That link is taking me to facebook, sumi.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Otherwise, that post seems a little silly. I mean, yes, I suppose they could have hired a professional wheelchair dance choreography,
Cheerios on stilts required some extra coaching, I am thinking. Also, they did hire a stuntperson for Artie's fancier moves.
but I don't know why we'd want to push for even LESS realism in a Glee musical number.
How about so a wide audience could see the beauty and potential in wheelchair dance instead of it being a cheap gimmick? We could have seen Artie given tips and tricks to his classmates, as someone to learn from instead of just someone to pity.
(Note: I completely agree that I wish they had simply cast a disabled actor as Artie, but you have to assume that they had already planned fantasy sequences like the one in this episode, plus "Dancing With Myself". That may be bad writing, but if the bad writing was always planned, then they didn't really have a choice in that casting decision.)
According to interviews with show staff, they did audition disabled people for the part. Also, shows change and evolve all the time according to the talents of the cast. Mike Chang was apparently supposed to be a day player. Chris Colfer auditioned for Artie, and instead they created the character of Kurt for him. [link] The "Defying Gravity" bit was based on his real life experience.
Look, I'm not trying to spoil anyone's enjoyment. I critique because I love. I think I've probably said enough on this matter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I thought the wheelchair number was a total fail. I was excited going in looking forward to how they would use the chairs creatively and they just didn't.

On a lighter note, I think someone upthread mentioned the overuse of autotune on certain Glee castmembers. Try this on for size: [link]

SNL is my intoroduction to Justin Bieber. Is he Boys from Brazil creepy or is it just me?

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
I saw him on a talk show somewhere. I remember he seemed cheerful enough, there was a lot of hair, and then he kind of sang. There was a LOT of "Baby, baby, baby.... baby, baby, baby..." repeated endlessly to kind of robotic dance moves from his sneakered backup dancers. I remember thinking that it was really offputting hearing an apparent 12 year old singing anything with "baby" in it.

I looked it up, he's 16. Still creepy, though. His hair is too deliberately messy. D asked who he was and I tried to explain, then I said, "I couldn't name one of his songs but I think this one's called 'baby baby baby baby baby.'"

Is anyone watching this season of "The Boondocks"?
