Talk:Novacom saga

Episodes after Exit

I am wondering if episodes that were related to Novacom but not directly and were aired after Exit should be included here...for example the episode Here Today, Gone Tomorrow? parts 1, 2 & 3 where Bennett Charles escapes from prison and kidnaps Mitch. blipadouzi 09:45, 8 June 2007 (PDT)

I'm not sure about Here Today, Gone Tomorrow? parts 1, 2 & 3, since it wasn't directly "Novacom" related. However, The Benefit of the Doubt might count since it dealt with the end of Novacom as a company. Shadowpaw 07:36, 12 June 2007 (PDT)

I had added #548: “Sounds Like a Mystery” to this list, but it was removed on the logic that it merely references the saga. For consistency's sake, if this logic is to be followed, #518: “The Case of the Disappearing Hortons” should also be removed from the list. Crnel (talk) 15:39, 10 July 2018 (MDT)

I talked with Austin Peachey, he said that Disappearing Hortons belongs in Novacom since Irving, when asked about the Hortons, says,

“

Irving: Novacom. Jared: What did you say? Irving: Don't you read the papers? The whole thing blew up not long ago.

”

Personally I don't think it should be included; I'll ask Austin. Meanwhile, could you elaborate on Sounds Like a Mystery's connection and at what time the Imagination Station was mentioned? Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 17:13, 10 July 2018 (MDT)

Irving's dialogue doesn't reveal anything new about the company after the saga ended. His phrase "the whole thing blew up" refers to the foiling of their plot, not the dissolution of the company or otherwise. His dialogue after the line refers to the ransacking of offices and people losing their jobs. This was material covered earlier during the end of the saga and afterward with Mitch and others trying to find new work.

Sounds Like a Mystery references the theft of the Imagination Station around 9'35" (at least on the album version). The episode also features the only use (that I can recall) of the security cameras. Since these connections are not saga plot developments, the episode is probably best left off the list of related episodes. Crnel (talk) 11:52, 11 July 2018 (MDT)
