Anya ,'Get It Done'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Is the episode order right on iTunes (or Sci Fi) or is there another list somewhere for proper order?
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)
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.
watching again, and *sigh* I just love the feeling I was left with, the soft hope.
Also, Salli really delivered on the emotion, the not wanting to fix the paradox, and Joe made me cry again when fighting with Carter, the building shakes, and he knows that Kim is dead and howls.
*heart breaks*
Thanks. Sometimes I'm spelling challenged. :P
An interesting article on BSG and religion.
It's interesting that religion would play heavily in the new BSG. I seem to recall something about elements of the original series being based on Mormon doctrine.
I meant it as less spellchecker, more educator. Cause Lise deserves better than she got.
Great entry. Thanks for linking. It's always fascinating to read about unsung heroes.
