Took about 6 weeks but got my replacement discs today. Feels great to have a complete set now.
I agree, my one regret about the last episode was that they could have done a stronger job continuity wise with what was established earlier, but unfortunately in those days that just wasn't something they gave too much thought to. That said, they at least brought back Diane Brewster (albeit uncredited) to play Helen Kimble and the running theme of them arguing about adoption was still there.stevelecher said:Fugitive fans with nothing to complain, or be unhappy, about. Kind of nice.I've tried a couple of times to get discussions about episodes going, but nobody seems to want to participate. Someone tried to start a thread a number of years ago but nothing really developed.In The Girl From Little Egypt, Helen and Richard's final fight began when he mentioned seeing Ross Carter earlier that day. I think it would have been cool if that scene had been used in the final episode and then the Lloyd Chandler character was instead Ross Carter. It would have at least tied that character to the early days of the show, even if he never really figured in it afterward. Just an idle thought I had when recently watching "Little Egypt."

The biggest continuity gaffe overall over the course of the series IMO was how Richard's brother Ray was never referred to again after his S1 appearance. Off to the same realm later inhabited by Eugene Barkley and Chuck Cunningham among others!
Thanks, Jack. Continuity was a problem here at times. In a fake letter he was writing to throw off the police in "The End Is But The Beginning," Kimble tells his dad to say hi to Doug and Sis. Who is Doug? Doesn't he, one other time, mention mom? I'm not sure about that one.
Their main inconsistency is when the murder took place. In Never Wave Goodbye, it was fall of 1960. Other times it was 1961. Then, in a number of later episodes, they indicated the murder was a couple years ago even though he had been on the run for two years. Didn't leave much time for the trial and appeal process. Anyway, small inconsistencies. The show is great and I'm happy to overlook a few writing errors.
My understanding is that the only replacement disc for Season Two was in fact Volume 1, Disc Four....CBS-P had forgotten to include Season 2/Disc 3/Vol.1, and instead packaged DUPLICATE discs of Season 2/Disc 3/Vol. 2. ...
