Carly Foulkes

Does anyone really know how extensive the Retro Girl role is going to be. Is this going to be like the Mary Alice Young character (Brenda Strong) who was killed in the first episode of Desperate Housewives, but recurred throughout the series or is this going to be like when Gail O'Grady appeared (but was not killed) on the first episode of Monk, but only appeared on three episodes in the entire 8 season run of the show?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 11:15, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pulling facts out of the air is never a good way to advance an argument. O'Grady was never a regular on Monk (never announced as one, never credited as one, etc.), and two of her "three episodes" were the two parts of the re-edited pilot (broken into two 50 minute episodes). In the third episode (five years later), she was playing a completely different character. As for the size of Foulkes' role, the entire show is in flux, and there are no hard facts available. However, the investigation of Retro Girl's murder was the first story arc in the comic. 67.162.236.230 (talk) 23:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

Wouldn't Powers (TV series) be much simpler? -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 02:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a "Powers (ABC TV series)"? Maybe a "Powers (CBS TV series)"? Why is the page called "Powers (FX TV series)"? -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with "Powers (U.S. TV series) ? - ^theWOLFchild 04:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boldly moved it to U.S. TV series. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 02:08, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In case people missed it from the edit summaries, there is a Starz network show with the ~~same name~~ and country of origin. Chaosdruid (talk) 01:50, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... it is NOT the same name. That show is "Power", this one is "Powers".

I don't want to start a month long debate, but as far as I am aware, we do not apply rules for "same name" when they are not the same name.

Next problem - if it isn't on the DB page, then we don't need it DBing.

What next? "Chuting (pastime using rubber rings)" and "Shooting (propelling material out of a gun)"?

I don't think so ... so let's look at the quoted MoS put in the summary by the editor for the one who moved it back (to the right name, and then reverted themselves}.

"Use the following when there are two or more television productions of the same name."

OK - seems clear enough ... "of the same name"

These are not the same name. Chaosdruid (talk) 02:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is silly. They aren't the same name. (Similar, bit not the same. We have a note to address that at the top of the page.) There is no reason to not have "Powers (U.S. TV series)" as the page title. We already have a page with that name redirecting here anyway. - ^theWOLFchild 10:30, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, and I've returned the page to "Powers (U.S. TV series)". —Lowellian (reply) 23:56, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

episode list moved to new page

I have moved the list to a new page List of Powers episodes.

I could have spent hours chopping it down, they are REALLY long, but thought it best to move it first :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 02:04, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just added episode plot summaries for the second season. The longest is 135 words and the average is probably about 80. I'll see about honing my axe for season one's woodpile. - Reidgreg (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Finished condensing plot summaries for the first season, about 3625 -> 1400 words. I don't mind a full or partial revert if there are objections, but they were way too long. Cheers! - Reidgreg (talk) 16:50, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SPLITOUT Reversed – Episodes List Merged Back To This Article

I have WP:MERGED the content of the episodes list back to this article. It should never have WP:SPLITOUT in the first place (primarily as per MOS:TVSPLIT). See Talk:List of Powers (American TV series) episodes for more. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:02, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
