I just wanted to pinch Rory's little cheeks.

Santana is quickly becoming an unlikable character for me. I hope she gets a serious redemption soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've pretty much given up on the story line. Although the Burt vs. Sue plot has possibilities. (Even if the issues are more local-school-board than Congress.)

It's definitely a show I watch for characters rather than plot. Like Burt basically laughing in Sue's face any time she opened her mouth.

I wonder if some unknown character will swoop in and take the election from both of them?

I would think so. It's another problem with making the election for Congress -- whoever wins has to move to DC and (I assume) effectively leave the show. And the show is too much in love with Sue as villain (comic and otherwise) to write her off.

On the other hand, both Kurt and Finn are seniors. So as things stand, there really isn't any reason for Burt to be around next season. Sending him to Congress would be an effective way to write him off completely.

Not that I wouldn't watch it, because I love Mike O'Malley, but I hope they're not thinking some kind of spin-off show.

I could also see it as an object lesson for Kurt and/or Finn. You try things, sometimes you don't succeed, but doing is important anyway.

Well, they are planning for a spinoff show about Rachel and Kurt going to NYC after graduation, I think.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Contract renegotiation tactic.

Because books.

Is Mike O'Malley still on Parenthood, too? I loved him in the one episode I saw (the pilot, I believe).

No, his character was just in a few episodes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Community hit it out of the park in a very different way this week. John Goodman was excellent, Jeff was splendently transparent. Chase flipfloppily acceptable, and Troy on fire. I felt tense for him!
