First:
❝WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOU❞

And now TV - I wanted to do all of these in more detail, but I ended up not being able to be in the mood (if that makes any sense), so - Glee in detail, and for all the rest, one thing I wanted to point out and talk about a little.
  1. Glee - ( laryngitis )

movie: the adjustment bureau, tv: 30 rock, actor: matt damon, tv: parks & recreation, tv: chuck, tv (general), tv: glee, tv: doctor who, music (musicals), tv: the office, tv: community, tv: glee - rage recaps, movies: general, actor: emily blunt, actor: john krasinski

...but when we get a way to fit in someone who really is disabled, we'll get a new guy in instead of giving him more screentime - just because

Oh god, thiiiiiiiiiiis. Is it because quadriplegics are more tragic than paraplegics? I mean, why give extra screentime to Artie and add a scene between two character that we rarely see interact when you can add in a pointless guest star? HURRAY! I also really loved Kurt this episode and I totally agree that when he's separated from Mercedes and not having a vendetta against Rachel he's 10 times more fabulous.

"The Boy is Mine" was kind of my jam in middle school, but now that I think about it they really did autotune the song to the point where it sounded exactly like the original. And "Jessie's Girl" totally needed a St. Berry montage with them being dorks and making out and stuff. YAY MORE GROFF NEXT WEEK.

I agree about Community; I never know what to write about it except GUSH GUSH GUSH. They pushed the Jeff/Britta a bit too much during "Modern Warfare", but other than that they've done an exceptional job letting us get to know these characters. I know more about the study group, for instance, than the main characters on Glee. The Office is surprisingly decent this season, especially the past few episodes. Not S2 levels of awesome and I'm still not invested as I once was, but it's been solid.

IS MATT DAMON GOING TO BE ASTRONAUT MIKE DEXTER? IF SO I WILL DIE.

I think Matt Smith is brilliant about pulling that "ancient" aspect of the Doctor's character into his performance. Everyone was worried about a "young" Doctor, but I think he's done a better job than Eccleston and Tennant at truly showing how long this dude has been around. It always looks like he's thinking. There's something always going on behind his eyes.

I hadn't even heard of The Adjustment Bureau until this very second but your description of it and the awesome cast has grabbed my interest. And Inception! The full-length trailer explains the plot a bit more but it's still fucked up and amazing and non-sensical in the best way possible.

- RE: paralyzed guy vs. Artie - I KNOW! And they totally ruined Rachel's storyline with that, too, because I would kind of have loved to see her trying to be something else other than The Singer, and it kind of annoyed me to go straight back to singing at the end of the episode with the guy. Booooo. Watching her interact with Artie would've made me happy. I think they have a few background moments that are really cute.

- MORE GROFF!!! And from spoilers we do get a better idea of him, so I'm so excited. I can't believe we've only had him for three episodes, like eight episodes total. I want him forever.

- I think the Jeff/Britta may have been necessary for the finale? I don't know, I'm not spoiled or anything, but they may have needed to set that up a little, or at least get the sex out of the way. And considering that, doing it in this kind of episode, where romance is just a big a trope in action movies as anything else they put in, was kind of smart.

- The Office will never be S2-awesome, but I'm glad it's not terrible. :P I wish they'd cut themselves off sooner, but if I look at it as kind of a separate show it's actually OK! :P

- OH MY GOD I WANT HIM TO BE IT SO BADLY. Did you see him in the uniform?! MIKE DEXTER!

- I really think that Nine was running away from being sad and old, and Ten wanted to be a little younger and to have more fun, which wore down by the end of his run, and that's what makes Eleven so much more willing to show and assert his age. He still wants to have fun, but Eleven is a lot more transparent about how "ancient" he is. I love that a lot, and considering how old Matt Smith is it's kind of amazing.

- Have you seen the trailer now? I'm kind of psyched!

- I know Inception's second traielr explains the plot more but I'm still so excited to see how everything will be handled, especially because of how fucked up it is. :P

I accidentally on purpose read a very thorough recap for next week's episode of Glee. I don't know how I feel about the overall developments but I'm happy there will be a lot of Rachel/Jesse stuff.

I don't mind Jeff/Britta too much but I just prefer the show when it balances out the character dynamics. I liked that this week The Sex wasn't some big thing between them. Kind of refreshing. I mean, of course they'll address it later but I like how the show doesn't wallow in certain plotlines.

I'm almost positive that Daaaaamon is going to be Astronaut Mike Dexter and I AM SO EXCITED. Uniform. Guh.

I have seen the trailer! It looks very intriguing, though James pointed out that four guys controlling the lives of 6 billion people is kind of unrealistic lol.
