... I was a No voter (as has been stated) and gave my reasons because of my interpretation... and also as I said, if the Screeners think I'm wrong to interpret that way (and agree with lots of you!) then it'll be passed, no harm done! FWIW my reasoning is: IMO they are not numbering episodes, per se, they are providing production codes Code 721 is a confusing code as it is what they've called 101 and 102 combined, so numbering this way detracts from the data. The Rule as written allows me some leeway in interpretation so I am not voting illegally. OTOH if this does get passed we can have fun going back to ST: ToS and applying the production codes there as that would actually be useful, being as they're on the disc in broadcast order and broadcast order was not the intended one! | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |

In this situation it might be fine, but what about other situations? Some Star Trek episodes are listed by Stardate, do we use that as a number? I've seen some TV series use original TX date as an identifier - is that acceptable in a simple list?  |

Why would anyone want to invent data that isn't there?
As to your question, normally this would not happen, but there have been rare instances where the numbering involved differs from that used on the Disc, that's why. For example a an Overview may be numbered 1, 2, 3 but the On screen data relative to the dividers uses Production Numbers or some other numbering scheme. It's not commonplace, but it does happen and if that's what the data is, that's what it is relative to the Online, you are of course free to do whatever you wish locally and your mileage may vary.
Skip Skip, If you would just take a reading comprehension course you could save yourself and the rest of us a lot of useless posts. I repeat...we are not talking about the numbering in the Overview from the back cover. Everyone knows that has to match exactly. We are talking about the numbering of the "Simple Episode List" which may be added in addition to the Overview from the back cover. | | | | Hal |

The Rule as written allows me some leeway in interpretation Take another look at the back plastic cover. What does it say in the column header above the Episode Numbers? It says "Ep#" not "Prod#" or anything else. "Ep#" to me means Episode Number. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | After reading this thread, I see the merits of both sides.
The rules don't exactly say what to do in this peculiar situation, so I guess any interpretation is as good as any other. | | | | -- Enry |

I don't think that would necessarily be true, unless they expressly declare it to be a precedent. Besides, even if they approve it, maybe they consider "correct", or at least acceptable, both forms. | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

Is that making any sense? I can't find the post now to verify this... but if my memory serves me I think this has been explained in the past meaning the screener that processed it sent it to be looked at (and decided about) by the next level of screener above them (Ken and/or Gerri?). | | | | Pete |
