As I understand it, this situation only applies to The Gathering because of the
need to split it into two parts. It shouldn't be a problem in later episodes.

And they basically cropped the regular version to create a faux widescreen for
this broadcast of The Gathering, but on balance I think it was probably better
and easier to do it this way than to show the regular aspect ratio after they'd
been advertising the wide all this time and have to explain that it only
applied to this one, single movie.
