Oh, Glee! I don't know what I loved most about this episode I really enjoy Artie's voice so his Dancing With Myself solo was fantastic and to follow that up with the bit with Tina was heartbreaking, and of course the diva-off was amazing as was Kurt's self-rehearsal and the way they cut the songs together, and I'm interested in the Sue's-personal-story in a way that, well, I'm not actually interested in Emma. They moved the plot terrifically with the whole Finn-Quinn-Puck situation and while I might've once been ok with them as an OT3, both of the boys have so many anger/jealousy issues, I don't see it as a viable situation. Sigh, why is he flirting with Rachael again?

Don't the previews for next week look adorable! But I'll be in LA and probably won't see it until I fly home the next day as we're going out with friends from college on Wednesday night. But even so, I am so, so, so glad to have GLEE back!

And not just because a full season run for GLEE means that Fox has cut back its order to Past Lives from 14ish episodes to SIX, which is fantastic because that show is truly one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. I ranted about it a bit when I saw the pilot at comic con, and I wish it were better because the cast members were all lovely but the pilot was not only full of plot holes, it was all premised on a teenaged boy being the reincarnation of a dead eight year old girl, and her "soul" was manifesting in his body. So it's not just a kid in peril, it's a kid who is actually dead and I'm sorry, after an hour of focus on the details of what happened, and her really tragic and nightmare-inducing murder, I am glad that the show is not going to make it beyond six episodes.

Sorry, I'm in month five of having occasional nightmares based on that episode so it makes me a bit ranty. If you have any Kids In Peril triggers, do not watch the show or even read summaries of the first episode. Spare yourself what I put myself through. And yes, I know I put this bit outside a cut tag, because I think it's important that people know before any of the PR for the show begins.

Hell, Fox, why are you even going to air those six episodes instead of more, oh I dunno, Dollhouse. Which, yes, has its issues but they don't involve murdered kids.
