They did a great job on that. I have a feeling I'm going to be earwormed for a while.

“Not dead yet!”

That was so unbelievably hysterical. I love that Emma doesn't back down from Terri.

Hey. New board.

I think I need to rewatch last night's Glee. I came out rather unsatisfied, but it may have been my mood.

I have to watch it, period. I did what I normally do not do, which is fast-forward through it to get to the musical scenes, and then watched the end when the shit hit the fan for Shu. I only did that because it was already 1:00 a.m. when I got to that point of my dvr queue, and I really had to go to bed.

My local Fox station had blank sceens and technical glitches throughout the vast majority of the episode. Though I did at least get to see most of the antihistamined-up mashup numbers. Apparently the rampant signal problems that made every episode of Dollhouse a frozen-frame pixelpalooza are now spreading.

My Fox channel is like that, too, Matt. I don't know if it's crappy equipment or if they put "must be incompetent" in their job postings for the people who run the stations. Anyway, it makes watching singing/dancing shows particularly frustrating.

Gris,

I actually thought the ep was better than a few recent eps, BUT...they also concentrated too much on the teachers and not enough on the students.

I'm really tired of Shu's wife. I want her dead by the side of the road. I'm also a bit tired of Emma. I like her professionally (she is a very good guidance counselor), but she needs behavior therapy in the worst way. I don't see her foibles as particularly funny anymore. She's really troubled.

No shit. I want to see a piano fall on her or something, particularly something gruesome. I just hate her that much.

I want her fake belly to fall out at the most inopportune moment. I also hate her because her character arc machinations make Will look really stupid and he's not.

I still maintain that I love how Emma didn't back down from her. I thought that was huge for her character.

Hey. New board.

I like Terri because she's crazy. Crazy is fun! Plus, her sister has some awesomely even-more-crazy lines, and if she goes away so goes the sister. I mean, the baby-plot is going to result in some terrible bye-bye-Terri at some point I assume, but I'm enjoying the build up to that.

Plus, the pilot ep, that "They're Balinese!" line about the mahogany toilet brush holders? Pure brilliance.

Emma is completely made of win, though I agree that some help is needed.
