A Few Changes Here At Grid Effect

by State School Elitist

I might make a habit of recapping and reviewing episodes on the morning that the subsequent episode is set to air, as opposed to the morning following the original air date. The reason for this is two fold. One, it extends my deadline. Instead of having a matter of hours to complete what’s usually a lengthy post, I now have close to six days, making my prose more cogent and entertaining. Two, it refreshes the readers memory before an episode he/she is most likely going to watch later that evening, a recap from the same day makes the backstory easier to apply and interpret. Typically, I recap an episode immediately after it airs, and by the time the following episode is set to broadcast, said recap is already off the homepage.

For example, a new episode of Friday Night Lights is scheduled to air tonight. I am posting my recap for last Wednesday’s episode sometime this afternoon.

In addition, each series that is regularly recapped will be segregated into its own category. This is for those new to the site, in case they are partial to one particular series I have recapped in the past, this makes some older posts more readily available.

If any of these changes are ill-advised and undesirable, then feel free to leave your complaints in the comments section. All feedback and suggestions, positive or otherwise, are welcomed.

(Update: The new practice of posting recaps of episodes the same day the following episode is set to air applies only to dramatic and hour long reality series’. Expect a review for sitcoms the day after they air).

About Grid Effect

Here at Grid Effect we discuss a morass of television series and recap a select few that are deemed worthy of such attention. We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
