Season 1: Revisited MikeJer, posted August 28, 2010 (Saturday) @ 1:12pm PDTLink |
As promised a long, long time ago, I've finally started rewriting my Season 1 reviews! Check out my more thorough look at "Welcome to the Hellmouth" [1x01] and "The Harvest" [1x02] to kick things off.

The Fuuuuuuture! MikeJer, posted July 25, 2010 (Sunday) @ 11:08pm PDTLink |
144 episode reviews and 7 comprehensive season reviews. I clearly don't have a life. I'm going to take a moment here to just marvel at that (both the accomplishment and the not-having-a-life thing). (beat) Okay, moving on.
Here's a list of the latest news on my site along with what's next for me:
1. First, don't forget to read my incredibly thorough Season 7 Review.
2. Over the weekend I developed a RSS feed for CriticallyTouched.com. Take a look at this forum post for information on using it.
3. When I began this site I really didn't know what I was doing or how far I really wanted to go. It was as I was reviewing S2 that I began to realize just how much I had to say about the show. In light of this, my S1 reviews are mostly terrible. Since I've already devoted an insane amount of hours to this site, I can't leave those reviews in their current state. So I will very soon be doing complete rewrites of all my S1 reviews. This is the next piece of content you can expect from me.
4. After I re-review S1 I will be embarking on what I'm calling my 'polish pass.' This polishing process will mostly involve review improvements, typo fixes, and grade tweaks. The end goal here is to have a polished, tight, and complete package of a site that I can be proud to show people from episode 1 to episode 144. Obviously the further I get into the series the less polishing will be required. In light of all of this, the polish pass will be much faster than the initial reviewing was.
5. You should head over to the Angel site for some breaking news about what's next there. Ryan will not be finishing those reviews and I've enlisted the community to help me get them finished. This means that, yes, I will be reviewing ~10 S4 and S5 Angel episodes! My reviews will start popping up sometime after I finish rewriting my Buffy S1 reviews.
So I think that covers it for now. That'll keep me plenty busy for a little while. Thanks again for all the gracious e-mails, comments, and forum posts I've been getting lately! It's genuinely appreciated. Now, onward! More Buffy awaits!

Season 7 Review MikeJer, posted July 18, 2010 (Sunday) @ 11:14pm PDTLink |
At long last my Season 7 Review is complete. I'll let the review speak for itself. Expect some news on what's next for me very soon. For now: enjoy!

Twitter Time! MikeJer, posted June 1, 2010 (Tuesday) @ 12:10pm PDTLink |
Hi all, status update time. A couple things to report:
1. The Season 7 Review is partially complete and is still being working on. Admittedly it's been slow going, but progress is being made nonetheless. The primary reasons for it not being done yet? Lingering health issues resulting from a mean food poisoning episode a few months back and, well, the StarCraft 2 Beta sucking up a bunch of my free time.
2. You can now follow me (and the network) on Twitter: http://twitter.com/CriticallyTouch. Small status updates, information on bug fixes, and early news on new things happening with the network (including my site) will be posted there, by me.
I'm really looking forward to starting my 'polish pass' over the whole series again (and re-reviewing S1) as soon as I get that Season 7 Review wrapped up. Sorry it's taking so long, but it'll be worth it in the end. :)
Also, thanks to all the new readers who have sent me e-mails, joined the forum, and started commenting on various reviews. Huzzah for Netflix Watch Instantly! It's lovely to see fresh faces in this wonderful community. Welcome!

Hi all! I know it's been a while since I've said anything, but the holidays and personal stuff have kept me plenty busy as of late. With that said, I'm looking to spin up my writing wheels and get going on that Season 7 Review I know you're all anxiously biting your nails for. So please stop biting your nails -- it's just not becoming.
It'll still likely take me a little while to put the review together though, so don't get too excited quite yet. It'll be done at precisely the moment it is done. Comforting, isn't it?
Thanks for your patience! Please know that I still check for and read new comments daily and frequent the forums even if I don't post much.
