[edit] episode title: “Jessie’s Girl” or “Jesse’s Girl”?

Episode titles in D:TNG appear onscreen during the opening credits. The title appearing onscreen in episode 0708 is “Jessie’s Girl”. The spelling ‘Jessie’ in the episode title is different from the spelling of the character Jesse Stefanovic. Rather, the episode title uses the same spelling as the Rick Springfield single “Jessie's Girl”. The CTV web site is incorrect when it refers to the episode as “Jesse’s Girl”. CTV does not name the episodes, the show’s producers do. In any event, the episode itself is a reliable source for its own title, more so than the network’s promotional materials. (In Canada the episode can be watched online here.) Also it is worth noting that The-N refers to the episode as “Jessie’s Girl”. [1] [2]. --Mathew5000 (talk) 04:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I had it listed as "Jessie". User:Robinepowell said it was without the i, and it made sense. You are right though, it is with an i. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 05:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Haha, I was just about to add a reference to the CTV.ca website to prove that it was "Jesse" (no "i") until I saw this Talk page bit. Good thing I read before I changed it! Angel caboodle (talk) 01:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Correct" order of 717 and 718

Regarding this edit, I believe we need some kind of reliable source before stating that The N aired these episodes out of order while CTV's ordering is correct. I know it might seem obvious that 717 should be aired before 718, but remember that the production numbers are the order in which the episodes are filmed. It is not at all uncommon for TV shows to shoot episodes out of order, deliberately, for various reasons such as availability of guest stars. Just because 717 was shot first does not mean the producers intended it to be watched first. --Mathew5000 (talk) 17:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

This point is discussed in the article production code number (albeit without references). It gives the example of The X-Files as a show where the "correct" order was the order in which the episodes aired, not the order of production numbers. You can also look at season 4 of Friends for a similar example. Hence I made this edit to make the article more neutral in the absence of a good reference as to what the producers' intended viewing order of the episodes is. --Mathew5000 (talk) 15:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] episode title: “Don't Stop Believing”

The title as it appears onscreen includes the ‘g’ in ‘believing’ [3]. --Mathew5000 (talk) 20:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Also the production code is 723 (displayed as the last three digits of the ISAN during the end credits). It looks like they may have altered this episode at the last minute because Steve Belford's name appears in the credits while he does not appear, and the name of Von Flores does not appear in the credits while he does appear (playing Mr. Santos). --Mathew5000 (talk) 20:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, CTV had put half of the following episode online. I assume the episode was broadcast correctly. Thus I reverted the production numbers in the table.--Mathew5000 (talk) 07:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
