What Lies Ahead

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it has recently passed its GA nomination, and I would like to promote it to FA soon. I would like some feedback on it.

Drive-by comments from Noleander

• Caption for 2-building picture: "Similar to the episode "TS-19", this episode depicts Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre (left) as the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (right)." I find that confusing. Apparently the building on the right is the real CDC, and it does not appear in the TV show? I'd recommend showing only the left building (the art center that is purported to be the CDC). Showing the real CDC adds no value and will confuse readers. -Noleander (talk) 14:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
• Capitalization in quotes: The article has some quotations that start with caps: " He continued: "With ...""; or " He wrote, "At the very least, .."". WP:MOSQUOTE indicates that the initial cap is converted to lower case in those situations.

Comments

• Two disambiguation links, one in one of the quotes, one in the template, both "The Walking Dead", link to a dab page.
• "occurred outside" a bit passive, perhaps "took place outside"?
• "In anticipation of its initial airing" I think you've sort of lost what "it" is here, so perhaps "In anticipation of the episode's initial airing"
• "the episode averaged a 2.0 rating in most television markets." I'm a Brit and consequently that means nothing to me, despite the claim this a worldwide thing...!
• "Daryl rescues him by stabbing a walker and then pulling them both ..." sort of loses who "both" are here, him and the walker or him and T-dog?
• "with Rick pursuing her" presumably Rick is pursuing the three of them?
• "he doesn't come" avoid contractions.
• Don't really see a need to link Christ.
• Shouldn't full length be hyphenated in "a full length trailer was..." (similar to the "A six-part internet...").
• "mostly occur outside" -> take place.
• Hmm. Then you'd need to avoid repeating it in the next sentence, or be creative. Just not keen on "occur" as that's just not active enough.
• "Smyrna, GA " not keen on the US proclivity to add state abbreviations which mean nothing to the rest of the world...!
• At the end of the Production section, you repeat actors names and their character names (you've mentioned most of them in the Plot section), is there really a need to do that?
• "in over 122 countries" 123? 190? The source just says 122.
• Again, I think you need to explain or link to what a 2.0 rating means.
• "increased by 513% from the previous season premiere" the source says from the "Yr 1 season average", not premiere. It was a 30% increase over the previous season's premiere according to the source.
• Should make it clear that these claims (like "second most watched programme in its timeslot") applies to pay television only. Free to air channels would clearly smash these ratings.
• "Concluding his review, Goldman gave " no need to repeat Goldman so soon.
• "Handlen praised the" no need to repeat Handlen so soon.
