General comments

• Article is stable
• Images are good
• Earwig score comes back very high at 79.8%. The plot summary is almost a word-for-word copy of the TVTropes recap page. Since TVTropes is another wiki, I won't fail the article for this, but revamping the plot summary to stray from that is probably a good move.

 Fixed Rewrote plot summary.

Improved to Good Article status by Some Dude From North Carolina (talk). Self-nominated at 12:27, 7 April 2021 (UTC).

• The article was promoted to GA on 6 April, long enough, referenced and neutral. Earwig flagged a long quote and this which is probably them copying from the article. The hooks are referenced and interesting. However, the article does not state Janet is a guide. Images in the article are free. QPQ done. Corachow (talk) 19:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

@Corachow: Added a mention of her being a guide in #Casting. Hope this clears all remaining issues. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 19:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, good to go. Corachow (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
