Going through the caps aholic pics again,.. I subjectively see more dynamic range and finer details on the German scan (perhaps because its darker w/ less 'boosted' resolution?). I hate that pink-green hue from the older master, but I think the gamma is jacked on the new master, they probably mistakenly set it to 0-255 when it should be 16-235 (X-files did the same mistake on S8 or S9?).
Every scene is re-framed between the two! In the scene between Lambert and Orser sitting outside, you can see the top of his coffee cup and watch on the US version, whereas most of the hand and the watch are cropped out on the German one. It's like this for every single scene.
It's frustrating because the overall bit-rate is something like 20 on the German, and 40 on the US. What a missed opportunity.
And why couldn't they just port the commentary over? And the 20 mins of deleted scenes?
Sorry VS if you're reading this. Thanks for the work you put in. 7.75/10 just going off these images. If you didn't boost the brightness would've been an 8.5/10. Commentary + deleted scenes = 9/10.
