the glitch doesn't actually cut off any of the episode. it
looks like about
5-10 frames got dropped, but the audio keeps running and the rest of the ep is
in sync. not a big deal at all.
if it is the same glitch that i saw, then it isn't just a case of a few missing
seconds of video, on top of that it looks like the top and bottom half of two
different scenes get scrambled putting one characters head on top of anothers.
definately not archive worthy material, i'd expect a re-re-release soon.
update: just watched the airing on my tivo. the glitch causes just four words
to be cut off, along with slight video corruption due to the missing bit.
in this version, mr. garrison says, "you've got your door...[glitch]...o"
in the original airing, he says, "you've got your door code. let us go"
there definitely was pretty bad glitch in this one. but it doesn't look like
anyone is going to proper it, so this is the only copy you can get until next
year when the dvds come out.
south park will return on wednesday october 8 for ep. 1208....."the china
problem"..........ya ya i
know it sucks a very long wait, but what can ya do. :~)
