Okay, last time I talked about this subject, I was complaining about how people put their episode reviews into the show review section. Now, I wish to complain about people making really dumb sounding reviews that are structured so badly, they alone could scare people away from the show simply because of the kinds of crazy people the show attracts.

Here is an actual example of one of these reviews. (name withheld to protect the mentally inefficient)

Smallville

Rating: 10 (there's a shocker)

Review title: Is lex ever comming back?

Review: I wonder if lex ever comes back becaus it would have been very cool if he came back. i dont have more to say and i have too write 100 words but i am reviewing this show becaus it is a cool show but stupid too have too write 100 words. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 7 4 5 96 6 6 6 6 6 6 58 98 96 898 9 8 69 86 8 898 9 9898 89 98 98 98 98 98 89 89 8 89 86 86 9868 6 8 987

***End Review***

This is not going to attract anyone to the show. Heck, I like the show, but after reading a review like this, I almost wonder why I like it. Okay, maybe things aren't that bad, but it's still pretty bad.

Now I have to say, not only is this a horribly structured review, but it's a cl@ssic (darn html formatting issues) example of the blind 10 and or 0 rating. I can accept a 10 or 0 rating if there's an intelligent review behind it, but the instant or blind 10 or 0 rating left on shows that - for example - haven't even aired yet is insane.

Thank you, and good night.

My good man. I think it is you who is the retard as you so crudely remarked, here. Can you not see the genius behind this magnificent review? It saddens me that such majesty will be lost to readers with a "lesser view in life". I mean look at those words.."i have too write 100 words but i am reviewing this show becaus it is a cool show" SHEER POETRY..simply beautiful. And that wondrous arrangement of simple numbers : "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 7 4 5 96 6 6 6 " It brings a single tear to my eye.

In response to your blog: Well said. Reviews like that get annoying for me too (though the ones that are ratings of like 0 or 1 and then they something like "This show sucks" are what really get under my skin). And in response to frankensteindr's comment: XDXDXDXDXD

Don't feel like making a part 3, so here I go.

I also can not stand it when people make negative reviews about a show, but don't give any reason whatsoever for the negativity. (same problem with positive reviews, but to a lesser extent)
