A lot of recycled and cutting-room-floor in AGTD. Reminds me of Hamlet
in this respect. Hamlet is cutting-room floor material slapped
together into the longest, by far,  play Shakespeare wrote; it's full
of speeches and plays within plays that don't hold together, loose and
at times quite rediculous; the young Hamlet giving acting lessons to
professional actors, for example.
