I'm not a geek on these matters but I would have to agree. I wouldn't mind
if they stuck in variations on this as bonus material, such as "Top 10 Fan
Suggestions For A New Final Line," but to muck with the actual source
material is wrong. I personally hate the line, makes everything too
confusing, but it's what the man wrote/voice actress ad-libbed so we've got
to accept it.
