Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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

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

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.

in addition to being, in all likelihood, the best television series ever created

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

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

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.

Gossip Girl is cheeseball, horrible, plays crap music, and doesn't have a tenth of the sense of humour about itself that the OC did, and I still can't stop watching it!

I want to watch it but GF won't let me. I learned of the Gossip Girl books through my juvenile hall girls and read one to see what all the fuss was about. It was awesome! Mindless but so fun!
