But, yeah if the file mysteriously disappears you know none of this was real. Same goes for source #2 if he comes up with reasons he can't provide it after 8/1. Source 2 at least said he saved the file to multiple places, so he can't use that excuse, at least. Yes I pretty much mean any excuse from him, short of being hospitalized, tells me he's never had it and it doesn't exist.

Heck, speaking of popcorn….. we see Servo has popcorn in his head in that segment with him and Crow trying to simulate the feeling of drugs by wearing clothespins on their beaks….. that tells me this is probably another episode they were eating popcorn in a theater segment and that alone would be interesting to see.

I've set a reminder for myself for next Wednesday to email the Arkansas guy back to see if I can get a screencap, and to follow up with Gilchrist in case I get no response on Twitter.

Glad to see you took my screen cap idea into mind, at least with the gentleman in Arkansas…. Hopefully that won’t cause any self-foot shootings.

I've sent an email to the YouTube guy for a few screenshots (one from a host segment and one or two from a theater segment) so I can see how degraded the copy is and start planning on ways to edit the picture to improve it.
(But also to confirm it is what he says it is)
We'll see what he says.
When I get home tonight I'm going to compile everything I have on Twitter guy and email it to Gilchrist so he can do what he does.

He's occupied all week thru Friday, but "Will be happy to get you some screenshots this weekend to give you an idea of the resolution."

Well…… hopefully he manages to get back to you on the weekend while I spend it drowning my eyes and my mind with your awesome work digitizing my tapes.
More importantly though hopefully it doesn’t come off as a sudden K12/310/318 surprise.

So at this point I assume you’re done doing business with Alex after that really cheap cop-out response he gave awhile back? Only asking since you brought up Garrett.

Yeah, its not worth my efforts anymore. He COULD still be telling the truth, and just be horribly lazy, dumb and rude. Or he could have spent a lot of effort to waste one person's time and got bored of the game. Either way, its time for OTHER people to waste their mental energy on it. I'll give Gilchrist a few weeks head start, and if he can't get anywhere with it, I'll release it into the wild on Reddit. And if enough people spend their time and energy on it, we may eventually get the truth.

Completely fair and understandable..... At this point I really find it VERY strange how he somehow "has" the ONLY available known-existing copy of the episode when the episode only aired once on KTMA, so early at that, unless it was through a LOT of dumb coincidental luck that it just "happened" to "accidentally" be taped by his cousin's dad during Thanksgiving 1988, and the bigger red flag being the fact that he made it to look like it was an official master copy when the damn thing was under Jim's (completely careless) hands prior to donating everything MST to Shout and Joel.
So unless it was already "lost" prior to that stuff being handed over to Joel and Shout (who if I'm being honest, the latter was also VERY careless with the master tapes of the national episodes given how they were presented in 2015-2017), this guy really is starting to sound like an absolute fake if he takes the time to address to you "I'm sorry, the file is corrupted" the MINUTE you reply to a public tweet of his but doesn't bother getting back to you on your offer to fix it....... it REALLY is saying A LOT right there.
Again, hopefully the gentleman in Arkansas is more convincing but I'm still keeping my expectations EXTREMELY low..... cause again, for all we know..... this could be yet ANOTHER "Oops, this was K12/310/318" scenario..... and if it DOES end up being just that, I'm gonna smash my head through the wall. Cause again, it's f*cking 2024. This sh*t is public EVERYWHERE. You can easily look this stuff up.

Fair enough then.
Well HOPEFULLY it’s not an “Oops, this is K12 actually, sorry” scenario. Again, that episode is literally both on YouTube and Internet Archive.

Okay, looking back at his channel again……
I had forgotten he had every single KTMA on there BUT K12 (and the pilot but that has the unfortunate status of forever being “available” via someone who was kind enough to tape the 2008 showing even with the consequence of low camera quality and people clapping and laughing unless we’re EVER lucky to get a full master copy one day, not likely unfortunately)……. So that DOES give it the black egg vibe that it may POSSIBLY be K12 after all….. but even with THAT in mind, you’d think the Arkansas gentleman would have gone through the ENTIRE KTMA episode guide and saw for himself with that…..
I dunno, I’m just gonna try not to think about it too much and just keep my expectations VERY low……. I just REALLY hope this isn’t going to potentially be a Servo’s head exploding from frustration surprise but…… just gonna have to wait and see……

Side-note from K03: I did check our K04 randomly out of curiosity…… WOW! This is probably the FIRST TIME I’ve seen such a CLEAN copy of this episode! I remember prior to 2017 this one had VERY shoddy quality both in picture and sound. It’s not perfect, but man! I’d never expect to see this!
I may for myself substitute the audio with Kolos’s color-correcting attempt of the episode just because I do notice the picture looks a little jumpy at times, though I’m not sure if it’s the video source itself or the effects of AI.

I'm gonna jump out a funking window.
It's K12. Of course its K12.
*throws up hands*
I'm done.
