I'll take this one, as I'm unlikely to ever watch the series (too little time in day and TXF would take priority in this universe)! Ruby 2010/2013 21:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure I'd recommend it, either, to be honest (certainly not ahead of TXF or Twin Peaks). GRAPPLE X 22:03, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

• I see one dablink

  That's intentional, it's from the hatnote at the top ("For other uses, see 1919 (disambiguation)."). Would have thought that tool would have ignored those hatnote templates though. GRAPPLE X 23:10, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

• "...when he learned their identity" - who's identity? If you mean the child learning about his/her own identity, I'm not sure the term is appropriate (perhaps substitute it with "destiny")?

  Prine wanted to protect the child when he figured out which one it was (he didn't care about the rest of them); I've reworded that to be a bit clearer. GRAPPLE X 23:10, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

• This is a pretty brief article. I'm sure you've done thorough research but is there any more production info out there? Or any more reviews to add? I think there's more from The A.V. Club for instance (the reviewer calls the episode "alternately wildly ambitious, thrilling, and kind of awful").

  It's kind of a hard line to cross; there is some material out there from the ardent fan sites ([millennium-thisiswhoweare.net this] is the one I consult for guest stars who recurred again, etc) but nothing I could really see counting as a reliable source (for example, that site mentions that the title is a reference to Revelations 19:19 in the bible, but nothing RS states that so I couldn't include it). I can't see any additional reviews (I always take a check but usually they're non-existent bar season openers or finales). There's actually a pretty good quote from a more recent AV Club review of a season 3 ep about how that site is basically the first to really go into any depth on the series ([1]), which is depressing. I'll be picking up the new book from Fourth Horseman Press eventually but I don't know to what depth it'll cover any specific episodes; and the lone DVD feature doesn't cover this one (most of what it does actually cover is repeated in a Cinefantastique article I've used elsewhere anyway). I could expand some of the reviews based on what's already used, didn't know if that would seem undue or not; I'd avoid additional direct quotes though, unless you think maybe a quote box would help (like in Paper Dove for example).

A quote box like in "Paper Dove" would be a good addition, but I won't make you add it as a criterion for passing this article, which I am now doing. Commendable work, as usual! Will you be participating in next year's cup? Ruby 2010/2013 02:42, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

No images to worry about and the prose is high-quality. I'll place the review on the usual seven-day hold. Nice work! Ruby 2010/2013 22:51, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
