Does anyone know which 3 sets of cast and crew are correct for V:  The Final Battle?  It was a 3 part miniseries and each part was 2 hours.  However, the profile for the cast and crew is borken up into 5 episodes.  UPC:  085391414629.

Could the other 2 episodes be for V:  The Original (UPC:  085391148920) which had 2 parts?

It's irrelevant, boykin. If they break it up into 5 Episodes on the disc, so do you.

It is not broken up into 5 Episodes on the disc.  It is only 3.

Might indeed be the cast for V the Original Miniseries and V the Final Battle combined. Why not compare to this and see which cast matches which episodes.

Check the contribution notes for each profile.  There may be something in the notes that helps identify where they got the credit info.

It looks like the first 2 episodes in the profile are from the original.  Ben Taylor and Tony Wah Chong Leonetti were killed in the first miniseries.  I am at work and cannot check to see if they got credited on The Final Battle or not.

Contribution Notes on cast and crew:

Cast & Crew per Tom Gaines' xml Export



Changed Episode Dividers to standard of "1. 'Name'".

Nothing else changed or added, just the dividers.

Yeah sounds like they didn't realize this release only had the three part mini series.  I profiled the V: The Complete Series but, only have V:The Final Battle in my wish list (waiting for another DeepDiscount 20% off sale).

the answer is however it is handled on the disc. You can't create something that isn't there. This is very common.

You are way out in left field. 

There are 2 miniseries sold seperately.  V:  The Original Miniseries, and V:  The Final Battle.  The first has 2 parts and the last has 3 parts.  This is the way they are packaged and presented on the disc.  Since the Original is not included with the Final Battle, there should not be 5 episodes listed in the profile of the Final Battle since it only has 3.

So it's a Boxset? I am sorry, I didn't pick up on that or i am confused, you seem to be indicating they are totally separate.

It is not a box set in the sense that V:  The Original Miniseries and V: The Final Battle are boxed together.  They are 2 tolly separate releases.  V:  The Original Miniseries (UPC:  085391148920) is one release with 2 parts or episodes.  Part 1 is on side A and Part 2 on side B.

V:  The Final Battle is another release (UPC:  085391414629) with 3 parts or episodes.  Part 1 on disc 1, side A, part 2 is on disc 1, side b, and part 3 is on disc 2.  However, the profile for The Final Battle has 5 episodes listed.

I can see cast memebers that died in the original in the 1st and 2nd episodes listed in Final Battle profile, so I think the first 2 episodes are from the original and should be removed.  I have not verified this yet. 

I think I have confuesd everyone.  I was confused how a 3 episode or part miniseries ended up with 5 episodes when profiled.

As I remember it, the proper sequence should be as follows:

V: The Miniseries
V: The Series
V: The Final Battle

That's the way it was originally shown on TV back when.

What he is saying is these are separate releases "V: The Miniseries" and "V: The Final Battle"  not sold or packaged together.  It appears the contributor for the cast and crew "V: The Miniseries" used Cast & Crew per Tom Gaines' xml Export without verify the data.  The export had the cast and crew data from both "V: The Miniseries" and "V: The Final Battle".  So basically there is cast and crew from "V: The Final Battle" that shouldn't be there.
