Talk:Earth 2 (TV series)

message: After NBC dropped the show, UPN expressed some interest in picking it up. A promotional video was quickly put together to show UPN executives (you used to be able to see it at an Earth 2 website). However, changes that had been instituted by new showrunners that NBC had brought in turned UPN off of the series. I cannot find much information about this aside from Usenet and Earth2TV.com so I am not sure what to say about it. But I think the page needs a paragraph about how close we came to Season Two. 209.51.77.64 02:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: "After the Thaw" aired April 2th and "The Boy Who Would be Terrian King" aired April 23rd. Now Thaw takes place 109 days after the crash and Terrian King takes place 104 days after the crash. Is this another case of the network screwing around with the series and showing them out of order, or did the show's writers decide to make Terrian King take place out of sequence?

message: I'm generally against linkspam but this website seems OK, due to the nature of the show not being massively popular it's unlikely Wikipedia will definitively cover the show -- so the information contained on that website is valuable to our readers. Matthew 19:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm having trouble finding a reliable source to mention this, but many state that they brought in new people to take over the series, and released a promo for season 2 and all of its changes, found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VGW8P06dKc and other places, and that seeing the changes NBC decided they didn't want the new season.

message: Single-season television series do generally not have standalone "List of [...] episodes" articles (basically, as per WP:TVOVERVIEW – for example, see this earlier merge proposal). As such, the episodes list at List of Earth 2 episodes should be merged back to this article. If no opposition is offered, I'll preform a merge of this list of episodes back to the main TV series article in the future. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not what it says.  Look at the part beneath it at the image showing how the "overview table" should look, showing season information like that.  It has nothing to do with listing the episodes for each season.  Oppose eliminating a perfect valid article to shove it into this article.  It'd be too long together, best to have them separate.  Dream Focus 21:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:   It's common WP:TV practice to not have list of episode articles for one-season TV series (at least, not for those with less than 20–30 episodes) – if you don't believe me, ask over in WT:TV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:   Support merging the two articles together. A seperate List of Episodes article is unnecessary considering the first and only season of the show has only 22 episodes. There wasn't even an explanation as to why it was made in the first place.  Merging the two articles would not make the main article too long. At most the two articles merged together would only be 35 Kilobytes and that's before the redundant content gets removed. 74thClarkBarHG (talk) 04:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

message: It is generally not necessary for 'Cast' and 'Characters' to be in separate sections, and it certainly isn't necessary at this article. Please feel free to post comments on this proposal, but if there are no dissenting followup comments posted here, I will go ahead and merge those sections in the near future... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:09, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging 'Cast' and 'Characters' sections 

message: I have combined the two entries for "First Contact" in the episodes table – it aired as a 2-hour movie, has a single production code, and single entries in both the U.S.C.O. and WGAW databases. In other words, it's a single episode, according to everyone but Epguides. 
I have continued to count it as episodes # "1–2" in the episodes table, for now. But a good case can be made that "First Contact" should be counted as just episode # "1", and the other episodes renumbered to reflect that there are 21 episodes for the series rather than 22. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:06, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
