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.

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.

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.

That was Jessica, I think, who was guest-recapping. My favourite recapper on the site, hands down, past or present. Even without going back, I still recall the description of Jessia turning into stone *and* crying blood tears at the Neopolitan monstrosity Buffy was wearing in that episode. What was great about Jessica was that she was snarktastic, but she did it with love. Because I was still enjoying S6 and S7, I had tough time taking Ace and Sep's bitterness and usually skipped their recaps.

And... yeah, Deborah's recaps for JoA during S1 were a joy, because she loved the show so much. I still go and reread her recap for "Jump" from time to time (which, for my money, is one of the best episodes of TV EVER) because it's so happy-making.

I haven't read the VM finale recap, but the one who was guest-recapping for the penultimate episode was v. funny.

It was only recently that I figured out that she runs GFY.

I got no problem with the formatting of the recaps. That's how they manage to stay afloat.

Those were truly inspired.

I figured as much; it's just that even with the good internet connection at work, the pages take forever to load, and in any case I don't have the time at work to read them. At home, with dialup? Impossible to deal with.

That's right. Dialup reading of the recaps is a mess!

You know, JoA "Jump" is a really great ep. That's the only ep of that series that I watched thrice.

Yep yep yep. And more yep as to what's been said about Deborah and JoA.

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.

Aha, thank you. I kind of thought that Mac was going to Hearst, but I didn't know if I actually knew that or if I was just extrapolating from the normal way of things on this kind of show.

I don't read TWOP recaps anymore. I still miss Boobtoob.net. I think Carly would have done a kick ass job on VM recaps. If only I could get her to leave off working writing about the porn industry and come back to please me write television recaps.
