Compassionately intolerant

It bugs me that Rachel's dads have been described as so involved and yet, we've never seen them...at shows, the sectionals, when she's in trouble, etc. We get to see the mom, but not the dads? Feh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate it when I get shocked while I'm licking the screen.

Aw, rightclicklick.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh my word, Mr. Shue! I did not know he had it like that. Yummy.

I want to learn how to do that whole Safety Dance number and then start a flash mob at my local mall. Just when I thought I couldn't love Artie anymore, he turns out to be a straight up smooth criminal on the dance floor. How many times have I watched that scene back? So, so many times.

Last night was awesome. In addition to large quantities of Artie, there was the NPH/Shue Dream On which finally washed away all the ick from the Gokey Scream. There was Idina and Mini-Idina finally getting a duet. I loved it. Emma was back. I missed her. And NPH/Sue Sylvester getting nasty in Sue's secret room? Amazing. Nobody died, though. Joss was off his game.

I'm not a big Gaga fan, but Kurt dressed as Gaga doing Gaga better than Gaga? Gimme some of that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I wanted to love the Safety Dance number but the DisabilityFail was like burning. The last number was a lot better.

Did we know Matthew Morrison was hiding this under his shirt?

There was a hint of that in the Dream On number. (The arms, lord, the arms.)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

See, I just enjoyed the fact that the kid who plays Artie can really, really dance. Not like kinda dance. That fool was breaking it the hell on down. He was keeping up with the kid from Heavy Impact and with Mike, who dances in League of Extraordinary Dancers and was in Step Up 2 The Streets (best dance movie ever!!!. And I mean what? That kid is good and it was so unexpected because he just does not look the part at all. I just enjoyed it as a piece of dance. I've decided I'm not looking for this show to get much right on a deeper level other than Kurt and Burt's relationship, and maybe Sue and her sister which manages to be touching and sweet rather than off putting. And I'm OK with that.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I spent the whole first viewing mentally repeating "this BETTER be a day dream, this BETTER be a day dream..." and couldn't enjoy it. After it was revealed as a day dream - bless, that was some fine dancing.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Oh my, that final image literally took my breath away. Way to go Joss, even without a random yet meaningful death (unless you count the death of Artie's impossible dream, which was neither random nor unexpected but still meaningful.)

There was no way to sidestep the OMG RACHEL LOOKS JUST LIKE IDINA once Idina was cast on the show. 100% inevitable, and yet, with a nice twist that it could go down several different paths.

I do not, however, in any way believe that NPH would have been cast as a "townsperson" after that kind of vocal audition, no matter how terrible his reputation around town. I do not believe any community theatre would pass on that kind of talent, regard of the diva baggage. I call Shenanigans on that plot device.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So much this. From what I've read, wheelchair dancing is a competitive sport. I get that it's not the same, but there's a whole world in between the flash mob and sitting glumly by.

I did love some of the song performances.

Erin, I assumed that was more Sue machinations.
