That is a very funny image, and yeah, there was some of that.

There were also plots where we had an idea, set it up, and then the timing for a payoff was never quite right. Or plots where we had an idea, started the setup, and things veered left because we realized there was something we'd overlooked. Or we did something, realized a likely ramification, but never got around to playing out the ramification. Or we had a plan, and just spaced it.
