    • "have their adolescence well after adolescence. It took Jiminy a long time to figure out how to get away from the life he was living, and I think a lot of people feel like that."[1] (Random check on source 1, successful, as below)
    • "thrilled to get it," … "Someone who you might think … of people feel like that".[1] (Random check on source 1, successful, "Jane Espenson: The episode was sort of handed to me, but I was thrilled to get it. It’s what I would have picked. I love taking a character like Jiminy and exploring them. He’s someone who you might think of as being part of someone else’s story – even in Pinocchio, he’s all about someone else’s arc. I like taking that character and reminding us all that everyone is the hero of their own story. I related to him because of that, and also because it was such an identifiable story — the way so many people have their adolescence well after adolescence. It took Jiminy a long time to figure out how to get away from the life he was living, and I think a lot of people feel like that.")
    • "so engaging" … "incorporated a third, separate modern storyline" … "each storyline got just enough attention."[1] (Random check on source 1, successful, "… Storybrooke/Fairy Tale format, but incorporated a third, separate modern storyline for which the situation with Henry …")
    • "intimate character moments, particularly the scenes between Archie/Jiminy and the boys in his life," … "navigated both Archie and Jiminy’s journeys from being pawns to being their own men with precision and warmth."[1] (Random check on source 1, successful, "But the best part of the episode, and the thing that always tends to be Espenson’s strength, were the intimate character moments, particularly the scenes between Archie/Jiminy and the boys in his life.")
    • "fantastic concept". She explained, "What's the modern take on Jiminy Cricket and Rumpelstiltskin? What would their issues be in the real world? The beauty of the production, the care and the effort and, honestly, the expense that was put into it just made clear that was a project done with a lot of attention and love."[3]
    • "in that they have a large ensemble and what they do is that they take a few characters and they kind of take them, effectively on a deep dive."[6]
    • "treading into people's imaginations," but ultimately decided that "they cast me for a reason because there are some qualities in me that they obviously recognize for the story they want to tell."[7]
    • "sort of a surrogate father figure" to Henry, Sbarge admitted that the script "made me weep because what they came up with is so lovely and magical and delightful."[8]
    • "what you get to see on this trip are the fire rings he had to walk through to get to a place where he could evolve to develop a sense of doing the right thing."[5]
    • "proved to be an undeniably satisfying hour of television, deepening our understanding of Archie/Jiminy's character and giving us some welcome development in Mary Margaret and David's tragic romance. I don't know about you, but I really could watch a whole hour of those two playing hangman and innocently flirting and need nothing else from the show."[19]
    • "ragged on Robert Carlyle initially, his campy Rumpel is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of this show."[13]
    • "Gilmore struggles to make a connection with his character, so it always looks like he’s reading lines," … .[9]
    • "this episode juggles the expansive character roster of this series better than its predecessors."[9]
    • "never liked Henry as much as I did in this episode," … .[20]
    • "most touching backstory" … "the transformation of Dr. Hopper was moving, and this episode maybe felt the most like a fairytale of the stories we've seen so far."[20]

This article is a very promising GA nominee. I’m glad to see your work here. I’m putting the article on hold. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 09:27, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing. I will get to addressing your comments within the next day or two. Regards, Ruby 2010/2013 04:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No worries and no rush. Take your time. I'm removing it from hold so that you are under no pressure. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:37, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reviewing! I have addressed most of your concerns (except one: I just wasn't sure what else from the Reviews section I could incorporate into the lead -- its main points are already summarized well (IMO), and I believe that the Reviews section itself is long enough. It'd be great if you could expand upon your thoughts on this. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 02:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! You're right. I misjudged it. Apologies. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:59, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
