"Reviews of This Blog seems to finally be whipping itself into form. If one follows the ascension of reviews chronologically, there seems to be a beautifully flowering narrative and stylistic direction emerging from the apathetic (and, if one must be honest, pathetically basic) self-reference of the opening entries. The anonymous first author, although she can hardly be blamed for the fiery display of her rhetoric, woefully overshoots her target of 'hitting the nail on the head.' Not a promising start, perhaps, but by the time Farell offers us his scathing (and by now famous) critique of Farell, the quality of the prose has increased significantly. Indeed, who can forget Leontyev's 'abruptly'-ending and magisterial tour through the problems of reviewing problems? Who can even imagine the excitement that Haze must of felt when the realization occurred that 'the present note' is indeed 'correct'? The literature on self-reference still hasn't recovered! This reviewer still remembers the first time that he encountered Seddon's fiery wondering of 'why a two-column blog layout was selected at all.' Why indeed!

Now that the style and intent of Reviews of This Blog has been well-established, it can only be assumed that the next artistic step would be to begin self-referencing the developed style of self-reference that the blog has come to inhabit. Also, this reviewer would suggest a separate chronicle, perhaps entitled "Reviews of 'Reviews of This Blog'", to help deal with the overwhelming amount of self-referential metacriticism that is sure to be written on the newly discovered self-reference style of the original blog." -- Brett Karlan
