Okay, let me try this again.

The "dark energy" ending was the plan of the original head writer, who left a while ago. As far as I know, this was not the ending in the leaked script from late 2011, as he was long gone by then. If there's any evidence to contrary, I'd really like to see it, because people have been throwing this around for a while without ever actually backing it up.
