It's a song that lists the episodes of TNG. Anyway, the first line is "Encounter at Farpoint parts 1 and part 2" I left a comment saying that it was actually not a two part episode, and that it was just broken up that way for syndication. Two people so far have argued this point with me and said that I was wrong.

I'm not am I? Or was I being an incorrect fool?

You are correct.

Thank you. I feel vindicated now. I noticed he did not make the same mistake with All Good Things, though, so that's good, I guess.

FWIW, the "EaF" version first sold for foreign broadcast was apparently the two-parter, with a different order of scenes to accommodate the split. I don't think that one (the two-parter) is being sold any more, but it's the one that originally aired around here in Finland.

Same with "Emissary" (the two-parter version had the nice scene where Picard says goodbye to O'Brien, for example), although not with "Caretaker" for which a two-part version probably never even existed...

The one-part "EaF" is clearly the superior cut, free of a number of pacing problems and illogicalities. But I always liked "Emissary" better as a two-parter.

It was shown as a 2 hr tv movie. Most episode lists count it as one episode.

I know someone who knows the the guy who wrote/performed that song!

I'm still going very nuts over on youtube. This guy is still insisting that EaF was 2 episodes. He also said the same thing about "Caretaker" and "Endgame"

I want to just let it go. It's really not worth my time. What should I care if he doesn't understand what I'm trying to tell him? Why should I keep leaving one reply comment after another?

Whatever the reason, I don't think I will be able to sleep well at night, until this person realizes that EaF is one episode. It is my new life mission.

The O'Brien/Picard scene is on the DVD, but it and a couple of others were cut for syndication in order to accomodate the extra credit sequences.

I loved that scene because it ended with the Enterprise sailing away while playing a combination of the main musical scores for both shows. I hated that it was cut.

Here we had it on sell thru video - as a telemovie length episode - and, when it aired on commercial TV a year later it was played in full after "The Making of a Saga", the documentary that included, within it, the TV premiere of "The Cage".
