Hi, Joe,

I couldn't help but notice the lack of act breaks in the early Gathering 
script. Just curious, did you intentionally structure it to work as a 
feature script in case the pilot deal fell through?

I also wanted to mention how striking it was to see "October 31, 2005" at 
the end of your introduction. I know it's not uncommon to have government 
reports and conference proceedings, etc. quickly bound and distributed, but 
it's still very cool to have something of this magnitude go from your 
word-processor to press and into our hands in less than a month. On-demand 
publishing: it gave me a real "why couldn't I have thought of this" feeling.

Mine says 29 October 2005.  Are there different versions?

There is only one date, the 29th, and it appears at the end of the last
episodic commentary.
