I thought it was typical Boston Public.

The Ronnie & Danny thing was the only story that interested me.

The Flynn storyline seems kind of forced since they needed something for him to do.

The inevitable Harper blow up at the basketball coach will probably happen on the next new ep.

Where has Lipschitz been? He's one of the best parts of the show and they don't give him anything to do anymore.

Maybe.

It seems the only time they bring him on anymore is to crack a joke about his black family then he disappears for a month.

Well don't you need to force storylines to give a character something to do?

Wow, they really love that Duncan Shiek song, don't they?

I have feeling, regarding the Marcie baby storyline,
Spoiler:
It'll be a miscarriage

It's just so "David E. Kelly", no?

The disappearing act is so common. Didn't the basketball coach just show up out of nowhere? I didn't catch last week's episode, where it might have started, but jeez, teachers just come in and out.

And I thought 7 of 9 was going to pay the $50,000 to liberate the student from her slavery. I guess she ran out of money after being so charitable last season.

The mother/daughter story line is just too disturbing. It's also creepy. Anybody else feel the daughter wants the teacher all for herself?

I would have to watch it again, but I swear Danny called 7 of 9 "Ryan" when he was with her in the teacher's lounge. Probably heard something wrong, but it did make me do a double take.

yes. I think her asking Flynn if he had a girlfriend and making a big deal about being related to Emerson, I think that's who she said, point to that.

Blah blah blah ... that's about all I can come up with for this episode. Good thing we don't need to be concerned with where that little girl is going to find food and shelter now.

"Good thing we don't need to be concerned with where that little girl is going to find food and shelter now."

Did I miss something or did Ms. Cook not explain to Danny while walking in the hall that a visa can be obtained through the INS for a person under "extreme" working conditions as long as that person can find a residence. Thus children services was contacted and wow two (2) for one (1) the girl gets a home and a visa to stay in the states.

The only thing I wish from this season is that they simply end it, I mean this show has really "jumped the shark." David Kelley needs to take a break from television in hopes of getting any sort of creativity back into his work.

Great revealing top that the daughter was wearing at the beginning on the episode.

I thought Ronnie was going to write another check to solve a student's problem.

Who else thinks the hoops star will suffer a career-ending injury before the end of the season?

Oh dear God, not the singing! This week's episode was pretty dull, but so far I've been enjoying this season more than last, mainly because of less singing and more comedy. I don't mind if Duncan Sheik is singing, though I felt sorry for him having his career sink to the level of playing in a Boston diner.

Yes. It's true. It only gets worse from here...

I guess they're running out of plot lines?

I was thinking they should have had the basketball player make the last shot but get fouled and blew out his knee, thus ending his career on a bittersweet note. Goodbye scholarship, face time, and assistant coaching job.

I thought Ronnie would write out a check, too.

I think Marcie will lose her baby, too.

On a serious note: does anyone ever remember high school teachers making house calls? I don't...and if they did, it would never occur this often. Maybe in a small town where everybody knows your name...

What happens next week to the New Kid Youngling who is sleeping w/ the student's mother? My tape cut out on me and I didn't get to see more than two seconds of the preview, thanks.

Well I heard it too if it is any consolation... certainly sounded more like "Ryan" than "Ronnie".

Now that the singing appears destined to return - perhaps the show IS crawling to an end. If you remember how Ally started collapsing, this show is headed in the same direction:

multiple pointless singing #
quickly rotating cast members
tons of small story arc "stunt" casting

BTW I think Lipschultz is still hanging out at his son's house (since his Christmas visit) prattling on with the family about his past lives.
