Last Week in TV

Nov 09, 2011 14:58

Once Upon a Time: D for not being good enough that I needed to see it. Seriously I carved pumpkins through the whole thing. With a hammer.

How I Met Your Mother: C for Weird Al.

Hawai'i Five-0: D for no gratuitous scene of Steve running.

Glee: D for a stupid use of a fantastic song (It's Not Easy Being Green). C for the performance of "Candyman."

I'm waaayyyy behind on Glee. Way. Way. Behind. Dx

Oh, don't worry. The best parts are on YouTube! Just look for their songs :'D

(FYI, last night was full of kissing and awkward confessions of undying love from teenagers.)

*snorts* HAHAHAHA

I watch the show MOSTLY just for Emma. Maybe a teeny bit for Will. And for Sue making fun of Will. I would watch it for Coach Bieste or however it's spelled, but she doesn't appear much despite being, obviously, the best character. Either way, the teenage drama mostly doesn't amuse me.

I know. SOOOOO incredibly awkward. Why was high school not like this for me?!

Emma is adorable, although she seriously frustrated me in Season 2. Will is really pissing me off now. I flip-flop on Sue making fun of Will; sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's just offensive... like, not over-the-top enough to be funny? I love Coach Beiste (or, again, whatever). She got a great scene last night (:

I know right?! High school was drama-free compared to that crap! For me, at least. And nothing good. Had a creepy kid ask me out like, every day, the guy I liked dated all of my friends but never me... Ah, school. Back in the olden days. :P When schoolbuses were manual drive and had engines in the front under a hood ( ... )

So you WEREN'T professing undying love to your boyfriend and sleeping with him and having DEEP CONVERSATIONS about intimacy? SHOCKING.

I definitely agree. Emma was cute until they tried to make her plot/story all Srs Biznez and then it got stupid. Plus the thing with her getting married and dating and just. What. Even.

Will is just being a terrible teacher now. He's letting his students turn on each other and putting the "success" of the glee club over his students' feelings and emotional well-being. I'd be offended if I ever thought my teachers or advisors had done something like that.

Yeah, actually, both of those were hilarious XD And yeah, I agree that if she left the kids out of it it'd be less rage-y and funnier. Nothing about the show is particularly believable, to be honest, but then you've got to make clear that it's not realistic either.

It's very sweet! You should watch it!

I know, right? I totally should have found a guy and professed my undying love to him, preferably while spouting things like, "I know this is the real thing", and "this will never end ( ... )

Oh, if only I'd had the presence of mind to do the same! Your romantic life ends after high school! If only I'd known ( ... )

OH man I hated their version of Rolling in the Deep but you're right that they made Friday sound good ( ... )

I know! I also LOVE Lady Gaga and couldn't stand their rendition of "Poker Face," even though my boss really liked it.

Wow. I mean, it makes sense that it should be relateable, but I guess I'm more used to seeing it as representation, rather than reality, and criticizing it on those lines. Then again, I didn't really grow up with a lot of TV so.

I think they're kind of moving away from that now. She's starting to do more school stuff, less... whatever it was she used to do.

Oh. I see. Hmm.
