Reviewing The Gift

Following the airing of “The Gift”, we managed to get up the book-to-screen breakdown in our episode guide.

Since then, we’ve released two other parts of the guide. First up is our video review, which you can see below:

Last night, we also provided our written analysis of the episode, which touches some points that we didn’t cover in the video. You can find that here. The primary thing left is now our complete recap, which we’ll definitely do, but that particular part of our regular episode guide raises a question.

For those who visit our episode guide regularly: how useful do you find the exhaustive, scene-by-scene recaps? They are a significant time commitment, and we’re concerned that that level of detail is no longer necessary in a recap now that the show is simulcast in much of the world. Back in the first season, when some areas had weeks or even months to wait for the episode, we knew that some fans would be very grateful for a recap with so much detail, but now we’re less certain and wonder if we couldn’t better devote our efforts elsewhere.

So, if you’ve any thoughts on whether we should continue the recaps after this season, do comment!
