More for the Critical reaction section

People are reacting "mixed" more than the positive that I've seen on the article. Critics and viewers alike have gone as far as calling it "a stunt" and have even said (sources on this can be found on Yahoo!) that it's a too soon moment, as it's only been 4 months since the Sandy Hook school shooting in December. --Matt723star (talk) 15:59, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, i've seen pretty much complete negative coverage of the episode, with a positive review thrown in here and there. SilverserenC 07:53, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Brad?

edit

Brad Ellis returns in this episode. As with all episodes he's in, he's uncredited (apart from as "accompanist" towards the end of the episode", so there aren't any suitable citations. But I think he should be mentioned as having made a return, since he's a regular fixture of the programme, plus he hasn't been seen in the show since Swan Song. Can anyone find a source that reports his return, so we can add him to the guest cast listing? Pookiyama (talk) 15:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

People who are given co-star credit, as Brad was once, are generally not listed. We simply don't mention people in the production section unless they're full guest stars (or later become guest stars). There are almost never mentions in reliable sources of any band members. You seem to have missed Brad's appearance in "I Do" (which was similarly not mentioned). BlueMoonset (talk) 16:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
He was mentioned in the episode after all. That's not common. -- Henriok (talk) 11:53, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
The floppy-haired bass player was mentioned in "Wonder-ful", but he shouldn't get a mention either. These aren't notable appearances; the mention may not be common (Brad was called by name in "Theatricality" to play in the "Poker Face" duet) but that's trivia, not notability. This level of detail may be appropriate for the Glee wikia or a similar venue, but not for an encyclopedia, which is what Wikipedia is. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
