    NOTES

    For best continuity, episodes should be viewed in production number order.
    The series ran on the SciFi Channel and also on a few individual stations, but SciFi did not run the episodes scheduled for Fridays. Thus, even though repeats of the series started airing in the proper order from episode 1 on May 15, SciFi still did not show them in order because it was skipping every 5th episode.
