so, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down" should redirect to the movie Speed, not to this article!

GA review

"Al Jean went in to a bathroom and found a copy of TV Guide there, it had a picture of The X-Files on the cover, Jean thought it would be a good idea to do a crossover." should be changed to "Al Jean found a copy of TV Guide whilst in the bathroom, with The X-Files on the cover. Feeling a crossover would be good idea..." and then continue. Alientraveller 20:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good?

I stand by my belief that the cultural references section is hard to read (in other words, a bunch of garglemesh) without bulletpoints, but I don't want any more grief, so I must ask what makes that better. I still don't understand. --Jnelson09 17:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GAR

This article has aged badly. First, in the “Cultural References” section there are paragraphs without references, something that a GA should not have, since all its paragraphs (with the exception of the introduction and the plot) must have sources. Second, the “Plot” section is very long for a half-hour chapter. For everything else, I will put it in GAR because it does not meet the requirements and, in addition to that, it was approved in 2007 (17 years ago), and the requirements have changed since its approval. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
