Dear people who name Stargate eps,

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*
