 * questing his beliefs - is this right, or do you mean "questioning his beliefs"
 * Done.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You still have one occurrence of "questing" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:52, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoops! Sorry about that...-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   18:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Goatee Man or the Goatee Man?
 * Done.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "leaves in a BMW " - Type of car is a little specific,  is it really necessary for the plot?
 * Done.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "hands over redacted microfilm." - Is this right, or is it "hands over a redacted microfilm."
 * I believe it's plural, as film can be a singular word, or a plural word.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "he kills the Skin-Headed Man " - Perhaps change to "Bremer kills the Skin-Headed Man"
 * Done.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is Bremer's true identity ever explained?
 * No, not really. I was kind of confused by that too.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "Mulder Undercover" - Uppercase in the original?
 * Yeah, it was.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   18:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Lede is really long for an article like this (article is 10,000 characters, roughly; per WP:LEDE it should only have one or two paragraphs.
 * I tried to cut it down a bit, but its about the same as all the other X-Files articles.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

 * What makes Critical Myth a reliable source?
 * Keegan is a published television critic, who has written for MediaBlvd Magazine (a Magazine that he is also an assistant editor to, Link). Granted, his website is a little Web 1.0, but he is legitimate. Here's a link about his writing history.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but how is Media Blvd. or TV.com reliable? The TV.com one may even be self published. Has he been published in any mainstream publications? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:52, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * TV.com, not so much, but I would consider Media Blvd. Magazine reliable. They have a full editorial staff, and have interviewed several very notable individuals, such as Billie Piper, Robert McKay, and others; while not super popular, they seem to at least be notable and reliable.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   15:44, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm still not sure on that. The staff page indicates that most of their efforts have been on self-published media, and at the very least the chief editor is not full-time. Perhaps an outside opinion? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm leaning towards MediaBlvd being reliable since their interviews have been cited by print media and they seem to have a bit of an editorial staff, I can't make a solid case for it, but I'd lean in that direction. I probably wouldn't see Keegan's site as one though. Note: Crisco asked me to weigh in. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks Mark. I guess I could accept the source here, but expect it to be questioned again at FA. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:16, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Any commentary on the DVD's commentary track?
 * Unfortunately no. :(-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * According to Star Tribune on Highbeam, this episode and "The Post-Modern Prometheus" have commentary tracks (on The X-Files: The Complete Fifth Season. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm stupid. I'm so used to looking for special effects shorts, et al, I totally forgot about the commentary of the actual episode. I'll get right on that...-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   01:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL. It's not a prerequisite for GA status, so I'll pass now. Be sure to run through it before FA though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Further discussion

 * Okay, holding — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:02, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I believe I've fixed or addressed all the issues. Thank you for reviewing.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   03:03, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, everything important is done but I have a comment regarding the DVD (see above) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Passing. If you're feeling celebratory, perhaps you could help review another article (there is a backlog, after all) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
