Talk:Eureka (2006)/Season One

Why are we seperating the pilot? I think it's silly to do this. How can you write two different plot outlines for what is the same episode. It won't make any sense. --MateoP 20:53, 18 July 2006 (EDT)

It's exactly the same issue already discussed on Talk:Psych/Season One. If you feel strongly about it, change it into a single Eureka (2006)/Pilot episode. And of course it is fairly common for these long pilot episodes to have a noticeable break in the plot around halftime. A compromise would be to have only a single Pilot article but keep Pilot (1) and Pilot (2) redirects in the episode listing. Shrug. —Naddy 08:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

As the situation has apparently been resolved in re: Psych, I'm just going to go ahead and follow that formatting here. -- JCaesar^talk 06:51, 13 October 2006 (EDT)

Strange episode ordering

The episode that aired this week was Before I Forget. We have it listed as 107, even though it is only the 4th (or 3rd, depending on how you view the pilot) episode that has aired. yet, it's not a simple mistake on our part, SciFi lists it as 106 (which is the same as us, if we had numbered the 2 hour pilot as 101 instead of 101 and 102) and next weeks as 104. So do we keep the episode numbered this way and just change the dates? Or what? --MateoP 15:19, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

I think what MateoP was asking is this, which isn't a half-bad question: Seinfeld and Homicide: Life on the Street aired the episodes of the shows out of order. Do we number the shows by how they aired, or how they were intended to air? The simplest solution, it seems to me, is to list them in the order in which they appear on any complete DVD collections which may be released, whenever possible. When that's not, we use the order in which they aired, because 90% of the time, we have no way of knowing if a show was aired out of order in relation to how the producers and writers intended. -- JCaesar^talk 06:51, 13 October 2006 (EDT)
