I'm thankful for the fact that I still have my DVD's for season 3, they can't take those away from me...but if they remove the episode from syndication/forthcoming home media/etc.? Devastating.
I have always hoped for a complete bluray (or 4k) set in the future and it sounds like it'll be missing a classic episode.
I'm afraid I just don't understand the sudden urge to censor and wipe out MJ's existence. The allegations have been public knowledge for decades, he spent much of his final years dodging the media circus and fighting to prove his innocence. It's not a secret, it never was...suddenly everyone is shocked and outraged?
I suppose it's "karma" given the sudden change in opinion following his death. I recall he was ridiculed and despised by some for years leading up to his death... only for those same people to call him a hero and beloved icon after his death. It struck me as massively hypocritical to condemn him while he lived and sing his praises after he died. My opinion was that he was likely guilty, and my judgement didn't change after his death. That being said; erasing him from history is just a witch hunt at this stage and censorship.
