The Missing Episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

This post has nothing to do with Disney or their movies.

Hello. Star Wars is extremely close to my heart, and extremely important to me. As a narrative and a creative work, I believe Star Wars is unique and distinctive. I believe that Star Wars is now in an unfinished state, and will more than likely remain so forever, but my anti-Disney tirades can go in another post. For now, I simply want to inform you about Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and share my theory that there are episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars being hidden from us.

All information in this post is publicly and freely available from Wikipedia.

Here is a list of every episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars released before production was cancelled by Disney in 2014, along with seasonal notes.

The series had 5 seasons conventionally constructed, intentionally sequenced and released weekly on television, and 1 season released in bulk on a streaming service, Netflix. Altogether, this covers 121 episodes of the series released before Disney's interference.

However, this is not all of the information we have. You'll notice that, next to every single episode title, there is a sequence of two numbers. This sequence is that episode's production code; the first digit is the production block, while the next two digits are the episode's particular order within the production block. This information is more pertinent for a look at the series from a production standpoint, so here is that information put together:

BLOCK 1 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 1 and 2.

1.02 - "Downfall of a Droid" (S1E6) 1.05 - "Bombad Jedi" (S1E8) 1.06 - "Duel of the Droids" (S1E7) 1.07 - "Rising Malevolence" (S1E2) 1.08 - "Ambush" (S1E1) 1.09 - "Shadow of Malevolence" (S1E3) 1.10 - "Cloak of Darkness" (S1E9) 1.11 - "Destroy Malevolence" (S1E4) 1.12 - "Lair of Grievous" (S1E10) 1.13 - "Cargo of Doom" (S2E2) 1.14 - "Rookies" (S1E5) 1.15 - "Storm Over Ryloth" (S1E19) 1.16 - "Dooku Captured" (S1E11) 1.17 - "Innocents of Ryloth" (S1E20) 1.19 - "Liberty on Ryloth" (S1E21) 1.20 - "The Gungan General" (S1E12) 1.21 - "Voyage of Temptation" (S2E13) 1.22 - "Jedi Crash" (S1E13) 1.23 - "Holocron Heist" (S2E1) 1.24 - "Defenders of Peace" (S1E14) 1.25 - "Trespass" (S1E15) 1.26 - "Blue Shadow Virus" (S1E17)

BLOCK 2 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 1, 2, and 3, tied with Block 4 for the most seasons within a single block.

2.01 - "The Hidden Enemy" (S1E16) 2.02 - "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" (S1E18) 2.03 - "Children of the Force" (S2E3) 2.04 - "Hostage Crisis" (S1E22) 2.05 - "Senate Spy" (S2E4) 2.06 - "The Deserter" (S2E10) 2.07 - "Landing at Point Rain" (S2E5) 2.08 - "Weapons Factory" (S2E6) 2.09 - "Legacy of Terror" (S2E7) 2.10 - "Senate Murders" (S2E15) 2.11 - "Lightsaber Lost" (S2E11) 2.12 - "Brain Invaders" (S2E8) 2.13 - "The Mandalore Plot" (S2E12) 2.14 - "Grievous Intrigue" (S2E9) 2.15 - "Death Trap" (S2E20) 2.16 - "Duchess of Mandalore" (S2E14) 2.17 - "Cat and Mouse" (S2E16) 2.18 - "R2 Come Home" (S2E21) 2.19 - "Bounty Hunters" (S2E17) 2.20 - "Lethal Trackdown" (S2E22) 2.21 - "Assassin" (S3E7) 2.22 - "The Zillo Beast" (S2E18) 2.23 - "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" (S2E19) 2.24 - "Supply Lines" (S3E3) 2.25 - "Sphere of Influence" (S3E4) 2.26 - "The Academy" (S3E6)

BLOCK 4 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 4, 5, and 6, tied with Block 2 for the most seasons within a single block.

4.01 - "Plan of Dissent" (S4E9) 4.02 - "Carnage of Krell" (S4E10) 4.03 - "Kidnapped" (S4E11) 4.04 - "Slaves of the Republic" (S4E12) 4.05 - "Escape from Kadavo" (S4E13) 4.06 - "A Friend in Need" (S4E14) 4.07 - "Deception" (S4E15) 4.08 - "Friends and Enemies" (S4E16) 4.09 - "The Box" (S4E17) 4.10 - "Crisis on Naboo" (S4E18) 4.11 - "Massacre" (S4E19) 4.12 - "Bounty" (S4E20) 4.13 - "Brothers" (S4E21) 4.14 - "Revenge" (S4E22) 4.15 - "A War on Two Fronts" (S5E2) 4.16 - "Front Runners" (S5E3) 4.17 - "The Soft War" (S5E4) 4.18 - "Tipping Points" (S5E5) 4.19 - "An Old Friend" (S6E5) 4.20 - "The Rise of Clovis" (S6E6) 4.21 - "Crisis at the Heart" (S6E7) 4.22 - "The Gathering" (S5E6) 4.23 - "A Test of Strength" (S5E7) 4.24 - "Bound for Rescue" (S5E8) 4.25 - "A Necessary Bond" (S5E9) 4.26 - "Revival" (S5E1)

BLOCK 5 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 5 and 6.

5.01 - "Eminence" (S5E14) 5.02 - "Shades of Reason" (S5E15) 5.03 - "The Lawless" (S5E16) 5.04 - "Secret Weapons" (S5E10) 5.05 - "A Sunny Day in the Void" (S5E11) 5.06 - "Missing in Action" (S5E12) 5.07 - "Point of No Return" (S5E13) 5.08 - "Sabotage" (S5E17) 5.09 - "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" (S5E18) 5.10 - "To Catch a Jedi" (S5E19) 5.11 - "The Wrong Jedi" (S5E20) 5.12 - "The Unknown" (S6E1) 5.13 - "Conspiracy" (S6E2) 5.14 - "Fugitive" (S6E3) 5.15 - "Orders" (S6E4) 5.16 - "The Disappeared, Part I" (S6E8) 5.17 - "The Disappeared, Part II" (S6E9) 5.18 - "The Lost One" (S6E10) 5.19 - "Voices" (S6E11) 5.20 - "Destiny" (S6E12) 5.21 - "Sacrifice" (S6E13)

Looking at this list, gaps are plainly evident. 1.01, 1.03, 1.04, and 1.18 are all missing, and Block 5 is 5 episodes shorter than the previous 4 blocks. Where are these episodes?

The missing episodes from Block 1 are easy; they were cannibalized and stitched together to make the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film. The film is 98 minutes long, while episodes of the series are typically around 22 minutes long; 22 minutes per episode times 4 episodes is 88 minutes total runtime, 10 minutes short of the film's runtime. Those 10 minutes are likely the credits and polishing for the film's theatrical release, if not simply the episodes themselves being slightly longer.

Therefore, we can add these to the list:

1.01 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.03 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.04 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.18 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM)

This resolves the issue of the missing episodes from Block 1, meaning that all of the episodes produced before 5.22 were released. This gives us a total of 125 episodes. But what about Episode 5.22 and the rest of Block 5?

This is where the trail gets murky. Fans of the series who were around when it was cancelled may recall The Clone Wars Legacy, the plan to release content from the series in different means in order to not waste the work that went into it. Some may think that this simplifies things. In fact, it does the opposite.

Here is a list of all the content from The Clone Wars Legacy:

Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir, a comic adapting a 4-episode arc covering Darth Maul's story after getting captured by Darth Sidious at the end of "The Lawless", released by Dark Horse Comics.

Dark Disciple, a novel adapting either an 8-episode arc or two related 4-episode arcs covering Asajj Ventress' story after her last appearance in "The Wrong Jedi".

Crystal Crisis on Utapau, a rough story reel of incomplete episodes of a 4-episode arc, covering the emotional fallout of Ahsoka's departure from the Jedi Order after the events of "The Wrong Jedi".

The Bad Batch, a rough story reel of incomplete episodes of a 4-episode arc, intending to work as a backdoor pilot of sorts to a spin-off series focusing on the titular Bad Batch.

Those keeping track of the numbers will quickly spot that we have the content of 20 episodes released as The Clone Wars Legacy. This does not easily fill in the gaps we have, nor does it finish things off neatly.

The production codes of the original episodes adapted into the material for The Clone Wars Legacy are known. The production codes of the in-production 20 episodes are listed below:

BLOCK 6 - This block has 16 known episodes.

6.01 - "A Death on Utapau" (REEL) 6.02 - "In Search of the Crystal" (REEL) 6.03 - "Crystal Crisis" (REEL) 6.04 - "The Big Bang" (REEL) 6.09 - "The Bad Batch" (REEL) 6.10 - "A Distant Echo" (REEL) 6.11 - "On the Wings of Keeradaks" (REEL) 6.12 - "Unfinished Business" (REEL) 6.13 - "Lethal Alliance" (BOOK) 6.14 - "The Mission" (BOOK) 6.15 - "Conspirators" (BOOK) 6.16 - "Dark Disciple" (BOOK) 6.21 - "The Enemy of My Enemy" (BOOK) 6.22 - "A Tale of Two Apprentices" (BOOK) 6.23 - "Proxy War" (BOOK) 6.24 - "Showdown on Dathomir" (BOOK)

BLOCK 7 - This block has 4 known episodes.

7.05 - "Saving Vos, Part I" (BOOK) 7.06 - "Saving Vos, Part II" (BOOK) 7.07 - "Traitor" (BOOK) 7.08 - "The Path" (BOOK)

While we can add these to the list of produced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this raises more questions than answers. Not only was there a Block 6, but there was also a Block 7 as well. Block 7 is nearly entirely unknown, while Block 6 also has gaps, and, to top it all off, none of the things we gain from this are in Block 5, meaning those episodes are still unknown as well.

However, we do gain one answer from this: the production blocks got shorter. The last episode of Block 6 is 6.24, not 6.26 as one might expect from Blocks past. This makes Block 5's gap a little more clear-cut; it means we're only missing 5.22 through 5.24. That's 3 episodes, a common arc length. If Block 5 was as long as the other blocks, that would be 5 episodes missing, which could be either a 4-episode arc and a standalone episode, or a 2-episode arc and a 3-episode arc. All still common arc lengths, but not as clear-cut.

Of course, there's no definitive proof that the blocks got shorter. It's possible there'a 5.25 and 5.26 and a 6.25 and a 6.26. That would be a 2-episode arc missing from Block 6, as well.

The only "proof" I have seen stating that the blocks got shorter, besides the lack of trails for a theoretical 6.25 and 6.26 confirming that Block 6 remained the same length, and therefore Block 5 must have, as well, is a statement by Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter, stating that there is no 5.25 or 5.26. I do not know where he gets his information from, and his relationship with Lucasfilm is murky to me, so I'm hesitant to just accept it as fact. There's also the fact that he could be lying to cover Lucasfilm and/or Disney for the sake of money and employment.

This is not an allegation or a statement of belief, merely an acknowledgement of possibility.

However, the production blocks do seem to be 26 episodes long specifically just to cover the film initially, which leaves 22 episodes for the regular season; since Season 5 definitively got reduced by 2 episodes, it's entirely possible that the production blocks did also get reduced by 2 episodes, and the new season length merely reflects this.

All this does is muddy the waters, however. Without solid answers, we've got next to nothing to go on.

Except Disney.

Of course, Disney resurrected the rotting corpse of Star Wars: The Clone Wars to be completely sure that the money well within was completely dry, before discarding it and moving on to whatever live action thing they're working on now. These episodes do, however, give us some information. Listed below are the episodes Disney released:

BLOCK 6

6.05 - "Gone with a Trace" (DISNEY) 6.06 - "Deal No Deal" (DISNEY) 6.07 - "Dangerous Debt" (DISNEY) 6.08 - "Together Again" (DISNEY)

BLOCK 7 7.21 - "Old Friends Not Forgotten" (DISNEY) 7.22 - "The Phantom Apprentice" (DISNEY) 7.23 - "Shattered" (DISNEY) 7.24 - "Victory and Death" (DISNEY)

While these episodes have been "adapted" (read: scrubbed and censored) by Disney, the fact that they continue to use the original production codes leads me to believe that these episodes originated as original episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. However, they've been written or additionally written by Dave Filoni, who, aside from assisting with one episode ("Lethal Trackdown", S2E22, 2.20), was not a writer on the series until after Disney bought the property; he was a director. This tells me that the direction he took the episodes in was not their originally intended direction, but rather, the Disney-approved direction given to him. This says, to me, that we cannot pull any information from these episodes besides possibly basic premises, as these are not the original episodes with renewed production, but new "adaptations" of what was being produced when the series was cancelled.

However, this does give us new information, in telling us that the final episodes of Block 7 were the finale of the series. This feels too large of a fact to be new or changed; I feel that, while the content and direction of 7.21 through 7.24 may have changed, them being the series finale is just too big of a basic premise to ignore or change. If it isn't, then why make those episodes the finale of the revived series? Why not 7.01 through 7.04, or invent new numbers in 6.25 through 6.28?

Therefore, going off that conclusion, we have a solid ending point: 7.24, the end of the final production block, Block 7.

This also supports the idea that the production blocks get shorter with Block 5, as, while 5.24 is not known, both 6.24 and 7.24 seem to be the end of their blocks.

Therefore, with all this information, I feel we can see a basic roadmap of where Star Wars: The Clone Wars was going to go, and what Disney took from us. Looking at a list of the production blocks:

Block 1: 26 episodes Block 2: 26 episodes Block 3: 26 episodes Block 4: 26 episodes Block 5: 24 episodes Block 6: 24 episodes Block 7: 24 episodes

If all information is correct, this means LucasFilm were planning on producing 176 episodes of the series. Looking at a list of the released episodes before the buyout:

Season 1: 22 episodes Season 2: 22 episodes Season 3: 22 episodes Season 4: 22 episodes Season 5: 20 episodes Season 6: 13 episodes

This means that LucasFilm released 121 of their ostensibly planned 176 episodes. Adding the 4 episodes used for the film gives us 125.

Subtracting these two gives us a figure of 51 episodes remaining. These 51 episodes were likely in various stages of completion when the buyout occurred.

Looking at the seasons, Season 6 is not constructed like the rest, but rather, a bulk release of product. Assuming that Season 5 was intended to be the new model going forward, we can subtract 7 of those 51 unreleased episodes to round out Season 6 to it's intended length of 20 episodes.

This leaves us with 44 episodes. Divide that by 2, and you get 22 episodes. 22 episodes for a theoretical Season 7 and a theoretical Season 8.

Out of the 51 episodes not completed and released by LucasFilm, 28 have been adapted and released via other means. This leaves at least 23 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars about which we know absolutely nothing, listed below:

5.22 5.23 5.24 6.17 6.18 6.19 6.20 7.01 7.02 7.03 7.04 7.09 7.10 7.11 7.12 7.13 7.14 7.15 7.16 7.17 7.18 7.19 7.20

These include a 3-episode arc from Block 5, a 4-episode arc from Blocks 6 and 7, and almost the entirety of the middle of Block 7.

These numbers are not solid. It's possible that Blocks 5 through 7 were intended to be 26 episodes as all the others were. That would add 6 episodes, for 182 planned episodes, and 57 uncompleted, about which we know nothing about 29 of them.

It's possible that Seasons 5 and 6 were intended to be 22 episodes as all the other seasons were, and things simply didn't work out that way. This would mean 11 episodes would be needed to round out the seasons, rather than 0 for Season 5 and 7 for Season 6.

This could leave us with 40 or 42 episodes to divide between a theoretical Season 7 and 8. 2 seasons of 20 episodes, or a season of 20 and a season of 22.

There are many possibilities, wrapped in shadows and behind closed doors, regarding this series. We will likely never know the facts, simply because the facts are nebulous and were not, nor ever will be, solidified.

But we can know for sure is that the original intended versions of Blocks 6 and 7, plus the final 3 episodes of Block 5, will likely never be finished, and that we have lost George Lucas' original vision for this series. Those 51 episodes, while potentially getting adapted, will never be released or even completed the way they were originally intended.

(Although George Lucas has stated previously that Star Wars is "like poetry, it rhymes", this series does seem to be lacking in rhyming. Production blocks and season lengths both change midway through, and there seems to have been intended 8 seasons, which is annoyingly only 1 short from matching the intended number of Star Wars movies: 9.)

This is a tremendous shame, because Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a fantastic series which lovingly and accurately adapts a big-screen property for the small screen, tells a dense, varied, but cohesive story, and expands the universe that so many of us have loved since 1977.

We wanted to know about the Clone Wars since that time, and we finally got it. While we may never see the original, epic conclusion, we should still be grateful for 6 seasons of wonderful television.

The Rig, 1.06

John Strickland (D), David Macpherson (S), 06/01/23

Je doute qu'il y ait jamais une saison 2, et donc nous ne saurons probablement pas si Kacey s'en est sorti, ni où les survivants de Kinloch Bravo vont se retrouver, pas plus que ce qui va advenir de Baz. Ce n'est pas grave. L'important, toutes proportions gardées, est que ce croisement improbable entre Abyss et Anhilition ait existé, et merci à la BBC car ce n'est pas France Télévisions qui aurait donné son accord pour une telle série. Donc merci pour ces six épisodes frustrants et agaçants.

You said to Francis the night of your attack, what happened to John Ross at Fury Beach could happen to him, too. I’ve had a chance to read Ross’s memoir, and I found nothing self-critical there.

Me revoilà avec quelques vidéos pour des gifs de Britni Sumida, je ne sais pas lequel a une meilleure qualité, je préfère donc te donner le choix : vimeo(.)com/188739010 - vimeo(.)com/360171240 (à partir de 1.06, et il y a pleins de sous vidéos de cult qui la mettent en scène) - youtu(.)be/VxsRna3xHFo . Merci encore bella !

@vaespertine je m'excuse pour le temps que j'ai pris ! j'ai connu quelques aléas inattendus, notamment mon photoshop qui fait des caprices (je n'ai toujours pas compris pourquoi...) !! ce qui fait que j'ai dû m'y prendre à plusieurs fois pour réaliser chacun des gifs, ce qui m'a pris donc plus de temps que prévu.

tu en trouveras une petite dizaine. (x) (x) j'espère qu'ils te plairont et que tu ne regretteras pas d'être venue ! d'ailleurs, merci une nouvelle fois. ❤❤

Changing of the Seasons - Part 2 (Downton Abbey)

Before the London Season begins, there are things to consider.

Featuring Sybil and Tom. Set after 1.06, prior to Sybil’s London Season. Written as a companion piece to a previous story.

“Are you nervous, then?” Branson asked, glancing up from the front of the Renault. The day was young still, yet there seemed a thousand little tasks to do preparatory to embarking for London for the Season. The Yorkshire countryside ambled past as they sped into town for Sybil to pick up the writing paper which Mama had ordered from Paris.

“I am,” Sybil admitted. “What if I accidentally turn my back on the Queen?”

“S'pose they'll have to behead you,” said Branson.

Sybil grimaced at him from the backseat. “Granny might prefer that to humiliation of the Crawley name.”

“D'you actually have to talk to them?”

Sybil shook her head. “Edith says there's not time. I curtsey at each royal and go. It happens in a flash, they won't remember me apart from the other hundreds of debutantes. Not unless we meet at a ball later in the Season.”

“Takes the pressure off then, doesn't it? If you make a mistake they won't remember you anyway.”

“They might remember the mistake.”

“Then make one, so they'll remember you.”

Sybil could not completely hide a smile. “You're impossible.”

Looking out at the familiar Yorkshire roads, which would soon be replaced by city streets and old mansions, she asked him: “Have you studied your map?”

“Are you afraid I'll get lost on the way to the palace, or hoping so?”

Sybil laughed. “I want Papa to be glad he brought you.”

In the aftermath of the count at Ripon, Lord Grantham had seriously considered whether to take Branson along to act as chauffeur in London or leave him behind in Yorkshire. London was regarded as a reward for service and it had taken his daughter's spirited entreaties on Branson's behalf, and several promises of good behavior, before Robert had conceded. It helped that Branson was a more qualified mechanic than any chauffeur the lord could hire on short notice. The threat of a decommissioned motor, and of embarrassing reliance on the kindness of neighbors, reigned supreme above the other arguments.

So while the Crawleys made a detour to Paris to make an appearance at Worth's Branson would go ahead to London, taking advantage of their absence to familiarize himself with the streets.

“I know a cabbie in London,” said Branson. “Not only have I studied my map, I've studied his. You'll be first to the anterooms at Buckingham Palace.”

Mary and Edith had both regaled their younger sister with horrific accounts of the interminable logjam which all but the earliest of debutantes endured on their way to be presented to the king and queen. It was nigh on five hours of sitting in the back of an automobile, praying for the mercy of London weather upon the long succession of cars while crowds of onlookers angled for close looks at the new debs. Some went so far as to stand upon the car's ledges to get a proper gander inside. Sybil had wondered aloud how Branson would respond to that and he'd answered with typical cheek: “Irishly.”

Poor Edith, whose fortunes never seemed to vary, had suffered an early London heat wave in her layers of finery for four-and-a-half hours while Taylor glared ineffectually at onlookers peering in at the debutante and her sponsor. Even Mary had had such a vexing time of it that by the time she reached the photographer's at last that evening, following the presentation, her patience was so taxed that rendered in her gorgeous gown she'd appeared an ice queen of legend.

“That will be a relief,” said Sybil earnestly. “The ostrich feathers will be drooping enough by midnight without sitting in the car for hours on end.”

“Have your frock sorted?”

“Gown,” Sybil corrected, half-laughing, “and very nearly. Worth's sent sketches, I just need to choose what I like. Mama narrowed down the choices but said I may have the final pick.” She drew the portfolio of sketches out now, almost musingly, to consider them as she had been doing over the last several days.

Branson pulled to a stop and braked before the stationery shop. “No trousers in the running this time?”

Sybil grinned. “No, but for the care Mama and Granny are taking you'd think they believe me likely to try.”

The trousers seemed such a small rebellion now, but she was still fond of that frock and had mounted a joking campaign to start a new trend for ladies' trousers during the Season. Granny had taken her entirely too seriously and subsequently made her opinion known when ordering the entirety of Sybil's wardrobe.

When it was only the two of them, Sybil never waited for Branson to open the door for her when exiting. He didn't seem to mind. Before climbing out, Sybil wordlessly handed him the drawings sent from Paris. It didn't occur to her how strange it might appear to a casual peer, handing Parisian dress sketches to her chauffeur for his opinion.

Branson took the portfolio and flipped through the pages. “Just the first few are the options for the presentation,” Sybil said, feeling oddly anxious as he looked them over. “The others are for the wardrobe the rest of the Season.”

His expression was carefully neutral as he examined the choices. Had it been thoughtless to solicit his opinion? What did he care about balls and debutantes?

Then: “Well, you know which one I like,” he said with a slightly crooked smile.

“Really? Which one?”

“Which do you like?” he pressed.

In truth, though they were all quite different, they were starting to look somewhat the same to Sybil, after studying them so much. “I like the striped circus elephant costume with the ten-foot nose.”

“And you think the royals won't remember you.”

“The green one, I suppose,” Sybil sighed.

“I'd call it emerald,” said Branson as he handed the portfolio book back, “but that's my favorite too, if I'm any Irishman at all.”

Emerald. Sybil flipped the portfolio again to consider the drawing with fresh eyes. Granny had been advocating for the blush pink, which was the most fashionable color in London that year, and reason enough for Sybil to consider choosing something else. The green—emerald, rather—was pretty, and her mother would be pleased to think Sybil would stand out (as much as was proper.) Now that there was at least some personal connection to attach, the dress seemed elevated above its peers.

“What's your favorite color, milady?” asked Branson, glancing back at her. “You could request that.”

Her favorite color was the dimming of the sky before sunset, but she wasn't sure how to ask for it. “Is there such a color as gloaming?”

For some reason this made him smile at her, a slow kind of smile that made her cheeks heat up unaccountably. Feeling suddenly awkward, she laid the portfolio on the seat and left the car, looking back with an embarrassed little smile as Branson exited the Renault to wait for her return.

Later that night, once Sybil had retrieved her writing paper and returned home to change, Mama asked over the gentle clink of china at supper: “Did you give any thought to your presentation gown, darling?”

“The emerald one, I think,” she said. Her mother looked pleased.

written in a fit of nostalgia! Anyone here still? lol.
