper, guess who was Bobby's girlfriend before he died? Betty, who later started dating Dave as a way for each of them to try and heal.
** Also, in the novel, Betty reveals that her son Carlos was actually Dave's son, not that of her husband.
