A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 2, 2004 I prefer the Production order. A better sense of internal continuity exists that way but that's not how they are ordered on the disks, they are in the original airing order :lol: so changing the disks more often is necessary. It's worth it but I wonder why they chose the non-chronological order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWho42 13 Posted September 3, 2004 I choose Order of Production. I remember another particularly well-enjoyed TV series of mine that lost a bit of its continuity when FOX showed the pilot episode last, and never aired three of the last episodes... :lol: Also, I guess, as Alter_ego has said, it gives a sense of better continuity...

gdog243 0 Posted September 3, 2004 I don't know what production order is, so I view them as they are on the disks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted September 3, 2004 Though the episodes are in the order of original airing the production order # is given on the disks beside the episodes. What we did is go through all the disks (started playing them till the menu was up) creating a 2 thru 28 list of the episodes and what disk they are found on. I'll post the list in a little while...

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 3, 2004 I prefer to see things like that in their historical context. In this instance what I mean by "historical context" is in the order I would have seen then if I had been around at that time to see them in their first run. I would even be very happy if they contained their original commercials. I would find that very enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 5 Posted September 3, 2004 In Original Viewing Order (as they are on the disks) I'd rather see them in the order they were originally shown on TV.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hangon 3 Posted September 3, 2004 I too am watching them in production Order,i dont mind having to get up and change the disks each time but it might have been a better idea to have them in production order on the disks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zagreus 0 Posted September 3, 2004 I agree with Va Beach Guy. For me the first episode is Man Trap and I always watch Trek in the broadcast order. It does annoy me somewhat that the pilot episode is therefore fourth but Classic Trek is mostly stand alone stories anyway which can be veiwed in any order.

fredbroca 0 Posted November 25, 2005 I watch them in air date order. The only reason that I do this is because I bought the nitpickers guide to classic trek and they list them in air date as well. Most of the time though I just watch the episode that I want to watch so most of the time thier is no order to what I watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
