I happen to be reading about W.C. Fields and saw a familiar reference in his dislike for "children, dogs, and women" I think Spike makes a similar statement at the end of Jammin With Edward. Might want to link the reference. -Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.46.0.13 ( talk) 22:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah you're right about Spike's complaints, although whether it is in fact related to W.C. Fields or mere coincidence I can't say. -Robobvious —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.64.228 ( talk) 17:13, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Some episodes are too big, others, too small. I'll be doing what I can with the eps as soon as I refresh my memory after watching adult swim. -- Makaio 02:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Is Ballad of Fallen Angels a song? What scene is it in during the episode? Highlandlord 09:23, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It is. Its the one where Spike is falling out the window after fighting Vicious. New Order 01:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Battle Ape is correct, the song that plays in Episode 5 of Cowboy Bebop as Spike falls through the stain glass window of the church is called Green Bird. The song that plays as he is walking to the church is the female vocal version of Walk in the Rain, often called Rain. I am unsure whether a song by the name of Ballad of Fallen Angels actually exists, for so far every one I find is merely Green Bird with that title. -Robobvious —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.64.228 ( talk) 17:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
A " renaissance man"? Shouldn't this be " reconnaissance man"? Shinobu 01:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
" Renaissance man": someone good in a variety of fields, particularly in both arts and sciences. Threefourfive 19:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
According to the English version of the Anime Guides (published by TokyoPop), the names Tong Pou and Mad Pierrot were both taken from two songs by Japanese band YMO. YMO got the name Mad Pierrot from the Jean-Luc Godard film "Pierrot Le Fou" which means "Pierrot the insane" in French.
It's on Page 14 of Volume 5.

Many other television series on Wikipedia have individual pages for each episode. Any reason why Bebop shouldn't? -- user.lain 05:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that the table is becoming gigantic. It might be time to split into separate pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.52.215.67 ( talk) 03:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I was watching the whole series again, and I've seen every episode title is written in katakana, except for Pierrot Le Fou, which is written in Kanji. Does anyone know the reason why? Cuz Pierrot Le Fou is a french word, isn't it suppose to be written in katakana and not kanji? RedEyesMetal 10:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Being that Serial Experiments Lain came out after the first run of Cowboy Bebop, I don't think you could really say that it's an homage to SEL if it came out first. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pandaguy87 ( talk • contribs) 09:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
True, but you have to admit the similarities, so it's worth mentioning. I know that SEL wasn't really inspired by other animes, but rather real life, and perhaps other Japanese horror movies. Still, I believe that the CB episode is still connected to SEL somehow. " Everything is connected", remember? :) -- Freespirit1981 00:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, I know that SEL is influnced by things in the real world and horror movies. The Wiki article on the series says so. As for my comment about the two being connected, yes that's just a theory, but you still can't say that they don't have similarities. I may be new to editing,but I don't need to be told that fan theories don't belong in Wiki articles. :)-- Freespirit1981 01:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the following information from the introduction:
All of that is information that belongs in the Cowboy Bebop article, not the List of Cowboy Bebop episodes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Battle Ape ( talk • contribs) 05:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
Seems to me that it would be a good idea for each episode to have a screen shot from it. I can do this in a while when I have time, unless someone else has some ready or more time.-- Helgers7 19:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Someone said that it's possible that the episode "Toys in the Attic" is staged. How can it be staged? It's fiction! Unless I'm missing some anime fan lingo, here, I think it should be changed to say that it's possible that it "takes place out side of the show's continuity".
Please remove the table and use normal heading markup. The table provides no real function here, as the article is not very tabular in nature. Also, if you use headings, the article will look better and will be easier to navigate and edit. Shinobu 22:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
The episode makes a reference to "Route 66" (a song) in the episode some time around when Spike decides to "go in". Not sure how this musical reference was missed. Dfsghjkgfhdg ( talk) 01:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Article claims the carvings are done in the 'Nazca' style. I recognize at least one of the carvings is, in fact, taken from the English countryside. Possibly needs further research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.233.248 ( talk • contribs) 18:43, June 9, 2008 Some (perhaps not all) definitely are in the Nazca style, the spider most certainly is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.64.228 ( talk) 17:27, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
I just added that the title could be a reference to the song Beth by Kiss. -Robobvious 96.233.64.228 ( talk) 17:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
I realize the impulse to curtail original research on Wikipedia is important, but noting that the episode titled "Bohemian Rhapsody" is an allusion to the Queen song, "Bohemian Rhapsody," seems less like research and more like a self-evident observation. There's a hint of induction, being that you need to know that many of the episodes are named for famous songs, but this does seem a bit like overkill. The same implies, tho to a somewhat lesser degree to less statistically improbable song / episode titles, such as "Toys in the Attic," etc. Just my 2¢. Squidwiggle ( talk) 06:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
The episode description claims it is one of two episodes not named after a musical concept; however, an elegy is a funeral song. 68.116.159.234 ( talk) 09:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
So.. I noticed there's no mention of Decker's character looking like Woody Allen? I mean, his hair, glasses, and nervous nature? I mean, yeah, he's pretty minor and he does die, but, I think it's proof enough that the kiddy-looking place Faye found him in was named "Woody's".

Are the air dates in this list correct? There's a pretty glaring discrepancy right now in that session XX, which was aired when the series was canceled midway through, is listed with an original air date that is before any of the others. How could it have been aired in the middle, after the series had run for a while and then been canceled, and yet have an air date that's a year before any of the others?
I did check the original air dates on IMDB, and they're very different from the ones listed here. Those air dates make sense, and put session XX right in the middle, but are those ones correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.255.8 ( talk) 16:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
...is actually the title of a 1992 track by Underground Resistance, so the article's suggestion that it is merely a reference to the genre of Jazz is incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.156.37 ( talk) 12:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
This is not true:
Breaker 1-9 means "I am about to speak on CB Channel 19" and Breaker 1-4 means "I am about to speak on CB Channel 14"
Also, I'm not one of the scriptwriters, so I can't say if the usage in this episode "originated" from one of the scriptwriters first hearing it in the movie Convoy, but the actual usage of the Breaker term pre-dates the movie, so "originates" is probably the wrong word to use here in any event. If it is true that the scriptwriters used the Breaker term because they saw it in Convoy, "inspired" would be a better word to use. If the scriptwriters' intention/inspiration is unknown, then this comment is speculation and should be labeled as such or removed.
If there are no replies to this comment by 2011 January 31, I will edit the original and delete this comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.244.70.65 ( talk) 18:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Is there a source that can confirm this, because it seems like the movie can take place in almost any part of the series.--Kingplatypus 01:57, 22 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingplatypus ( talk • contribs)
Why is there a citation needed for this? It's the name of a jazz standard, the series is for most part inspired by jazz, and the episode titles are almost all musical in nature. We can connect A to B without having to source it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.45.109.10 ( talk) 20:45, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Many of the references to the anime guides seem extraneous. First of all, the guides were published by TokyoPop, a company that licensed the Bebop brand; it was not published by the studios or individuals who created the show. Second, many of the citations to the guides are for speculative pieces of trivia. There needs to be a distinction in this article between factual trivia and speculative trivia. For example, there are lots of citations that say certain characters in the show "appear like" various real life people. E.g. Doohan "appears similar to that of film director Nicholas Ray". Well, unless the creative team intended to make Doohan in the image of Nicholas Ray, that speculation shouldn't be in the article. Noting that a character looks like someone doesn't make that a relevant piece of information. These characters may look like any one of dozens of people. It is only relevant if the creators intended to make that character look like that person. The bottom line is that these pieces of information need to be verified before they're put in. Of course, some information in the anime guides are absolutely true and appropriate for the article. But it's a case by case basis. ask123 ( talk) 07:18, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
