shipperxGood grief, what does BBC America do to these episodes?
I don't have the original episodes on my computer any more, but it constantly feels as though they've time condensed and cut out beginnings and endings of scenes to make room for more commercials. Their cutting out the cursing also plays havoc on the effect of George's wolf-suppression tourettes. Worst of all, I could swear that there are things that were cut out entirely. I remember the bathroom scene being powerful (and more brutal) and the way BBCA has sliced, bleeped, and pixelated it simply made the scene fast. I also think they've taken out the talkie stuff (wish I still had the originals to compare. I feel like it was missing a Mitchell/Ivan scene and a partial Lucy scene. Are the episodes still on YouTube? ETA: I checked YouTube, the episodes have been removed.) The talkie stuff is important! BBCA doesn't leave room for the episode to breathe.
*sigh* I may stop recording the eps on DVR. If I want to rewatch, I think I'm going to need the DVDs.
