I've done something of a restructure of the article. Moving "Story elements" (a renamed "References" and placed it under the Synopsis. The logic here being that all the story elements are covered in the three subheadings before the Cast/Crew sections and everything for the rest of the article is more about the background information of the article (excluding the intro).

I've also re-written the "Story notes" section, removing "Ratings" and "Filming locations" and throwing them into a sidebar box on the side of the "Story notes" section. These two sections are usually just a list and don't really need to be buried all the way down into the "Story notes".

Story connections now sits within "Story notes" thereby collecting all the similar information about the story in one place.

I know this isn't what we were originally setting out to do – merge the two sections, but we've also been discussing how to define these sections. As I've continued to return to I still consider them separate elements of the article, with separate information to present. I think by subtly restructuring the article's layout we can illustrate this better.

I like this. Although I am in two minds about 'Story elements' and 'story connections' being separate, since we have discussed, at length to merge them. However, it is not something I object to completely.

As for story notes, I feel that 'filming locations' should be as you have put them - in the side box. I also think that 'ratings' should be merged into the infobox - it is just one piece of information in a bullet point. It would be better displayed in the infobox.

Also, staying with story notes, I feel that if we were to go and make them all full sentences, instead of bullet points, we would have to do the same with 'production errors' - which I am willing to do, as I feel it would stop people trying to give an "answer" to them.
