• Intro: ""Zero Sum" featured the final appearance in the series by Morris Panych; and saw the return of the virus-carrying bees which featured in the season-opener "Herrenvolk" and would later return in the 1998 feature film." I would break into two sentences and writing like this: "'Zero Sum' featured the final appearance in the series by Morris Panych. In addition, the episode saw the return of the virus-carrying bees which featured in the season-opener "Herrenvolk" and would later return in the 1998 feature film."
• Plot: "The Smoking Man refuses to provide any details on what he has covering up." I think the 'has' should either be 'was' or 'is'
• Production: "The producers, knowing that they would have to write an episode without Dana Scully, decided it was not fair to have David Duchovny carry the same workload as in a normal episode considering her absence, so they decided to write an episode where his involvement would also be light." Sort of lengthy and uses the word 'decide' twice
• Production: "This resulted in the decision to write, for the second year in a row, an episode focused on Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi)." Is it necessary to mention Pileggi again?
• Also, Maybe it's just me, but I think the episode got mixed to positive reviews, rather than just mixed, based on two being largely positive and one being less than stellar, but I don't know. Not a huge deal
• I added the Spotnitz quote as rationale for the screenshot, and now it looks good.

Those are the only things I can spot. On hold for seven days.--Gen. Quon (talk) 19:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
