 Done
  • featured... featured (use of same word in lead; switch it up)

  • For the production section, you jump into the "crossover event" pretty abruptly. I know the lead already talks about it, but you need to write the body as if the lead isn't there (hope that makes sense)

  • Who is Mike Barker? A writer? Producer? For which series?
 Done

The cultural references will not be reliable sourced, unfortunately. As for the reviews, those three were the only ones available. I can reformat it to make it look larger. - DAP388 (talk) 00:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
