Comments

• No dab links, ELs look good, and the screenshot seems suitable
• Add critical reaction to lead
  • Done. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• Identify who Alex Krycek is (like you did with Mulder). Likewise for X and any other pertinent characters you feel further explanation is needed
  • Have added a few additional asides to explain some characters, and have added actor names as well to explain guest stars a bit. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• "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)
  • Barry's. Fixed that. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• 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
  • Done. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• Indicate Carter is series creator
  • Done. Linked as well. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• "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..."
  • Fixed. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• Add guest stars to production section (all info in lead should be in body of article)
  • Have added some mention of them and have also listed them in the plot section too. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• The lead could also mention recap a little more of the production section, such as Anderson's pregnancy
  • Done. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• "In a retrospective of the second season..." Shouldn't it be "In retrospect of the second season..."? Or am I just reading it wrong?
  • I think you've got it wrong. The article is a retrospective, in that looks back on the season after it's all finished. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
• Add space between p./pp. and number
  • Done. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

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)

Thanks again for another review, I appreciate it. I think I've addressed your concerns but let me know if I've missed anything. GRAPPLE X 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Also, author for ref 12? Ruby 2010/2013 02:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Took a bit of digging but I got it. GRAPPLE X 02:47, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Article looks good. Pass for GA. Nice work! Ruby 2010/2013 02:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again! GRAPPLE X 02:57, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Who is Dwight?

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)

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)Quiddity99

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)
