Sasha
goes in the sun, in a bathing suit, and gets tan lines, which is against Fanny’s rules. In the
hopes of quelling Sasha’s rebellious spirit, Fanny gives Sasha’s part in a big
dance to Boo. Sasha then proceeds to go out for cheerleading and put blue
streaks in her hair. She looks ridiculous. Fanny throws Sasha out of the studio.
Boo gets a dance partner, Carl, who is shorter than her, kind of a dork, and
clearly in love with her. Slowly, Carl wins Boo over. It’s so freaking cute.
But then Ginny and Melanie are mean to him and Boo doesn’t stand up for him!
They tell Carl that Boo doesn’t want him. How rude. Hopefully they can make it
past that because Carl is much better for Boo than douche-y Charlie. Also, Carl is completely precious.
Fanny
invites Michelle to see a play with her in Los Angeles. Michelle has a long
conflict with a large woman who won’t move her legs so that Michelle could get
to her seat. Pointless, plotwise, but very funny. Michelle meets Connor
(DIGGER. Why is Digger Styles here? THIS IS THE DARKEST TIMELINE. If he hangs around, we will strangle ourselves.), the play’s director. After some banter, they date and then sleep
together. Wow, that was quick. Do people really sleep together that quickly?
Psh, we don’t. After sex, Michelle starts crying because only now is she able
to grieve Hubbell. Okay, we can accept that. At least it made an amusing scene.
Conner handles it well, but we still hate him because he is DIGGER and he is exactly like DIGGER and DIGGER IS THE WORST.
Points off for the Killing Fields joke. That didn't work at all and bordered on bad taste.

Episode
grade: B+
I very much enjoyed this episode. Loved Michael, Carl & Connor. (You were right, this show did need some males). I was a little surprised by Sasha's blue hair, but I think it was a good plot twist. I too hope Boo & Carl get together. Boo deserves/needs a little love. I was very disappointed in Ginny & Melanie for being so rude to Carl, but I suppose it was needed to make the story more interesting. Anyway...Great episode! Oh, and this is WAY off topic, but have you 2 watched any of the Olympics?
ReplyDeleteI was the one who said the show needed males, and Leeard said that it's doubly true if I say it, because I'm usually kind of a feminist. Plus, Leeard goes more gaga over the guys.
DeleteI have watched almost none of the Olympics, but Leeard has watched a lot of it.
Leeard, have you watched the female gymnastics at all?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Not that anyone follows my tumblr, but it has basically turned into a McKayla Maroney appreciation blog. I'd say I follow a little more than half of the sports in the Olympics.
DeleteI really only watch the women's gymnastics...They've been pretty great this year! Although, I can't say the same for NBC's Olympic's coverage :( Sad story: I was really looking forward to watching the women's team final last Tuesday & I went and checked my email then signed out and right there on the front page of MSN.com in big, bold letter it told who won. Booooo! And this happened to me a little before 1 in the afternoon...Pretty sure the contest didn't air until at least 7pm...I was pretty disappointed that Jordyn Weiber didn't get in the all around finals & then kinda choked on the floor routine last night :(
ReplyDeleteBTW what's your tumblr name? I see Ern's in the sidebar, but not yours
ReplyDeleteWomen's gymnastics is definitely one of the best reasons to watch. What the athletes can do is pretty unbelievable. I've been okay with NBC's coverage (since I have access to their online content and until today, I've been able to watch just about everything I want to), but I can see how it would be frustrating otherwise. It's annoying that they don't air it on tv until primetime, but I can sort of understand it - they don't like to air things multiple times, and the majority of people work or are otherwise busy during the day. It's not like they can ask the athletes to play at 1am or another time that's more convenient for us haha
DeleteI was SO bummed that Jordyn didn't make it to all-around finals. How ridiculous is it that she was fourth best in qualifying and didn't get to go to finals!?! I'm really proud of her for competing injured though. That girl is tough.
I made a new tumblr just for you guys and added it to the side :)
I agree about Jordyn...I didn't realize until these Olympics how many stupid rules they have in gymnastics! I also thought it was a crock when Aly didn't get bronze in the all arounds. The girls tied, they should have both gotten a medal!
ReplyDeleteUntil this Olympics I didn't realize how many stupid rules they have in gymnastics. Jordyn of course was heartbreaking, but I also think Aly Raisman should have gotten an all around bronze...If the 2 girls tie they should both get a medal!
ReplyDeleteI actually wanted to watch the gymnastics, but I missed it.
