Eh. I have confusing lesbian feelings for Annie all the time. Don't sweat it:-P

Of course I have no clue what you're talking about re: Fringe, which I may or may not watch once it is canceled, but it would be pretty damn hard to top "Once More With Feeling." I still remember hearing that there was going to be a Buffy musical ep and I was all NO WAY. Yet it was fucking brilliant and is probably one of the eps I've seen the most often.

Hehe to Anil Kapoor and Bollywood. My theory is that anything would have been better than what we got, but that's just me;)

There are some theories that sexual orientation may be a lot more fluid and changeable than we have originally thought. Men in prison get involved in homosexual relationship simply because only other men are available.

South Park has done some brilliant musicals eps. Their Christmas special is still my favorite, especially the numbers "I'm a lonely Jew at Christmas" by Kyle and "Christmas time in Hell" by sensitive gay Satan.

Annie would have looked stunning in a Sari. Oh well.

Anna Torv was totally working that 40's noir look. A regular Katherine Hepburn, really. I think that between that and her stint on the Pacific, she should really look into doing a period film during the hiatus because she can rock that look like WHOA.

I loved all the anachronisms. It fit for this show because I think we're not supposed to feel as though it's totally noir but really the jumbled craziness that is Walter's stoned out brain. Things were meant to feel out of place, and if it had be along the lines of Sky Captain, it would have been too cohesive for it to really be Walter. He *is* missing chunks of his brain, after all.

I did enjoy the Princess Bride quality of this episode, though. Even the fact that Ella was annoying didn't bother me too much because she's a kid who's been foisted onto strangers when she'd rather hang out with Aunt Liv.

Overall, not exactly Once More With Feeling. The Fringe musical ep (without that much music) was a noble failure. I respect noble failures.I think that for all that interviews were ( ... )

You make some good points. The Ep felt like a sort of disconnected dream. The part about stealing childrens dreams and replacing them with nightmares may be a reference to the Kindergarten from Hell in "Jacksonville". I also avoided all promos and spoilers, a sign that a care about a TV show.

To me, it just felt that they didn't have the time/budget to carry it the conceit to it's full realization. The whole thing also felt a bit too self-couscous for my taste.

If I had all the eps on DVD, I would skip most of the first season. This show is great, but it is also uneven. Less so in the past few eps. The fact that there is a third season helps make the end of Lost and 24 more bearable ( ... )
