The Letter E: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
Two things that bug the everlivin' CRAP out of me:
And now that I've gotten that out of my system, last night's TV:
Glee
This episode didn't really work for me. I liked it, I just didn't love it. And that's not even taking into account the Bring It On plot-stealing, because even though I'm sure I've seen that movie at some point, I can't remember it worth a damn.
The best parts of the episode were Kurt, Rachel and SpyDaddy!!! (I hope he's going to be recurring.) Plus the singing. I can't help it, I love it when people burst into song for no reason. It's the Grease-loving seven-year-old in me.
Bones!
I did not think I'd be putting an exclamation point after that show name for a long time to come, I was ready to drop it after that disaster of a season finale. But it felt like they'd gotten a peek at my Check List to Make Jems Continue to Watch This Show:
And then they added the additional twist of having the effects of the dream/book/shared reality/WHATEVER actually have relevance to a storyline with actual potential. I'm so happy I could cry!
Except I find it absurd that Booth wasn't in love before his coma. He may have been in deep denial, but the boy was in love, come on!
I still haven't watched Flash Forward, but I've got it cued up to watch right after Top Chef, which is what I'll be watching in five, four, three, two...
- Unless you're using it as an adjective (the premier episode), the word premiere is spelled with an E at the end. The meaning of premier when used as a noun is
1. the head of the cabinet in France or Italy or certain other countries; first minister; prime minister.
2. a chief officer.
Season premiere, world premiere, series premiere. But Canada's premier.
- It's not Bros Before Hoes! That means you put your bros before your gardening equipment, for crying out loud! It's Hos. Ho-ho-hos! Just...GAH!!!

- Mention the now-cured amnesia in passing. CHECK!
- Explain the wtf-ery of the dream/book/shared reality. CHECK!
- Get it out of the way early so the badness won't have to be dwelled upon. CHECK!
- Have the episode actually be good so as to rinse away the bad taste of the previous episode. CHECK!
