Priscellie, do you have any verifiable sources for the production codes? I've been adding them to the Wikipedia listing for the show but they get continually removed by other editors due to not having a valid source (and urls to web forums are apparently unfit.)

The numbers for the first five episodes in production order (Storm Front through Hair of the Dog) come from a press release from SciFi and NBC.  Unfortunately, I can't furnish you with a link.

By having that extra time, you can get your heavy hitting in, and still have time to explain everything. But with out having seen that origianl 2 hour pilot, we don't know how good a job they did doing that.

Well, it's just my assumption but... given that they're going to the extra lengths to cut it down to a single hour, I'd guess it had more problems than just recasting...

Quite a lot of extra effort is required because Bob has changed from the face-in-the-fire concept to the walking-around-ghost, so they've had to reshoot those scenes.

Or to take your question in a different sense, the fact that they are going to these extra lengths to fit the "original two-hour pilot" into the new one-hour format would indicate that that original episode was worth saving, which bodes well ;)

Yes, very true but I'm not sure how that would have an effect on the editing of length, unless of course they opted to excise some of Bob's scenes rather than reshoot them all.

My mention of problems was actually in direct reference to the pacing of the original. I just got the impression that the original might have been a bit 'slow' in the pacing department which is why they finally opted to cut it down rather than saving it all for a later 'super-sized' showing. I would indeed hope it was worth saving (and I have no reason to think otherwise as I've enjoyed every episode I've seen so far) but I just hope they don't have to cut out too much of the main plot or we may end up with something a bit clunky. I know a couple of the normal 43 minute episodes have had a few scenes removed that could have helped with the finer details here and there, it must be really tough to cut 50% of an episode and make it work.

Update on this, the episode as released through iTunes confirms that RoE is, indeed, #102. The editor at the SFC site just wasn't on the ball, I guess.  ;D

ALSO: Bad Blood has a Production ID of 107, not 106, according to the same source.

AND Robert said we were going to get the two hour Storm Front at some point.
