Well, them, let's see who this season article stands up compared to the last review I did - the season finale. Still not seen the show so again I'm neutral to its promotion.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    Very well written. Prose style is informative and to-the-point.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:  
    I see nothing to contradict the MOS.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    Sources are plentiful and inline citations are common. My only concern is that they aren't used in the lead - what you say is sourced when it reappears in the article though, so it's not lacking a source, but it does seem a bit off that the first major citations are further down the page. Nothing big though, it's mostly an aesthetic thing.
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    Plentiful reliable sources.
    C. No original research:  
    No OR, everything cited and backed up.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    Provides everything a reader needs to know about the subject whilst avoiding cruft and non-notable details.
    B. Focused:  
    Stays on-topic and doesn't meander.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
    Article maintains a neutral stance.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
    Article is stable and uncontroversial.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    Images are used appropriately and all check out for fair use.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
    Images are used suitably and are clearly captioned.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Overall, there's very little I would change about this article, other than the aforementioned inline citations in the lead. As such, I'm going to pass this as a Good Article, and would recommend working to bring it to FA standard as it could feasibly achieve this.
