TV.com doesn't look reliable to me - it has links to copyvios on it and is flooded with ads...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 21:11, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, TV.com isn't reliable for cultural references and other stuff, but it definitely is to confirm broadcast dates, and mostly for writers of the episode. I can swap to IMDb if you wish (I personally find that a little better). Or, if you want, I can find another site, either way, I'm okay with it. Qst (talk) 00:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I've replaced the TV.com reference with a Tv.Msn.com reference, which appears reliable. I must note, however, that the new Msn reference does not cover the bit in the sentence about who the writer and director is. I can confirm the information is correct, and will be reverted back if ever sneakily changed, not that this is any exception. Qst (talk) 00:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just add the Cite episode template or add the DVD ref.? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:18, 22 June 2008 (UTC

Well, it seems more logical to cite a secondary source, rather than episode itself. Qst (talk) 18:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very true, the source works fine. But, I was just saying about citing the episode/adding the DVD as ref. to the article. Anyways, congrats you know have a GA in your midst. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural References?

Is the serial killer scene a reference to Hit Man? Does anyone know if the DVD commentary is exhaustive in it's listing of cultural references? Melink14 (talk) 15:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Gavin Dunne credited here the same Gavin Dunne that is the mind behind the Escapists' Miracle of Sound? Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 01:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
