lost episode?

Am I dreaming? I thought the last episode of aeon flux (during its MTV airing) was one in which she dies, is carried off to sea on a golden dentist's chair, while blue mermen are licking her toes. This entire sequence is then shown to be taken from a comic book a couple of young boys are reading in a comic store.

I have the boxed set (dvd and video) and I can't find the d*rn sequence.

Has anyone seen this/ know which episode I mean?

That's the Liquid TV short "PILOT".

It wasn't the last, but the first episode. It's on disc 3.

We had a choice to put the shorts and extras on Disc 1 and the half hours on 2 and 3.
I don't think people need to have seen the shorts in order to understand the 10 half hours.
I'd rather people seeing the show for the first time not to get their expectations set from watching the shorts. That happened during the show's broadcast run, and many who were expecting the series to be like the LTV shorts were apparently disappointed that the half hours had dialog and less graphic violence. In the process, they were unable to see what the episodes DID have to offer on their own.
I like both formats equally. The shorts are like poems; the episodes are more like novellas.
