Purely coincidental :D

This is one of the episode that the uncut version improved a hell of a lot. There is SO much cut out from this episode on the American DVD-set, like the very last scene, for one, which was so sweet. I gave this a strong 4 when I had only seen the syndicated episode, the uncut version changed my mind about it and lead me to give it the highest rating, a 5. It has everything and then some! A lot of good jokes, some sweet moments between ALF and Willie. It's always a very strong point in every episode where we have ALF and Willie getting along for once.

If you don't mind, remind me of what the last scene was. I haven't seen the uncut version in so long...

ALF and Willie are off the train and are sitting around a campfire. Willie shows up, having bought beans, which ALF is delighted about.

This episode is quite cool, but I think I liked others better.
