"Original Song"

I remember the very first time I saw the TV show Glee in St. Tropez during our vacation in September 2009 and I instantly fell with this show. I love musicals, I love music in general, I love TV, I love drama, I love sarcasm and comedy. Glee combines all of the above. So, this series is the perfect mix for me. And the first season was PHENOMENAL. 

However, there have been quite a few episodes in the 2nd half of season 2 that were a bit disappointing (apart from the ones with Gwyneth Paltrow). 

The latest episode was, in my opinion, absolutely fantastic. 

Here are a few thoughts I jotted down while watching it.

1. Rachel's song "Get it Right" totally gave me goosebumps. Great, great job!
2. Santana can sing like there is no tomorrow. She hasn't really had many opportunities to show her talent, but I am VERY impressed. I would love to see her getting more solos.
3. The song "Loser Like Me" was a PERFECT choice. I think it ties the entire show together. Kudos to the writers!
4. But why in the world do they always have to wear those ugly costumes? Is that a rule? Can't they just wear something nice and pretty or cool, just this once?

The color of the dresses? The leggings? The shoes? I mean, are they serious???

5. The Warblers are really going on my nerves. It is time to get rid of them and have Kurt join New Directions again.  

6. As much as I love the glee club's cover versions (which are sometimes even better than the original ones), I really enjoyed listening to them sing songs exclusively written for the them. I don't pay attention to spoilers, so I have no idea if this is a thing they will keep doing or if it was an exception for this episode, but I hope they can sneak in an original song every once in a while.

Let’s talk about TV!

Michael Emerson on Parenthood!

I am probably the last person to hear about this (but hey, I have just been gone for 2 weeks and did not have internet access, so don’t judge me J), but I am absolutely thrilled about the fact that Michael Emerson will appear on PARENTHOOD, which is one of my favorite TV shows. I have missed Michael’s acting a great deal since Lost ended and cannot wait to see him in a new role, even if it is just for one episode.

Michael and I in May last year at the Jay and Jack Lost Finale Party in LA. Such a great moment. :)

New series with Sarah Michelle Gellar on CBS?

Although “Ringer” does not sound like it is going to be a new mega hit, I am hoping that it will be picked up. I love Sarah Michelle Gellar and have always wished she’d return to TV after Buffy.

No Emerson/O’Quinn collaboration after all?

I am not so happy about the news that the Michael Emerson / Terry O’Quinn project “Odd Jobs” is being put on hold. Let us keep our fingers crossed that it will be reconsidered for next season. Who of us Losties doesn’t want those two talented actors to have their own TV show? Then again, I am sure that nothing they do will ever be as fantastic as their performances on Lost; so maybe the delay of the series is a turn for the better and a chance for the both of them to take on completely different projects?!
