Wow, that is very confusing.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

They don't group them into seasons, they group them into arcs.
That almost makes sense.
And sometimes, if they have room left over on the last disc, they'll toss in a completely unrelated non-arc episode, sometimes from a completely different season.
This doesn't.
I've stalled out at the "Dead Dog Records" storyline, because they haven't released those on DVD, even though the next arc has been released.
This makes the kind of sense that is non. Meh.

I still think Roger LoCocco should have had a spin-off. Oh, Roger.
Oh my god, seriously!

The arc thing totally makes sense! They're still consecutive episodes, they're just selling them in half-season sets. It's no different than the Galactica half-seasons sets, except more self-contained.
And the extra ep (that I've seen, anyway) is clearly marked as a bonus episode; they don't just throw it in like it's actually part of that season. DVDs of Magnum (shut up!) do the same thing -- throwing in an episode from a later season as a teaser. Which is how I was able to traumatize some friends by showing them the Sharon Stone 2-parter.
Down With the LoCoccoOo, let's start a rumor that Tim's new thing is the Roger LoCocco show.

Uh-huh. And if you're renting the DVDs and interested in watching the series in order, it's CRAZY. And "Prey for the City" is a stupid name.

But are those one-off eps also in the set for the season they belong in? I've only seen that one set, but I'm not getting why it's confusing.

It would be like putting everything from "Surprise/Innocence" through "Becoming" in a set, and then throwing in "Checkpoint."

Oo, let's start a rumor that Tim's new thing is the Roger LoCocco show.
I like this idea and wish to propagate its literature. Somebody go edit the Wikipedia entry for William Russ!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
