"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Nah. Her and Finn as Brad and Janet will fit better into the movie she's starring in in her head.

Hah! This is great because it's such an indictment of Rachel and the Rachel that I was in high school.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Hard to believe, but NBC just picked up "Outsourced" for the rest of the season.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Really? Huh! I'm actually pleased about that. Last week's episode had actual jokes that made me laugh and good character moments, so I'm hoping to see it improve even more and lose the annoying "Indians, HAR!" jokes.

I only saw the pilot and found it pretty unfunny. I'm very happy that the show is providing roles for South Asian actors, but... You say it's getting better, though?

The last couple have been funny IMHO. The pilot, not so much.

Yes! I'm honestly pretty damn annoyed that everyone just wrote the show off from the pilot. The second episode alone was an improvement. I'm not saying it's a great show, and the mildly offensive jokes still persist, but I enjoy the Indian characters/actors quite a bit. And the last episode really did make me laugh a few times, even at jokes that were possibly offensive but also kind of clever, like when Madhuri says, "This is the greatest thing that has happened in my life. And also probably my past lives." (She also got the funniest joke in the episode, which was featured in the commercials. When Wossname is explaining a prank as Fire Escape: "First we set fire to their stuff, and then we escape." She responds, "I think that's just called arson." That! That's a real joke! That has nothing to do with anyone being Indian! It's just funny! And it was especially funny coming from someone as mild-mannered as her.)

I don't know. I just think it's a good sign when I enjoy an episode that barely features Rebecca Hazlewood and focuses on the annoying assistant manager, whose annoyingness is actually explained and who now becomes a sympathetic character.

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

I'm still watvching it, mostly because I'm too lazy to get up after The Office.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I just watched the Duets episode of Glee again, and man did Mercedes and Sanatana get robbed of the Breadsticks gift certificate (and is Breadsticks a real restaurant? Because they say the name of the place a zillion times during the show.) The others were all good (and Kurt's final note still gives me chills), but Mercedes and Santanta were scorching.

I'm wondering how long new guy will be stuck with the Bieber hair.

My other thought is that with all the attention being given to bullying right now, I wonder if the writers will tone down or direct any attention to the massive football players threatening the Glee club members and throwing slushies in their faces. (Didn't Rachel say her dads are lawyers? I can't imagine her dads not threatening the school board if that were the case.)

One last thought -- I want Kurt to sing some Rufus Wainwright. Who do I have to bribe to make that happen?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't imagine her dads not threatening the school board if that were the case.

Assuming that they're aware of what's going on. I don't see Rachel telling them everything that goes on in her day.

I could see Schu (with Emma's help) (or vice versa) playing a big role in an anti-bullying campaign. With Sue throwing up every roadblock she can, of course.
