Random TV thoughts
1. Looooooving The Americans again this season. So good. I feel like there's a little too much Stan sometimes (although I do really like Noah Emmerich), and that the Russian embassy scenes can go on a little long. Or maybe I'm just impatient to get back to Philip (Matthew Rhys!) and Elizabeth because I adore them so much. Re: the Russians, I'm curious as to whether it's a Russian thing to constantly refer to each other by first and last name, or whether it's just a quirk of the show.
2. I'm still watching Glee since I've hung in there this long for whatever reason, and I do enjoy the singing and dancing most of the time. But wow am I over Sue Sylvester, and I was over her a couple of seasons ago. The show has been better since it went fully to NYC (although I do miss Melissa Benoist in particular of the new kids), and the Sueathon this week was very unwelcome. (Also, BYE, TINA! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!)
Jane Lynch is great, but I never really need to hear her sing, and I definitely never need to hear her juxtaposed with Lea Michele. I'm still boggling at the horrendous artistic choice to have them both since that song. Considering it was also Rachel's song for Finn, and that anytime she mentions Finn it can't help but feel like Lea talking about Cory, I thought it was really inappropriate to intercut with Sue singing about that dude she just meant. I mean, could I possibly care less? It really detracted from the moment. Baffling.
3. I inhaled S1 of Looking, which I heartily enjoyed. It was a little slow to start, but I liked that the characters feel like real people I might know. Of course I adore Groff as Patrick, and I ship him and Kevin (Groff and Tovey = Grovey) although I do also really like Richie a lot. He is so going to get his heart stomped on. I love Dom and his roomie, and find Augustin to be a whiny twat most of the time. He has his moments, but god, GROW UP. I really hope Scott Bakula's NCIS schedule will allow him to come back in S2, as he was a delight. I also wish there were at least 12 eps, because 8 half an hour episodes is not enough! Sheesh.
