| | Posted: | | | | Due to the large number of new suggestions and the inability to modify a poll I'm relaunching.
How should episode dividers be named?
The example in this poll is for Epsiode 3 of Adam Adamant Lives! called "More Deadly Than the Sword"
(I've used a ':' separator in all cases for consistency and because it's part of the normal Rules as a standard separator already) | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | I think we also have to account for cases where the episode title is already specific, for instance for Band of Brothers, the opening credits explicitly say "Part 1: Currahee", "Part 2: Day of Days" and so on, in which case the episode dividers should read accordingly. |

| | Posted: | | | | From the choices available in this poll I would go with
03: More Deadly Than the Sword.
However, I didn't vote, because I would much prefer the widely used 9x99 notation that includes the season number. Yes, even if the box includes only one season. | | | | Matthias |

| | Posted: | | | | For the first one I played with I tried Episode 3 - Deadlier Than the Sword, which aesthetically looked pretty good, but I don't care.

| | Posted: | | | | If it's between '3.' and '3 - ' I don't care. Don't like '3: ' though. And I would like the leading zero for so that it reads '03' | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I'll have to go for option three ("03: Title") - I have actually done so already, as I am in the process of auditing ST:TNG Season 1. I have used the descriptors from the DVD-menu as in
721: Encounter at Farpoint
103: The Naked Now
104: Code of Honor
- and so on - ofcourse using identical dividers in both cast and crew... | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

| | Posted: | | | | I think we should use what it says in the menu of the film (or if not available the cover). So Rander, I'm with you on this one. |

It just looks and sounds the best |

| | Posted: | | | | Another possibility would be
03) More Deadly Than the Sword
or like in episode guides a
1x03 - More Deadly Than the Sword
But the whole topic is very much about personal preference, so I don't have a problem with a different solution... | | | | Last edited: by SpaceFreakMicha |

| | Posted: | | | | I think the leading 0 should be dropped. There are no issues with sorting in the cast lists, so there's no point in having it there (unless the actual in-show credits show it that way; eg: "Layer 01: Weird" for Serial Experiments Lain).
I'm ambivalent about which of two forms I prefer:
Episode 3: More Deadly Than the Sword
3. More Deadly Than the Sword
If there's an 'Episode' prefix, I'd prefer the colon. If it's just the number, I think the period works better. I like the dash as a divider as well, but since it seems to have been deprecated for that use, I'll leave it out of consideration. Overall, I think I prefer including 'Episode' for general clarity, as well as better consistency with shows that specify the episode label. |
