Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
OK. I'll bite. What's confusing.
There's no relation to Bravo buying TWoP and Drive being recapped. That this is happening at about the same time is a coincidence. (As far as I know. Bravo & NBC are related, right? But Bravo & Fox are not.)
(I'm totally psyched that the Wire is being added to the roster! Although I pity the recapper assigned to it. that's some complicated plotting!)
I just hope that they stop using so many pages to recap a show.
Yahoo owned them before, keerect?

What I never understood about that is that they say they sell advertising based on page views, but I swear 99% of their ads are for themselves. How exactly does that make them money?

haha! whereas I actually like the multi-page thing because I often read recaps in spurts interrupted by my, you know, real job/life etc. and it's easier to keep track of where I left off.
Yeah, Yahoo bought them a...year ago, maybe?
And they recently started pulling quotes from the forums and pasting them on Yahoo!TV, which was really annoying because they pulled from Meet Markets and spoiler threads, too.

I was about to say that they did that to increase pageloads, but maybe they won't need to increase ad revenue so much now? They did add the pagelinks recently, at least.
There's a thread in the Nuts and Bolts forum to explain how the Bravo thing will affect TWOP. I haven't gotten too far into it, but the Yahoo thing was apparently a partnership that ran its course.
All I wanna know is, does Strega get a raise? Because my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks.
The following quote from Glark does make Drive recapping seem related:
Just to temper expectations, beyond adding a few new shows soon (The Wire, Men in Trees, Brothers and Sisters and Drive) it's going to be status quo for a while. I think a lot of the new stuff will be worked on after the TV season is done.
I'm praying that the new owners don't inflict their website's design on TwoP. The forums may be offline one try out of three, but they don't actively sear my retinas when the pages load. Bravotv.com is hideous.
