Shouldn't "5" be linked to The X-Files (season 5), not the episodes' list
Yes. I have changed this.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the production code referenced?
Added.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the running time referenced?
The actual episode. You don't need to reference the episode in an article about the episode.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, actually, it is the running time without commercials. There is something at the iTunes Store that you could reference, for X-Files Season 5. TBran dl ey 20:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Or the DVD. Either way, its really splitting hairs.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the lede, I see "The episode was nominated for seven Emmy Awards and won one. The episode". Two sentences start with "the episode" there. Perhaps change one to "this entry", etc.

Perhaps rearrange/move some images around. See MOS:IMAGELOCATION, which says images shouldn't start in a section at left side. But, there are little exepection, so. I don't really know

"comedy animation show" sounds kind of strange/weird for some. Change to "animated television sitcom", "animated comedy series", or something else
Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In Production, link monster of the week since its the first time mentioned in the article. Also, monster of the week says "Monster-of-the-Week" in the lede. Which one? Probably go with the way used in the lede, "Monster-of-the-Week"
Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
and stands apart. Use "which" instead of "and". Also, it isn't the same as way used in lede. Choose one for that full sentence. In lead, it says is unconnected to the overarching mythology of The X-Files. In production, its different.
Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Link wider mythology to Mythology of The X-Files. Linked in lede, in addition to that.

"movie" should IMO be changed to "film". Sounds like more of a word for Wikipedia

"his best episode score that season". Huh.
Fixed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The latter is played at the end of the episode when the agents take the Great Mutato to a Cher concert.[12] The character". Two sentences start with the. Change it up a bit.

Only link "sixth season", without "episode" linked in themes.
Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
""The Post-Modern Prometheus" is the most obvious reference to Frankenstein made by the series, although traces of the story are seen elsewhere, in the first season episode "Young at Heart", the sixth season episode "The Beginning" and in the overreaching mythology of the show that revolves around shadowy Syndicate leaders who salvage alien spacecraft for their own technological use and create human-alien hybrids." Wow; that's a big sentence. Merge into two, perhaps.

"the fourth season's "Home". Remove "the".

Small sub-sections make the article kind of small jumbled.
Don't really see why. They follow a pattern, and this article is modeled on "Triangle".--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. It's fine. I don't what to be that WP:IDONTLIKEIT person. Cheers, TBran dl ey 20:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ref. 3: How are there two publishers. One should be in italics.
One is a company, and the other is a website. The company shouldn't be italicized and the website shouldn't either. One doesn't HAVE to be in italics.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ref. 26: WP:DASH problems.
Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why do some references end the url title with a comma, while some are with a period. Example: "Ref. 25 uses comma, and Ref. 26 uses periods."
I have no idea. It's just the formatting of the citation templates and I don't know how to fix that.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then. No worries about it. TBran dl ey 20:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remove external wikia link which contains nothing worthwhile not already present in the article. Consider WP:ELNO.
I don't see why it needs to go. It does add something. It's also in all the other articles.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FBI special agent Dana Scully - Since we already said they're partners, I don't think this "FBI" is necessary.

Angrily confronts Pollidori Sr. but he ends up dead? Does Pollidori Jr. kill him?
Clarified.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The episode was heavily inspired by Mary Shelley's famous novel Frankenstein." - Is "famous" needed?
Removed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"found it difficult to reconcile Mary Shelley's unbelievable tale with the style of the show." - No action required, just a bit of snark: he found a science-fiction story unable to be reconciled with a science-fiction show, with aliens? Star Trek would have had a parallel world based on the novel, like the gangster one.
Yeah, it is rather silly. Oh Chris Carter...--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a link to James Whale?
It should already be there...--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great Mutato in the Simpsons? Huh? What episode? I've watched every episode of the first 10 seasons and don't recall seeing a Mutato.
Whoops. Had to re-listen. It was a comic, not an episode.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
