I'd highly suggest that ALT1 be dropped since it doesn't seem that intriguing to non-fans of the series; I have to note that neither hook mentions that this is a Better Call Saul episode. ALT0 is my preferred option since I think it could intrigue even non-fans of the series, but I'd highly suggest that the hook be modified to mention the series. Finally, given that we've had quite a lot of hooks about the series lately, I think it would be a good idea to wait a while before this hook gets promoted: we don't want to have a repeat of the "Swiftpedia" complaints we got a while back.

Fair point—something like ALT2 ... that Rhea Seehorn wanted the sprinkler in the cold open to the Better Call Saul episode "Hit and Run" to sound like a machine gun? should work. I disagree that ALT1 is uninteresting to non-fans, but would choose ALT0 over it in any case.  Ploni💬  15:48, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
I suppose that suggestion works, though I'd wait for the nominator first to respond. As for ALT1, I think it's not intriguing to non-fans is because it's reliant on the mention of Gus Fring, a name that may not be familiar to all readers. The hook did not also clarify that he's a character and not a real person, and again even what show the episode was from. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
@Onegreatjoke: Thoughts on the above discussion as well as ALT2? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:35, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Alt2 is fine as a hook and i'm okay with dropping Alt1 if it's considered not interesting. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:37, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Okay, let's go with ALT2 then, the rest of the review is per Ploni. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
