Magical Cripple, only brought into the story so that Rachel could learn a Very Important Life Lesson, with her solitary tear of compassion and all. *rolls eyes forever*

Freaking word. They are so darn clueless on some issues. I cringed when Santana called Mercedes "Weezie" too.

And if you really are going to go there...is there a teenager today who would get that reference? Is there no modern equivilent? And if not, geee, maybe there is a reason.

Suzi, yes. I wasn't even sure I heard it right. I mean, I've never even seen The Jeffersons, I just barely got it (I'm old enough but didn't watch much tv back then).

I have an unabashed love of Brit, so I am all for an all Britney episode. I might even have people over and create a specialty cocktail.

Mercedes/Santana pairing with them doing a duet on Womanizer. Preferably with Cheerios back up dancers and some form of near naked Puck. I would give a righteous Artie gospel hand to that.

Let the church say amen! (I might throw some Quinn in there, too)

I thought that was funny, actually.

I think I would have been happier if Rachel had admitted a little more clearly that she was so incredibly overreacting.

I don't think that it would have been true to the character. Rachel wouldn't do that.

The Weezie thing didn't throw me off. Sue used it first and I've no doubt that she's probably used it since within earshot of other Cheerios. I just figured that's where Santana picked it up. The whole Rachel loses her voice storyline was one big cliche, but I'm finding that Rachel is by far my least favorite character on the show. I think Lea Michele is doing a gret job with what she's being given, it's just that more often than others on the show, what she's given is kind of corny.

Testify!

I think I would have been happier if Rachel had admitted a little more clearly that she was so incredibly overreacting.

The one redeeming factor the character has is that she's aware of just how overbearing and obnoxious she is. I think what we needed to see there is a little bit more of the terror of what would happen to her if she loses this one thing that she feels is her sole defining factor beyond wandering the halls in a bathrobe with a bowl of Cheerios. (Although I will admit to a giggle that her choice of cereal to viciously chomp on was Cheerios.)

Rachel's just so incredibly tunnel-visioned and self-centered, she does require the emotional equivalent of a 2x4 to get a point across-- Did the writers choose the best 2x4? Probably not. It could've definitely been done better.

I was just so aggravated that after having Rachel lose her voice and setting up the whole story line about others needing to pick it up, for the last number they went back to the Finn and Rachel show.

As annoying as that storyline was, it gave some of the other actors a chance to shine. I had no idea the kind of voice that Santana had, for example. And "Rose's Turn" was phenomenal.

Much as it was corny, my favorite was Jesse's Girl. But I'm like that, when Rick Springfield is on offer.

And "Rose's Turn" was phenomenal.

Best line for me was Burt's reaction.
