Hi all,

It strikes me as a bit odd that Cronus, as related in "The Sky is Falling Part II" had to leave Mark (and presumably Mark's mother) when he took on his undercover mission on Riga because he "worried that his family might be harmed." But then, later, he has a new family anyway -the wife and Timmy mentioned in "Peaks of Planet Odin"! |

Definitely strange since things don't appear to have gotten better since Mark's time as a youngster. So... how many years before Chief Anderson opens his lab doors to find Timmy's been dropped off there?

I think with Cronus, we can safely say, unless we actually see his dead body (which we know in BotP is not likely to happen), we can assume that most death reports are false. Some may be put out by Spectra to disrupt the Federation, possibly Mark or Anderson in particular, and some may be done by Cronus or Anderson to allow a Cronus a cover. |

Sure, there is so much misinformation surrounding the character, we probably shouldn't believe much about him that we don't see ourselves. I was glad to see you mention false reports, since it's something I've considered too. I felt the claim about Gartz for instance could have simply been a lie, and Cronus (assuming that is who everyone is talking about) purposely never contacted anyone to tell them differently. Not that there's anything to base that on, just one way to try to make sense of the whole living/dead back and forth within the series. I agree with you too, LB, it's part of the fun to speculate!

Why do I believe we should use the Sandy Frank list for BotP? Because that's what it was designed for. 

But - if you use the Sandy Frank order for BotP it does actually make some sense. |

Sure, it helps a bit. As CD referenced, the series was shown in so many different orders everywhere, I don't know that the list had much relevance for those airing it early on. But now it can at least give a little direction.
One thing it does is to give a close idea of what the actual production order probably was. So many things line up when you look at the series with this list. Behind the scenes, the choice of preview/trailer, different opening theme and title card versions are mostly together in chunks. On screen, the 7-Zark-7 sequences also have more continuity.
None of it works perfectly by any means, but certain things seem to line up better.
More soon!
