Why Sars's recaps suck (and Jessica's rock)
Okay the one thing I have to tip my hat to on TWoP lately is the Hurricane Relief effort (then again parting sheeple from their money has never been difficult). And more importantly some of the Mundo extras we have been given as extras.
For me Jessica's review on the Melrose Place episode 2x28 "The Bitch is Back" a.k.a OMG she ripped off teh wig!!!111one!!! is for me at least best. recap. ever. It basically everything I love about Jessica and why she is and will forever be my favorite recapper (plus she comes across on the board as a genuinely nice person - even if a little fangirly - unlike the other twats).
Anyhoo, Sars-rhymes-with-cars did her review on the pilot of "Beverly Hills 90210" and I kept reading it thinking 'this is the lamest thing ever' and 'Jessica so would of done a better cooler job'.
Basically Sars doesn't know how to write good reviews or if she did once (I have to admit I am not a big enough fan of 'Dawson's Creek' to bother looking) she lost it along time ago. First of all she for the most part wrote the review as a straight review with only snide pop-culture references to the fashion. I mean we live in a post-Clueless world and that pilot offered so many Clueless type moments and yet she skipped them all for a straight up and down recap.
God it was painful.
Sars-rhymes-with-cars just has no sense of humour, wit and snark. If anything BH 90210, at least the early seasons would of been brilliant to rip apart in a recap, we would've had the wit, snark and manicured nails flying everywhere!
I counted a couple of times in the recap that I thought I was on the verge of something hilarious and witty and was let down (hey when you have a paragraph talking about the Kelly-Steve conversation about Kelly's nosejob over the summer... I expect something... yet I got nothing). |
