Is the episode order right on iTunes (or Sci Fi) or is there another list somewhere for proper order?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So, "City of the Edge of Forever" anyone?
I knew I could count on DX.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Um, isn't Eureka available thru iTunes, or am I tapping into Carter's AU memories?
Yay!! Thanks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I read this and thought "Sam? Why Sam? Well, which AU? I mean..." and just barely caught myself in time to avoid enumerating the Sam Carters.

Kathy, feel free to tag!
I really need to rewatch that episode. I thought Jo and Taggert were out in the field getting nekkid when Jack, Henry and Nathan were discussing the alternate timelines and how to fix it. That's what I get for trying to catch up in other threads while watching teevee.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hey, I saw it the first time it ever aired. I'm just hoping Harlan Ellison doesn't send me a C&D letter for mentioning the title.

Thanks, Sail!
I'm hoping that the all-day marathon did something for the finale's ratings, since they were sure promoting it enough throughout the day! It seemed like 25 percent of the ad time was devoted to Eureka finale, Doctor Who, and BSG promos.

iTunes lists them in air order. The episode order can be determined from the episode numbers on the official site. Rearrange them in numerical order and you'll get the original intended arc.

Wow, thats a little confusing. So the order would be:
101 Pilot
102 Many Happy Returns
103 Blink (aired 7th)
104 Alienated
105 Doctor Nobel (aired 6th)
106 Before I forget (aired 2nd)
107 Right as Raynes (aired 8th)
108 Invincible (aired 5th)
109 Purple Haze (aired 10th)
110 Primal (aired 9th)
111 H.O.U.S.E Rules
112 Once in a lifetime
I wonder if there are there more or less minor continutity issues when viewed in this order (since they were likely edited to air in this order)

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who
Yep, that's it.
There are a few continuity issues that pop up due to editing. The podcasts talk about a number of them.
Overall I've found that watching them in episode order resolves the continuity issues with Jo and Carter's working relationship and with Zoe adjusting to life in Eureka with her dad.
It does cause some funny twitches though in the the Nathan/Allison/Jack triangle and in Henry's decision to leave. There was some extended dialogue between he and Jack that got cut about why he stuck around for the Lisa Mitner dance.
I think the best episode pairing that this fixes is "Invincible" and "Purple Haze". We go straight from Carlson's encounter with the artifact to Stark obsessing over it. It gives a lot more urgency to his need to know and accelerates us towards the climax of the finale.
I'd love to see a "director's cut" of the season on DVD. My second choice, if they can't do that, would be for it to be jam-packed with deleted scenes and alternate takes.
