Heh. I get where you're coming from, even though I finally gave it up by mid-S2. Setting aside the assumption that TwoP recaps are supposed to be funny, not philosophical meanderings, I'm normally all up for philosophical meanderings about my fandom obsessions -- as long as they make sense. And I kept waiting for the recaps to get to a point (what the hell about grace, for God's sake?) and until I realized that they never, ever would. It was just someone far too in love with his own Deep Thoughts to bother clearly communicating them to the reader.
Once I accepted that, I kept reading for a while in a train-wreck, I-like-being-irritated kind of way, until I gradually kicked the habit.
Now the comment above about it being dropped is interesting. It's hard not to see it as somehow part of a conspiracy theory. I hated the recaps and I don't know how dropping them would benefit Bravo, but there must be something dodgy about it, I'm sure!
