Richard Lawson and his recaps are leaving Gawker:
Programming Note: As it would happen tomorrow is my last day writing for this site. I have taken a job over at the Atlantic Wire where I will be covering entertainment and other “culture,” but I do not think, at least immediately, that recapping will factor into that. So this is it! (For me, at least. Brian Moylan will be finishing out this season here on Gawker.) It is a sad thing, well really a bittersweet thing, as I’m sad to lose the weekly conversations with all of you, but, to be honest, a little glad to not feel the constant burn-out of having to sit down and watch yet another show late at night for work. If you’ll indulge me, I would like to briefly thank you all for being such loyal and kind readers. These recaps have been, if nothing else, a surprising and wonderful opportunity for me to stretch my legs a bit as a writer, to get real weird with it as Danny DeVito might say, and that you loyal folks have followed me down even my strangest rabbit holes is something I’m quite grateful for. I’m not sure how I can repay you the gift of your time that you’ve given me in reading all these things, but hopefully somewhere down the line I’ll find a way. I am not departing this internet, of course. I’ll be at the Atlantic Wire next week and am, if you so dare, on Twitter (@rilaws). Anyway, thanks so much! Thank you thank you thank you, seriously! It’s been a pleasure.
