Also note that much of the story comes predominantly from the gospel of Mark. VERSION DIFFERENCE: There are two alternate versions of this episode which run in the broadcast cycle for AIO.

Review | |
Characters: Whit, Connie Kendall, Eugene Meltsner, Donna Barclay |
|
Notes: Parts of this episode are very similar to the very first story about disobedience, the one about Adam and Eve. God sets up a garden and says that Adam and Eve are allowed to eat from any tree but one. Whit sets up a computer room and says that Eugene may use any program but one. Connie, like Eve, was curious about the program and eventually was tempted into using it. She then got Eugene involved and at first they tried to hide what they did from Whit. In the end, they were sent away from the place they had sinned. Also interesting is the name of the program: "Applesauce" (many think of the fruit Adam and Eve ate as an apple). VERSION DIFFERENCE: The broadcast version of this episode begins with Chris interviewing Dr. Snitzelbonker, who says he has discovered that mankind is basically evil. He recounts a story about how two of his employees stole his computers. |
