Like the way I bust on Lost in my episode summaries. Television Without Pity simply seems to get writers that utterly hate the shows they are summarizing, without, frankly, the humor. What's the point? The episode I was curious about was an Emmy-worthy episode. The writing was superb, the acting was great, and it filled in the backstory of Lorelai's pregnancy--and the writer was obsessed with proving how clever she was about making up nicknames for the actors. Waste. Won't be going back there again.
