Too Soon

This episode is nearly a month away from airing and this article does not really provide any useful information. Is there any reason why we shouldn't redirect it for now? JDDJS (talk) 23:47, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My vote is to simply let the article snowball. It will likely be a GA in less than 2 months time. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:02, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to let it continue. We've had articles published with about this much information before, some of which is, contra the initial assertion, useful, and new data accretes very quickly. Additional useful facts are steadily appearing on the forthcoming episodes, including this one. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:40, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New reviewer

There's a new review column on the music in Glee episodes (with some stuff about the episode itself) in the Washington Post (which had a pretty useless blog review last season); the one for this episode is here, in case you find it interesting. I didn't discover it in time to use it in "The First Time", but I will use it when I start work on "I Kissed a Girl". BlueMoonset (talk) 06:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changed characterization of Critical reception

When I was doing a copyedit of the article just now, it seemed to me that calling the reception "mixed" or the critics "polarized" was harsher than the actual reviews being cited. Positive reviewers included Futterman, West, Flandez, Hankinson, and Slezak (and Gajewski, though you weren't quoting him for that purpose). Both Reiter and Wightman (and Canning, at 7 of 10 and "Good", plus maybe Sullivan) seemed at least mildly positive, certainly more plus than minus. Only VanDerWerff (C) and Poniewozik were on the negative side of the middle, and not necessarily so far to the other pole that "polarize" is warranted.

So I changed those characterizations to "mostly positive" or "more favorable than not", because the "Critical reception" text didn't support a more negative reading. I hope you're happy with the copyedit; I did try to hew to the style of this season's phrasings in the lede and ratings sections. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You did a fine job. Thanks! :) — DAP388 (talk) 03:57, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
