Terribly sorry about the fast speed. It played at regular speed on my computer. I blame Photoshop for both that and the large filesize.
Well, when making an animated gif always takes time figuring things out. There are a two things I've noticed looking at the image file. One is that you have twice as many frames as necessary. The loop is only 11 frames, but you have 22 frames, which of course increases the file size for each frame. The second thing is the lack of use layers in photoshop for static portions of the image (if you look carefully you'll see faint shifts in pixel colors in the table, floor, and door). If you use one frame as the "background" for the static material and remove it from the other frames it'll cut down on the size of the file.

After extracting the frames from the episode and checking it with the gif, two further things appeared with the gif. The first is the reason the gif is fast is become the timing is off. The video is 23.976 frames per second (0.041708 seconds per frame), each frame in the image has a timing of 0.05 seconds, but since you've cut down the image only to the bare frames you have to take into consideration that in the video frames have been repeated. For example the very first frame in the gif is 3 frames in the original video, so the timing for the first frame should be 3x 0.041708 = 0.125124 or 0.12/0.13 seconds. The second thing is that the animation is actually reversed from the original. Did you use the Load Files into Stack script and then Make Frames from Layers? As that normally results in the frames being reversed, requiring the additional step of having to select Reverse Frames to correct it (this is assuming of course you didn't reverse it on purpose).
No, the reverse order was a mistake on my part. In my previous attempt to make the gif i ended up with a 11Mb file that still looked like this. So I started from scratch, cut down on the frames, set timer to 0.05, because that's what ran well in photoshop, ACD See and Firefox, forgot that it was originally clockwise, added some lossy to trim down the filesize and it looked ok ... till i uploaded the gif. I didn't think of using a layer for static portions of the image, that's a neat idea. I mean the 1080p videos of the episode out right now don't look very good but a little editing goes a long way.
