TWoP recaps

[slemslempike]

Victoria demands both supper and clothes for Miss Tyler: "I'm tired of nakedness." (Yeah, and 250 years later you still need a prescription for Plan B, you old bitch.)

So Jacob (Televisionwithoutpity recapper), in addition to misunderstanding at least half of the cultural references in Doctor Who and being too much of a fool to ask about them, thinks that Queen Victoria is to blame for the state of reproductive freedom in the United States? An entirely separate country both then and now? Although he's probably not aware of it, in Britain we don't need a prescription for emergency contraception anymore. And even when we did I don't think that there were many people refusing to sell it. But that aside, what? He also brings up the whole Victorians covering furniture legs for modesty and is generally rather dire. Last series I read the recaps because they were hilariously awful, and now he has sucked out the hilarity. Now I read because I like a nice bit of controlled hatred in my life.

He's unbearable. And this shouldn't be a surprise to me as the vast majority of TWoP leaves me rather cold now, but it somehow is. They would be better written by someone who hated DW, sci-fi, Britain and everything they all stood for. I found the site through 7th Heaven recaps, which were wonderful. Deborah was very geeky about things on the West Wing, but she was interested in telling us things, not telling us that she knew things.

I used to like Aaron's recaps, and then somehow when someone else took over recapping one of his shows it just wasn't fun anymore.

Yeah. I didn't like the WW recaps much when LTG took them over either. But usually I've just mildly disliked new recappers. Jacob is the only one for whom I have such distaste.

And now I'm reading this weeks recap and my god, he even steals information from a post on the forums and doesn't mention that particular fact. Plus, followed his ocnvluted though patterns is tiring *rages*

I admit I went to TWOP for Dawson's Creek recaps, which were utterly hilarious, and only stay for the Smallville ones. I might try the 7th Hweaven ones, seeing as lots of people say they're awesome
