This is who were are. Been tinkering with this one on and off for a while; the last few pieces of the puzzle came tonight from a book published nearly fifteen years after the show was canned. I've based the list on a few of the more recent episode list FLs, and while I'm not particularly keen on the transclusion approach it seems to be the norm. I'm happy to subst it all in if that's preferable though. As always, I should be readily available to deal with any issues raised, so if there are any questions to be asked, fire away.

- I'm confused, this lists three seasons worth of episodes; Millennium only had two seasons. You must be having a horrible nightmare dreaming up a season that never existed to ruin one of the best shows on TV. Cough, I mean, hm, lemme take a look at this. The obvious point is the X-Files episode. I understand why it's in the summary, because that acts as a table of contents. However, it seems a bit clunky, since it's not included in the total number. Maybe it should be listed separately in that opening table? I dunno. Really, this is the only potential issue I see with the list, but I can't think of a way to resolve it, which is why I say potential. --Golbez (talk) 17:49, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean the "Series overview" table? It's in there as a separate entry already, unless you mean slotting it in after the "Complete series" entry. I don't mind either way, though the episode is included on the season 3 (and full series) DVD releases so I figured it should be lumped in before the complete series. I'm happy to put it wherever it works best. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I meant separate from the table itself. Also, there's nothing in the article that states it's included in the Millennium DVDs, which is an important fact. :) Also, it doesn't fit in with the whole "season premiere/season finale" structure, and if it's on DVD then should the release date be for X-Files or Millennium? It seems simpler to split it out of that table altogether and simply have a paragraph explaining it and why it's included in this, and what DVDs its on. --Golbez (talk) 21:56, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- For the release date, I went with the earliest one, which was the season 7 X-Files set. I could ditch the "premiere/finale" columns and list the seasons as date ranges ("October 25, 1996–May 16, 1997") so there's less inconsistency there. I've added a bit about the episode being on the Millennium DVDs though. GRAPPLE X 22:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- One last thing then - the total of the Complete Series DVD is 67 episodes, yet if the X-Files is included, wouldn't it be 68? Or is this just listing the episodes of the series? --Golbez (talk) 16:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, even if the above isn't done the list seems pretty good. --Golbez (talk) 17:19, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Well sourced throughout. I especially like how the factual assertions in the Notes section all have in-line-citations. Nicely done, — Cirt (talk) 02:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Everything seems fine. Aureez (Talk) 18:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
