thread_title: Final Episode Hoax

message: Mention of Tiamat in Baldur's Gate, appearance of Venger in a CD liner... I've removed these on the assumption that they're a bit off-topic for character descriptions.  Would it be more appropriate for there to be some kind of "Other Appearances" section, where the characters' various pop-culture appearances could be listed?   222.153.224.126 11:40, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering Tiamat is a D&D monster, and the basis for the character on the show, it seems irrelevant to mention other appearances.Bwanderson (talk) 22:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm completely baffled by the notation "Clockwise (from bottom L-R)".  Clockwise would progress from right to left across the bottom.  Can someone who recognizes these people please rewrite this as something more conventional, like row-wise?  Thanks!

perhaps the following will make it more clear to you:
1 Is the starting point
 + ----> +
 ^       |
 |       |
 |       V
 1 <---- +
does this help clear it up for you?
The way it was done on the original site in rows was even more confusing than this.

message: When they re-aired the show in 2002, every ad emphasized Presto and his magic abilities. It was never explicity stated but I'm almost certain that it was re-aired solely as an attempt to cash in on Harry Potter (I think another movie was coming out around then). I don't really know if that's worth including so I'll leave that to a smarter persons discretion RentACop 03:41, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Sure, but apparently all the fan sites linked from the page are wrong as well, since nobody seem to agree -- with each other, Wikipedia or tv.com -- on the order of the episodes. So, I got to wonder, where does the information listed on the page come from? Old VCR recordings in the home of one or more Wikipedia editors? --Maggu 10:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The Dungeons & Dragons game is famously an RPG; why does the article repeatedly refer to it as a "Pen & Paper" game?  Minaker 05:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Be..cause you use paper and pens to play, in addition to dice? Howa0082 21:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't matter; both the official term and the common-use term for this type of game is RPG, not "pen & paper."  Minaker 10:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This states "[t]he term is also used to distinguish role-playing games from role-playing video games, although role-playing games do not necessarily use either pencils or paper." The pen and paper moniker applies, as a way to differentiate it from Final Fantasy. Most people won't make that mistake anyway, but Wiki aims to be as clear as possible, right? Howa0082 13:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: It is a common usage to cal the P&P as well, which stand for Pencil and Paper.  The constitution of the RPG club I belong to even uses that convention to be clear.  Yes, RPG is common.  Yes, P&P is not as common.  But yes, both are used.TeigeRyan (talk) 04:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I've assessed this article for WP:TV as requested here. I have rated this article as start class because of the lack of important sections like critical response, production etc. and as mid importance because it is a controversial and fairly well known/influential television series. These categories are subjective and may be reviewed by any member of WP:TV who feels confident to do so. Please note that a more formal assessment by other editors is required to achieve good article or featured article status. I used criteria from the television wikiproject guidelines here, article about TV series guidelines here and the assessment guidelines here.--Opark 77 10:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This is completely unsourced, and is obviously based on first-hand comparison. This isn't an acceptable way to derive material on WP, and it should be re-written, referenced or removed.

replies: text: This is a good point, I feel now. I'm not sure if I had voiced an opinion to thumperward here before about it (I could swear I did), but now I think that section should go. I mean, obviously, a cartoon isn't going to be faithful to a friggin' tabletop RPG played with dice and character sheets. Having a "differences" section is kinda bullshit.

message: OK, got something here that bugs me. In Sheila's character profile it says:
"In the series' fandom, she and Hank are frequently hinted to have a relationship [4]. Her actual relationship with Hank is unclear; several times they appear to be dating, but Hank shows no negative reaction to her relationship with Solars and Kareena, which appear more than friendly. It is possible that he only sees her as a sister."
Further down in the Venger section it says:
"The main antagonist and Dungeon Master's son (as revealed in the episode "The Dragon's Graveyard" and again in the lost episode "Requiem") as well as Sheila's love interest Kareena's brother"
I'm deleting the fannish crap. A. It's irrelevant to the show and this article because B. it's all based on FAN speculation. How on earth does anyone think an early 80's cartoon FOR KIDS would have had a girl with a female "love interest"??? The show was already under enough fire from conservative groups for being based on D&D! They would *NEVER* have tried to put a gay character in the show.Bwanderson (talk) 22:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good eye. I'm surprised no one caught that nonsense before now. I am very disappointed in myself, me! I'm going to go stand in a corner and feel bad, now. Howa0082 (talk) 22:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't know, while I agree the section isn't necessary, I think the intent of the comment was "Sheila's love interest, the brother of Kareena" i.e. it's not Kareena that's the love interest, but her brother. As written it's ambiguous. ChrTh (talk) 02:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'd like to list the differences from the original broadcast version and the DVD version.
I know some music has been replaced. but does anyone know the reason why or who composed the original scores and the replacements?
Also I am told that the FOX version had some changes as well? A new opening sequence and edits to shorten the episodes? Can anyone conform these?
Lastly the article does not mention that the French version of the opening is done with a lyrics song.
