Paramount elected to present these two episodes as one seamless program. The typical ending credits of part
one are missing as are the opening credits of part II. This accounts for the abnormally short running time
of each episode. The opening and closing credits have been resequenced to include both episodes. Since this
is the only 2 part episode which will appear on the same disc in the standard release pattern, it is unlikely
this will be done for any other episode. However, this treatment was also used on Best of Both Worlds
which appears on The Q Continuum collection.
Further, the watchful eye will notice that the images used on the front cover for the episode identifiers both come from Part II of Unification. |
