ReGenesis

I considered it best to archive some talk about season 2 due to spoilers. See the archive box on the right. --jibun_{≈παντα ρει≈} (keskustele!) 10:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Lack of ReGenesis season 4 on hulu.com

"As of April 2012 the show can also be seen on Hulu.com." A inacurate statement as hulu.com lacks season 4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.23.125.166 (talk) 01:00, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

The lead protagonist's name — or why I just reverted User:Nftrot's edit

It's pretty clear that David Sandström prefers to spell his surname with the umlaut 'ö' and not with the plain English/Latin character 'o'. One particular example can be seen on the fourth episode of the second season ("Dim & Dimmer"), where the subway dweller Owen rummages thru David's belongings and finds his NorBAC business card which shows the original Swedish spelling. This fact is hardly surprising considering his father is a first generation immigrant from Sweden, and Canada being officially bilingual with French and all it is bound to be more tolerant than other "anglo-saxon" countries to proper names with "funny" diacritics. Just to say that there is more than A-Z in the alphabet nowadays, especially when one considers people's names. —jibun_{≈παντα ρει≈} (keskustele!) 08:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

that's not fair, way to generalize. my social studies teacher is from Germany and he keeps his umlaut in America.

Major overhaul

Season 3 has just ended and this article hasn't been updated (by anyone but me, looking at it) since the end of season 2. I've restructured it in a number of ways:

• A whole lot of Recurring Characters have been removed. If they haven't been seen since season 1, or died after only an episode of two, there is really no point in mentioning them. The three I've left should be rewritten in a style that makes sense.
• Cleared up the Main Characters list. Included the characters' nationalities, as that is part of the central premise of the series.
• Moved relevant info to Interactive & Other Media, because it's not about the show per se.
• Added International Broadcast info table. 203.229.111.196 15:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

While there are probably some recurring characters that should be removed, I think there are a few that are missing. Mainly Lilith and Cal. The reasoning behind the inclusion of Lilith was she was a very predominant character throughout season one, and has been mentioned numerous time in season 2 and 3. While she may no longer appear she is a character he keeps coming up. Not only that, she has appeared at least as many (if not more) episodes as Owen has, yet he "remains" a recurring character As for Cal, while he has not appeared since season one, he still was a very key element to that season. This article is about ReGenesis on a whole, not just the most recent season - and these two characters we incredibly important to Season 1. Also, Caroline Morrison and Jill should be moved back into Main Characters. While Caroline is now dead - she was the Norbac Exec. Director and appeared in every epsisode of season 1 and 2 - certainly enough to denote a main character. As for Jill, she also played a key role in season 1 and 2 and even made an apperance in season 3. While I guess you could still consider her a "recurring" character I still feel she denotes a Main Character. Remember, this is an article about the series as a whole, not the most recent season. If you don't want to do the changes yourself I'd be glad to. Cheers. :: ehmjay 19:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Areas needing improvement

• A better description of the show, beyond what NORbac is and what little has been said of the Sanstrom character.
• An explanation or acknowledgement of (spoiler) the event between Season 2 and 3, which killed off Caroline Morrison snd left Mayko an amputee. 203.229.111.196 15:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

This really needs a better explanation of what this show is about. Someone mentioned it on a website so I looked it up and after reading this I've still no real idea what this show is about. Is it like the X-Files? Is it a reality show with some fictinalized narrative background? I have no idea. --74.129.228.234 (talk) 19:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, what it is is a show like CSI, where scientists try to solve problems. Unlike CSI the scientists work in a lab designed to protect the society from epidemics and pandemics of diseases and also the fact that the scientific consultant obviously knows more about science than the one in CSI (i.e. you won't see anyone centrifuge something to separate to phases and then vortex it shortly afterwards). Something like that. Winterbay (talk) 17:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Areas needing to be updated

The show has now finished it's final season, so it should be reflected in the content of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.184.188.252 (talk) 02:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Has there been an official announcement about the status of the series? The season 4 finale left a lot of threads hanging; I'd be surprised if it didn't come back for a fifth season. Spaced1999 (talk) 13:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Jill Langston

Jill Langston (Sarah Strange) (seasons 1—2) — American. Lead Virologist before leaving NorBAC at end of season 2.

That is way to vague considering the ending of season 2. Is she dead, did she quit? --Revan's Exile (talk) 09:57, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

'No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

ReGenesis → ReGenesis (Canadian TV series) – Not only would this change conform with other similar articles, but I believe this article may be using the wrong template as I see the italics tags in the title when using Firefox on Windows (they don't show up in IE). The template used by most titles using the "(TV series)" title do not have this problem per a search on "canadian tv series". JoyceD (talk) 06:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment what other articles? what template? 70.24.248.23 (talk) 07:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose. Titles of distinct articles may differ only in their detail. Many such differences involve capitalization, separation or non-separation of components, or pluralization. --TorriTorri(^talk/_contribs) 11:27, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose - disambiguation not required. – ukexpat (talk) 15:04, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose. Per Wikipedia:Disambiguation, no reasonable case has been made yet as to why such disambiguation is required. The "(TV series)" qualifier is only needed to resolve conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous, or when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia articles. It is for this reason some articles like Dallas (TV series) have them and some like Cheers and Seinfeld don't. Furthermore, the nominator appears to be experiencing a repeated bug that has been occurring in IE, and has received advice about it on Wikipedia:Help desk#Italic tags in titles seen in Firefox on Windows; this is also not a sufficient reason for a page move. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:47, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose A parenthetical disambiguator should not be added unless it is necessary to distinguish this article from another article. No claim to this effect has been made. Kauffner (talk) 14:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose (snowball?) per WP:NC-TV and WP:D. Consensus is that preemptive disambiguation is not required. I see no reason to invoke WP:IAR in this case. --MegaSloth (talk) 22:06, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Possible copyright violation

Some of the text in the current article is the same as text here: http://deep-inc.com/portfolio/regenesis-extended-reality-game/ Since the text reads like marketing-speak, I'm inclined to assume it wasn't copied from Wikipedia to that site, but I'll hold off editing in case someone knows more and can comment here. 71.197.166.72 (talk) 17:13, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
