Wow - good episodes besides the appearance of the girl from American Idol. Tonight we learned more about Marilyn Suter (the gorgeous black music teacher) in one ep than we have in almost three years on the show.

Interesting how Ronnie, the new Vice Principle, has the whole school in an uproar since she is making it mandatory for the teachers to drop everything they are doing and study for the MCAT's. The teachers and the students are signing petitions to boycott the standardized testig. Looks like Ronnie is an outsider for now.

I thought it was ok. I liked Harper going off on the boyfriend, and even those he was a scumbag, I still felt bad for him at the end. I'm glad they finnaly gave Marilyn's character some substance.

Next week looks hilarious

Yeah, I am just hopeful that they might actually be done w/ the singing. At least we can keep our fingers crossed on that topic.

I liked how they continued w/ the Danny Hanson storyline in regardst to his girlfriend, niece and his sister. Looks as if he will have to make some tough decisions in regards to his girlfriend and niece. I hope they don't screw it up on both fronts. That has been one of the more enjoyable subplots of the season.

Overall, I think it was a pretty good episode. Again, there were too many parts that did not seem realistic. I highly doubt that many high school students would give a crap if the lesson plans were changed for a few weeks.

Wilson High is one of the most unrealistic high schools ever. It would takes tons of hours to put on a high quality musical like that, and it looks like they put it on with a few week's of practice. The set looks rather expensive, as well, and there's no way a public high school production can be that perfect.

This was really one of the better episodes of the season, especially considering the quality of some of the previous episodes. A little predictable, but plesant enough that I didn't have to roll my eyes at one of those emotional, weepy scenes.

Yeah, but what about Winslow..??

This ep was pretty good..however, it came to a screeching halt whenever Ms. "14minutes55secondsandcounting" was on..

Hope this was her last ep..

I recorded it and FF'd through her scenes.

It's the MCAST tests, right? The MCATs are for medical school hopefuls.

Danny's girlfriend gives me the hot! But she looks too much like Danny's sister. Hmm...

Overally, a decent episode. I do enjoy the musical numbers, and Tamyra is improving (acting-wise) and sounded nice in the short number at the end.

Next week looks great!

True, but..... they've used this device so many times now (a teacher able to help/console/guide a student because they've "been there" themselves) that I just wish they could be a bit more creative every now and then.

What happens? My recording chopped the preview.

Patman

That's all I remembered at the time.

good episode. I was hoping that boyfriend would hit her again.

Looks like Ronnie is going to hook up with the administrator guy.

..to knock the remaining five seconds outta her..?

[bad joke] No. Since she only had one black eye, it's obvious he only told her once. I was waiting for him to tell her twice. [/bad joke]
