Thanks Morgana! That'll definitely help ease the sting of missing out.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked it, too. I have found the characterization sloppy throughout, but I just don't care. Pretty People! Singing! Dancing!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it bad that I sort of enjoyed Glee this week?
Nope! Amber Riley in a corset alone was worth the price of admission.

I just listened to her version of "Sweet Tranvestite" again and it's like listening to Aretha do it. Vocally it's awesome but there's no connection to the lyrics at all. Zero.
I don't believe for a second that she's that character or that Mercedes is expressing any of the song's intent. There's none of Tim Curry's salacious little slurs and innuendo. It's just well sung. But that isn't the point of this song. It's like listening to Linda Rondstadt mangle all the bitter little ironies in an Elvis Costello song.

I really wanted to like Mercedes as Frank but I couldn't. Maybe she wasn't trying to play the character, she was just playing, "the lead".

David, yes that is it exactly. I really wanted to love her doing it because I generally love anything that Amber sings but she just sang it, instead of meaning it.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I think that's pretty typical of today's R&B singing. The focus is on melisma, on virtuosic technique, and not upon lyrical interpretation. And I agree that's a bad thing (in Glee and in the music world in general).
I really really loved Glee for its first half season. But since then it has become less interesting. I still watch it, but I'm no longer bowled over by it. The theme episodes have been driving me nuts because things are done mostly to find a way to shoehorn some artist's songs in rather than writing a good story and choosing the music to fit. I enjoyed the Rocky ep more than the others but that's probably because I enjoy the RHPS music more than I enjoy Madonna or Britney or whoever. Even so, the music is produced so squeaky clean that it has become annoying as well.
The songs I've liked best from Glee are things like their cover of "Dancin' With Myself" which was a significant reimagining of the song.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
But wasn't that based on an already-existing cover of the song?

Quick poll: on Big Bang Theory tonight, who else had one of those Snoopy Snow-Cone Makers as a kid? I did!
(Also, was Sheldon's hair darker? It sure looked that way.)
