I hope my suggestion of keeping things closer to the original didn't turn anyone away. I still hope we can keep a good energy for this. My editing of the script is underway. I imagine the biggest changes will be in the beginning and end. When this is done (or perhaps when segments are done), I will post my progress which you guys can read and then provide suggestions. I am being fairly conservative thus far in my edit, as I don't feel the plot needs as much work as others feel. The biggest changes needed would be in the execution of certain scenes and plot points rather than the overall story. However, as I said I'm open to ideas. Posting your ideas here is a good way to keep the creative juices flowing, but when I submit a copy of the script for your consideration, I suggest you again provide any ideas you've already supplied with justification.

Spence edit has some good ideas, though it's not perfect IMHO. Also the wishlist has great ideas. Also getting ideas from the novel. I think I can make this plot more intense with mostly what we already have at our disposal.

Is there anyone, by the way, who feels they have the skill to improve the quality of the deleted scenes? If we could lock such a person in place, we may already have enough skill among existing volunteers to pull this thing off :)
