Yes, thanks. That would be great. I would be curious to know what the Imprint set looks like.

Could be a possibility. I wonder whether or not those same 7 minutes are in SD on the Imprint set? That would tell the tale.

CHEERS!

If that indeed is, then that would be a different story, but if they were just carelessly discarded and replaced with SD, then we'd have some issues.

Maybe it’s just my copy and it’s defective. After all, this set has been out for over a month already and I seemed to have been the only one who noticed it.

I can't imagine what kind of defect could cause HD to SD shift, though? That said, have you tried replaying the episode on a different player or device?

I hope you get a definitive answer, soon!

CHEERS!

Endora strikes again! What did you do to piss her off?

I just looked at "Mary the Good Fairy" (Part 1) on Hulu, and I don't think that section is in SD, but is just sourced from a later generation lab element, maybe 16mm. I recall that on the original Sony DVD set, the whole episode looked like that. I suspect the end of the episode must have some damage or other issue that was too hard to overcome on the negative, so they opted to use this poorer source for those scenes.

Kind of like "Sins of the Father" on the TNG: The Next Level Blu demo disc, where 13 seconds of it could not be located, and SD had to be used for that?

It might be that the negatives for some scenes are missing. The online versions for this episode alternate between HD and SD. This clip shows it quite well from about 2.41

You can’t see the video behind it. Oh dear.
