The original pilot episode of Stargate: SG1 had a scene where a woman is stripped against her will by the villain. The camera lingers over her naked body for awhile while a bad puppet alien snake slithers around. The show was originally on premium cable and the network insisted that they include nudity. The producers hated the scene and the fans generally don't like it. The actress has said that she was lied to about how much of her body would be shown in the final cut. It's very tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series. When the episode re-airs on basic cable they show an alternate cut of scene which is much shorter and removes the nudity. This version also appears on some home media releases. I think that's ok, right? It doesn't change the intent of the scene. We still get that the villainous Goa'uld are evil and cruel. Anyone want to argue that no, actually, the weird alien-puppet-hissing-at-a-naked-lady scene HAS to stay in for the sake of artistic purity? Ironically the version that's on Netflix includes the full-frontal scene, and for some reason that affects the rating of the entire series: Each episode is rated M and includes a "Nudity" tag, despite no other episode containing nudity.
