Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, I was gonna Netflix Season 1 of Farscape. Netflix, however, maintains that episodes 1&7 are on 1 disc, followed by 2&4, 3&6, 5&8, 9&10, 11&13, etc.

This strikes me as really really odd. Does anyone know if they really released the DVDs formatted like that?

It's kind of a weird story, DebetEsse.

But yes, those numbers are (sort of) correct. Farscape episodes were produced in a different order from the order they were broadcast.

I forget which order the DVDs come in, but that's why you're getting the funky numbering. If Consuela pops in today, she'll be able to explain exactly what the deal is, and the order you should watch them.

And God is Greg Hillinger from Nikita.

The first time you told me this, I think I snorted a Dorito up my nose.

There didn't, by any happy chance, happen to be a video camera recording this as it happened?

Oh, and elsewhere somebody reports that the oldest son on Joan is played by John Ritter's son.

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

I despise the inherent arrogance of the "what would it have been like if you hadn't been here" homage to whatever movie, and it was quite annoying in Highlander EXCEPT -- Methos/Richie! Whoo!

Mrrowr.

It's a Wonderful Life. Once one of the most shown movies every Christmas until someone recopyrighted it.

And yes, every show is required by US law to mimic the storyline at least once in the show's run.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

And remember, this is the cliché that gave us Evil Willow. So I think we shouldn't be too quick to disdain.

Yes, but Joss and co twisted it and made it better. Jimmy Stewart did not get killed off ten minutes in.

I always thought it would have been potentially cool if they'd stretched out the The Wish to two or three episodes. Maybe have Cordelia being killed at the end of the first, Buffy showing up at the end of the second or some such. It would have been great to trick everyone into thinking this might be the show from then on. Although it might have made the reset at the end a bit cheesy, despite the amazing montage o' death.
