You know, I've always wondered about this myself, and whether it was a blatant attempt to make Dr. Kirby seem more Lex Luthorish, or if the vengeful Emperor had ordered Kirby shaved bald as part of his punishment, like in the Paksennarion books by Elizabeth Moon.

Good addition to the episode!

interesting scene! Probably was cut from the episode to make room for more commercials !

Love this little piece. A very intriguing explanation for Dr. Kirby's presence, since he would most definitely enjoy seeing his germ at work! And it would be so like him to draw a blood sample from a victim.

Yay, Coley has a cameo!

And of course, Jim's thought process on the Governor is priceless. LOL.

Great deleted scene.

Oh wow! That was a really good explanation!

This is a great "fill in" to explain Jim's reaction when he comes face to face with Dr. Kirby. That one scene has always disturbed and annoyed me. It made no sense. Obviously a scene in the original script was cut out-thinking that viewers would never notice in that era, since they would see the show only once, at most twice on a rerun. (And no Internet was available for fans to complain in!)

But with this short "missing scene," I'll never have to worry again. I'll know how and why Jim knew the doctor.

Wonderful job! Thanks!

Aha! Perfect explanation!
