there should be a reference to the link of the girl with the trashbag thing. the external link makes no sense to someone who hasn't seen the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.212.79 (talkcontribs) 23:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I can't believe it actually exists. ~ EmeZxX ` 05:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

T-shirt in continuity section edit

The fact that one character in one episode wears the same t-shirt as another character in another episode three years later is not continuity. There is nothing continuous between these two cases. It is, at best, trivia about the wardrobe department. 99.192.72.250 (talk) 13:16, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I disagree, that is the very definition of continuity. Darrenhusted (talk) 12:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
You are confusing continuity with trivia. The "definition of continuity" would be elements of the plot of a particular episode that depend on knowing something from a previous episode to understand. Some continuous story shows have a "previously on" segment at the beginning to provide this continuity. Elements of an episode other than this can be continuity items if there is some significant connection between two episodes. But in this case there is no reason to think that two different characters happening to wear the same shirt several years apart from each other are connected at all. No connection means no continuity. Like I said before, this is (at best) wardrobe department trivia. 99.192.69.121 (talk) 13:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
