Now you made me curious, of course.
From the recap of the recent ep:
Of course, all of this freaks Dean right the hell out, because as you'll recall, they were warned that if Sam recovered any memory at all of the months his soulless body wreaked havoc upon the face of the earth while his soul chilled out downstairs in The Cage with Lucifer and Michael, it could destroy the wall Capital-D Death erected between Sam's soul and his brain (or whatever), thereby rendering Sam a drooling, twitching imbecile for all eternity.
That's not even true, is it? I thought the wall was only up to protect Sam from memories of what happened to him in the cage. Dean and Bobby certainly seemed surprised that he didn't remember the soulless year.
Their insistence on using cutesy, insulting nicknames for the characters annoys me. If I haven't seen the episode and don't know the context I don't know who they're referring to. If I'm truly trying to read a recap to figure out what happened on a show I missed, I don't want to have to work that hard -- I shouldn't need a translator. (I figured out from the context that "My Sweet Baboo" refers to Castiel; why, I don't know. There's no explanation. Seriously, they need some sort of glossary if they're going to do this sort of thing.)
Some of the smaller shows had decent discussions--but I found for the ones where they ran recaps and had an entire forum of multiple threads per show they were havens for nutjobs.
And, seriously, Amy if you point shit out to the recappers/mods that they don't like, they wield a might banhammer. Jengod got herself banned, if memory serves.
Just not my thing. They now work too hard to be special.
I don't get the line between snark and venom that TWOP dances around.
I feel like they vaulted over that line a while back, at least as far as SPN is concerned.
You know whose recaps I would love to read? Mark of 'Mark Reads.' I've enjoyed reading his Hunger Games and Doctor Who recaps immensely. When he squees, it's infectious, and when there is something that doesn't work for him, he explains
why
it doesn't work for him (or bothers him, or annoys him) rather than just mocking it. He really gets that it's possible to love a show or a book and balance squee and critique.
In the interest of full disclosure, he utterly eviscerated
Twilight,
and it was glorious.

He will be watching at least the first season of
Supernatural,
but he's got a few other shows in his queue before. And you know what's next?
AVATAR.
EEEEE!!! That is great news on both fronts.
Zatnikatel is a nerd. It's not as funny/hot as the architecture porn, but it's pretty amusing. Also, informative, at least in theory.

Seriously.
I should go read the Twilight thing, but it's been so long since I read it. And I think I've blocked most of it out by now ...

Ooh that reminds me I still haven't read his
Twilight.
