You suck. I don't feel strongly about this now, but I did when I first bought the DVDs, and spent ages looking for Into The Fire pt 1, Exodus pt 2, etc. It's redundant and confusing, giving them both a number and a different title. Give them subtitles, if you must, but please, for the sake of clarity, don't write it as "Jolinar's Memories pt 1" and "The Devil You Know pt 2".
Yours confusedly,
Pepper.

As I wrote that, it reminded me of a colleague I had once, who couldn't grasp the system for numbering packages. I was working on Reception at the time, jobsharing, and we had to send out 15 separate parcels to one destination. I explained that we needed to write "1/15", "2/15", "3/15", etc, on them, so the postman would know, if he had one parcel, that he needed to look for the others. She, however, argued that it should be written "1/1", "2/2", "3/3"...
No amount of explaining would get her to understand the amount of confusion that would have caused. *g*

...Wow. That actually sounds kinda scary.
More than once on dvds or producer comments, they're scandalized if they just come up with a title like Evolution Part 1 and Evolution Part 2. Because that's just not "done" on Stargate.
*headdesk*
I had a colleague like that once too.
As for titles of eppys-- yes! And all the titles I am hearing about for episodes of SGU are all one word. Like "Wind" or "Air." That seems even weirder to me for some reason....
Huh. Those just sound... wrong, for some reason. Stargate has such issues with titling. :)
On the surface a good idea, but when you get right down to it... *shakes head sadly*
The super-meta episode before the season finale can be called "Nouns."
That was a terrible joke, but I couldn't stop myself.
I feel bad now. But it is too funny :p
How do people like that survive? *dies laughing*
