My Brief Brush with Fame

Fame is fleeting. 

Last week, Showtime put a link to my review of “Dexter” on their web page for the show.  It was for episode 2 of season 7, “Sunshine and Frosty Swirl.” It was on a page called “In the News.”

This week I was so excited by the prospect of being recognized again that I got up early Monday morning and wrote my reviews for “Dexter" episode 703 that I named "Necessary, Greater and Lesser Evils" and “Homeland” episode 203 that I named "Wired."  It takes me about 3 hours to write a review and get it posted, so unless I want to pull an all-nighter, the reviews have to wait for Monday.  Also, I think the review is better if “I sleep on it” and let the ideas percolate through my brain.

But fame is fleeting.

Both “Dexter” and “Homeland” now have an “In the News” link.  Now the link takes you to a whole list of reviews. My review of episode 702 for Dexter is still up, but neither of my reviews for this week made the cut.  I think my reviews this week are just as good as the one I wrote last week.

Why didn’t I make the cut?  Fame is fleeting.

I'm a "Playa" Now

I write reviews of premium cable TV shows on my blog: http://premiumcablereviews.blogspot.com 
 

One of the shows I review each week is “Dexter” because it is one of my favorite shows

 

I am so thrilled. I noticed that my review of Showtime’s Dexter Season 2 episode 2 “Sunshine and Frosty Swirl” was getting hundreds of hits, way more than usual.  I saw from my stats that the hits were coming from http://www.sho.com/sho/dexter/home 

 

I followed that link. It went to the Dexter home page.

 

On the bottom right hand side of the Dexter home page, there is a link “In the News.”  That link goes to my blog.

It’s a thrill to have my review recognized by Showtime.  They liked it enough to link to it from the Dexter homepage.

 

As soon as I discovered this, I went to my review and proofed it.  I found some typos and fixed them.  Now that I’m a big time reviewer, a "playa", it wouldn’t do to have typos.

 

Please read my review.  If you like it, then like it on facebook and give it a +1 in google circles. If you haven’t watched the episode yet, but plan to see it, then take heed. SPOILER ALERT:  I discuss key plot points that you might not want to know about until after you see the episode.
