Television Without Pity

I think, I think that that was ...

Back in the day there was this thing called Television Without Pity that used to do recaps and I was just not gonna watch Enterprise.

I didn't even know how I would do that at the time.

Um, you know, like, um, like it was on telly or something.

I wasn't gonna buy the VHS tapes like I did for Voyager.

Um, and so I was watching the recaps on Television Without Pity and I'm pretty sure they d- they called that guy shower guy.

I mean, you know who he is, right? He's fucking Hedin from Arc of Infinity with his black pencil.

Yeah.

Well, I went back and looked at the AV Club's original review of this episode.

They did like a kind of a running commentary, kind of like, you know, Television Without Pity or, you know, one of those.

Yeah.

So AV Club's original review.

And then shortly after supernaturalvid was created, I don't think related to that, but the term Metallicar was coined, and that was actually not coined on LiveJournal.

It was coined in the fan community, um, sorry, message boards on Television Without Pity.

Oh, Television Without Pity.

[laughs]

And the Metallicar, for anybody like me, who is not particularly Supernatural literate, like me, the Metallicar is obviously-

Chevy Impala.

Yes, it's Baby.

According to the Super Wiki, that is who traced the coinage back to Television Without Pity in, on October 11th of 2005.

So when I used to watch the show...

It was in the era of Television Without Pity.

Did you read recaps on Television Without Pity?

No.

So it was the early 2000s, and there was this site called Television Without Pity where it was all recaps of shows.

Oh.

And...

They recapped Lost.

First, there were message boards, folks.

Television Without Pity, check that out back in the day.

And before that, there was, I mean, there's Reddit, of course, but before that, there was like, I think it was just your family and friends would talk about together, maybe at the coffee clutch, you know, coffee clatch.

And you would talk about it.
