I would probably be more in favour of a section called "Critical analysis", that would bring in trying to ''understand'' the story, rather than just opinion. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:56, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

*No, we shouldn't have a reception section; people's opinions are not encyclopaedic. It isn't our place to have judgement on episodes, just stick to the facts. Just because the opinions are from professionals doesn't mean they should be on an encyclopaedia; there's better websites for that. -<[[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 16:36, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Conditionally in favour if done ''right'' and ''well'', but too many personal points against to actually say "Yes we should". I don't really see reviews as "behind the scenes" sections. Not to mention someone will invariably use forum posts or blogs or "some circles of fans" even ''with'' all the rigourous sourcing. Even though I agree I need to be more critical about the faults of the Whoniverse's writing, I'd still rather make my own conclusions on episodes rather than listen to either the fans or critics. And I really hate the idea of "proving" something sucking or ruling based on consensus of what others think. Awards and AI figures I think are enough. I'd also qualify ranked episodes in magazine polls as non-reviews. [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] 15:17, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
