An actual
ballet class? We haven’t gotten to see one of those yet. Oh, and it’s for little
kids. Alright, that’s cute. We still want to see a little of a real ballet class
though. EIGHT years, Ginny? Eight years?!! Ginny is like 15!! Fanny still isn’t back. Michelle discovers a leak
in her roof and calls a plumber. Then she takes the girls out to eat. They discuss
body issues. Snore.
Michelle accidentally convinces Ginny to dump her gay boyfriend.
You know, that one she’s been dating for eight years who brings her goodie baskets.
Ginny’s nasty real estate broker mom yells at Michelle over this because she needs
gay boyfriend around as some sort of glue and helper around the house (and surrogate husband).
Sasha steals
Michelle’s shirt and they have a fight. We LOVED Michelle taking Sasha to task (when
she shouted the episode’s title). Sasha really should have gotten that reference,
but we doubt most of the people watching ABC Family did. And then they showed us
a little of a ballet class. Nice, show. Michelle has a little meltdown about not
being perfect with the girls and feeling overwhelmed with the studio. Boo’s awesome
Mom, Nanette, feeds Michelle cookies and encouragement. We still don't like Truly, even when she's less pathetic. We did like the Gilmore Girls alum who stopped by to do the plumbing...
Charlie
asks Boo to talk him up with the newly single, and “hot,” Ginny. Poor Boo. Guys
need to retire that term. “Hot” is the least intimate way a guy can say he finds
a girl attractive. It’s callous, objectifying, and too casual for the sentiment.
Don’t let guys call you hot. Lots of people are complaining that this show has no
discernible plot, even episode-to-episode. We agree, and if one doesn’t crop up
soon, one week we’re going to get too bored to tune in. This is the most meandering
show we’ve ever seen. It also feels so unnatural (STILL). We are still enjoying
Sutton Foster though. We love that the girls are getting more screen time, and we REALLY loved the 50 Shades of Grey dis from last week's episode.
Episode
grade: B-
I liked this episode, but you're right: this show does wander...It needs to get a real, solid storyline & stick to it. But having said that, I think it's one of the more enjoyable new shows that's come out in the last few years. Maybe it's the Gilmorey "lalas" or perhaps Kelly Bishop, but I am really a fan of this show!
ReplyDeleteIt's just...so much like the weaker version of Gilmore Girls. It is just making me miss Gilmore Girls. I really hope it gets better.
DeleteUnrelated to Bunheads but I just wanted to thank you guys for convincing me through your posts to try The Vampire Diaries. Gotta be honest, I was questioning why you guys even liked the show up until about episode 5. I'm on season 2 now...it's FANTASTIC. The plot twists are literally making me gasp out loud. I am massively disliking Bonnie though...is that normal? I liked her before she got all righteous about vampires. Now where I am in the series she's just kinda preachy. I dunno. Her and Jeremy bug me.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not alone in the Bonnie dislike.... at least for that season.

Hahaha, I'm sure we've said on here before that you have to give TVD a few episodes. Leeard made me promise to watch 7 before I quit (she got into the show first). I still hate Bonnie and I always will. Not only is she a jerk, but she does something weird with her jaw. She gets a little better. Jeremy gets hot, but he stays annoying because of his voice, in my opinion. But yeah...those aren't my faves.
