Glee
Will Shuester is a douche. <- not a spoiler
I really liked their version of "Jump". That was kind of awesome. (I am sad they didn't have, say, Tina and Puck sing the lead, but whatever, show. *handwaves*)
Also, I liked Quinn playing Sue at her own game, and winning.
Otoh, Will is such a dick. I couldn't even be happy that the stupid fake!pregnancy plot has been revealed, because ugh. You don't get to be violent and scary to your wife just because you're angry and she's crazycakes.
Also, when he wrote that check, I couldn't help but think about how "Friday Night Lights" handled a similar situation ONE MILLION TIMES better. Here it was just dropped completely. I guess because Terri's lie was so much bigger? or because the show doesn't see Will's lies as a problem? I feel like they want me to like Will and not like Rachel, but I want to punch Will in the groin and give Rachel cookies and hugs. She's annoying, no doubt, but only because she's trying so hard. I feel bad for her, and wish the show would let her have some kind of triumph (aside from singing all the leads). I guess she sort of did tonight, but often I feel like the show itself is punishing her when it shouldn't be.
Heh. That was Sheldon's nemesis Barry Kripke as the photographer/casting director. Also, Rachel should have known taking professional work would disqualify them. Also, also, what was that terrible, horrible song she and Finn sang? That was the worst thing I've heard in a long time. Ugh. I mean, the song itself was just lame, but that version of it was godawful. Why are they autotuning the hell out of Lea Michele's voice? WHY?
On the upside, I am kind of excited about hearing them sing "You Can't Always Get What You Want." It's a classic for a reason. *g*

In other TV news, am I correct that "White Collar" is moving to Tuesdays at 10 pm when it returns in January? Does this mean that I will have an awesome Tuesday night block of "Leverage" at 9 pm and "White Collar" at 10 pm? (I will have to record "The Good Wife" and watch it at some other time.) And "Psych" is moving to Wednesdays at 10 pm (which makes things difficult for me, because that is when I generally watch "Glee" since I watch "Criminal Minds" at 9 pm)? Will "Burn Notice" be at 10 pm on Thursdays, or are they bringing back "Royal Pains" in that time slot, and BN will be against SPN? I need to get this all figured out.
Isn't USA an NBC property? It amuses me that they are going after Leno at 10 on the weeknights.

In other non-TV news, I think I have an idea for my yuletide story. An idea that isn't simply one thousand words of [CENSORED] and [CENSORED] with some [CENSORED] thrown in. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I can do it. I may have to find someone outside my usual beta circles on this one. That is always nerve-wracking. We'll see, I guess.
