Matt, now I'm curious. I'm always glad to see people call LaBute out on his ****.
That proposal was awful--with poor Goldie, who seems more and more like she was lobotomized--grinning away in the background, half dressed. Her character has become (quickly) an utter fail to me--she can't stand up to her mother, she loves everyone and knows love is love, but seemed to yesterday tell her daughter, via that flashback, that you can't help agreeing to get marriedto utter losers and you just have to go with it, and, yes, as Whizzer said, the pretend wedding storyline was simply the dumbest thing I've seen on a sitcom in a long time, which is saying a lot. Is this something Ryan Murphy imagines himself throwing for his own future kids?
I grew up with a cousin with downs syndrom (thankfully he has no desire to act, otherwise I'm sure Ryan Murphy would write a part for him...), so was always sensitive as a kid not to use that word. But I get what you mean--the actress seems to have resigned herself that the only way to play the role is to kinda have a blank-spaced out expression and deliver her lines. I don;'t blame her.
It's so odd. She seemed to have a spark and some life to her in the first episode. But now she's just some sort of nondescript vessel (quite literally) on this show.
Exactly. The whole empetus for the show seemed to be her finally wanting to make something of her life, and taking off, wanting to persue law school, etc... Ummm?
Ya know! In the olden days, you didn't go have to go to law school You could just apprentice with an attorney! Maybe this show is set in the olden days...but it's the big surprise twist!
Well after reading some of these posts it seems that I am not missing anything on this show. I really enjoyed Andrew Rannells as Bob Gaudio in the 1st National tour of 'Jersey Boys' and I think Justin Bartha is great in the 'National Treasure' films, so I was wondering whether or not I should give this show a chance. Now I am thinking that I probably should not. Also, I am not a big fan of Ryan Murphy's because 'Glee' got too over-the-top and raunchy and also had poor script writing. I watched 'Modern Family' tonight and I still love it, so I do no think judging from the previews of this show and what has been discussed on here that I need to watch another comedy.
I remember Gotye initially walking back his comments of Glee doing the song on a technical standpoint but then he said he liked how the show's version of the song was in the context of two guys. Not sure if he knew the context was brothers and not lovers.
where the hell were Wilbur's parents?! Why weren't they at the pretend wedding? Did they even know it was going on? Kinda creepy if they didn't.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
Well, I TRIED to watch last weeks episode and couldn't turn it off fast enough.
I can't take how stupid and nasty everyone is.

"The Godparent Trap" - Bryan starts thinking about the traditions of his Roman Catholic upbringing and seeks advice from a priest at local church; David and Bryan want their friends Victoria and Tiffany to be their baby's godparents.
How crazy that they are going to look back to Catholic traditions for their child, but be so very modern by trying to have a lady godfather!
