Season 2 summaries

In the event of likely cancellation following the second season, and failure to trim the essays that have become of its summaries (to the recommended 200 words), I suggest they be removed entirely at that time. — Wylie pedia 08:11, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ignoring film sequels

re:

ignoring all the other four films

Does a source affirm that? Does the TV actually contradict these films in any way, or merely not use any new information introduced in them? I think that needs elaboration. 184.145.18.191 (talk) 00:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abbythecat (talk) 22:12, 23 October 2019 (UTC) The part about the series being called THE NEXT CHAPTER for its 2nd season should be removed. It was only advertised that way. The opening theme for season 2 (which can be viewed at YouTube) never refers to the series as THE NEXT CHAPTER. Both seasons were called THE EXORCIST.

Abbythecat (talk) 22:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)I think I'll "be bold" (as Wikipedia suggests) and correct this false information. Abbythecat.Abbythecat (talk) 22:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~I'm thinking it lists that the TV series ignores the sequels because there's some contradictions (Reagan's mom writing a book, Reagan having no supernatural powers, no mention of any HERETIC events, so on) in the TV series. This is just my opinion so I'm NOT listing it on the page. But, in my opinion, the TV series is a sequel to either/or the book or first film only. Again, only my opinion. Abbythecat ~~

march 13

~~In one scene in the first episode, Father Thomas looks up a story on the internet that says Karris and Merrin died on March 13. From THE EXORCIST 3, we know that this was in the year 1975. So the exorcism in the orginal movie took place March 13, 1975. Abbythecat~

Regan

@Bluerules: But she is not commonly called Regan for the rest of the season. So that is not a common name. Mike Allen 16:58, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "common names" are shorthand versions of proper names (e.g. "Kat" is short for "Katherine" and "Andy" is short for "Andrew"). "Angela Rance" is not the common form of "Regan MacNeil" - they are different identities. Bluerules (talk) 18:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
