SilverWook said: It would be nice to have the original if only to compare the differences, much like Star Trek fans have the unaired "The Cage" pilot, and the version incorporated into "The Menagerie" two part episode.
That's how I see it too. I'll have to track down the flipper DVD with The Gathering in 4:3. It's been a while since I watched it, but I think my version is 16:9.
