Yeah, the ultimate hell for Phil^2 is gonna be winning; that shitty production unit will stifle his marginal creativity. Skylar will have a prominent spot at next year's CMAs. Hollie has been getting better, and is cute, so a win would do her good. Jessica and Joshua could use a personality. Erika van Pelt has better…

Hey, @avclub-ec26fc2eb2b75aece19c70392dc744c2:disqus , I gave it an A to make you look lazy. I hate you and your mother!

How's about Community is the American Dad to Parks and Rec's Bob's Burgers? This is for your benefit because I think Family Guy is an insult now (DON'T insult Community on the AV Club!!!), and the chang from Simpsons to Bob's Burgers is apt because 30 Rock is the Simpsons – they're a cartoons that used to be funny but…

@avclub-3760e6e980a7a289c85b20782819ea2e:disqus , what made you think a Smash comment thread was safe for theater people? Smash has shown 0 evidence of theater subject matter, with the exception of The Bernadette Peters.
And that Bollywood number? I didn't know it, but that is what every Smash is missing.

Oh yeah… And that "Don't be a drag, just be a queen" line. These songs are so truncated anyway that I didn't notice.

Without thumping synths it just isn't gay enough for Claire…
But really, that song is so gay that it could be performed as an Italian Aria or John Cage cover and retain its "fuck the Christian Right" message.

I find country "Born This Way" subtly maintains its gay-pride roots. It's like a sonic reach-around performed on a guy in a cowboy hat.

And how did d'Arcy find out about those, exactly? 
Also: let's just call him the guy from the Shrek Musical.

Oh the terrible quotes, they used to be my happiness…  But you're my happiness now.

Agreed! Here's to Debra and Angelica locking all their lips!

Yeah, agree on McPhee's Marilyn. I didn't mind it at first, but did anyone else cringe when she opened her mouth tonight?
As for D'arcy's sad-sack hubby… I would like that character to get less shafted.

Poor Julia's kid… If only he had a Chinese baby sister to keep him out of trouble.

It's wrong that it took me forever to get this, because I love me some Ember Island Players.

About the awkwardness of Toph's statue: If she were alive, do you think she'd find it weird? It's not like she's gonna see it…

Karen already has Somewhere Over the Rainbow under her belt…

What's great is that the sonorous-voiced bartender had no clue he was falling under her spell. He gave her his money, let her drain the lifeforce from his lips, and lead his punk friends into her clutches. She's the best darkarts practitioner around, complete with Ellis, her flying monkey.

That cover is sorta horrible. I'm holding out for the guy from OneRepublic remix album.
And I like "Touch Me," not in context of the show… It just has that thumping synths we gays love so much.

I liked her with the short blond do in Community, but what do I know.

I thought that it meant that Derek had been taking Ivy's pills…

I like punching bag Ellis. Best use of his character so far.
