[La] séquence prégénérique est un lieu clef de la sérialité. Placé avant le générique, il constitue à la fois une entrée dans la fiction, un retour à un monde fictionnel que l'on connaît déjà, et une ouverture vers quelque chose d'inédit. Jouant sur les codes, et les effets de reprises, il se construit à la fois comme entité autonome et comme moment d'articulation entre un avant et un après, tant à l'échelle de l'épisode qu'à l'échelle de la série. 4, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9quence%20pr%C3%A9g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rique
