I know how you feel!

Update: As a note, this exchange is the most active exchange this section of the forums has had in the past hour.

Episode 203 of Glee will deal with the various characters' relationships with religion. The whole ordeal kicks off when Finn believes he sees the face of Jesus in his grilled cheese sandwich.

WARNING: I would advise skipping spoilers on this one. During my typical googlin', I've seen hints that something big happens this episode. This was more or less confirmed by one of the songs that I saw on the list.

Anyway, see you all tonight!

They laughed at Limbaugh significantly. Maybe the part where he said "Anyone that would give a woman credit for anything is a liberal" would be a decent tip for that.


FOX-y Lady.

They take cracks at the right all the time. This time they took a light punch at liberals with a much heavier emphasis on people that form their political opinions without really thinking about them.

Brian was deliberately given bad arguments to underline this point. They weren't pulling punches on the right; they were busy punching someone else.

Edit: Also, the "Everything Fox says is a lie" exchange was a retcon, because it was previously established that there was no Rush Limbaugh in the Family Guy-verse.

Also, meta-upon-meta for its parody of the "We'll kill of characters you love" schtick that this very thread was based upon discussing.

I liked the severe amount of character building it was doing... until they killed off the brother without a second thought. That disregard to their own established work was the start of my disappointment in the show.

FYI, two weeks from now, the episode is called "Duet".

Other than that, I like your post. Some fair points, and I would also like to see Rachel get less lime light.

That mistake works.

I have a complete fascination with the way that Heather Morris can deliver almost every line with a soft, understated monotony that somehow feels fresh each and every time. It's really a unique gift, and I mean that quite earnestly.

My favorite part was that she hated and envied Britney Spears all the way up to a mild hallucination. Then she's openly doing fist pumps every time someone says Spears' name.

Other favorite moment is how the episode fits into the continuity. In the school yearbook (yes, I pause and freeze frame stuff like that), Brittany had no last name. It makes sense that she would have made a conscious effort to hide her name: It was part of her efforts to overcome this painful burden she's been given.

Depends on the episodes. I won't derail here, but maybe bring it to the Glee thread, and you may get some answers.

The saving grace may be that Brittany has a specific motivation now: She believes that she deserves to replace Rachel.

That can go some awesome places.

I realized this five seconds after my post and hoped no one would notice.

Well, the entire point of the character is that she's become so obsessed with "Saving" her family by providing lots o' dollars that she's kind of forgot to genuinely care about them.

For frick's sake, their kid has a learning disability, but both parent's are keeping in from getting any sort of care for their own reasons. I don't think they're exactly winning medals here.

Edit: In fact, I think a good portion of the show is that they are actively bad parents. Not abusive or neglectful. Just dreadfully lacking in important areas. The director, however, is touching this with a feint lightness for the sake of a wider demographic and more accessible appeal. Which I appreciate.

I'm with this.

I think both the emphasis on her virginity and peoples' reactions to that emphasis are things that are going to fascinate me and serve as a "meta-show" for the coming season.

Trying to take down those two would have been suicide in normal situations; then they added that opening night was one of Glee's most anticipated episodes (even if I hated it).

I hope they move this to a better time. I'm very excited for it.

True Story: I haven't had an interest in "first showings" of shows since I found out about Hulu. Doubly so after Netflix.
