Taking the hassle out of the technological aspects of posting the reviews, especially, is long overdue and hopefully will help you focus on the enjoyable aspects of having your own website. See my remarks on length in the Rebirth review's Comments thread. I guess I should have posted that here instead (it has much more to do with this thread than the Rebirth episode itself), but I was responding to your footnote there. Ah, well. Live and learn.

I'm guessing you got up to speed in time for Season 6? And...despite this being a post about you managing your free time, heh...what are your thoughts? Not that I'm expecting complete reviews, but would love to read even just the one article on it. I think the show got badly maligned in its middle years, and rightfully so in some spots (when they didn't have an end date and kept drip-feeding the content for fear of running out), but I think it's coming together nicely at the end. May just top Six Feet Under as my number 1 show...depending on the finale... I think in your review for the BSG final episode you mentioned in the comments you were starting Lost.

I've been reading Jammer's Reviews for a few years now, but never in real-time (I watched BSG just a few months ago) so this will be fun. I have to say I love your long reviews, they're very interesting and there aren't many sources where I can get in-depth analysis of shows I like. This is not to say I think you should do them (real-life prioritizing ftw), but just to say that for this reader at least all that time and effort you put into them were really worth it. Now to read those TNG reviews I'd forgotten about ^^ Yay for Caprica reviews !

Even when I do not necessarily agree with your assessment of an episode, I always enjoy your perspective and analysis. And I think you'll find the "blog review" format to be a bit liberating, allowing you to focus all your efforts on just writing and posting (Wordpress is very good for that approach). I've been using it since '07 and love its streamlined setup. Can't wait for the TNG reviews, as well! Jammer,

They won't be posted here in the blog. I will simply use the blog at that point to notify people who are following the blog RSS feed that new TNG reviews are available. At some point, yes, a season page over at JR for Caprica will follow as well. Exactly when, we'll see. But for the sake of navigation that will be the route I eventually take.

I really like the season pages for navigation purposes - maybe when you get a run of Caprica episodes together, you'll make a season page with links to the blog entry pages?

Less yay for reviews being shorter, but that's OK if it'll give you enough time to review TNG as well. :D Good luck with the new format! Yay for reviews being more on time!
