I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hey, do we know canonically what Mac's doing next year? (I mean, did we find out in S2; no spoilers, please.)

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

Didn't Wallace say Mac was going to Hearst in one of the episodes? I mean, if RT could actually sign on Tina Majorino, that would be the natural course of action, so maybe I'm imagining things.

What is even happening?

Yes, right before Lucky pulled the gun on the kids at the NHS luncheon courtyard thingie, Jackie asked Veronica why she didn't just go to Hearst, where she could be closer to her dad, and be with Wallace and Mac.

I read the TWoP recap last night. I found it disappointing. I think I mostly felt that way because Couch Baron didn't enjoy the episode. It must be difficult to write a recap that long, when you were disappointed. He didn't like the roof scene, though, and it seemed to me, he didn't mention things I found really enjoyable--like Veronica's, "Ooh! A PONY!"

I think i'm one of the only people on the internet who has never read a TWoP recap.

I think i'm one of the only people on the internet who has never read a TWoP recap.

They don't make it easy. I don't like doing that much straight on reading on-line, so I tend to print-off really long text stuff, but there's no way (that I've found) to get the whole recap in one place, and I hate the amount of pagination they use - 2 or 3 screens worth, ok, but not 13.

If I'm planning on doing my little recappy/review schtick, I won't read them, at least not until after I'm finished with my own stuff. I generally don't read them, because they're so long and detailed, and I've already seen the episode.

I read more of them when TWoP was still MBTV. The first BtVS recap I read was written about The Replacement (two Xanders episode), and I laughed so hard at the description of Buffy's outfit (which was the scariest thing the Hellmouth has ever seen) that I think I busted something.

In general, if the recapper does not love the show (series that is, not episode) and I do, I can't read it. I'm usually fine if the recapper doesn't like a random episode I did, but I'm sorry I read the TWoP VM finale recap, because now I want to write a recappy review in response to it, rather than in response to the episode itself.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I concur that the recaps are too long. It has been ages since I've read the recaps. I literally only read them if I missed an episode - and it is a show I just want to know what happened as opposed a show I watch frequently.

Hey. New board.

I read each and every Joan of Arcadia recap for its entire (way too short, woe) run. And all of VM season 1, though I've been less thorough about season 2. The love made them good.

I read the early GG stuff too, but when the show started getting worse, the recaps started getting bitter, and I had to stop.

I still love and miss Jessica's X-Files recaps. Especially when the show had Gone To Suck and she was mostly writing about her Mulder and Scully action figures.
