Talk:Blood Ties (Homicide: Life on the Street)

Plot summary tag
I had removed a plot summary tag and explained my rationale in the edit summary, but since it's back I'll address this in the talk page before removing it again. This article encompasses three episodes, and WP:MOSTV says that a plot summary should be no more than 500 words per episode. Each of the three plot summaries fit the description in this case, so it's not too long and thus I don't think the tag is appropriate. Furthermore, I'll be adding more and more to this article over the next few days and the rest of the article will more than outweight the plot summary length. Unless anyone objects here, I'm going to remove the plot summary tag again in a day or two. If anyone does object, please let me know on what grounds, and/or what you would suggest I do to fix it. (These episodes are rather complex and detailed, I don't think there's a whole lot of fat to trim; minor subplots have already been excluded from the summaries altogether.) —  Hunter  Kahn  ( c )  00:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Question
What does "even though they come from the best of intentions" mean in the lead? It is a bit unclear what the "they" refers to and what the general gist of the phrase is. Thanks! (My writing class was copyediting the lead this morning and we were wondering.) Awadewit (talk) 13:51, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this could probably use more clarity. In the episodes, Gee and Pembleton show discrimination by refusing to treat the Wilson as suspects. They aren't being deliberately discriminatory, and their intentions are good in protecting the Wilsons, but it turns out to be discrimination nonetheless. So I tried to include the "best of intentions" bit to reflect this element of the story. Maybe it should be reworded? Or just removed altogether? —  Hunter  Kahn  ( c )  20:06, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
