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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

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.

I think it was "Somebody to Love", quinn mentioned it when they were talking before Finn came in.

I totally hadn't caught the Brittany and Santana bit.

I went back and rewatched. The line was "Sex is not dating, if it was Santana and I would be dating."

Re: the "Imagine" rehearsal - that was one of many cases on Glee where I was not sure whether what we were seeing was what was actually happening or a visual depiction of what the characters were feeling.

Always Anti-fascist!

If anyone wants to have "Cupid" discussion, this is probably a better place than Procedurals... threads without topic are like sex without spanking.

Compassionately intolerant

Ahahaha.

Thanks for moving us over erika. I wasn't sure comedy quite fit the bill considering how much Dram there is in this particular dramedy. But, yeah. Anywhere it fits is good with me.

While sucking up the Piven/Cupid episodes last night, I was completely charmed and re-impressed with Harry Groener's song and dance ep. He is clearly a natural...and carried off the fine line between poignant and optimistic with great grace.

I also loved how they kept the mystery about Trevor's identity. Each time the other characters had a 'gotcha' moment, there ended up being a logical explanation for how their thinking was wrong. The writers didn't go to K-Paxland with it and I appreciate that. (unless, of course, they did and I experiences hysterical blind/deafness to lalala right past it.)

I enjoyed that too, bonny. They're very clever about it, too. There are some great bits in one of the unfilmed scripts.
