112, editing

How bizarre.
So I was just watching 112 as I was getting ready for bed -- keep in mind that I have probably seen this episode at least several dozen times -- and I suddenly noticed something that I'd never noticed before. It's amazing to me that that can still happen.

Approximately 31 min 30 sec into the episode is the brief scene that Em flashes back to wherein Michael, Ted, and Brian are at the diner and Michael's telling them that Cher had her pussy tightened. The whole freaking diner scene is shown in reverse! As a mirror image. The film must have been edited in flipped over, presumably by accident. The register and window are at the wrong end of the diner, Brian's wearing his bracelet on his 'left' wrist (it's otherwise always on the right), Ted's watch is on his 'right,' and the lettering on the sign on the back wall is clearly reversed.

Am I the only clueless soul who never noticed this before?

That is so odd. I do know one time I thought they'd put a wall of mirrors in the diner, because everything was backwards... I wonder if that was it? It must have been. But it never occurred to me they flipped the film, I assumed it was a continuity error or that some section of the diner had a mirrored wall, or that they tried it and it made filming impossible... not that I ever gave it HUGE amounts of thought... but I guess I can say I did notice.

Can you tell I read one of Ethan's fics tonight? I have ellipses disease. ;)

	That may well be the scene you'd noticed. As for ellipses... I don't have a problem with them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Is it bad that I iconized the scene and didn't even notice? whoops (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Lol! Nah. You were concentrating on other things. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maybe they meant to do it? Since it's a flashback and it's from inside Emmett's head or something? :P (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maybe. Except there've been plenty of other flashbacks that weren't reversed, including two others in the same scene (can't be sure about one of them, but the other is clearly in the right direction). And I would think if it'd been intentional, all of the flashbacks in that scene would've been flipped. Don't you? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Nope, you are not alone as I've never noticed it either. I'll have to go back and check it out. (Reply to this)
