Talk:Two and a Half Men season 10

Absences of characters
I really do not see the point in noting the absence of characters, main or recurring, unless the absence is significant to the episode's plot. The absences of main characters in particular is not exactly uncommon, with one frequent example being John Munch on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (And yes, I realize the show has an ensemble cast, but the size of cast isn't part of my argument). So would anyone like to reach a consensus on this? Jake has been absent a few times the last couple years and, in my opinion at least, it was hardly noticeable, and I just think that noting it on its own line is just way too much emphasis.

 * I've always had a problem with this on every series page I've come across. People who watch the show obviously know someone wasn't in an episode, and, if a viewer misses an episode, I don't think they would care much to see that someone was absent from a few episodes. They only come here to see what happened in the show. As a non-viewer altogether, I think "absences" are fluff. — WylieCoyote (talk) 22:26, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Redundant captions
There is a perception by editors that MOS:DTT must be followed to the letter in order to comply with access requirements and allow vision impaired readers to use their screen readers correctly. We don't actually have any policy or guideline where this is the case and MOS:DTT is only a guideline, not a policy, so there's even less urgency to comply. Screen readers, like JAWS, essentially render the page as those of us with no problems see it. Where a section contains only a single table, as in the ratings section of the article, including a caption as well as a section heading is redundant. It is the equivalent of following a level 3 heading immediately with a level 4 heading and then following that with a level 2 heading without any more level 4 headings in the section.:

Cast
Are you sure Holland Taylor is still part of the main cast? She appeared only once, whereas Courtney Thorne-Smith appeared 9 times and she is considered as a 'recurring'.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 00:04, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes she is, just as Marin Hinkle, they were credited as a main cast in the episodes they appeared. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rey Keshe (talk • contribs) 10:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
