- This article has no Reception section, which I think is a major flaw. Xtzou (Talk) 19:52, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. The problem is I haven't been able to find any sources related to the Nielsen ratings or critical reviews for this particular episode. Since the article is still strong in the production aspects, I thought it could still meet GA standards as long as I wasn't actively neglecting any sources that talked about Reception. However, I will probably have access to some better news databases starting tomorrow and will take a closer look to see if I can dig anything up that I might have missed. — Hunter Kahn 19:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Humm. Really? There is nothing? That seems strange, considering the other episodes seem to be well documented. It is a huge omission, but ... if there is nothing nowhere ... Xtzou (Talk) 21:19, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

- Okay, I will take your word for it, since you apparently have the DVD etc. Otherwise, it is a fine article. Xtzou (Talk) 22:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
