Talk:There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3

Rename

Rename: the official name says Parts 2 & 3 --Hunter61 12:50, 12 May 2008 (PDT)

Object: This is just Part 2. It is two hours long, but is only part two. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peterricca (talk • contribs) 2008-05-13T13:19:55.

Also suggest rename to There's No Place Like Home, Part 2. Exodus, Part 2 was also "part 3" but this is not reflected in the title of the article. ShadowUltra 21:53, 15 May 2008 (PDT)

The episode was named by the ABC Medianet press release "Parts 2 & 3". However, the real question is whether we break the article into two pieces for those countries that will see the episodes separately. Input/comments/thoughts? Robert K S (talk) 22:05, 15 May 2008 (PDT)

What we normally do for countries who will see the episodes as two seperate entities, is create redirects from ...Part 2 and Part 3 to the original article. Exodus Part 2 was always called "Exodus Part 2", Part 3 is only used in those countries that split the double episodes into two seperate ones, and as such we have a redirect for Exodus Part 3, and its "phantom" episode number  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  01:45, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

Renaming to part two will also get rid of the design flaw where it takes a new line in the episode box at the top of the episode page due to it being bold. Peterricca 05:04, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

I agree, just because ABCMediaNet is inconsistent with what they call episodes doesn't mean we have to be. ShadowUltra 05:14, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

We stick with what the episode is named, not what we make up because we don't like something. There is absolutely no discussion to be had here.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  11:23, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

That's kind of harsh. Exodus had different episode titles depending on the region. This may end up being "part 2" on the US region DVD indicating ABCmedianet made an error. It's fine to make a call one way or another to resolve the situation. But certainly there's plenty of evidence that it's not a cut and dried issue. I say we keep "2&3" with a redirect from "2" as you suggest until we get new information (like DVD track list or abcmedia update) - but leave the attitude behind. --Jackdavinci 11:37, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

I completely agree with Plkrtn. I think you should keep it as it is: an only page titled TNPLH parts 2 & 3 (according to ABC Medianet). This, until the episode airs. After the episode has aired, I think you should see here and check how this episode(s) is (are) listed. By the way, isn't there a press release for Exodus, part 2? Looking there could be useful for this problem. Simone85 11:29, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

I think this would matter IF the 2 hour finale are in fact two episodes broken up into two 1-hour segments (complete with "Previously on Lost" and what have you) - Sort of how they do it when they air two hour "24" finales. If the episode is a full two hours, then it should be just "TNPLH, part 2" (and episode 13), but if broken up, it should be "parts 2 and 3" (and episodes 13-14). I vote we keep it as is until specifically shown otherwise. Just my opinion though. --JoeyBags1138 10:48, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
