I did not yet have the chance to watch Glee last night, and probably won’t be able to catch up until the weekend. For the next few days, my schedule is packed tighter than the 4 train during rush hour, giving me just enough time to write a few blog posts but not enough to watch television. As such, there will be no proper review of either Glee or Community this week. I will review the 2-part season finale of Community after both parts have aired, and will comment on this week’s Glee when I review next week’s Glee. After all, I’m sure the writers will have carefully developed and built upon the events of episode 2-19 to further develop the characters in 2-20, in a sensitive, thoughtful, and funny way.
*muffles laughter*
Um, sorry. In the meantime, I thought I’d have a little fun and make predictions about last night’s episode that I haven’t yet seen. The predictions are based entirely on the promotional material for the show, and the standard patterns of the Glee writers. It’s Glee’s “Rumors” by the numbers!

SO TRUE. Count me as one of those 8 million.
This show is such a waste of Jane Lynch’s talent. How ironic, when last year, it catapulted her to the stardom she’s deserved for ages.
Hey-
I actually don’t watch Glee. But I didn’t see an e-mail for you, and I wanted to know if you’d post your opinion about Terriers from last year- there’s a particular plotline, around the sixth episode, that I’d be curious to hear what you had to say.
Also it was an amazing show- the strongest single season I’ve seen in years.

It was! I loved Teriers so much! Its cancellation made me so sad.
I’ve never seen Terriers, but you gave me an idea. Stay tuned for my next post.
The best search term that’s brought someone to my blog recently was something like “why has glee gotten so gay”. Just… what.
I’ve gotten a lot of hits from “Are the writers of glee gay?” And while part of me thinks, “Why do you care?” the other part thinks, “Well, DUH!”
At least when Rachel sang Go Your Own Way I really liked the perfomance and it was top10 on itunes, the only song of the episode.
In the meantime, I thought I’d have a little fun and make predictions about last night’s episode that I haven’t yet seen.
Reading comprehension is your friend.
