I'm happy with the episode. I don't like they they've essentially hit the re-set button, and added Jon and Idina, but on the other hand, the manic pace is a convention of the show. If I rationalize it, I can say that the plot is every bit as crazy and fast as a traditional broadway comedy, so when I think of it that way, I like what the show is able to do, and that most of the cast are able to milk every line for the gold that it is.

On the other hand, I worry about how long the show can last relying on one liners, and speeding through plot with such a hyper-stylized cast and production. It's a lot like Ugly Betty. Eventually, they'll burn out, and have a major identity crisis.

But, just for emphasis...I [b]loved[/i] Idina, Rachel, Sue, and Brittany this week. Brittany has some of the most hilarious lines next to Sue, and she delivers them so freakin' well. Her timing and slightly druggy delivery is awesome. And it's really nice to have a male focus character that can really sing. And not rap in a fake Justin Timberlake way.

And the Vogue music video is perfection.
