Talk:Portal:Episodes 1

Volume One was Genesis wasn't it?

According to this it looks like originally the first volume was to be called "Genesis" not "ordinary people discover extraordinary abilities." If the first episode was to be called "In His Own Image" then Genesis was the name of the volume. When they made the changes they did to the pilot that's when they changed the name of the episode, but wouldn't they have kept the name of the volume? It's like with Joss Whedon's two hour pilot it was originally called "Serenity" and then he named the movie "Serenity." ...well actually it's nothing like that but you see what I mean? -- ZachsMind 00:03, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Wow, first of all, great find! I guess a lot of changes, including the name of the first arc, were made before they filmed, huh? Stella, Ethan, and Harrison? And Zach was Zoe? Hmmm, I guess since this version is from almost a year before the series aired, it can't really be used to postulate theories. But it sure is interesting! — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:36, 5 February 2007 (EST)

The Other Unaired Pilot

Where is the link for the first cut that was circulated for review before it was revamped and then aired? The one where Issac cut off his hand, it had set up a scenario for Micah to steel money and run away, and they butchered Mohinder's 'Cockroach' speech. I have seen it. I'm surprised to find no mention of it.--WolvenSpectre 06:31, 17 February 2007 (EST)

• Because it's not part of Season One, it's not listed here. It's called In His Own Image, and is linked on the production portal. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:34, 17 February 2007 (EST)
  • Um, no. It isn't In His Own Image, It is the original cut of "Genesis" and doesn't follow the comicon storyline. It is the original cut for the aired pilot circulated pre-broadcast.--WolvenSpectre 14:57, 17 February 2007 (EST)
