* An Creator/{{NBC}} pilot called ''17th Precinct''. Created by Creator/RonMoore, and starring ''Battlestar Galactica'' and ''Caprica'' alumni such as Creator/EsaiMorales, Creator/JamieBamber, Creator/JamesCallis and Creator/TriciaHelfer, about the titular police precinct in an AlternateHistory modern-day world with magic instead of science. Bamber and Callis play the main detective duo (with Callis as the FakeAmerican this time and Bamber using his natural British accent) and Helfer plays the resident police mortician, or rather {{Necromancer}}, Morgana. It ended up getting passed over by NBC. Fortunately, it has now been [[https://rutube.ru/video/4f26ec06905add87a428bcc0312da260/ leaked online]] in all of its what-might-have been glory.

* Tom [=DeSanto=] and Creator/BryanSinger, with the full support of Glen A. Larson, originally proposed directing a faithful continuation of the 1978 series set some 20 years later, using as much of the original cast as possible. The project got as far as having scripts written, cast hired, sets built and filming scheduled. Then 9/11 happened, which caused delays, and then both [=DeSanto=] and Singer left the project to work on ''Film/XMen2'', as the delay to filming BSG was interfering with their contractual obligations to start the movie by a certain date. Then Sci-Fi Channel tore up all the pre-production sets, without warning, overnight, whilst green-lighting the series we all know now. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100619143156/http://www.battlestargalactica.com:80/newfilms.htm This page]] gives some idea as to What Could Have Been.

* The original plan for Season 4.5 had Ellen as a villain, Tory having more involvement in Baltar's cult, which would turn violent, Cavil's forces attacking during the mutiny, Gaeta and Zarek's group leaving the Fleet in their own ships for an uncertain fate, and Boomer coming over and convincing more Cylons to join the Fleet. It was revised during the Writer's Strike hiatus.
