Heaven forbid we miss an episode of one of our favorite TV shows. Between DVRs, endless marathons, and scheduled repeats, it’s darn near impossible to miss a program you really want to see these days. But just in case an episode does manage to slip by you, that marvelous invention called the Web offers recaps—those snarky synopses that outline everything you missed, sum up important plot lines, and offer opinion on what it all means. And recaps aren’t just for those who missed an episode—fans who want to relive a broadcast can wallow in its wonderfulness with an interpretive show summary.
