[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Yahoo! I just looked at the new TwoP Lost recap, and apparently I and others have done enough pimping of "Lostzilla" for the new recapper to pick that up rather than continuing with the "Iron Giant" nickname.
OK, as victories go, not a huge one. But I'll take what I can get this week.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Congrats, Matt. Not that I have any idea what you are talking about but, I just want to acknowledge your very important small victory.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Certain Buffistas who will go unnamed gave me a sixteen month Orlando calendar.
Heh. My housemate bought me the same one (after first threatening me with the Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen one instead), and it now hangs in our kitchen. He's very pretty, you know.

Is it funny? I'm almost afraid to read it. I've been hurt before, you see.

It's actually not bad. Daniel threw in a few good jokes and snarky comments this time around, instead of doing recapping for the blind. While I wouldn't say the better recappers have to worry about competition just yet, he doesn't seem resentful of having to watch the show or clueless about what he's watching. (Both criticisms I'd level against Pammie, who should maybe think about pursuing another way to earn extra $ so that she's not bored, miserable, and spreading those feelings to all her readers.)

Pammie's quality is declining? That's too bad. I've been fond of her since I discovered (through a Gilmore Girls recap) that she and I worked for the same movie theater chain at the same time.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I only know of Pammie through her "Wonderfalls" recaps and so have a very low opinion of her.
I'm afraid that whoever winds up doing "Lost" recaps is going to suffer in comparison to Cleolinda.
My favorite TWOP recappers are probably sobell and Miss Alli.

I actually only read the recaps when I've missed an episode. So, not very often.

This is where I formed my "why are you even bothering to write this?" opinion of her. Maybe if she wrote good recaps of another smart show like Gilmore Girls, it's not that she's abyssmally stupid and unimaginative, but just that she was watching something whose premise she completely didn't buy?

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

I wasn't a fan of those recaps either, because like you said, she really didn't like it and it showed. Her GG recaps are okay, though I've found I enjoy the non-recappy bits more. Her little random anecdotes about her life, and what's in her purse. I liked her book.
