GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:The Getaway (Dexter)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Overall this article is pretty good, though I have a couple concerns:

Can you put the actors alongside the characters in the plot? (I had assumed it was common practice)
The way the plot reads, it feels like I'd have to have been already watching it to make sense of it. It's almost overly simplistic in a way. Namely, it starts with "Arthur confronts Dexter at the station, revealing his true identity." What station? Which one's true identity? Those who have seen it could answer all this, but those unfamiliar could be reading it too.

The other sections are okay, so I'll put this on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:20, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strangely, I thought I had expanded the plot section, but the changes I thought I made aren't there. I guess my edit didn't go through and I failed to notice, somehow. Sorry about that, but I've made the changes now and I think they address your concerns. Thanks for the review! — Hun ter Ka hn 04:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The plot reads much better, so I will now pass the article as a GA. One more issue though is in the plot you wrote "Arthur searches for Arthur," which I'm sure is wrong, so I changed it to Dexter on the first one. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:51, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the Continuity section, isn't it possible that Dexter just didn't see that particular paper? When it comes to continuity errors, the show's producers should get the benefit of the doubt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.52.183 (talk) 23:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
