Apparently it is a better bet to watch the repeat on Sunday mornings. I'm still fuming from the careless procedure of the operator that ran the Drama City tape Friday evening. At the top of the show, he/she ran the commercials once again during the initial 90 seconds of the show, erradicating the setup and the title of the show. Midway, another set of commercials resulted in another gap in continuity of the story.
Yahhhh, KBC!!!!!! Considering that there is already some of the story edited out for time, is it really necessary to trim scenes real time? It is apparent that the operator is not watching the show, or the person might be more sensitive about arbitrarily inserting commercials and continuing to let the show tape run for the duration. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, but I know enough to realize that this posting will not correct the situation.
I will try to catch the missing scenes and post them.
Sunday evening, 7:51PM
Well, the omitted scenes in the middle were more crucial to understanding the story than the beginning, but the beginning, turns out, was the only spot the title was shown.
So, basically the opening was a preview of the beating the protagonist takes from the loanshark later in the story and we also get to see more detailed footage of the murder scene; this is actually important knowledge for understanding the plot, so again, I'm glad I took the time to watch the repeat (which usually helps for a better understanding of nuance through body language usually missed by reading.....) but I'm really seriously bummed that the broadcast was botched in the first place.
Anyway, the protagonist also made some comment on existence, later credited to Goethe, I think it was something about the point of life is the "living of", instead of the consequences but I could have it backwards (I was distracted throughout much of the show on Sunday by the continually scrolling message about the President-elect's press conference.)
In the middle of the show we also missed the femme fatale fainting in the crosswalk in front of an oncoming vehicle. We do not see this in the original shot, but in the denouement, we see that she is really not unconscious as she's put into the car for the ride to the hospital. He spends time with her in the emergency room and then they are on a car ride in country somehow(). All in all, I wish that both airings were shown in their entirety, but oh well.....
