Talk:Rejoined

message: We've got a whole subsection devoted to a video artist whom doesn't seem to be notable enough for an article, and is cited solely to the same critic. I'm not sure it's relevant except maybe to add to the earlier paragraph from Bruce. Thoughts? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 17:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I wrote the paragraph because the piece was given a large amount of analysis in an article by a professor of media/film. Here is another brief discussion. Analysis in the academic literature of this episode more broadly is pretty minimal, but we do have a lot of analysis of that piece- I think it's an important part of the academic literature on this episode, even if Star Trek fans might see it as a bit of a nothing. (Also, I strongly suspect that Gellman is notable, but, naturally enough, queer feminist Canadian video art is not something which is covered as well on Wikipedia as it could be!)

replies: text: I've added in some material from the new source, which I hope establishes the significance of alien kisses- to reiterate, it seems to be a part of the story here. While it may not be of interest to many ST fans, it's something that has received some attention in serious academic literature. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alien kisses 

message: If the hope is to take this article to FAC, I think some questions need to be asked about the sources. Given that most of the analysis section is made up of discussion in academic sources and given that it doesn't really add much, I think The Mary Sue needs to go. I'm also unclear about the Jordan Hoffman source, but I appreciate that a dearth of sources for critical reception may necessitate going for some not-ideal sources. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hoffman has written (and writes) many freelance movie reviews for reliable sources, so I feel like he's established his reviewer credentials well enough for a SPS. I'm wary of the Mary Sue and other blog-focused sites in general. The author has written for other publications, but none at the level of The Guardian or similar sources. I can see her not falling into the "high quality" criterion. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 19:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite importantly for Hoffman, he actually writes for the official Star Trek website in a column called "One Trek Mind". Here's a link to the 56th posting of it: here. Miyagawa (talk) 22:57, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Good to know. Are you fine with cutting the Mary Sue paragraph? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 01:21, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I was trying to be thorough, but in hindsight, I don't think it is needed. Miyagawa (talk) 12:57, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

message: If you ignore the 1974 BBC drama Girl, and the 1994 episode of Brookside. This article stinks of Americancentrism. GimliDotNet (talk) 19:49, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
