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.
Wow.
I thought I had more to say, but apparently not.
He needs to go rub iliac crests with the Js and Misha right now. In a non-porny non-RPF way. Isn't that what you do with a crest like that? Good god.
