setraAs someone who is constantly trying to get back to the good old days of my High School and Collage years.... it's starting to get hard to watch with all this graduation stuff happening.
So... "Choke" through "Nationals"
I know why Rachel had to fail. I know there has to be something coming for her that will be great. But I feel like her doing "Don't Rain on My Parade" was a... really poor choice. Because all I can think is that "Get It Right" (or an new original song) would have been a much more personal choice, with equal skill required... and would have been a unique and interesting talent to showcase.
Puck breaks my heart a little, and I'm glad to see he'll still be around. OH, so... when "The Rain in Spain" started, I choked, I flailed, I could not stop flailing in fact... Jessica thought I was having a fit of some kind. She has never seen "My Fair Lady". I need to see it again now that I love Jeremy Brett the way I do.
Prom again. Rachel, Finn, whatever. ExcellentSamuelJoe number with Rory. A couple AMAZING Santana numbers as well.
Blaine's terrible poofy hair! <3 Kurt being there as the previous Prom Queen. Brittany being so so /so/.... not smart. Santana was stunning all episode long.
So Jess and I caught up through Nationals tonight... standouts to me were "Mean" because it makes me cry. The TroubleTones number from nationals... and Alex's number from nationals. Jess had never seen "Dance With Somebody" so I got to see "It's Not Right (but it's ok)" again... and holy shit Blaine. Guh.
Yeah. The format of their competition annoyed the fuck out of me again. But I think maybe they just don't care? Clearly they have no interest in consistent regions, sections, or even a consistent number of teams reaching nationals so. Yeah.
And, I have feelings and a new theory about Sherlock after my second time through Reichenbach...
Firstly, I get more annoyed the longer I listen to the canon with how badly they stripped down Sherlock's social abilities. Yeah, ACD Holmes didn't give a shit about people most of the time, but he understood that to DO HIS JOB he needed to be able to have a conversation without everyone wanting to punch him in the face. He was able to calm and soothe women and establish a rapport with them. Not so of BBC Sherlock. At all. Perhaps Elementary will actually be an improvement in this department.
Second is that my new theory is 1) I don't care how he survived, he did, the ball was involved in weakening his radial pulse, but I don't care. 2) What if Rich Brook IS an actor, hired to play Moriarty... but not by Sherlock, by the real MORIARTY. This explains why Rich has all this history, jobs, resumes, presumably bank accounts, etc... AND why he's a bit... over the top dramatics-wise. Anyway, that's what I'm contemplating. Well, that and figuring out what horrible shit real!Moriarty had over Rich Brook that made him decide that killing himself was the last way out if Sherlock wasn't going to play nice.
