Reported Problem for The Old Ball and Chain (0x8)
posted by SimbiAniSTAFFMOD on September 9, 2022 at 1:31 PM
Item: The Old Ball and Chain (0x8)
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: This episode should be listed as 4x23, just like its production number, along with the following episode, 4x24, as they were merely initially unaired-in-the-US as a two-part finale that got included everywhere else in the proper spot (particularly on Netflix, before the series expired Jan2022). Both episodes have their own episode pages on IMDB as well, which marks them as such (4x23 & 4x24, respectively). Please fix them so they can be logged accurately on Trakt, etc. Thanks!

Plenty of series have ~unaired eps still listed correctly, that factor should not be the barometer for canonicity. It's an important part of the story that is intended to be viewed according to production number, which if even iMDB can respect, tMDB could at least do in kind. Especially since many networks are often known notoriously for wonky airing orders in general, it's not a good reason to leave things out in places like this that are expected to be accurate to the series themselves (story should always take precedence).

On our site, airdates took absolute precedence. So, episodes unaired during the first broadcast of the series should be listed as special episodes; This is mandatory.
As indicated in the previous content report I have linked, there is an episode group available to get the production order.
