That is SUCH a good show choir song! The Avril, I mean. Totally melodramatic and anvilicious, with lots of fun belting.
I kind of love Avril, and this song was made for this.
I'm kind of falling for Quinn a little. The actress is doing an excellent job with a rather cliched plot. I'm moving less and less toward wanting Finn to go with Rachel. Except I don't actually love Finn that much, so whatever. What I actually want, I think, is Finn/Rachel and Quinn/Artie. Because Artie is totally awesome and should TOTALLY score the hot cheerleader babe gone bad in the weird alternate universe that is Glee.
I don't want Shu/Emma because the pining is too good. I'm all for the disappearance of Terri eventually (season finale, methinks, with maybe a "I've-seen-the-error-of-my-ways-please-take-me-back-"I-have-to,-she's-my-family!" Addison/McDreamy thing in the second season), but I kind of hope we get a lot of Jim/Pam-esque buildup after Terri goes away for good before Shu/Emma happens for real. I like the tension!
But I'm not really invested in any of the romance, so it could go just about any way and I'll be happy as long as a) Sue, b) occasional cartoonishness, and c) awesome musical numbers, all continue.
Yes! How can he not realize Terri's faking it by now?
Well, wasn't it a couple of episodes back that he was shocked that she wanted to have sex so much more often than she had been? And yet conversely, she's been all touch me not about him not getting near her now that she's "pregnant."
I think what we're supposed to be buying into here is that they've had this very distant relationship for a long time and that overall, Will's been "settling" in all aspects of his life, for a really long time. Which is sad, when you consider what a relatively young man he is, but is so incredibly relevant in that I see a lot of people just settling. Resurrecting Glee isn't just about reclaiming the glory days of his youth, it's about reaching out and grabbing a dream that at some point, someone told him was out of reach and that the best he could do was settle. That's really the overarching theme of the whole show. Will's realizing that he's done too much settling and he's taking steps to resolve that. Finn realized as a little boy that he didn't want to settle. Quinn clearly doesn't want to settle.
ETA to add, it's interesting seeing how Will's return to Glee and performing has also prompted his dad to reevaluate what he's done with his life and reaching out for a long-held dream of becoming an attorney. It's all very much a snowball effect.
The characters who are willing to settle come across as the least sympathetic of the lot. And what makes Sue stand out is that she doesn't want to settle, she just wants to command her own little slice of the kingdom-- everyone else has to settle for what SHE wants.
For me, the most heartbreaking moment of the entire series so far and I think a real turning point for Will, was when he looked at Terri and said, "Every time I've had a fire in my life you come along and burn down the forest."
I'm probably overthinking this, but it seems as if there's so much good storytelling stuff going on beyond the surface fun stuff.
Yeah, that sounds right, Barb. And that makes a lot of sense looking at the way it's all structured.
I agree with the feeling that there's stuff bubbling under the surface. I hope it comes into play.
But really, sudofed? I take prescriptions pseudoephedrine when my ears get funky and it doesn't pep me up at ALL.
Oh yeah -- anything non-drowsy has me racing for days.
Sudafed is the only decongestant that doesn't also function as a sleepaid for me, FWIW. I'm no more noticeably peppy when I've taken it.
Your Metabolism May Vary.
Sudafed jumps me up into a wired mess. So that part actually rang true for me, except I know it doesn't affect everyone the same way, so there's that.

We are Marshall and Lily.
Hee. We definitely weren't the looking for a couple couple, but the SO & I were definitely the first married among our set. So we were always the married couple hanging out with all single people.
It is possible we give parties like those double dates, though. Heh. I hope not!
