ost_uid0]Well, first of all, my main use for the TWoP writeups isn't as reviews -- it's as reference material. I take notes as I watch ENT, but when I haven't seen a given episode in a while, Keckler's writeup is the best way to refresh my memory about what happened in what order. I've relied heavily on TWoP this year for [i
ost_uid0]Enterprise[/i
ost_uid0], along with [i
ost_uid0]The O. C.[/i
ost_uid0] and several of the Cheese fivers. It's also a useful source for [i
ost_uid0]Buffy[/i
ost_uid0] and [i
ost_uid0]Angel[/i
ost_uid0], but the full scripts for those shows are widely available online, so it's less necessary.
As for TWoP's basher tendencies, you're right that the writeups aren't always easy reading for a sympathetic fan. The site as a whole is much more malicious than I try to be with 5MV, and they're quite up-front about that. But even at their worst, they're still not as vicious as a lot of the ENT reviews you'll find out there (Whettestone, I'm talking to you). More important, Keckler's reviews have changed almost [i
ost_uid0]miraculously[/i
ost_uid0] over the course of the season -- you could see the show gradually proving itself to her. I'd go so far as to say she's more positive than not about ENT now. Look again at her reviews from about "Twilight" on, and you'll notice her overall assessment of each episode is almost always good -- even "Carpenter Street" and "Harbinger," which I had trouble liking, and you know what a Polyanna I am for this series.
Finally, I completely disagree with you about Michelle Erica Green (TrekToday's reviewer). She's come a long way since her insane rants in [i
ost_uid0]Voyager[/i
ost_uid0] S7 -- she gave this series a clean slate, and though things were sometimes bumpy at first (can we say "Shuttlepod One"?), she came to respect [i
ost_uid0]Enterprise[/i
ost_uid0]. Her S3 reviews were among the most insightful out there.[/color
