Episode 26 Discussion (The episode that didn't air)

"Yeah, but..." 10-27-2003 10:42 PM
"Big-O Gate
Mislabeled Tape
+
Drunken Webcam Party
=
Righteous Angry Mob"

And the sign guy got a shot out! "The Big O is very displeased" was the first card. That guy's gonna go down in geek lore.

I still want to find out who the dude is so we can all shower him with appreciative e-mails, flowers, and gifts of money.

Act 26 is an even bigger cliffhanger than act 13. We need some kind of movie/OAV/third season. It is NESSESARY.


If you want to be spoiled, and see screenshots for the whole episode 26, simply click the following link.

How is that ending a cliffhanger?

The entire show looping back on itself doesn't hold any interest for me.

For the sake of electron conversation, I have posted my thoughts about The Show Must Go On fiasco in another thread and am linking to it here. I hope it makes for calming reading for everyone Smile

NO! Not *yet another* long ramblilng post by Bentar!!!

I'm so glad they fixed their mistake. I was mad because I wasn't sure act 26 was airing anytime soon... but now I'm actually happy about it. After this there's no new Big O... sometimes I feel like I never want that day to come...

I posted that. Can't say if it's factual or not, but judging from what Andy said it's the only thing that made sense.

And this is quite a lot of posts for a thread about something that never happened. Smile

Yeah, nine pages filled with nothing but spam. Roll Eyes

So who's excited about the next episode of Big O?

Only 20 days, 23 hours, 0 minutes, and 52 seconds left!
Mike 10-28-2003 04:32 PM
Wait, isn't it more like 5 days? Confused It's only a week, not a month.

I'm glad AS realized their mistake and used their cards last night to try and apologize for it. What really made the situation bad was that nobody was answering the fans' questions, and in their drunkenness they seemed to be mocking the fans.

They'll show episode 20 again before they finally get it right. (Joking.)

Anyways, it seems like 20 days. *sigh* Frown

It's spam now. At the time most people were speculating about what happened. I was mad because I wasn't sure when/if AS would air the episode. Now that I now I'm actually happy this happens... it's longer until Big O ends forever...

w00t... it always takes me a couple days to get to the ep. discussion. I'm glad they're going to clear this up and finally show Ep. 26.

My jaw nearly hit the ground when I saw "Stripes" coming on. it was a really sh**y night for me after my cat got incredibly sick (He still isn't better... Crying )

They really are going to kill us!

I don't think this is gonna just blow off real quick.or at all. At least,for this week,the boards are gonna be filled with AS hate,just to let time go by. And personally, I have NEVER heard of a entertainment company making such an error,ever.Thats whats so amazing to me.


CN screwed up once before with an episode supposing to air and it didn't. Something with MS 08th Gundam or Cowboy Bebop. I can't remember but I know something (not of this proportion) happened before. (Though Rumor has it that there were 2 final episodes of ReBoot that were supposed to end the show and Season 4 that NEVER aired on CN for some reason Shocked )

Anway, about these boards (Yes, I'm a bit selfish) but if you want some good AS fun or the *REAL* truth behind what happened one of our talented writers, Lady Tesser, gave us a theory here.
Its towards the bottom (about the second to last post).

We're poking some fun, and its good fun. There's a thread where the Big O crew have appeared on various news shows.

I just thought, since we're all still disappointed (and our families think we're nuts for explaining how epic this "mistake" was to us), we need some laughs (besides those we get from General Discussion and others).

So check out Fanworks if you haven't. We have some funny threads.

...boy this sounded like an ad. Yeah, I was SO devasted to find out that my tape had Act 20 on it... and I didn't find out till about 6 yesterday! (At least I have Brak...) Man...I was just so upset (and I something else I was looking forward too ended up disappointing me). Now my main car is acting up (This is today!). Yay.

Oh well, ONE MORE WEEK! There is a reason this was pushed off a week...maybe...

Later,
Pen1300

Edit: Redd, I hope your kitty gets better!

My first post in a long time.... Hmmmm......

Akk.... I didn't get to read all of this last night (I ALWAYS read threads before posting.). And, I was SO FRIGGIN ANGRY when I went to watch my taped Big-O, and it was episdoe 20. I was not a pretty sight.... And, my friend and I have a notebook at school (For random stuff. Don't ask. We were bored in science one day, so, I started one.), and I filled up at least three pages on how mad I was. I was very mad.

But, I'm glad it's sorted out. Hopefully, it'll air right.... *Prays it does, and that no one's cable/satelite goes out* PLEASE LET IT AIR RIGHT...... Or there will NOT be a happy Strawberrry....

I feel so many emotions about seeing this episode. Nothing too extreme of course.

Hey, it's Thursday and I just remembered the "Can't Wait for Ep. 26" thread is still locked. Is there still some life left in it?

I'm so excited about this! Happily, the birthday bash is tonight so I won't be climbing the walls for the last few hours.
