Alt Scenes
There were some disagreements with regard to certain plot points in this episode. No one seems to remember exactly what those disagreements were, but as a compromise a set of "alternate" scenes were written and recorded, so we could decide which ones to use during post-production. Most of these ended up in the final version (one reason the episode became so long), with a few modifications and cuts.
