I figured it's a pretty big deal that Peter Laird is finally making public the nature of his input on the 2k3 episodes on his blog (email correspondence with Lloyd Goldfine), so why not devote a thread to it so the fans can offer their opinions on what might have been, what actually was, and could it have been either better or worse?
