Oh, Jesus Christ. Twenty-nine pages for the last Gossip Girl recap on TWoP? And fully half of it Jacob's useless "look at me, I'm so smart, I know how to construct impossible impenetrable sentences" dithering? WILL SOMEBODY GET THIS BOY A FUCKING EDITOR ALREADY? He does make some really good, interesting observations, which is why I still wade through the recaps every week, but it's a real chore to find them amidst the sea of spooge from his constant wanking over what a genius he is.

Oy, TWoP. I used to read their Rome recaps at work instead of working. Infuriatingly spotty quality and half seem to be written by IDIOTS.

Did you watch the episode? Did you die? I died. I hate how much I love this show, it makes me feel like I'm in high school again almost.

Asher is my new boyfriend by the way. Just an FYI.

i used to read the House TWoP recaps but after that half-year without watching TV, i lost connection with a lot of fandom and online crit and review. i used to *like* the TWoP recaps of House, even *learn from them* (i guess the reviewer was a nurse or aide or something) and then when i went back to reassociate myself with the site, there was one idiot reviewing one ep on one single week and it put me off the ENTIRE site. just a fucking stand-in for whoever normally did the reviews and they were such a chuckle-headed boob i didn't ever want to bother again.

i guess i'm the definition of an overbearing editorial consumer: one bad article, they tend to loose me for life. i've quit my subscriptions to Time, Newsweek, SPIN and a few others (including all local papers) for similar reasons. or sometimes, just because of their complete slants and overly-defensive opinions.

i've heard that, lately, the forums are spilling over into the articles at TWoP a bit too much. like since they put the book out. a few people i know online have stopped slogging through the stuff they used to like.

I KNOW! I mean, his recaps are good, I do like a lot of his analysis, how much he deeply cares about the characters...lol...but it's starting to go way over the edge.
