This proved to be a MAJOR overhaul of what I had arranged in my previous attempt. As it turns out, I was totally off in my belief that there was no distinction between pre- and post-lava episodes. There actually IS a clear run of episodes that take place before and after the Technodrome gets trapped in hardened lava. But of course, because the episodes aired in both syndication and on CBS Saturday mornings, those episodes all got jumbled up.
So I did my best to straighten everything out and add annotations at the bottom of the article to explain my choices. I also found some stealth continuity between a few episodes I'd missed before.
No plans on diving into Season 5 anytime soon, but I'm satisfied for now that Season 4 is more accurate. Between the European Vacation episodes, the syndication episodes and the CBS episodes, that whole run of storytelling was a total mess. Hopefully this cleans it up once and for all!
