As mentioned, comments are greatly welcome -- one of the big reasons I posted this list is that I hoped I would attract some.
Bookmarked. Thanks for assembling this. Your blogs are definitely some of the most insightful in the fandom.

Thank you!
A formatting nitpick: I think the posts' titles would look nicer if they weren't surrounded by quotation marks. After all, they're already differentiated by the dark-green hyperlink color--quotation marks are redundant.
(And, of course, I find your posts both here and elsewhere to be quite interesting.)
Are you going to review more episodes like for example Threes a Crowd?
2467235
Probably, yes.
You wrote a LOT.
