>>721086Watching a cut-down version of the series simply for the extra resolution of HD is akin to watching movies in pan-and-scan instead of letterboxed widescreen on your 4:3 TV because you think it gives you bigger resolution.
Which is to say, don't do it. The subject material wasn't designed for HD, and you're not going to miss anything because of the lower resolution. But you will definitely miss something if you watch an incomplete version.
HD is simply an extra for those who have already seen it before.
