As a relative late comer to the GF Wiki page, I am nevertheless delighted to be able to find that there are still plenty of gaps to fill in the Trivia, Goofs, and Continuity to keep me plenty busy.

I enjoy seeing that there are plenty of sharp-eyed fans who came before me, but I also notice that an imprecise choice of words sometimes results in inaccurate statements.

But now I've run into the first triva reference that seems not just inaccurate, but completely 180-degrees wrong.

It makes me wonder if someone simply saw something I missed, or vice versa.

The issue is especially clouded in this specific case since it involves possibility of a post-production, post airing, censorship; and a claim (unsupported by citation) mentions an online clip that supposedly proves that a change was made.

As always, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Or as Soos says "Ya gotta have proof or people will think you're a major league koo-koo clock."

The episode in question is "The Deep End", and the spefic clip is the moment Stan uses his watch to reflect a burning ray of sunlight at Gideon to drive the invader out of Stan's favorite chair.

Having just downloaded and watched the episode, I was quite certaint that Stan speaks the line "Burn the child."

But the trivia section of the episode's wiki page claims that Disney objected to the word 'burn' and made the writers change it to 'blind'.

Which sounds like backwards reasoning to me.

I wouldn't care to be either burned or blinded, but forced into a choice, I'd take a mild burn over "mild" case of blinding any day!

Does a clip with Stan saying "Blind the child" exist? Can anyone produce a link?

What about the episode aired on TV? What do you recall hearing the last time you saw the episode broadcast rather than the last time you saw it atreaming online?
