Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I'm still, slowly, chugging away at reviewing some Angel episodes, but I'm getting closer to moving back over to Buffy. I'm really looking forward to taking another look at Season 2 and touching up those reviews.

In the meantime, here's a little treat I think some of you will enjoy. I've thrown together a new article that lists my current favorite Buffy fan music videos. I think they're all quite impressive, so you should check them out.

I just wanted to wish all my readers a very merry Christmas, and a wonderful holiday season. I will still be working on some Angel reviews for a while, of which you can follow here, but I am also very much looking forward to starting my polish pass beginning with the refinement of my "When She Was Bad" [2x01] review.

Stay tuned, as 2012 should be a fun year for Critically Touched, even beyond what I've already announced. Well, this is as long as the world doesn't end. ;)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to pop on here and let you know where things are at in regard to the site. I am still currently working through the handful of Angel reviews I agreed to do -- quicker progress on this should be happening soon. After that, you will begin to see (hopefully) some more regular updates to my Buffy reviews, starting in Season 2. For those of you that may have forgotten, I'm calling this process my 'polish pass.'

So hang on just a little while longer before you start seeing some fresh updates on the site. To hold you over I highly suggest you get caught up on AMC's "Breaking Bad" -- so far it's been an excellent show.

Well, I've finally lived up to my promise of several years to completely rewrite my reviews of Season 1. Take a gander at my fresh and much more comprehensive take on Buffy's flawed inaugural season.

The Season 1 finale "Prophecy Girl" [1x12] has been reviewed again, only this time with actual analysis! I'm not sure when it will happen, but I'll be working on updating the Season 1 Review next. After that, I'm going to start reviewing a handful of Angel episodes. After that, I'll jump right into my "polish pass" of the rest of my reviews. Huzzah!

Yeah, okay, that title isn't the most clever. It's late, so I hope you'll let this one slide. ;)

To make up for it, though, I've got two wonderful new re-reviews covering "Nightmares" [1x10] and "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" [1x11]. Enjoy! The Season 1 rewrites are almost complete! :D

My refreshed take on the entirely inconsequential "The Puppet Show" [1x09] is done and up for consumption. Not much to say about this one I'm afraid.

Hey there, shiny readers! Go have a gander and my refurbished reviews of one of S1's standouts, "Angel" [1x07], and one of S1's clunkers, "I Robot, You Jane" [1x08]. Both reviews are certified fun for the whole family!

My refreshed take on "The Pack" [1x06] is live! While I fully expected to like the episode more than before, I ended up finding more (and actually thought-out) reasons I didn't care for it.

The updated Season 1 reviews continue with my refreshed look at the decent "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" [1x05]. I've already got my notes written for "The Pack" as well, so expect that review to go up soon.
