Did you notice (oh I forget their numbers) the one minion run across the screen with the other minion's head at the beginning?

the head was 24, can't remember the other one's number.

um, "Bust a Move" doesn't have enough singing to be a good singing group song. The backing track isn't enough to be a song.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I only watch Glee for the musical numbers. The "plot" is just a waste of time for me.

Honestly, it's a lot like some musicals that way. The characters and plots are mostly very broad brushes connecting up the musical numbers. I don't care. I'm just enjoying the ride.

And I kind of want to be Sue Sylvester when I grow up.

“Not dead yet!”

I identified the first wedding dress as a Princess Di knock off from the back.

Lewis was terrified when Emma said the line about her and her cousin idolizing Princess Di as little girls.

Puck's "message from God" had me howling. And you know, while the characters might be drawn with some broad brushes, every now and again, there are some subtle shadings painted in, like with Puck, that start adding depth and interest.

I think what I liked best, tonight, was hearing the "Flight of the Bumblebees" following the slushies down the hallway, seeking out their targets. Hee.

Oh for sure. Even if structurally it's got that basis the television medium allows them to fill in those brush strokes, if I'm not totally overworking the metaphor. And even a sketchy as they started out, there've always been layers, some of them kind of unexpected. What's her name, the main guy's wife, for example, is unexpectedly sympathetic. Which makes him actually a lot less likable than that role might typically be conceived.

The sister in law and Sue (mostly) excepted, of course.

I'm totally high on Puck right now. And I kind of fell in love with Kurt tonight.
