Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Kathy - I know! He's been in a ton of stuff... but heck if I can remember what... I want to say Lost but I don't think so

TV.com says it was Daniel Roebuck, who was Arzt on Lost (among many other roles). I thought he looked familiar.

ARTZ! Yes! (I can't remember half of my grocery list each week but this I remember?... brain you suck!)

Maybe if your grocery list suddenly blew up it would be more memorable.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Got to catch up on the latest Glee for the holiday. And may I start by boasting that I totally called it.

If Burt knew what was going on, he'd teach Sarah Palin a thing or two about being a mama grizzly.

Finn blew the wedding song. Or should I say, the producers did. Finn was trying to convey brothership, friendship, support. And while I kind of like "Just the Way You Are," it's a love song. Trouble is, the most recent appropriate song I can think of is the Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You." Which isn't that recent.

(Insert rant here about Glee's need to diversify their song selection.)

I suspect Karofsky won a pyrrhic victory. Yes, he's back. But he's pissed off several members of the football team, including the two lead quarterbacks. Who can make things rather uncomfortable for him. (Not to mention how Bieste will react if she hears the whole story. Between her status as the chronic outsider and her friendship with Schu, she lands on Kurt's side.)

And for the scene at Kurt's locker -- the actor playing Karofsky deserves at least an Emmy nomination. For a moment, Hubs and I weren't sure whether Karofsky was going to kiss Kurt or kill him.

Carol Burnett was brilliant. (Did anyone else notice that the dresses in Sue's wedding scene were red (Jeanne), white (mom), and blue (Sue)?) And Sue is a little more like her mother than she'd like to think. Sue doesn't have quite the level of it's-all-about-me that mother has, but there's more than a little there.

Sam has an eating disorder in his future. Probably the socially relevant plot arc of S3, similar to Quinn's pregnancy last year and Kurt's being bullied this year.

And it may have ended up too sappy for words, but in the last scene I'd have liked to see someone go up to Kurt (Schu? Finn? Rachel?) and say, "It hurts to see you go, but we understand that you have to do this. Just remember that you have friends here." On the other hand, when Quinn made the remark about setting the feminist movement back 40 years, I'd like to have seen Rachel say, "Okay, what can we do?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah and my thought was "now is when you consider the feminist movement?" It has gone all the way back to the 1880s by now with this show.

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

And for the scene at Kurt's locker -- the actor playing Karofsky deserves at least an Emmy nomination. For a moment, Hubs and I weren't sure whether Karofsky was going to kiss Kurt or kill him.

Yeah. I'll bet he's very happy that his relatively minor role has grown into this. He's made a meal of it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yep, he's now a named character with sort of a storyline of his own. My only regret is that his partner in bullying who seems to have disappeared as a result had to be another black actor (shades of Dijon Talton's character being the one football player or cheerio glee recruit that didn't end up getting an expanded role).

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

I'm wondering just how magnificent a honeymoon Burt and Carol were planning on taking -- I just checked the tuition for the prep school in my town, and it's $45,500 for boarding students and $31,500 for day students. So even if his new school gives Kurt a break considering he won't be going for the full academic year, that's still some serious coinage. Also, what's the plan for next year? (I know, they needed to react to the immediate threat and didn't have time to make long-term plans, but unless Carol can pull in a lot more money than I suspect Burt does, Kurt is going to have to sell some organs on the black market to be able to afford to stay at that school.)
