The links I clicked on were just examples of the mentioned critics blogs. I just got a better understanding of what the material was referring to. Which is what I wanted to get out of them.

A Blank Slate
From the articles, I suppose the only thing I got from it was a brief synopsis of the history of media critics. Pretty much it went from a critique of the show from an unbiased(preferably) source, to an educated fan talking about the show. To me this is like watching re-runs of a series with a friend who loves the show. It's gone from a more objective analysis to a subjective one. This is a key flaw in the system in my opinion as it doesn't give the outsider a perspective they couldn't get from a friend.

Is more subjective criticism a flaw, or is it perhaps nice to have a mix of outside "objective" perspective mingling with subjective critiques? Subjective critique can offer a depth that an exterior view might not, while exterior non-fans might offer interesting perspective to a diehard fan?
ReplyDeleteI agree that both perspectives should be heard, but when the iPad 3 comes out, I'm going to pay more attention to the engadget review as opposed to pcworld or macworld.
