BWHAHAHA!
Do the script doctors march with stethescopes around their necks? With signs that say, "I help make crappy movies a little less crappy"?
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Heh. I feel like Jacob says this of every show he recaps.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm just thankful that this time he's dissecting something I haven't the slightest interest in watching. I was scared he'd become the Brothers & Sisters recapper for a bit.

You're missing some good Ho-yay, IJS.

Is he really serious? I like the rest of his rant, but damn. Hyperbole much?

He hasn't given an episode any less than an A all season (nine episodes so far). Which, I think, is the best track record I've seen on TWoP. (As Gris said to me, he kind of screwed himself over on the grading system by giving the pilot an A+...because every subsequent episode has been better than the pilot.)

Hey. New board.
He gave the pilot an A, actually. Then a whole lot of A+'s. There've been a couple of other A's since.
To be fair, the audience has given every episode but the pilot an A or A+, and the pilot was a B+. So it's pretty well liked by us non-recappers too. It's my favorite show on TV right now, far and away.

I tried very hard to like Gossip Girl but I just couldn't do it.

I caught, like, half an episode that completely failed to engage me in any way. But more power to the folks who find it that enjoyable.
