I wish Glee would get off of the theme shows (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Britney Spears) and write for good writing first then choose the songs based on that. I'm sure the theme shows attract some people to watch and it allows them to promote up the wazoo, but they're not very strong shows, IMO. Honestly, Glee started getting more average towards the end of last season and this season's premiere doesn't promise an improvement.
I think the acting is still good. But the writing isn't. I'm not sure whether that's overall plotting or whether it's just that the individual parts aren't adding up to the same punch anymore. I think a lot of the good ingredients are still there but the soufflé is falling.
I've been introducing my dad to various web series. Or things I tend to watch on the web like Community. He was kinda "ok" with Community but I think it was because by the time I decided to introduce him, the pilot was no longer on Hulu. I couldn't show him those early episodes and he didn't know the characters well enough to be as tickled by later eps.
I'mma ask him whether he wants to watch the Community premiere tonight.
Okay, so I'm watching tonight's Big Bang Theory* (yes, it's the first time I've seen it; go ahead, react with the predictable shock), and I realized with no small amount of horror:
I AM SHELDON.
OH MY GOD.
*(And I'm appalled, BTW, that apparently there's a second Wall Street movie coming out -- Michael Douglas looks like the freaking Cryptkeeper. He's a shambling horror.)
Poor dude has Stage 4 throat cancer so it's not surprising he looks haggard.
I never saw the first Wall Street but I'm assuming Stone made this sequel because he felt he had things to say about the most recent raping of the most of us by the very very very few of us.
ETA: I've never watched a full ep of Big Bang Theory but just last night I was rewatching some of the Wil Wheaton BBT stuff on YouTube.
Spidra, it's really funny. Geeky humor, but other funny stuff as well. Great comedic timing.
There was no bazinga tonight, so while I've heard it and have been told it's from BBT, I still haven't witnessed it.
