Wow didn’t even notice that, oh hang on that’s because I got them from “channel BT”
Once Nine decided to remove it I have been happily downloading and watching,
Who cares about Channel 9.

Channel 9′s always bad with sci-fi. Like they used to edit out bits of star trek episodes for no reason. Well i suspect the reason was to make them shorter to catch up on the running late programming they always tend to be.

i’ve just been going through the advanced guides and it has “in which we meet mr jones” listed for the 15th of december, which would be 9 just switching around 7 and 8, but you say they are showing episode 9 on the 15th david… does this mean they made an amendment to the advanced guide in which they decided to skip episode 7 and show 9 instead?

With the US airings, i think it has more to do with which episodes are finished first, as editing can take some time. This obviously wouldn’t happen with serial shows, but with cartoons and such, it wouldn’t matter too much. But international stations should obviously air them in the order the US does. Does anyone remember the confusion of when 7 aired my name is earl severely out of order? They made references to episodes that hadn’t aired here yet. FYI, Fringe was aired in its production order overseas.

Makes me glad i gave up on fringe on ch9 anyway, they just will not learn, they screwed fringe before, and they are screwing it again, looking forward to watching ep 10 in the next few days.

This may be the way it’s sometimes done in the US but it doesn’t explain why? What could possibly be the point of producing an series of episodes in a certain order, and then airing them in a different order?

US networks often switch the order of episodes too!
THere are many reasons this happened.
The order in which a US studio produces the epispdes and numbers them is not always the way US networks air them.
Perhaps Nine is mirroring how Fox aired them?
Perhaps there is a reason Nine is doing this.
As I said – it happens in the US too

I too cannot believe that they are jumping a show. Episode 7 is important in an arc that starts from this one. I know someone already mentioned that, but wanted to show how important it is to miss episode 7 further down the track. Of all the upcoming eps, they had to miss this one.

Obviously nine doesn’t care. That’s their track record though, so I am not surprised.

This show is slowly growing on me and ep 10, which they just showed in the states is suppose to be the best yet. So, it continues to get better and better.

This is crazy. Why would they do this? I hope they put it back in the correct order!

On the topic of continuity, but not of Fringe:

Tonight’s first non-ratings season episode of House on ten was a repeat, not surprisingly, but they started off the repeats with a “part 2″. And it was part 2 of an episode I watched part 1 of on Foxtel on Sunday night. Very weird.

9 is unbelievable!!! What about story continuity?? Episodes have a sequence for a reason.

ep 7 was a good one, all have been good so far IMO!

Maybe just record them and hold off watching them until they get around to showing #7. If you can be bovvered.
