Converted from a redirect by Rhain (talk). Self-nominated at 01:00, 7 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/When We Are in Need; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article and hook meet requirements and the QPQ is completed. I personally think ALT1 is probably the most "interesting" for the DYK section, although ALT0 is just a smidge behind for me in that regard. ALT2 and 3 work as well, but 0 and 1 are great choices. Soulbust (talk) 02:22, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- I see a source for ALT0 the gun was heavy, the other source seems to be a video. Bruxton (talk) 01:34, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Why so squeamish?
[edit]It's a little irritating that we have to use a PC euphemism like 'sexual assault' to describe what David tries to do to Ellie. Be honest. He tries to rape her. Adding extra syllables, making it sound more abstract, just under-communicates how horrid the scene was (in a bad way). 2600:8800:7000:4DE0:9557:76EB:4763:E267 (talk) 20:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

General comments
[edit]- The infobox image has a valid fair use rationale. The other images have valid free use licenses for Commons.
- No copyvio
Prose
[edit]- Infobox, lead, plot, and conception and writing are fine.
Casting and characters
[edit]- a turning point for Ellie, and felt she will have -> feel like it should be "would"
- he expected a small role feels a bit redundant with the previous except perhaps as a small cameo. Could remove the former sentence or merge these two sentences together.
- Prior to the announcement of Scott Shepherd's casting, rumors suggested Baker would play David, but he felt it "would've been too on the nose". Shepherd's casting was revealed in the first trailer in December. While the way it is written can suggest Shepherd was casted to interpret David, this is never directly mentioned, and it slighly confused me when reading for the first time (probably for being a non-native speaker though). Either way, I'd suggest changing it to something like Prior to the announcement of Scott Shepherd's casting as David, rumors suggested Baker would play the character [...]
- the first trailer in December. I'd suggest adding the year here, as the previous mention of the year was two paragraphs ago.
Filming
[edit]- Production took place in Okotoks mention the town is in Canada, or at least Alberta
- I just noticed the lead said the episode was recorded in Calgary, Alberta; I've changed it.
- including adding trees -> including the addition of trees
- I think semicolons are used too much in this section. I'd recommend rephrasing some sentences (some semicolons can also just be replaced by a dot).
Reception
[edit]- Broadcast and ratings is fine
- The website's critical consensus noted I think "noted" is commonly used for facts, but the quote is subjective. I'd recommend going with the usual "reads".
- and maintaining focus -> and the maintenance of focus; "the" is needed in this sentence
- Pedro Pascal's performance as Joel was well received. Would recommend expanding or attributing the sentence
Sources + spot-check
[edit]- All sources seem to be correctly formatted and reliable, and the usage of primary sources is valid here.

I don't think this confirms the episode was rushed. The review says that there are "pieces missing" and similar, but doesn't say the episode is "rushed", "fast-paced" or anything similar — in fact, the reviewer says "it's got a good pace". "Streamlining", apparently (again, not a native speaker), doesn't necessarily mean "fast" etc. I believe this should be removed from "Several critics considered the episode rushed", unless I missed something.
@Rhain: I saw everything was applied correctly so far; will pass after the above comment is responded to. Skyshiftertalk 00:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Skyshifter: Thanks for the review! Good catch—I've removed the ref from that particular sentence. Please let me know if there's anything else. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
