Comments:

Can the black on the top and bottom of the screenshot be cropped off?
"Mixed-to-positive" does not need the hyphens
Expand the third paragraph of the lead with more found in the filming section -- such as the absence of the two main actors.
Brain and skull -- overlinking
Why isn't Steve Kiziak in the guest list? (And why isn't his character mentioned in the plot?)
"...because of the stars busy schedules." stars → stars'
"As such, the name was changed accordingly." - Best removed, it's kind of redundent.
"The episode aired in the United Kingdom and Ireland on Sky1 on April 2, 2000 and episode received 0.68 million viewers." Word missing here.
Refs 10 and 11 need published dates
This isn't Yahoo News; it's Yahoo Voices, which can be written by any Yahoo user and thus unreliable. (Which also explains why a lot of articles on that site are poorly written...)

Putting on hold for 7 days while issues are addressed. Glimmer721 ^talk 02:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I got most fixed. I'll change the picture ASAP. I replaced the Yahoo article with one from a Cinefantastique magazine.--Gen. Quon (talk) 16:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image has been cropped!--Gen. Quon (talk) 17:16, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Hungry (The X-Files). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

AV Club compares the episode style to "Columbo"[edit]

https://tv.avclub.com/the-x-files-hungry-millennium-1798175236 also other sources say Gilligan drew directly from Columbo, but I think I can find a better citation for that with more time or maybe even a quote 203.217.53.150 (talk) 19:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good find! This should probably be worked in to the article, probably in the Production section. I'd be interested in seeing if you can find more info.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
