I don't know who put these in order, but they should be in line with thetvdb's ordering system, which is the one most services use.

@el-dubs Doesn't help that todays ep (The Star Beast) doesn't seem to be anywhere here. And is S00E162 on thetvdb, which conflicts with the "Waking the Dead" special here.

Well I've watched the first episode. I'll comment later on this. As a child of the 80's, I love the original! There was chemistry between the Sam and Admiral. They linked the show together with the constant shifting cast and time period. My comment about this new show is this, it tries too hard to focus on Ben thoughts or feelings. It thinks less about saving someone/something in the time period he is stuck in. I ask, why do we need more characters based on Ben original time period? They don't add value to the story (They seem very emotional), in-fact this distracts from the problems and challenges of Ben ward/mission. I think the budget for this show was tight. So they spent less time trying to make a show about time travel (More props and locations) and more drama about people worried about someone stuck in time travel. If it was me, I would use this should show to focus on some of the best and worst periods of our history. Eg War in Afghanistan or Iraq, the signing of The Paris Agreement (Climate change), women's rights, LGBT rights... and so much more.

@daniel-e-jones-me-com Yeah I agree with this. While I'm watching this series, it feels very stretched out, with small bits of progress at the end of each episode, pushing the resolution to the next episode, then the next etc.
