I… liked this show. And truth be told, I never really watched GG (I mean I liked it well enough when it aired, I love most of the cast, but I just never watched enough to get hooked). But I think it was deeply flawed. The concept first of all had one big problem if you're a ballet fan—Sutton Foster is a *wonderful*

I liked how he still sorta defended it as a "bitch wanted it" situation, placing Taylor into the "slutty girl who was asking for it" role.

The whole scene was very well done—I also liked how the husband clearly was more level headed about the whole thing but they didn't make it a much more (on TV) typical of a situation with one parent thinking the whole gay thing is great and the other being vilified.

Absolutely. Her whole body language when she was talking to Eric, trying to butter him up for the interview was wonderful/awful to watch and something I know I've experienced in real life.

I am starting to get a bit more how it's thematically connected, but I still agree (especially when we don't even see how it effects Evy who seems virtually removed from it, despite the fight being partly about her). I actually agree with the reviewer that the random cyber dad storyline is more intriguing (am I alone

Yeah, I think when it's a minor, it becomes a trickier issue—though I see where you're coming from. I think the show also stresses that this is how Anne is dealing with it—she's in some ways doing it this way (believing she is helping her son, and maybe she is) so that she can avoid actually dealing with him one on

Why are you still watching? It is heightened, absolutely, but I think there is, unfortunately, a lot of truth there—especially depending on where you live.

I assume the same about Anne—but never thought about the fact that he accidentally drank a roofied drink—and I think that makes a lot of sense (much more than the theory I've heard that Kevin was sexually frustrated and took it out on Taylor after he figured out what Eric had done…)

Well at least this sounded like a B Review—unlike last week's B-…

Recently there have been a couple of experimental Poe musicals that did (or at least tried to do) just that.

Murphy did direct this episode, and apparently cast the show, but otherwise I don't think he really should get any of the credit you give.

Man I love Caroline, or Change. (I just had to chime in there…)

Darryl seems to be featured in the next episode which… doesn't air for two weeks ARGH (The CW seems to have some odd video game contest thingie on instead….)

Sondheim has gotten a lot of flack for his section talking about the work of other lyricists, but really his books are more than worth it just to hear about the creation of so many songs (and to have lyrics for projects like Muscle and Singing Out Loud that we'll probably never hear).

And really, will *anyone* picking up this book not have heard that anecdote? I mean I know I come from a 25 year love of Sondheim—but it's pretty prevalent in any book about musical theatre.

Ah thanks for the clarification—I forgot that he crossed over to Cucumber.

I appreciate that. I don't agree with you on the grade, but I think you have a fair point about some of the dialogue in general.

I dunno—if you were being interrogated, had been seeing a shrink on the subject, etc, it actually probably is a line you would say.

Only while re-watching the last two episodes did I realize he was the same guy watching Taylor when he started class.
