Similar to a post I made about a year and a half ago, an explanation on why some episodes of television programs I review are skipped:
Basically those skipped are by default reviewed as “Not worth your time”. I’m at least somewhat of a fan of every series I review…if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t bother reviewing it (unlike movies).
So it’s not someone that doesn’t like ‘Star Trek’ or ‘The Twilight Zone’ saying “it stinks”…it’s a FAN saying “I like X…but this particular episode of X sucks, skip it”.
Yes, I watch them all. If I’ve reviewed up to episode 50 that means I’ve watched all 50 episodes, even if I’ve only reviewed 20-25. An effort to save fellow fans time by avoiding dulllights. And if it’s borderline I usually include it just in case you might feel differently.
As for programs that I review completely, it’s either because I REALLY like them (‘Flying Circus’), they’re REALLY short-lived (‘The Vacant Lot’) or I just felt like it. But the only difference between an episode that I review as “This sucks” and one that I skip is that I saved keystrokes, basically.
It’s sh1tty work, but somebody’s gotta do it.
