long post about Glee a lot of which I find pretty interesting:

That's a great post, le nubian--thanks! I'll have to poke through the archive and read the person's reviews of previous eps.

I liked this observation:

Favourite visual of the episode: Emma on the phone with Will describing Artie ramming himself into the wall, and Artie ramming himself into the wall in the background. So great.

That was very funny. Oh, and in the final number for Shue, I liked the use of choreography from previous numbers from the season (Push It, the country number with April Rhodes, etc.)--brings a nice bookend to the first half of the season.

the country number with April Rhodes

Oh, *that's* why they were line dancing. /clueless

Yeah, that routine was full of little choreographic shout-outs to their earlier routines.

Brittany is my favorite secondary character now. Some of her line deliveries are genius.

I agree, Dana.

"Can anybody tell me what a ballad is?" "It's a male duck!" was genius.

I also liked somebody's (Kurt's?) description of her when he said "... is cheating off of somebody who thinks the square root of 4 is rainbows!"

I told my students I would give credit to that answer, if it ever comes up in a problem, but it hasn't come up yet.

Oh, man, Colbert's thesaurus habit at the end of last night's TDS is cracking me up.

I'm watching "The Office" US for the first time and I could not get over one particular scene in the episode "Sexual Harassment."

It was the scene where Dwight asked the HR guy where the clitoris is and what a woman's vagina looks like. That scene has laid me out laughing each of the 4 times I watched it. I could not get over how funny I found it. The capper was the HR guy lamenting how poor Dwight's public education was.

I just find that so hilarious.

re: Glee. I'm still struggling to articulate how I feel about the deaf glee club. As a fan of Family Guy I feel a bit hypocritical being offended by a minority group being used for comic relief but ever since the McKinley students joined the deaf students on stage during their performance it has irked me that this was treated as a good thing and not a patronizing upstaging of the deaf students' performance. Maybe I'm taking a 1/2 hour comedy too seriously.

I don't think so. I was offended on behalf of the deaf students. It's all well and good to support them, but standing up and JOINING them onstage? totally rude. But then i was never in a show choir so maybe it's ok in that culture?

I so want to know what New Direction's third song was. Since they had two group numbers plus a ballad....what what the other one we didn't get to see?

I totally hadn't caught the Brittany and Santana bit. Nice. I still like how she was in Kurt's basement dancing in costume to "single ladies." I find her amusing. Le nubian- thanks for that link. it was a great read.
