I propose removal of the "episode guide" in the interest of saving space, and continuity-if you look at the pages for any other Real World seasons they have a "plot" section instead. Really, who is going to want to know what happens in each episode rather than what happens over the entire season? Could someone else give their input? Sensation002 2 July 2005 21:07 (UTC)

My feelings on the episodes is mixed. I DON'T think "no one is going to want to know what each episode is about..." is a valid reason for removing the episode guide. However, I DO feel that they are a bit POV-ish, and could be edited for a more proper tone. But just because other seasons only have a plot outline for the whole season doesn't preclude this one from going ep-by-ep -- it just means someone is actually taking the time to document each episode. However, as I said, I think they're beginning to wander out of the realm of the encyclopedic and into the realm of a review. --Wolf530 July 2, 2005 23:49 (UTC)

We might as well keep an episode-by-episode guide until the end of the season, by which time we'll be able to look over all of the individual plot summaries and write a shorter, more-like-the-other-entries summary for the entire season. They could be a little shorter, though, for right now... it's a lot of information to wade through, and the excruciating detail does seem a bit unencyclopedic, and more like a Real World fan site.

Well it seems that the episode guide writer has stopped at Episode 4. Should we remove the "episode guide" or wait for it to be finished? I think the episode guide is fun to read, but I don't know if it belongs in an encyclopedia. Courtkittie 02:27, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

I think they could be trimmed down some, but not deleted entirely. If someone is willing to write a small summary for each ep then the section should stay. Of course it would look silly if we just stopped at episode 4. While I freely admit to being a RW addict, I'm not going to write episode-by-episode summaries. Rhobite 04:53, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Rachel wasn't a medic because she couldnt find the money for college. She was an army nurse. Throughout the show she talked about being a nurse and nursing school. Can whoever wrote that fix that?

I served with her during her stay in the military. She held the title of 91W10M6 She was a medic with a nurse Identifier. Since the Identifier was harder to get, she always refered to herself as a nurse. True nurses are officers. She was the lone medical representative in her company. What was written is partialy right.
