• Image: Is the image necessary? From what I'm gathering, its just two characters talk. The FU rationale needs to be stronger on the image page
• Lede: You use the term 'kill him' twice in one sentence. I'd switch it up
• Lede: "2.10" you can drop the '0' since its after the decimal
• Lede: I think the production sentence should be merged with either the first or last paragraph.
• Plot: "The therapists claim that has is imagining this to cope." -> "The therapists claim that he is imagining the plot to cope."
• Plot: Maybe explain the red/green reality better. It's rather confusing if you've never seen the show
• Plot: "Still in the red reality, Michael visits the hacker suggested in the green reality, gains Hawkins' password and unlocks the file, which tells Michael that Hawkins and Kessel had a shipping container where they had been storing the heroin." This sentence is lengthy and confusing. I'd break it up and try to rephrase it so it sounds better
• Plot: Watch out for contractions: "they'll"
• Plot: "this reality's Bird is still alive" Which reality is 'this' (Red or Green)
• Production: The entire first paragraph is completely unsourced, as is the second sentence of the second paragraph. Overall, as with the other Awake article, I feel that this section is rather small, and not that broad. Is there anything else that can be used to bulk it up? Filming locations? Costs? Etc…
• Production: This section is ridiculously short. I let the other one slide, but I am still uncomfortable. For instance, the pilot has quite a bit written about it. Surely there is something more out there. Five sentences really is pushing it.
• Ratings: Again, you can drop the '0' since its after the decimal
• Response: "HitFix praised parts of the episode…" Which parts?
• Response: You used the term 'praise', or a variation thereof, five times in a row. Change the wording up a bit
• Response: Some of the reviews are short, like the TV Fanatic review. Maybe expand on these a bit

Thank you for reviewing my article. Tate Brandley Stockwell 02:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

The reception section still needs a bit of work with word repetition as well as short reviews. Also, the whole red/green reality is still not very clear in the prose. Also, I missed this in my first sweep, the third paragraph has a lot of long and winding sentences and parenthetical information. I'd straighten all of it out and remove the choppiness.--Gen.

Alright. I tweaked most of the article myself. I feel comfortable promoting it to GA. Good job.--Gen. Quon (talk) 00:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
