Talk:Home (The X-Files)

message: seriously doubt this episode was actually banned. We do have the 1st Amendment here, after all. Anyone have some citation on this? Wilybadger 02:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

text: The IMDB page mentions that it was banned from re-airing on Fox. It aired the first time, and they never repeated it; afterwards it could be seen in syndication only.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.142.71.18 (talk) 19:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've copy-edited, but feel free to revert anything you don't like. Also, check I haven't inadvertently used British spelling.
:: I'd like to thank you for the copy-editing, especially because that was probably the fastest I've ever seen someone respond to such a request! I further altered the article per your comments and I'm just going to reply to the suggestions that I felt required a response, otherwise they were applied immediately. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Mutant" is indeed questionably used here... just because they're inbred and ugly doesn't make them "mutants". Changed it to "redneck" since it reinforces the rural feel (they are identified as such in some references). Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Indeed, the third paragraph was expanded a bit. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text:  I don't even know who Kristen Cloke is beyond her profile here, but she was the co-star of the series, and writers/directors often develop a friendship. Her article states that she appeared in the film Final Destination, which I know was written by Wong and Morgan and started off as a script for the X-Files. So I presume they had some sort of friendly relationship. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text: As compelling as it would be if their was some really interesting thing to end off with, they simply avoided the censors by using some careful editing, which I added to the article. In fact, the article features the Popmatters comment that it was a "miracle" it still got past the editors. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text: "Teaser" here actually refers to the episode's intro, as in the two minute teaser that comes on before the opening credits of a TV show. Changed because it seems that this would be confusing to people unfamiliar with the subject (which defeats the entire point of the article). Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I just had to trim the entire section a bit. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text:  Unfortunately, the comment cannot be substantiated further. Altered it a bit accordingly. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text:  I missed a verb, the great editor Glimmer fixed it right away. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text:  Believe it or not but there was a lot more that I could have added since it's basically the most notorious episode of the entire series. I cut down a paragraphs worth of commentary by either shortening it, omitting it altogether, moving it around a bit, etc. Also paraphrased a bit better, fairly simple thing to do. After a day or two more of combing through, I'm gonna submit the article for FAC, and I definitely think its far closer to its goal now. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

message: How could the episode carry a rating that didn't even exist until almost a year after it aired? The wiki page for the TV ratings says the ratings weren't even announced until Dec 96, not implemented until Jan 97, months after this episode ran. Even then there was no TV-MA at all until August 97 when it replaced TV-M, so how can an Oct 96 aired episode have any rating, let alone a TV-MA rating?68.51.193.141 (talk) 23:46, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good catch. I'll look into it. My suspicious is that it received a TV-MA upon its rebroadcast.--Gen. Quon (Talk)  00:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The color of the Cadillac is white, not pink as mentioned in the article.  This can be seen in the episode at times 13:20, 17:25, 27:07, 30:15, and 42:25 (as seen on Netflix).  It can also be seen in the screen captures here and here.  The color white is also mentioned in the transcripts here and here; these may not be acceptable Wikipedia references, but support the assertion that the car color is white.  I cannot verify whether the existing reference mentions 'pink', but in the episode the color is clearly white. CuriousEric 04:14, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
