shah_of_blahWeekly TV!
Dexter: I have so much love for this show. I really do. I am totally digging Lumen too. She's awesome. I want more of her. And I want to give her a hug (except not, because she wouldn't welcome it). I am just so thrilled that this season has given us four new characters (Lumen, Sierra, the nanny, and the IA guy), three of whom (the most important three, too) are women.
I also love Deb being good at her job. Remember when she was always turning to her brother in the first season, desperate to get out of Vice? Look how far she has come!
And oh Angel, it's not that I'm without sympathy, but why do men do this? Seriously. Ah well. I still love you, even if you're an idiot and Maria has every right to be mad at you.
Chuck: Oh, this episode made me happy. This week and last week have been markedly better than previous episodes. That Aisle of Terror sequence? Brilliant. The entire thing after Chuck got gassed was awesome, actually. I adored the little moment where he was freaking out and Sarah was helping him walk out of there. Aw, so cute.
Glee: I am maybe possibly almost over this show. I dunno. The stuff with Schuester was dumb. Oh William, why is Sue Sylvester such a better educator than you? BUT I greatly enjoyed the kids' performances from Rocky Horror, especially Mercedes's "Sweet Transvestite" (also because that's my favorite song from the show) although there is the weird and nonsensical omission of "transsexual" (replaced with "sinsational"). Which hints at some very unfortunate transphobia, especially odd since they used the word "tranny" earlier (which is actually offensive). And all this is doubly strange because Frank N. Furter is not transgender. So anyway. Glee manages to offend somebody with almost every episode.
Oh, but the big surprise of the night: how much I enjoyed Emma's rendition of Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me, minus Schue.
Community: SO FREAKING EPIC. OH MY GOD. I loved it from the moment Troy walked in with his Ripley costume and even though I thought Alien was boring and have only seen part of Aliens, I was like "OH MY GOD TROY IS IN A RIPLEY COSTUME!" And then the epic didn't stop! Chang as the racism detector! I thought Shirley was the fairy godmother, but I can definitely see the Glinda angle. Shirley can do better than Chang though. Anyway. Troy and Abed stole the show though. "I love you." "I know." AHHHHH MY HEART MELTED OMG NERDS! This episode, you guys. I just watched it and I cannot stop grinning. IT WAS SO GOOD. I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
Although I do have "Gimme a Man After Midnight" stuck in my head. Thanks Dean Pelton.
