I clarified pronoun antecedents because the assumption must be that anyone reading this episode summary hasn't actually seen the episode and doesn't know who "he" is in any given sentence. The plotline is completely different depending on who "he" is in any given sentence. What is the value to the article by reverting these changes? - Julietdeltalima (talk) 00:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
@ Bilorv do you think this page would be sufficient to be promoted to GA status? Flowerkiller1692 ( talk) 19:32, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

I'll be doing this review over the coming days. The article looks to be in pretty good shape from a quick read. :3 F4U ( they /it) 03:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
@ Dcdiehardfan Here are my comments from a first run through. Sorry its a little late, irl stuff and some other Wikipedia stuff caught up to me. I'll hold it for 7 days. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 15:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
In addition MEAWW is not a reliable source and is considered a clickbait/tabloid sort of source. It's been discussed before and is also listed at WP:KO/RS#UR (which is how I'm familiar with it)
I think this lede doesn't adequately cover the entire body and I think there's room for expansion. Let me know if you need more assistance on this.
repeatedlyIs this necessary?
forcing him to flee.Its been a while since I watched this, but the plot should include the ending of the episode.
the houseis redundant and was a bad suggestion on my part. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 18:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
In her phone call with Gene, Seehorn opined that- Rephrase so it doesn't imply that Seehorn opined this literally during her phone call during the episode.
To emphasize the pain of the moment, Gilligan had opted to make the scene longer and contain minimal dialogue so that the audience could understand that it was "pathetic and meant to be".). I think part of this is because the section introduces new factoids in a strange order (more recent to older, as opposed to the oldest to most recent).
only needed"need" has a specific meaning-- Gilligan says they only did two takes.
despite the scene not progressing the plot much fartherRephrase
Use quotes only for illustration, not because you can't think of an alternative. Idiosyncratic turns of phrase make for nice magazine pull quotes, but here are subordinate to your need to impart the review's essence and tighten the flow between sentences. Consider whether each word serves the paragraph's point.(I believe the text around the second quote also essentially repeats Harley)
There appears to be a bit of imbalance in the reception section. Reading the NYTimes review when verifying sources, I can see that it states that Jesse's casting felt like stunt casting that didn't add to the episode. They also stated that Jeff's car wreck seemed implausible.
, adding the musical score and black-and-white footage helped contribute to a "paranoid noir vibe" throughout the episodewhich doesn't make sense? While I think the reception section has definite room for improvement, outside of these concerns I don't see anything holding back the GA promotion. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 18:20, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
