To my inexperienced ears it sounds like the film was getting a little stale. I am assuming you did not freeze the camera between uses ;-) ;-) to preserve the film. Possibly the stale chemicals at the local supermarket did it in as well. I have never heard of a supermarket with an E6 line. Did they really do it in one hour or did they send it out? Maybe they ran it through a C41 line!! ROTFLOL OK. I have settled down now. If you are going to do slides it is important to use fresh film, freeze film you are not planning on using for a while and process at a quality lab promptly after exposure.
