Hmm interesting point about the TB vs G'Kar thing. To me it just looked like the TB was softer and had less visible detail, but I could be wrong. It might be worth me cranking the contrast way up on both of them and seeing if there's any obvious lack of detail in one or the other. I have noticed a bit of image warping in the G'Kar, but I haven't checked if it's the same in the TB.
The other thing that led me more to the G'Kar were the stars in that frame on the Falcon. The stars in the G'Kar window are easily visible, but in the TB they're much less obvious. This could just be due to differences in the levels however.
Now about these missing frames, does any one know for sure which ones are missing from which broadcast? Has that sort of analysis ever been done by anybody before? Secondly, I have the SE laserdisc boxset as well. Does anyone know if those transfers have missing frames too or was that purely an issue with the digital broadcasts?
Oh and I'm not having any luck getting the laserdisc audio tracks, so if anybody has them handy and is willing to upload them somewhere that would be awesome. I asked Jetrell Fo if he could send me his copies but he said his internet's not up to the job at the moment (and I'd feel bad getting him to send a disk to Australia :P).
