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.

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.

No, Sue is crazy. And it's a fun sort of crazy. Terri's just a mean-spirited self-centered bitch. She's not a fun character for me to watch and actually takes some of the rhythm out of the show for me.

I'm with Barb on this one. I desperately want to read all of Sue's diary, but Terri can be gone now.
