Ask John!

It wasn't one of my favourites, but I was half dead watching it. But normally character moments stick with me, even if the nuances fall through the cracks. Not that much this time.

Yeah, it wasn't very FUN.

There were some nice moments here and there (like Eliot fighting the guy in the soundproof booth), but...yeah, I can't think of much more heist-y, caper-y fun times.

It was written by M. Scott Veach, who also wrote "The Top Hat Job." Huh, I think I liked that one, though.

I liked the Hard Day's Night bit.

Alona Tal seems far too young to be kissing Elliot.

I liked it better on second viewing, but yeah, it wasn't one of my favorites. And I wondered about the whole instant-fanbase thing too. Would Kirkwood have just said "Kenneth Crane" sang a cover of his song? He was planning for "Crane" to be dead, anyway, so he couldn't have defended himself.

I would have been happier if "Kenneth Crane" didn't sound so much like "Christian Kane", too.

I enjoyed the episode, it just didn't wow me.

I liked the episode. I really like Christian Kane's voice, which says a lot, since I don't like country music. I even have that terrible song that he sang in the VH1 movie with Monica. They should release that on iTunes, people would buy it.

I liked hearing John Schneider sing (had a little thing for him ever since Bo Duke, although now he's a crazy Christian)

I will, however, grant that the plot didn't make much sense. It's hard to see how Kenneth Crane could have gotten such a following, but Kirkwood could steal his song. Also, didn't make sense that all of the A&R folks were suddenly after Alona after a few bars of the song.

Disbelief suspended!

Also, didn't make sense that all of the A&R folks were suddenly after Alona after a few bars of the song.

I figured that might have been because not only her voice but her looks were very well suited to country-music stardom!

I could listen to CK sing all day. Sometimes I do.

Alona Tal seems far too young to be kissing Elliot.

Yeah, I thought that too.

And I wondered about the whole instant-fanbase thing too

I was amused by that because it now appears to be a running gag with Eliot.

Also, didn't make sense that all of the A&R folks were suddenly after Alona after a few bars of the song.

Because she's pretty.

I cracked up over the 'pitchy' hissy fit. "I don't think that word means what you think it means." Princess Bride FTW.

Alona Tal seems far too young to be kissing Elliot.

eh...there's only 9 years difference between them. CK just hasn't aged all that well.

having this episode set in a town i spent most of my childhood in made the accents buuuuuuuuuuurn. especially Alona's.

also? i already have many issues with CK and find it hard to enjoy Eliot as a character. this episode did not help that. i'm still hella amused that he's calling 'The House Rules' a new song. our definitions of new must be vastly different.

Not from Memphis, but yes. So wrong. Of course, "Worcester" didn't ping me at all! Heh.
