Talk:Eli Stone

URL Forwarding

Shouldn't http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Eli_Stone_%28TV_series%29 forward here? I have no idea how to do that, just thought I'd mention it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.79.169 (talk) 01:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

liberal bias

Is this really appropriate to have in here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.206.125 (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I changed the heading of this article, note the definition of liberal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal I think this probably should be deleted though, or a list of the different episodes should take its place. If there is a criticism, possibly there should be a criticisms heading. JayhawkBrandon (talk) 04:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The "Liberal bias" (a.k.a. "Anti-war bias") section seems to be entirely original research; it is not supported by any reliable source (other than a generic source about Iraq that has nothing to do with Eli Stone). I deleted it. Eubulides (talk) 05:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The "liberal bias" angle is probably redundant. Most of the people who write for television are liberals, so what is the point in mentioning it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Liberal? As a non-American viewer the show seems religiously biased to me, if anything. All the characters seem to be religious to varying degrees and the speeches at court often make references to "God" and religiousness. While this may be a realistic depiction of American society, it seems awkward to someone coming from a more secular society. -- 88.153.29.247 (talk) 20:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I just tuned in on another episode of Eli Stone and who'd thunk: a female rabbi's husband has been told by God to turn down chemotherapy and Eli defends his decision in court by saying God's influence can't be disproved. If THAT isn't theist bullshit I don't know WHAT is. It's certainly biased (and most certainly SOMEONE's soapbox), but it's certainly not "liberal" any more than it is "republican" or "democrat". -- 88.153.24.75 (talk) 20:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Theism or non-theism aren't necessarily liberal or conservative. I think most everyone aware of them would deem Heather Mac Donald to be more conservative than Cornel West. This series is mostly of a strong progressivist bent on sexuality, economics, and most other matters. The most recent episode had strong rants against corporate greed and the Iraq War. (I do enjoy it anyway)--T. Anthony (talk) 11:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Argentina

Autism controversy

It seems that the autism section is written in a biased, unencyclopedic tone. Jickyincognito (talk) 02:09, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

I could see how tone could be biased, but how could it be "unencyclopedic"? More to the point, which words are biased; or what needs to be added to make the coverage encyclopedic? Eubulides (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

One part that I found biased was the idea that children who do not have vaccines are "endangered." There is a scientific-evidence-based movement against the use of childhood vaccines, and thus I felt this statement was biased and not objective. The sentence was rephrased.

Autism controversy 2

The section is somewhat long. I removed this [1] which was a completely irrelevant detail that had nothing to do with the show. The claims of one person may be relevant to the Thiomersal controversy article but not here. The rest of the section seems to be directly connected to the show, so I've let it stand for now. The only detail not directly linked to the show is "This hypothesis is not supported by scientific evidence, but has contributed to decreased vaccination rates that endanger children" however that's well supported and not simply the claims of one person, and is necessary to understand why the show's premise was controversial Nil Einne (talk) 10:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

The idea that it "endangers children" is not necessarily true. There is a strong evidence-based movement against the use of childhood vaccines that has nothing to do with the myth that they cause autism. I rephrased this sentence because it displayed bias. Crowclarice (talk) 02:29, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

--Additionally, it is completely inappropriate to have that as the first thing. This needs to be moved to the bottom/ some other subsection... Like reception or something that is common among other TV shows and movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.220.213.194 (talk) 02:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Out of date

"The first of these unaired episodes, " <-- this (under "Production") does not make sense anymore, as there are no more unaired episodes (everything up to 2x13 was aired) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.54.127.6 (talk) 02:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

notable trivia

There is a Christian singer by the name of Eli Stone, his "bands" name is just Eli, I think its a pretty notable coincidence, maybe someone should tag it? (assuming someone cares at this point)PS Im not sure how to tag names or anything so uh...sorry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.250.28 (talk) 22:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Airtime trivia

I propose replacing this utterly pointless trivia:

The unaired episodes, starting with "Sonoma", were broadcast in Ireland by RTÉ starting on March 13, 2009. The British Sci-Fi channel aired the final four episodes starting on March 16, 2009. The episode aired in Israel's Yes Stars Drama/HD channel and German TV channel Pro7 starting on March 31, 2009. Finally, in Australia, the Seven Network aired the final four episodes in the month of April, on Tuesdays at 22:30.

with something like:

The unaired episodes were broadcast in March and April on various networks in Ireland, the UK, Israel, and Australia.

Add that they're available on DVD/Blu-ray, if that's the case.

The current material's detail-mongering simply isn't encyclopedically pertinent (WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE). — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 00:39, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
