Review Guide
Want to submit a review? Go right on ahead - submit it as a story. Here we are
using a 0-25 point system which is distilled into a final 0-5 point grade.
Below is the guide to the point system, but remember, it is a work in
progress...
Give from 0-5 points each for the following:
Plot/Story: How good was it? Did it make sense? In the case of a segment of
a series, did it move the overall arc somewhere?
- 0 - We're talking "Plan 9" here, without the unintentional
comedy factor
- 5 - Think Babylon 5, "Severed Dreams"
Character: Was there character development? Did they feel real? Was the
acting good?
- 0 - A brick could have been substituted and I wouldn't have
noticed
- 5 - I loved him like a family member
Visuals: Breathtaking or bland? In the case of non-visual media, how well
could you picture it in your mind?
- 0 - I could have done better with cardboard and a Super8 camera.
- 5 - Even ILM doesn't get this good.
Nitpicks: OK, we all love to pick at things. How badly did you nitpick?
- 0 - One word. "Armageddon".
- 5 - Solid. Watertight. We are talking hermetically sealed. Not even
a technobabblion particle used.
Overall: Basically, how well you liked it. This isn't an average of the
others, but a measure of your own response.
- 0 - I can't believe I ever watched this [comments deleted]
- 5 - Wow. It will never be deleted from my TiVo.
Depending on what it is you are reviewing (say, the DVD version of a movie
or show), it may be appropriate to replace one or more of the above
categories with something more appropriate (like "Special Features").
The total will then be reflected as an average from 0-5, for which I hope to
have some sort of graphic.
