Hey. New board.

I was the second person to vote on the TWOP Lost recap. Neener. I pulled the average grade from a B- to a B+ all by myself.

Hey. New board.

Also, now I'm trying to imagine Veronica Mars / Lost crossover scenarios that could get some Veronica/Claire femmeslash happening. Fairly sure such a thing should never be written, but the pretty...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not liking the reviewer at TWOP, but I guess when you're named TWoP, you have to be petty.

Maybe it should be TWOPWP: Television Without Pity, W/Petty.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, he doesn't like the flashback format, which is bad for him since they're not going to lose it. But he's a pretty good writer, and I love his use of random links. And he's really good at running gags.

But he warned me today for acting moderator-y. Waaah! My first warning.

What does one do to act moderator-y?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Dude, the whole Boone, God's Friggin'... --man, I don't even wanna type it--thing? Bloody annoying.

Ehh. I'll stick with cleolinda. I like my snark good-natured, especially when it comes to shows I love.

Tell an ignorant newbie to read the FAQ. I used words like "perhaps" and "then," which made me come off as having an attitude. And frankly, I kinda did, in my head, since the guy misquoted and then was all, "Buh, I don't know how to post in these forums."

Vonnie, here is where we differ. I love it, especially when it ends up being featured after articles ("a sputtering Boone, God's Friggin' Gift to Humanity"), because it has a very The Cheat sound to it.

Ehh. I'll stick with cleolinda. I like my snark good-natured, especially when it comes to shows I love.

Have you read Couch Baron's VM recaps? He loves the show and thus brings the good-natured snark.

Brr. I prefer the Buffustas, where anyone can tell a newbie to read the FAQ or help out others.

Has TWOP always been like that? It kind of reminds me of being in a small, spunky startup that gets big enough wherea bureaucracy starts forming, and everyone gets "job duties" and reprimands when they help people out or give advice outside of their defined spots.

One thing the TWOP reviewer did was remind me of the whole Banoffee Pie thing: [link]

Yeah. I love that he loves the show that much. His VM recaps and Deborah's Joan of Arcadia recaps are pretty much the only ones I read regularly nowadays. Oh, and anything Jessica writes. Because I [heart] Jessica.

One thing I've noticed watching Lost eps again today is how friggin' gorgeous the show is. Especially the vibrantly verdant hills and mountains. Well, the pretty people don't hurt it, either. And I adore the non-montage music, which I understand is done by the same guy who did the music for Alias. I assume he composed the ultra-catchy title theme for Alias? 'Cause I don't even like the show very much, but that music just makes me break into a dance--which is really not a pretty sight, I'm telling you, but whenever it starts playing, it's like I have no will of my own.
