Comments

edit
  • No dab links, ELs look good, and the screenshot seems suitable
  • Add critical reaction to lead
  • Identify who Alex Krycek is (like you did with Mulder). Likewise for X and any other pertinent characters you feel further explanation is needed
  • "Mulder realizes that Barry is heading to a ski resort at Skyland Mountain, the location of his original abduction". Sorry, who's abduction? Mulder or Barry's? (Haven't watched the series)
  • Perhaps mention that Krycek secretly tried to kill Mulder (i.e. Mulder is unaware Krycek is behind the tram accident-or whatever it was). Don't think it clearly indicates that in its original state
  • Indicate Carter is series creator
  • "Chris Carter declared both the censors and the producers were reluctant on showing Scully in the trunk, but he "fought for that image" as he considered it conveyed the sense of danger to the character. " Not sure "declared" is the right word to use here; maybe change to "Chris Carter commented that both the censors and the producers were reluctant to show Scully in the trunk..."
  • Add guest stars to production section (all info in lead should be in body of article)
  • The lead could also mention recap a little more of the production section, such as Anderson's pregnancy
  • "In a retrospective of the second season..." Shouldn't it be "In retrospect of the second season..."? Or am I just reading it wrong?
  • Add space between p./pp. and number

Otherwise, it looks good. As always, I'll put this review on hold for seven days while the above comments get addressed/replied to. Please reply here when you have finished. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 00:30, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Who is Dwight?

edit

From the credits I see the character Dwight is played by Peter LaCroix, but who is Dwight anyway? After watching this episode I never see or hear the name Dwight. It can't be Duane Barry as he's credited with another actor. My only suspicion is of the Tram Operator guy at Skyland Mountain, but we never clearly see his name-tag or hear his name. So who is Dwight? DrZygote214 (talk) 21:41, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dwight is the Tram Operator. I don't think he's named in the episode, but Peter LaCroix is the actor who plays the Tram Operator. Quiddity99 (talk) 19:25, 27 August 2014 (UTC)Quiddity99Reply
I forgot to add, is he mentioned like in a director's commentary? I only have the slim versions of each season so idk. The name Dwight must be mentioned somewhere in some official manner other than the credits...I hope. DrZygote214 (talk) 03:34, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
