Chang's plan was to get the group expelled by tying up Cornwallis, but Chang didn't even really tie up Cornwallis.  I don't think he had to pretend to be bad at tying knots as part of his Changnesia act.

I want these characters to get good grades because I like these characters and want them to do well.

I feel like we've seen very little of history class compared to the other classes that these characters have taken.

True.  (Maybe because of Bonnie's involvement?)

Don't witches go to the other side?  Silas's love was a witch, right?

"Steven R. McQueen’s Silas voice was pretty hilarious."  Agreed.

Yes.  I also liked that Tina herself could not remember whether or not she was on The Cheerios.

This episode felt just crammed with cast members to me, but it still was missing some obvious people.  And it suddenly remembered some Glee plots while completely dropping others.  Sigh, such is Glee.

Sweeney Todd would have been my go-to example.

Besides "Guy Love," which seems fundamentally tied to Scrubs as a whole (at least in retrospect), my favorite songs of "My Musical" are "Gonna Miss You, Carla" and "For the Last Time, I'm Dominican."

The Chew on This section of Shmoop's Themes seems to be rubbing off on me.

You bring up good points.  For a bottle episode, I didn't get a claustrophobic feel at all, and while I did connect with some of the characters, especially the professor, the individual characterization could have been better overall (as it was in "Midnight").

Wow, a decent episode of Smash!  :-)  I think it's interesting that we didn't get any new musical numbers, just ones we've seen at some point before.  We get the dream theatre out of the way with Tom in the beginning and there's no singing and dancing in it.  Could it be that a Smash without random songs inserted here…

It seemed like the Ice Warrior's biggest problem was that five thousand years had passed and thus presumably his daughter had died and his entire civilization, which failed initially to respond to his call for help, had turned to dust.  My biggest problem with the episode was that Clara never once said anything to…

Frasier's "Look Before You Leap": "Please, please, I've been going over your music, and when we get to this section here, either I can play really loud, or jab you with a pin, because between you and me, you're not hitting this note without a pole vault."  So instead of a Verdi aria, we get a misremembered "Buttons…

Surgery in an opera?  How wonderfully decadent!  And I was just beginning to lose interest.

It's a conspiracy maintained by those invested in the Thomas Edison agenda!

- Tiny Toons!  :-)  I was one of the kids who got introduced to They Might Be Giants via their "Istanbul, Not Constantinople."

Oh yeah, where is Perry?

Very true.
