GLEE

I saw the second episode of Glee. I saw it before most of the
country. This makes me better than you, feel sad.

Dylan was originally going to share in my superiority but
unfortunately he abandoned me for $5 trades. I wasn't about to
substitute spending another $100 on comics for seeing the best show
ever. Also, now - being after the fact - I can say that I
successfully bought a ton of $5 trades even after my time in the
Indigo Ballroom.

Anyway, back to Glee.

The show is incredibly well conceived and the writing is living up to
that conception. They are pumping the show full of camp and slapstick
humor, but it never feels false or forced. It is over the top, but
aware. In the same way that Buffy was able to say things about real
life by folding it into a sci-fi / fantasy world, and your parents are
able to give you medicine by hiding it in the applesauce, Glee manages
to be an honest reflection of high school life encapsulated in a
hyperbolic reality. Also, no TV show has ever been harmed by an
infusion of Broadway talent - Glee has plenty.

If you aren't already watching this, start. And try not to hate me
while you wait impatiently for the next episode to air.
