Last night's Glee

[thistlechaser]

I didn't get to watch the ep until today. I totally lost track of what day it was, so in the middle of my RP scene I blinked when I saw it on. "What's Glee doing playing on a Monday night?"

All in all, I can't say it was a tragedy that I waited an extra day to see it. While the ep had its moments (TROUT MOUTH! *dies*), and some amazing moments (BOYKISS), for the most part I was pretty meh about it.

My opinion on the ep went downhill fast in the last five minutes or so. Mocking Sarah Palin is about as challenging as kicking a mentally handicapped, blind, deaf kid with no arms and legs. You all know I would in no way defend Palin, but that doesn't mean I found Glee's take on her funny. Just the opposite in fact, I rolled my eyes through the whole thing.

I keep wavering back and forth on Sue, too. I didn't like her at all in this ep. The letter was okay, but why in the world is she still a teacher in the school? Why don't parents complain about her? Hell, why wasn't she arrested for assaulting the woman announcing the results? Hell again, why in the world is she holding such a grudge against children?

The original songs did little for me, other than trout mouth (*snickers more*), and Kurt's... what was it called, blackbird?

Still loving Santana.

Four weeks of reruns now, I believe. zzz

Oh! I seem to be one of the rare folks who are immune to that site. I've glanced at it a few times, then wandered off. Everyone else describes it as OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT FOR THREE DAYS NOW WITHOUT SLEEP AND I DON'T WANT TO STOP.

There's one guy I work with who sees me on it so much that he's like "Aren't you done with that YET!? You've been reading it for like a year!"

Alternatively... (http://comixed.memebase.com/2009/06/01/tv-tropes/)

I have no idea how anyone can be immune! D=

It's interesting, but it's not THAT interesting. Since my last comment I poked about on the site, read part of the DS9 page, then got bored and closed it and came back here to check my mail/continue replying to comments.

I know it's kind of the point of the site (the front page was one of the ones I read between comments), but it's a tad too "unprofessional" for me. Some of the comments were almost snarky, and at one point on the DS9 page there was a brief conversation between two people in comments on some part of the show. It's playing at being a wiki while not wanting to be wiki-like. That just doesn't work for me.

But clearly I'm the odd man out (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OddNameOut)!

When TvTropes eventually takes over the rest of the web, you shall be the one to save us!

Seriously, that site is like *crack* to me. I keep right-clicking on links and opening more tabs, and more tabs, and more tabs, and I never can manage to read them all before my eyes give up and request that I please not be staring at the screen for hours on end again. I don't do that with any other websites!

Man, I almost envy you guys! But yes, when the time comes I shall step up to the plate and save you all! *dramatic pose*

I've got your back, Thistle!

(I think I was part of a secret government experiment to inoculate children against TvTropes. It doesn't do anything at all for me.)

...oh, god, AND I tittered at the Palin joke. I'm that person. That person on the internet.

I hang my head in shame!

Woo! You can be my sidekick! Now we just need to come up with spiffy costumes...
