Re: 'reception' section[edit]

If you read the Smith article carefully, what J. Smith called "awkward" and "cringe-worthy" had nothing to do with the show's reception, but of the actual plot, the actual story. Another way of looking at it would be that it was received well because the emotions elicited were equal to the emotions the show wished to elicit. The rest of the paragraph was very poorly written, so I'm removing it until someone can do better. Chris Weimer (talk) 04:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or, alternatively, you could try your hand at crafting a better paragraph, Chris. It isn't advisable to remove text that isn't demonstrably false. You've pointed out a problem with the paragraph; fix it, or leave it be, please. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh look, it's you. Read the article yourself. The paragraph is false. Chris Weimer (talk) 10:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, roll up yon sleeves and craft a better one. And, just as an aside - I know you are new and all, but you are going to want to be a lot more civil, if you expect to edit in Wikipedia with any amount of success. Be civil, or begone. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New? Son, you've got to be kidding me. And there's no need for a paragraph at all. The guy misunderstood the link, and made a shoddy article based on that. If *you* want to make a new paragraph from actual data, by all means do it, but keeping in LIES in preference to nothing at all is downright the sign of a terrible editor. Let's hope that's not you.
