What is so intriguing about something that is scraped?
Our ears become more alert than ever and eyes bigger than ever when a deleted chapter of a book or a deleted scene of a film is available to us. The book or film which was once completely acceptable by you as a whole, is now suddenly incomplete without you reading this scraped bit. Our minds like unedited and moreover unpublished information although we know that it was unpublished for a reason. Probably the author of it thought he needed to do better. So then those scenes did matter and I'm glad that they do. Maybe deleted scenes have as much validity as the ones that made it on air for the simple reason that, for the writers, in their minds, those scenes or chapters have happened. They wrote them, they shot them and at the last minute, they cut them but they'll be relying on them anyway.. maybe for the mythology of the film/book. It doesn't matter how beautiful, expensive or awesome a scene is- according to editors, (or so it may seem to us that according to them) if you can cut it and the film still makes sense then cut it. The missing scene most of the times proves otherwise. It changes the movie/ book. Maybe they scraped it just to release it in solitude later and add "How it changed the movie", because they know, we like information that is given to us with a title 'Deleted', and so they use their blue-pencil.
