I finally found time away from college to work more on this site, and the one thing that makes me happy is the fact that I don't see that many bugs. I am still waiting for that darker version of TV.com, but they haven't published that yet. I wonder when that will happen. I have to do some catching up with my soap guides, so I guess I'll be quite busy here. I am also still working on removing all of those wrong episode titles.
I had another encounter with an editor that rejected my valid submission and resubmitted it under his own, then claimed that he had submitted it before I did (even though I submitted it two days ago and the editor did it today). It's just another lesson to all editors---do not submit to guides that are not yours, chances are your submissions are going to get rejected whenever the editor feels like it.
The thing that brought a smile on my face was watching Dead Like Me: Life After Death. I won't get into it too much, but just seeing the gang back together brought so much joy that I was happy the entire day, which is quite rare. I wrote a recap and a review on the movie. I really hope the DVD release turns out to be a success so there would be a chance to revive the show one day. It all brought back the agony I felt after this masterpiece was canceled in 2004.
In other DVD news, I recently started watching Frasier and Dharma & Greg and I enjoy both series very much. I'm also watching Season 2 of 30 Rock and the very last season of Alias, both also amazing series. Yesterday I also watched the premiere of Dollhouse. Half the people are raving that the show wasn't good (because they expect nothing but amazing shows from Whedon), but I actually found it quite interesting. Plus seeing Eliza Dushku is an added bonus.

It most definitely will be somewhere online. Be sure to check it. I was quite confused at the beginning (every pilot is that way), but it eventually all made sense. I'm very interested in seeing what's next.

My experience has been that it depends on the editor. I've run into douches like the person you've described, but they usually are forced into retirement once enough complaints are lodged against them.
As for Dollhouse, I think Whedon has just been turning out so much product in the last few years that he is starting to dry up. He honestly should take some time off to relax, refresh his mind and approach his next project when he's good and ready, not because he wants to ride the wave of his own popularity.

When it comes to Whedon, I must agree that he needs time to cool off, but he claims he doesn't. He even said he already had written down the character progress for Dollhouse for the first five season. But with the ratings it got, I just don't see the show surviving even past this season.

Be sure to report that person. We can't let those recap stealers get away with it.

It wasn't a recap, but still. I had complained about the editor a couple of times but nothing ever happened. It just doesn't pay off. He'll probably spend a couple of years on this site because he's working on guides that aren't exactly too important to the staff.
