Hi Raholt.
While hanging out at Bette's today, she mentioned that her watching of the DVDs caught up to that scene this morning and thought it seemed odd to her as well. So she offered to show it to me, and since getting me to watch DS with a good friend requires MUCH arm twisting
, we watched the DVD version of that scene followed by the same one on VHS. And our verdict is that you are exactly right...
To repeat what you said, on the DVD we see Vicki leave Liz behind in the drawing room, and immediately after that she's at the door facing the camera and lets out a scream. In the video, we see her leave Liz, then there's a brief black screen followed by Vicki approaching the front door, we see her open it (with the camera still behind her) and can see Harry standing there, and
then it cuts to the part on the DVD that has Vicki facing the camera and screaming. So apparently, in editing out the period in which the screen is black, the editor removed some of the action as well. Good catch!
OT - BTW, since you're one of the original posters from the old SciFi BBs, I thought I'd let you know that I received an email today from another SF poster that I don't think any of us had heard from in ages. Do you remember Ashenrider/PadreJim?
