Happy Discovery!
Jun. 29th, 2006 05:22 pmLooking up one thing led to another, and another, leading to my stumbling onto a new [to me] recap site, Fandomtalk. http://www.fandomtalk.com/ Happy, happy day! If I miss a show, my usual recourse is to find a recap. I usually google for a couple of options and get my fix by reading a couple of them. TWOP has been a staple, but I don't really like their recaps. I hate clicking to a new page, hate how many pages they are (should a recap take nearly as long to read as it takes to watch the show?), and (burying the lead here) I don't come away feeling like I've gotten the essence of the show, exactly. I may have been amused, or annoyed, by the recapper's personal observations, but I'm really there to find out about the show, so.
Here's a clip from fandomtalk's FAQs:

I do! I enjoy it very much! I missed the finale of Grey's Anatomy, what with the whole trip to Mexico 'n' all, and, despite reading TWOP's and getting some friends to recap it their words, fandom talk's recap is the first I've felt like I "saw" the episode. Here's a comparison of the two, of an innocuous scene from GA's finale. It's a pretty good demo of how the two are different:

The first? I really don't care about Keckler or the recapper. The second? I believe the scene is described as it was filmed and shown, and I worship that they quote dialogue. Dialogue was quoted often in the GA finale, especially in the Big Scenes. HALLELUJAH! I'd much rather read what was written/shown in an ep than someone else's snarky interpretation.
So that's my post for today. Oh, and perhaps my friends who were XF fans will enjoy this snippet from the GA recapper's bio: Diana_Lesky is...not her real name. It's an obscure X-Files reference, and you win brownie points with her if you can tell her where it comes from.

Jun. 29th, 2006 06:26 pmlimbsoup posted a lovely travelogue about camping around the Big Island, with wonderful photos. Katerinabead, check out the crater photos (we couldn't see it when there because of the vog (volcanic fog)).

Wilderness exhange has a funny list of 100 things you can do with a bandana. I like #79 (and I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be "hairpiece." Hee!
