Overall:

Article recently passed a GA review, so it qualifies on newness and length, it also complies with sourcing, neutrality and policy requirements. The only uncited sections in the article are plot synopses that don't really require an inline citation. It would have been nice to see a picture for this one, but there's certainly not any available in the commons/public domain. The hook is definitely interesting, as this is such an iconic character in this series. Easy pass for me. Nice work! Grnrchst (talk) 12:16, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
