Glee/No Ordinary Family

Glee – A Very Glee Christmas

     I really enjoyed “Baby It’s Cold Outside”.  I also loved Will’s list of gift ideas for Sue: 1) Dog Robot and 2) A Soul.  It made me really laugh. 

     I wasn’t overwhelmed by this episode.  While I thought it was a fine episode and a pleasant enough Christmas episode, I really thought it would be more… something.  More what I don’t know, but just more something.

     Coach Beiste completely and totally won me over this episode, if she hadn’t before.  What she did for Artie, giving him mechanized legs to allow him to walk for brief periods, was amazing.   By extension she also gave Brittany a gift as well, allowing her to continue to believe that Santa Claus exists and can grant almost any Christmas wish.  While I think Brittany’s stupidity is a tough thing to believe (really is anyone this naively stupid?) this was a very sweet storyline this week.

     I was also glad that Sue the Grinch grew a heart and gave Will a nice Christmas.  With the help of the glee club he was able to celebrate the holiday.  I really REALLY expected when he walked in that Terri would be there, waiting for him in a slutty Santa suit or a Christmas bow and nothing else.  It was a great surprise for it to be Sue, and the glee club, and nothing naughty. 

No Ordinary Family – No Ordinary Sidekick

     “Will” will now be known as Joshua, until he adopts someone else’s name.  I really want to like this character, I think he is being forced to do everything he is doing by Dr King, but he is making it really difficult to like him.  I know Dr King is forcing him, but only by holding it over him that if he doesn’t do what he is told he will go back to being “normal”.

     So, Will, damnit Joshua, has somehow brain drained Daphne so she has no memory of the last three months.  She doesn’t remember she has mindreading capabilities, the trip, or anything.  Does she still HAVE the mindreading capabilities, or are they completely gone?  Guess we will find out after the winter break.

     I have to admit, I follow Julie Benz and Michael Chiklis on Twitter, and they both said this episode was going to blow us away; it was a game changer, etc, etc.  It would have been game changing if Daphne had been killed, memory loss was just interesting.
