Discuss Back to the Future

Item: Einstein's Adventure (1x8)

Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: Should this be its own episode. Season 1 episode 7 is the only episode to have two different parts. Should this be split? it's not like other shows that always have multiple segment.

This is similar to the discussion going on about xmen 97 and I think this does not fit the spirit of the rule

At the end of the day I don't believe you are following the spirit of the rule by splitting this episode. The rule was made for a specific situation where episodes are often split up and re packaged for syndication. That's not something that would happen with this episode. This is the only episode with a split narrative and you couldn't cut it up and add it to another episode.

This rule apply to every cartoon episodes composed of multiple segments.

If this rule had been written specifically for syndication, a similar rule would not have been written for anime. There is no syndication in Japan.

A similar situation was changed for X-men 97. That show allowed the one episode with a split title to screen to remain as one episode. Again, there was only one episode in the shows entire run that had two title cards.

The rule for X-men 97 has changed because we have decided that the segmentation rule should not be applied to show originally broadcasted on streaming platform. This has nothing to do with the fact that there was only one episode with 2 segments. I quote the rule : "This rule doesn't apply to series originally broadcasted on streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV+, Disney+, ...). The probabilities for them to have their episodes split differently in the future are much smaller."

You just said that the reason you aren't splitting for streaming services is because "The probabilities for them to have their episodes split differently in the future are much smaller." If only 1 of 26 episodes had two title screens it's basically impossible for them to split the show differently. Yes one was broadcast in early 90s and one streamed in 2024, but both are extremely unlikely to be split differently.

It remains possible that in the future the two segments may be broadcasted separately.
