S3 of Doctor Who starts airing on Sci-Fi on Friday. Which is very exciting. I haven't watched Runaway Bride since it aired. YAY DONNA! And Smith and Jones is on. YAY MARTHA!

Of course, this means that the recaps will be back up on TWOP. Presumably with Jacob as the recapper. Which means I can spend oodles of time banging my head against my desk as I read the horrific things. I can't NOT read them. It's like a sickness. Or badfic. You just have to see what shit he's going to say next.

It's all about grace, doncha know?

I can't NOT read them. It's like a sickness.

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!

Yeah. Jacob is... well, Jacob. He does a few other recaps for shows I watch, and they're ALL LIKE THAT. But I just can't stop. They're like bad crack or something.

I'm sure there's something dodgy going on. *kicks Bravo*

I'm confused (don't say it), but why would they drop it? It's still on the air, and they review ALL shows from ALL networks don't they?

They usually PH shows because they don't get enough hits. I can't imagine that'd be the case with DW, but I don't know why else they'd do it.
