It was all worth it for the entire football team dancing to the most inappropriate song possible. Um, is cheerleader girlfriend really preggers? I totally thought that was a ploy until mohawk dude came into the picture.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but preggers from mohawk dude, right?
I'm thinking I need to regard the whole show as wildly implausible but I'm going to roll with it. Dancing football players! Also, making the dad think, huh, guess he was practicing for football. Hee.
But yeah, not too sure why they went some of the directions they did with characterizations. Also! The blushing insecure stammering Asian girl does not seem consistent with her audition. I'm just saying, that was not a performance that lacked confidence.
Still having problems with the diversity issues; I hope they go where I want them too, but it's requiring a lot of patience and faith for a show I don't know.

I think that the anvil that we're trying not to be hit by is that when she sings, she has confidence, but not in "real life"

I continue to love The Big Bang Theory.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Just once before, I think. She's fab.

Oh, I forgot the other logical fallacy of Glee that annoyed me: The offense can't hold the line long enough to keep the quarterback from being sacked, but they can hold it long enough for Kirk to do his whole dance?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
They were loosened up! They were pumped that they could *actually* win a game! It was a Friday Night Lights MIRACLE!!!
They should film it and show it every year at Homecoming.

Bwah, Aims! Also, I think the other team was supposed to be shocked and unable to move, you know, until the number was over.

Sure, but the West Side Story performance she gave was tentative. And she was all wrought with giving it up for the teamness and imposter syndrome immediately afterwards. Harumph.
ALSO! WTF was lead chick doing complaining about getting the alto line? Anita's part is the best song in that show! Freaking sopranos.

Hee. "A BOY LIKE THAT! COULD KILL YOUR BROTHER!"
It's not like Rachel is really a soprano anyway. I mean, she's got the range, but she's more the belty type. I'm sure Tina's got the range too.
