[edit] Picture

This article needs a picture - there's promo material at the official site, but I don't know how one goes about getting that cleared under the GFDL. Other TV shows have what looks like proprietary images - Lost has a promo poster. The official sitehas wallpaper it invites you to download - does that mean free use? A cut-down version of this onewould be nice. --Tirana 04:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that qualifies as a promotional poster, so I've added it to the article. We're supposed to use low quality images, but their web site doesn't offer a smaller version, so I've uploaded it as is and explained my justification.- gadfium 04:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music

Where were The Black Seeds used? They certainly haven't been in Series 2 at all. PhilZombie 04:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Loretta's birthday party - I forget which song, maybe "Fire". --Tirana 02:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that's not correct. All the music from the party was heavy rock, mostly by Joel Haines the show's composer. PhilZombie 06:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. I know I heard it somewhere though. A party scene with Van, and you can hear it through the walls. Maybe I'm getting the two seasons muddled. --Tirana 04:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hah, "Sometimes Enough" was used on Season 3, Episode 1, as Munter wanders round with the sandwich board. So the above issue is academic. --23:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 2 summary.

This section could do with some improvement, but most of all it needs a clear reference point (timewise). Saying Aurora is 'now' with the gangs is implying time is as it was up to Episode 6. It would probably be best to use end of season as the reference point, so all information should be past tense ie. Aurora was with the Horseman until Van rescued her. PhilZombie 04:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I have begun to update season Two, adding storyline details like Wolf going on the run and Loretta sleeping with Hayden and Pascalle's relationship with Bruce etc etc. But it is late so it is far from complete. I'll rewrite everything into the proper tense tomorrow. Dippit 13:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Since these season summaries contain major spoilers, and the program is now being sold overseas (I think an Australian TV station is currently showing series 1), do we want to move the summaries to Outrageous Fortune, Season 1 and Outrageous Fortune, Season 2? That would allow people to look up the cast list and basic details without seeing plot details.-gadfium 19:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps some more visible spoiler warnings? I agree that season 2 has some plot twists that should be kept out of the way of casual readers. Not sure if each warrants its own page yet, though. What does Lost do?--Tirana 20:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Lost has a one paragaraph summary of each season on its main page and seperate articles detailing the seasons in more depth (not to mention summaries for every episode). Perhaps what we have now is enough but when they page starts getting too big (more than 30kb) then we can have seperate pages for each season. Dippit 13:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I see the official website has changed its episodes section, so that it's all one big season (up to The Job), and there are no spoilers for the Australian audience. --Tirana 02:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 4

The comment that the fourth season has completed filming in March 2008 is not correct (and may be based on misinterpretation of an interview with Robyn Malcom where she states filming of the fourth episode - not fourth season - has been completed). Filming is still ongoing, and casting calls for extras continue as of end March 2008.

Penguincentral (talk) 09:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)I'm guessing Series 4 will premiere come June/July 08. Can't remember the source though :/Penguincentral (talk) 09:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
