Episodes out of order?

I think there is something wrong in the episode list, especially the three last episodes of season 5 (numbers 28,29 and 30). Which numbers are suspicious anyway, as most other seasons have no more than 24-25 episodes. All three of those obviously don't belong there but earlier, maybe much earlier.

In season 5, episode 28 The Matchmaker, "Mallory—having recently broken up with Rick—comes home after yet another disastrous date." Mallory broke up with Rick a long, long time ago In season 2, episode 2 to 11 she is with Jeff (in 11 she catches him cheating on her) and then in episode 16 Ready or Not we are introduced to Rick, a 16-year old Mallory debating whether to sleep with him or not. We don't see a lot of him after that. In this episode Jennifer is still a child Alex is at Leland (so we are surely in season 3)BUT if you look at the opening credits, there is no Andrew. Andrew was born in Birth of a Keaton, season 3 episode 16. So this episode must belong to season 3 but before episode 16. Of course, in season 4 episode 3 Mallory introduces us to Nick...

Shantimar (talk) 00:05, 20 March 2012 (UTC)In series 5 episode 29 It's my party, we see in the credits Andrew but as a baby (whereas we have seen him before in this same season as a 4-year old toddler. Description: "Since her birthday party, Jennifer is spending all her spare time with her new 'cool' airhead friends, doing atypical things. Ellen and Mallory assure Alex that's how 13-year old girls become aware of their sexuality. " Of course Jennifer is not 13 anymore, we've seen her older, taller, with makeup and heels etc... We see Mallory in short hair (as in series 4 when she first started going out with Nick) and most of all we see Alex's girlfriend Ellen, who is long gone to Paris and dumped him.[reply]

So this episode too is wrongly put, and so is n.30. They all belong to series 4 (when Alex starts going to college) after episode 3 when Alex and Ellen become involved.

On the other hand, if you stick those three extra episodes there, series 4 would have 27 episodes instead of 24

So these episodes were originally made for seasons 3 and 4, but for some reason they were not aired, and were finally aired during season 5. Should we put them in the correct order?

s06e16 is also an old ep mixed in with the new. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.150.71.154 (talk) 10:37, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
