Talk:Hex (TV series)

message: The second paragraph of the overview currently reads:
The show depicted teen sex, alcohol and drug use, mental illness, abortion, and human sacrifice. It was cancelled in April 2006 after the end of the second series.
This seems to imply that the show was canceled because of its depiction of those things. This is misleading editorializing (and not supported by the citation).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Gorman (talk • contribs) 00:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Overview

message: I hesitate to add a cleanup template since the page is constantly evolving (as is the prominence of the various characters within the show).  There are, however, problems with the way the cast members are listed.  IMO characters should be listed in their order of prominence in the show's credits, yet people seem to be adding characters haphazardly.  In addition, the TV box template has a link to Christopher Judge, the American actor who plays Teal'c on Stargate SG-1, and who has never appeared on Hex!  In addition, there are characters listed who were never regulars (Reverend George, Lilith Hughes) who should either not be listed at all or should be listed in a new subsection devoted to recurring or guest characters.  In addition, some of the regular characters from series one (Cassie Hughes, Jo Watkins) became recurring characters in series two, IMO requiring additional notation for clarity, and recurring characters from series two (Jez/Ramiel) who are important to the plot are not listed at all.

thread_title: Cast and Credit Issues

message: I'm removing the "See Also" section.  The addition of the link to the article Azazeal is germane to this article, but is now incorporated in the "Synopsis" section.  Discussion of the mythological Grigori and Nephilim are not germane to an article about this TV series, and the conflict between mythological "fact" and the TV programme's internal mythology have already been addressed in the "Influences" section.  Links to the articles Nephilim and Grigori are also already found there.  In addition, the anonymous user who added "Grigori" and Nephilim" to "See Also" didn't bother to check his spelling or the accuracy of his links, predisposing me to delete rather than correct.  In other words, the "See Also" section is redundant and has been made inaccurate and slightly irrelevant. Canonblack 18:27, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On reflection, I really like what Chaosfeary was doing with the "See Also" idea.  We could really flesh out the subject without overloading this one page by having a summary of articles on characters from the show.  In my (admittedly long-winded) Synopsis, some characters get barely a nod and others get no mention at all.  However, since there is only the Azazeal article thus far, I have padded the section with links to articles that might be relevant to coverage of Hex: articles for Christina Cole, Colin Salmon, and Geraldine James (actors in this programme) and As If (previous production from the same producers).  I still don't agree that linking to articles on the Biblical Grigori and Nephilim are relevant, however, since we've established that Hex substantially deviates from the Biblical version.  Hex is fiction, and the producers are allowed artistic license.  It's not a documentary that might inspire viewers to "read more about it".  But if someone strongly disagrees, I won't remove Grigori and Nephilim links that are re-added to this section. Canonblack 12:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: "See Also"

message: Although I'll be the first to argue against Hex's similarities with Buffy, I do really like what has been done with the Episode List, the relevent Episode Pages (example), the Character List and the corresponding Character Pages (example). Now obviously I could just go around creating stubs for the Hex characters and episodes and link it all up but it'd just get removed for being rubbish, so I'm going to start work on /some/ of the pages first. Of course primarily I want to check with the main contributors of this page that I'd have the support of them for what I'm attempting - and of course any help would be great. Drop me a line..

replies: text: Um, well, Hex is a small and cancelled show. I helped with the expansion of the Charmed articles by designing al  templates for the characters and rewriting parts of the bios which were full of fanny nonsense. But I don't see how there's enough information in 18 episodes of Hex to warrant a full category of pages. How about a page for Hex characters that incorporates all of them, and a page for Hex episodes with small bios and descriptions, with links to the IMDB and TV.com pages for them instead?

message: The following statements:
:::::It was marketed by Sky as "the British Buffy"  and was also compared with Charmed, but in the June 9 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly, the creators stated that whereas Charmed and Buffy were send-ups of the horror genre, Hex took its mythology seriously and not for camp .
 
Need citation. As well, the statement identifying the issue of Entertainment Weekly is placed incorrectly. It needs to be turned into a properly cited reference. Please see WP:EXTERNAL or WP:ATT for assistance.
