Odd that a character like him would behave that way, isn't it? :P

Thanks! I was.

DO we know that the poetry slam thing was performed at Layton High???

I went to school in a fairly affluent Canadian public school (though we did have a sorta rival *extremely* rich private school near by—my twin actually went there) and one that was predominantly white, so no, although the Asian students who were nearly all relatively new to the country (or sent specifically to live…

Small community, the viral pics and the story of what happened at that other school probably did get around and I'm sure at least some students could put two and two together. I read it more as an awkward moment where a closeted gay guy was sorta reaching out, more than looking for a quick blow job (and seriously…

Agreed, although I did think the modern dance piece was maybe a bit too on the nose. It was beautiful (at my high school, despite a decent dance program, we might have had two people who could pull that off :P ) and was a great penultimate moment for the episode but it seemed odd that Leslie wouldn't have considered…

Because no kiss happened (from what I could tell) He went in for a kiss after that stare and Taylor walked off (understandably—I was just glad it didn't go from the cliche kiss to a punch the way you often see in movies about closeted gay guys). Or did I miss something?

The racial tension at Taylor's school leaves me baffled as to how it's connected at this point. But it's pretty obvious Kevin will be involved (ie that scene with his basketball clique where the one guy said they wouldn't tell what happened).

I had a few small issues with the episode myself but would not rank it so low—and more to the point, I agree with you—how is this review a B- when not one criticism was mentioned?

I am sure they try to only hire people who can sing, but David Hull (White Josh) has had a fairly successful stage career, albeit on Broadway it's mainly been ensemble and lead understudy. He waS Daniel Radcliff (!)'s understudy for the lead in the last How to Succeed in Business revival, has done several roles in…

He's also been a leading man in musicals—on Broadway and regionally— for quite a while now. I saw him in the original Light in the Piazza (he had to leave the role when it left Seattle and was replaced by, ugh, Matt Morrison on Broadway due to his commitment with Rescue Me in fact) and in the past couple of years was…

I've found that about his directing in general (see The Normal Heart or his mess of an adaptation of Running With Scissors which given the source material and script should have actually been a good fit for him).

Well this is arguably the least Ryan Murphy (and by proxy Brad Falchuk) work out there that he's had his name involved with, outside of his crappy theatrical movies and HBO's The Normal Heart—so keep that in mind. (As mentioned he's an Exec Producer and director, but the writing isn't his and the entire project and…

Doesn't procedural as a genre refer to non-serialized case based shows? Wiki, which I know doesn't prove anything, says: "In television, "procedural" specifically refers to a genre of programs
in which a problem is introduced, investigated and solved all within the
same episode. These shows tend to be hour-long…

The number of songs also has to do with CW's budget (of course I have no idea what or how ABC paid for Galavant all things considered). When CEG went from a 30 minute, more raunchy Showtime pilot to CW picking it up, one of the industry rags mentioned that they surprisingly didn't have to make as many changes but…

LOL I actually have a bad habit of pecking all of my friends on the cheek when saying goodbye and giving a hug (at least when I'm drunk—) which I picked up living in Montreal and became a habit. Of course I don't wink at them after, but the girls and guys don't seem to mind (OH NO, maybe I have been violating all my…

And I am totally wrong—I forgot that Dan Fogelman did the final screenplay for Tangled, which had a Slater/Menken score back in 2010—2 years before The Neighbours…

I agree except… "Hooray for America's surfeit of highly-trained musical theater actors!" I'm not sure you can give this hooray just to America considering how much of the cast isn't from there…

If Tad is still tiny he sure eats large goats…

And of course The Neighbours (which I admit I only sorta liked—but did appreciate how crazy it could get) had a musical episode written with Slater and Menken which I assume on some level led to this…
