Writing Less to Write More: No More Reviews
posted in television on
Well... not all reviews are getting canned from this blog. I've decided that too much of my time during the week (when I actually get time to blog) ends up going towards reviewing television episodes of Dollhouse and Fringe. Now I enjoy writing those reviews, but too often I feel obligated to make sure I get those out, even if I have a better blog post on the burner.
Furthermore, the reviews often end up being short thoughts since usually, only a small portion of each episode releases information on their mythology-based subplots. This means that only minute pieces from episode to episode spurn any creative philosophical thinking on plot points. I feel that because of this, I'm not giving enough of a solid critique.
As a result, I'll no longer be posting "per episode" reviews of any shows. Instead, I'm going to lump those reviews into a "themed" review. This means that I'll be writing reviews when I feel that the television series warrants it, and those reviews will focus on a piece of the mythology or narrative to examine some of the philosophical aspects of the series.
By doing reviews like this, it'll not only increase the quality of the reviews themselves, but it'll also allow me more time to focus on writing about philosophy and other important areas of critique.
