Why in the Hell did they make the DVD like that ?

Thanks for the heads up, i just got it on DVD :)

Also, Bulls and Bears is switched with Death of an Angel on the DVD set. This is also worth reversing back to the airing order because why Angela is risking her safety by using a regular desktop computer in DoaA (instead of the T47) is explained in BaB. If you watch them in reverse, it's very confusing.

BUT, the weird part is, in the episode Y2K she still has the T47 which she lost in BaB..

I think the Y2K episode originally WAS episode 4, but for some weird reason they showed the guy playing sorcerer, instead of having it voiced by Curry. The scenes in this episode where we see sorcerer weren't necessary. The reason I think Y2K was also originally episode 4, is because of the ending, where Angela get's a ride with a trucker to anywhere.. By the time we are at episode 18 Angela isn't 'wandering to anywhere' anymore, she even drives that red convertible. Also in episode 17 we see Trelawny take a dive with a certain kind of ending, but in episode 18 Trelawny is back in the office like nothing ever happened (and let's not forget we see the black woman which we haven't seen for a lot of episodes).
IMHO Y2K playes more as actually being episode 4, except for the few scenes where we actually see sorcerer.

Sounds to me like the DVDs are ordered by Production Number, and that the episode in question was shelved for some reason, and then finished later.

As a side effect it is a little out of place either way. As #4 it gives too much away, but as #18 it has continuity issues.

Would it fit better somewhere in the middle? I.E. after the character in question is revealed, and also before she stops "wandering to anywhere".
