Was is Jessica who did the X-files recaps? Those were a thing of beauty, and, for the later seasons, constitutes taking one repeatedly for the team so that others didn't have to suffer. Plus, action figure theater!

I did like Jessica's Jack and Bobby recaps while they existed.

Oh! You have to check out Jessica's later-season X-Files recaps. They are gut-bustingly funny. She was funny and snarky and bitter about the cracktastic direction the show took, but she still had enormous affection for what the show used to be. Also, she used to guest-recap for Buffy, and I liked her writing a lot better than those of the regular recappers. I remember, with particular fondness, the part in her The Replacement recap that vividly telescoped her future as the builder of The Fug Blog.

Who did the Dawson's Creek recaps? Wing Chun? I used to read them long after I stopped watching the show.

hee, Vonnie, I totally remember that part of "The replacement" recap.

My heart is large with love for Miss Alli, but I think she only does reality TV. I watched "Married By America" to keep up with her recaps of that show.

Hee, Steph. I never did watch the show, but I totally read those recaps. That was back in the day of Too Much Time On My Hands.

Ack. Totally earwormed for a song I haven't even THOUGHT of in years. Styx, I think it was. Blech!

Just thought I would share the pain.

Heh. Sorry 'bout that.

Also? We are working our travel plans for tomorrow around the rewatch of OMGWTFPOLARBEAR! The joys of fandom.

When I told my parents the last day of class was today, their obvious reaction was, "Well, then you can fly home on the fifteenth!" But I didn't want to miss Lost, so I convinced them to let me fly home on the sixteenth, knowing my brother would tape The O.C. for me. Thank God I did, because when we booked that ticket, I hadn't known my test in cardio pharm was a take-home. Which I got four hours ago.

I never read any of Jessica's recaps, so Shack, Aaron, and Miss Ali have been my favorite recappers. I stopped reading Strega's Angel recaps to avoid influencing my own, but we have very similar critical takes on the show (just with 33% less Wesley hate in my case).

Demian is probably the most likely candidate for the slot since he's been following the show all along, but I think I best enjoy the bitterness of his recaps when leveled at shows that are badly done. I don't ever feel defensive about slams against Alyssa Milano, y'know?

Dan Kwa started off strong, but I think like SNL writers he has no sense of when his own jokes stop being funny. And so they do, with increasing frequency.

So. I rewatched today while I was dumping it off from the Tivo's hard drive to the DVD recorder's hard drive.

I remember that I wanted to comment on Locke rejecting Michael -- remember, Michael was the one who got busted up on Locke's first boar hunt. Definitely a dynamic there. Out of the remaining characters, I think his is the backstory I'm most curious about. Think it'll be redeeming? That there was a really good reason why he was a bad absentee dad?

At what point did Locke lose the track? Was it geographically near enough the mysterious metal object to have that be more building than vault? Locke had heard Sayid's "We're not alone" but Boone probably hadn't yet, eh? This island needs some Fair Information Dissemination system.
