Hi I'm venturing outside of my hurricane bubble to help out with the GAN backlog.


 * Thanks for going out of your way to review the article for me. I have sorted all the issues below. The Optimistic One (talk) 19:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "who listed the meeting at the Dragonpit, the full revelation of Jon Snow's lineage, Cersei's lack of cooperation to defeat the White Walkers, Aidan Gillen's final performance as Littlefinger, and the demolition of the Wall as highlights of the episode." - So the whole episode lol. I'm not sure if this part is necessary.

 * "In the United States, the episode achieved a viewership of 12.07 million in its initial broadcast, making it the highest rated episode of the series." - 13.61M for The Iron Throne?
 * It was the highest rated at the time. Don't worry, I've updated it now. The Optimistic One (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "Furthermore, it received eight nominations at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards – making it the most Emmy Award-nominated episode of the series to date –, including for its writing, Podeswa's direction, Djawadi's music and was submitted by Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey to support their nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actress respectively, with Djawadi and Dinklage winning in their categories." - This is a lot in one sentence. Break apart?

 * "In writing the final interaction between Jaime and Cersei, Benioff felt it was important to convey Cersei's refusal to confide her plan to abandon the agreement to fight the White Walkers and subsequent alignment with Euron and the Iron Bank" - Is there a reason we can't simplify this to "In writing the final interaction between Jaime and Cersei, Benioff felt it was important to convey Cersei's reluctance to fully confide in Jaime" or something to that effect?

 * "The episode has received an 87% rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes from 47 reviews," - 88% out of 64 reviews now.

 * "The pacing of the episode received mixed reviews, with Matt Fowler of IGN praising its ability at, "Delivering lengthy meaningful scenes filled with dialogue, deception, revelations, twists," and assembly the dragon pit." --> This quote from IGN doesn't particularly jive with the pacing of the episode receiving mixed reviews.

 * The external link to the episode is a redirect.
 * Which one? I can't seem to find it. The Optimistic One (talk) 12:29, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * - "The Dragon and the Wolf at HBO.com" The episode link redirects to the main HBO page for the entire series. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 16:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
