Last Saturday's edition had the public exhibition of the nude photographs*
and ended with them being sold to the unseen Andy Warhol.

At the beginning of that episode, the "Previously on..." bit had shown the
photographee preparing to be photographed.

This week's ep had that incident as the *last* scene of the unfolding story,
whereas last week's had it as something that had already happened.

OTOH, the wikipedia episode guide identifies last night (Ep 13) as being in
its correct place.

Curious.

Yes - American Broadcasting Corp (ABC) decided to show the episodes out of order
in the US, so they followed the same misordering in the UK. They have a history
of doing this (see Firefly), purportedly picking out what they feel are the
stronger episodes and airing them first. The fact that it totally screws up the
storyline continuity arc and generates massive amounts of confusion doesn't seem
to percolate through their heads.

Presumably the DVD will have them ordered correctly.

I assume that the front-end "Previously" was assembled to suit the changed
(wrong) order?

I would think so - i wasn't paying that close attention. Those clips typically
don't show up on the DVD.

I missed it this week for the first time , Final destination three was
deemed more fun by the assembly here. It's the repetitious stuff about

I've watched it all the way through - give us a recommendation as to
what we should be watching , seriously , I asked this before and was
pointed to the stunning breaking bad.

Aaargh - oh dear. I thought this guy photographing her was supposed to
be
Andy Warhol, as in the other episode she wants to buy back all the
photos
for 500 dollars and then hears that Andy Warhol likes them, so I
somehow
thought this new guy she smooches with in the dark room was supposed
to
be... and then thought, they might have put on the right wig and stuff
because he really doesn't look much like him...

so what happened between redheaded spylady and her Croatian Nico? Oh
man,
do they do this on purpose to see if we are paying attention? I did
think there was something missing somewhere, but I thought that was
due
to the Christmas break.

I also had to check the episode guide to find out who "Ginny" was (she's only
been in two previous episodes, and they were shown prior to Christmas).

Yes, that is correct, but only for certain values of 'correct'. :)

Ummm, kind of. For starters, this is the chronological order...

1 "Pilot"
2 "We'll Always Have Paris"
3 "Ich Bin Ein Berliner"
4 "Eastern Exposure"
5 "One Coin in a Fountain"
6 "The Genuine Article"

13 "Romance Languages"

7 "Truth or Dare"
8 "Unscheduled Departure"
9 "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"
10 "Secrets and Lies"
11 "Diplomatic Relations"
12 "New Frontiers"

14 "1964"

What actually happened is that "Romance Languages" was pulled because it
just wasn't good enough to air during the Sweeps. The episode finally went
out against the Grammy's, since nobody would be watching it anyway.

And that date was also the 32nd birthday of Christina Ricci, lucky her.

Yes, they showed again sometime last night, and I had it on my digital
box
thing again, and she calls the photographer GRAHAME, so how could I
think
he was Andy Warhol? Then I remembered, yes, he photographed her on
the
plane in episode 2 or something.

Maybe they purposely mixed the episodes up so we'd sit up and pay
attention.
I only know, the dresses - on THEIR figures - are beautiful! At this
point
I wouldn't mind a season two, but of course that will never happen.

I have stopped watching this series much exxxcept to watch Margot Robbie
and Karine Vanasse. I ususally watch it while I am working on something
so I don't have to endure the silly storylines.

Robbie is an absolutely classic beauty of staggering proportions, and
Vanasse's smile is as cute as cute can be ;)

It's such a pity that it is so hard to find good sexy wallpapers of
these gorgeous ladies...

That's almost as bad as discovering that Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Janice
Rand in the first few episodes of 'Star Trek' - the blonde with the
basket-weave hairdo) is 81...

of those women who look a lot better the way she looks in the show
compared to how she looks in real life.

Thanks a heap Fred. Got them :)

Re Margot ... I suspect that this may be because a) God love her but she
doesn't seem to have great personal taste for how she dresses and does
her hair, and b) maybe she intentionally dresses 'down' to get away from
the celeb thing.

I also notice she seems very modest. She doesn't go in for risque
outfits or photoshoots. Good for her if that is true and yikes is she a
beauty.

Vanasse's sexy smile seems to be enhanced by the way she is made up in
Pan Am definitely.

Cassidy Freeman from Smallville is the same. She looks really hot and
classy
on the show, but in real she seems to have a terrible dress sense and
style.

I had to read this three times in disbelief that season 3 of Pan Am is now
airing, until I wondered if there is a TV show called Justified. Yes?

It seems perfectly clear to me. Spud was asking to be directed to shows to
watch and he included the comment he had been directed to the show called,
Breaking Bad by this method. I was merely pointing him to a show called
Justified and, commenting that is was in its third season.
Sorry if you were confused, Fliss. It was not my intention,
