The result is that fans of a show like VM can now point to TWoP -- basically a joke site -- as evidence that their show is high art and everything else is crap. TWoP is great for writing fivers or catching up on an episode you missed, but it's not remotely reliable as critical commentary.
I totally disagree. Sure, a lot of TWoP is snark, but it's fairly rare that I read a scathing recap and don't feel the show deserved it for lazy, anvillicious writing or some such thing. It's not the be all and end all as a measuring stick for television, certainly, but I do think that they have an appreciation for strong writing and television that's well thought-out and executed and when they start praising a show I pay attention.
