An inauspicious beginning to my blog – but whoever agreed with my review of Primeval episode 5: (a) thanks – it made my day; (b) how on Earth, in any era, did you agree with all that (including the cleavage)? There's actually a serious point here: what I want to know about a review is, 'Is it worth reading?'. And that's not answered by the false dichotomy of the current agree/disagree system. Indeed for a show like Primeval, which is polarising opinion, 'agree/disagree' favours the most ambiguous or contentious reviews. (Which review would you be more curious about: one with 3×agrees, or one with 2×agrees and 2×disagrees?) What's needed is another button – one saying 'Recommend this review' that could be used to commend interesting or challenging writers, whatever their opinion. So, for example, a highly recommended but disagreed-with review would hint at a reviewer bravely challenging the popular orthodoxy; whereas a highly disagreed-with but unrecommended review would represent unfiltered pond scum. At minimum, a recommendation system (or even a 'most read' system such as found on every news site) would be another shovel for sifting 30-odd reviews to find the diamonds amongst the coal. And that's gotta be a plus.
