This was missing: * When naming the capitals of Europe ("we have confirmed cases in Bonn, Amsterdam, Rome and Madrid; we have suspected cases in London and Athens"), the Stargate team obviously used a sixteen-year old map of Europe, before the capital of Germany was moved from the small town of Bonn to Germany's major metropolis, Berlin. Don't see why, so back in now. --FlammingoHey 17:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because they weren't naming European capitals, just infected cities. JBK405 23:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In one part of the epp, Dr Lee is testing stuff for the anti-prior device using "Dark Pariah", what is the real song name and artist of that song? --Heruur 18:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh...you just said the title is "Dark Pariah". JBK405 03:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changed town name to Waterloo. I'm watching this episode now and it was incorrectly named in the original article. 666-93-666 (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grapple X, I'm very happy and inspired to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

  • I think the layout needs to be fixed.

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. All the best, --Seabuckthorn  23:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick review! Which paragraphs do you feel should be rearranged? I've tried to keep separate subjects separated, especially major scene changes in the plot section, but I could probably merge some of them together. GRAPPLE X 00:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Grapple X, very much for writing such excellent articles. I feel that the last paragraph of the plot section "That night, Black answers a ..." can be merged with the previous one. But I'd leave that to your good judgement. --Seabuckthorn  22:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done. Thanks for the review! GRAPPLE X 23:02, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn  22:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
