| | Posted: | | | | If an episode has "Excerpts by" does that constitute a "written by" credit? |

| | Posted: | | | | Written By is only to be used for onscreen credits of "Writer" or "Written By".
[sarcasm on]Unless of course you think that it is an equivalent job to a "Writer", then it's OK.[/sarcasm off] (not aimed at you Rl3058) | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | Hal no offense taken. But the episode in question is Stargate SG-1 "Politics" 5th disc of season 1. It seems that a previous contribution allowed "Excerpts by" to be listed as "Writer" in the crew credits. Should they not have been put there in the first place and should they be removed? | | | | Last edited: by Orici |

| | Posted: | | | | I agreee with hal on this, I have never seen this before so it's at least a genuine rarity, if not a one of a kind.

| | Posted: | | | | I think this sounds like a "Clips" episode, in which the cast is talking about thins from past episodes and we see clips from those episodes. That's an iffy credit IMO. I haven't done any credits like that, and I am not sure how I would handle it either. I would guess that the framing sequence that is set in the present would have a writing credit, but I am not sure how to credit the various flashback sequences, I'm not sure if they would be OMB or just be left out. | | | | Chris |

| | Posted: | | | | The credits are for actual writers of the series. Parts of previous episodes are included in this episode. Season 2 also has an episode like this, the season finale "Out of Mind".
I contributed the R2 dutch version of Season 2 recently including these writers, and nobody complained. Personally, I find this info usefull, but in case the rules should dictate to remove them from the online, I'm perfectly happy locking my crew for these rare occasions. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm
