Talk:24: Redemption

Extended Version (on DVD)

The DVD has an extended version. I think we should include it all in the Episode Guide, as those aren't technically deleted scenes. Blue Rook  talk  contribs 23:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I have written the Episode Guide using the Extended Version. The only differences are: a few extra scenes (they don't contradict anything in the TV version), accordingly altered timestamps, Matobo is called "President" in the Extended Credits, and the actor credited for playing "Kabile" in the co-star credits for the TV version is credited for "Kabila" in the Extended credits (minor spelling difference; I still haven't been able to identify this character either way).

Tense

I thought we present tense the episode guides, and past tense the rest, unless a new policy was included during my absense. -- Matthew R Dunn 18:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

From the Manual of Style: "All in-universe (IU) articles are to be written in the past tense, from the perspective of someone documenting factual events from the future." --SignorSimon _{(talk/contribs/email)} 18:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Matthew is right, the episode guides are OOU; they're all in present tense. It's the character, location, and weapons pages (and the like) that are IU. The list of OOU stuff is here. Simon let me know and I can run through and fix it for you if you'd like. Blue Rook  talk  contribs 23:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Timeline

Just a heads up. I added 42 months into the line. S6 took place 6 months after the election of Palmer. Or, 6 weeks. If six weeks, PLEASE correct it? VP Daniels takes over, and runs for presidency again. He fails, and Allison Taylor is president. Daniels couldn't have run for president, been elected, and tried to run again and lost, because of the Ten Years clause of the Constitution. Thus, 3.5 years (42 months).

Season 6 was about 3 months after Palmer took office not 6, In one episode Palmer says "Not 3 months ago I took an oath....." and it was the bombing that had been going on for 6 weeks. 42 months would be wrong, it's more like 45 months. 77.96.215.117 03:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

: Can the person who changed the article BACK to 42 months please actually cite where it says that, because unless it's explicitly stated anywhere, 42 months doesn't add up given all previous info. 194.176.105.35 13:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

That sounds like true, real world stuff. But it's not our job to extrapolate real world facts onto the fictional show. Things need to be explicitly mentioned on the show, otherwise we don't include it. If you find a mention of this in the show, let us know. Otherwise, someone may come along and justifiably remove it. It won't be me, though, since I think there might be a way to verify this yet. Blue Rook  talk  contribs 04:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Move to Redemption

We don't include the "24:" on anything else. --Pyramidhead 07:27, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

What?? I count 85 articles with "24:" in the title. Just go to Special:AllPages/100th_Episode_Reel and scroll down to "24:" (or use your browser's text search for it). We include 24: because that's it's full title. Blue Rook  talk  contribs 07:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm going off the pages for the comics and books. Their titles are "24: What Have You," but we don't refer to them as such. --Pyramidhead 08:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, guess I misremembered. I assumed we do it that way from the first appeared, last appeared entries where we don't use the prefix. --Pyramidhead 08:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
