Wasn't the main reason she was hired to be the Nostalgia Chick to review the girly shit that Doug never saw as a kid? 'Cause she never actually ended up doing that...

The only video I think I only saw her in was The Chipmunks movie review. (The 80's one) I think there was a joke in that one about her going rogue. -- I didn't like her in that review and thought it was terrible.
 
Most of her reviews are actually interesting tbh. I'd take her analysis of media over Doug's (and many others) "HAVE LAME JOKES AND SCREAMING BECAUSE THAT'S FUNNY RIGHT!?" mentality.
 
While I agree that Doug's reviewing style isn't funny, I don't find Lindsay's reviews interesting either. She seemed like she would rather use everything she reviewed as an excuse to talk about the social climate at the time the media was released, as opposed to actually reviewing the film or TV series itself. Not to mention, she rarely touched on the things she was actually supposed to be talking about (media aimed at young girls) and when she did, she half-assed it. Her review of the Last Unicorn was "I haven't seen this movie in years but I'm going to review it based on what I vaguely remember while walking through the woods BECAUSE WOODS ARE FITTING RIGHT?"

That's a big part of what criticism is. And if you're going to make a show that holds up nostalgic media to a critical light, discussing the social climate that directly or indirectly shaped a work's creation would be a pretty big part of it, no?

This is correct, but she talks more about the social climate instead of the product itself, which in most of her videos she merely mentions in passing
 
Yeah, they are. Doug's own review on the new GB movie basically sums itself up with "Jesus fuck people, everyone is entitled to their own opinion calm the fuck down."

It took the piss out of SJWs, Meninists and fanatical Ghostheads quite evenly and wasn't too shabby as reviews went.
 
Doug's always been pretty hit (awkward Walken moments review, nostalgic commercials, etc) or miss (that one Simpsons game let's play jesus christ...) but I give him some credit for sticking to his principles instead of kowtowing to one side or the other. That, and helping wrangle all of the dramatic autists that always made up Channel Awesome can't be easy.

Does she still keep contact with Doug or anyone in channel awesome as of now?

The only current Channel Awesome contributors I've seen Lindsay interact with recently are Todd, Rantasmo, and Brad - which isn't saying much since Todd is her roommate(?) and Rantasmo has ties to ChezApocalypse.

As for former contributors, she seems close with Kyle Kallgren (also with ties to ChezApocalypse) and JesuOtaku, & as far as I know she still gets along with Lupa.

As for Doug in particular, I get the impression she tries to avoid contact with him. Whenever she talks about her time at Channel Awesome she seems unhappy. Plus I remember she complained once on probably-Twitter about "Doug makes fun of me on Facebook for fangirling over Tom Hardy" lmaooo
