Thanks for pointing out that fluff.

I've not posted much in the way of acronyms for a few days so I'm out of practice.

Perhaps he should be inserted into the briefing scene for the lulz.

This here blog entry (PRACTICALLY ALL SPOILERS SO DON"T GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN SPOILER FREE) points out shots from the trailers that aren't in the film which hint at major scene reshuffles including characters being removed from scenes.

This seems to hold up my theory that a lot of the problems with this film were caused by clumsy editing.

One particular scene would have made a lot more sense if his observations are correct (it currently makes very little sense at all).
