Originally, the first few minutes of this episode was meant to be cut and included in an eventual Nerdwatch “blooper reel”, or simply filed away with the previously mentioned “lost season” of Sneak King. But at the last minute I decided to just go ahead and include the sequence in its raw form, partly because I thought it was funny and partly because I didn’t really have any other “blooper” moments stored away for my original plan to be very feasible.
Whether keeping it in the final product was a mistake or not is ultimately up to you.
