They did some restorative work on the original DVDs for "A House Divided" but there's no question that JR's falling and freeze frame after he's shot is way, way darker than it originally aired in 1980 or looked for 25 years.It used to look as bright as the scene in the next episode when the screaming cleaning lady finds him.They did something similar, to much controversy, to the final scene in the bell tower in the restoration of VERTIGO a few years ago. Much darker than it used to be, such that the image is hard to decipher.Yes, I like darker too, to a point. But not this kind of "sweetening."</blockquote>
