Joss!
Glee directed by Joss Whedon! Woo hoo! I saw Joss Wedon's name on the opening titles of Glee this week and found myself watching the whole episode looking for signs of his directorial genius. I think I saw it - but maybe I'm fooling myself. I think his use of exterior and non-school shots was good. Glee is afraid to get outside of that High School. But this week we were treated to an outside walk and talk, a bar scene, a mall scene, and an awesome sing off with Will Schuester and NPH on a fake Les Mis stage. I enjoyed this "Dream On" episode. I especially liked the use of hand held consumer cameras in the shopping mall scene to help the layman understand the fakeness of the scene. Good job Joss! I hope this can hold you until your next big thing. Whatever it is, I'll watch it.

(nice blog! big TVphile, friend of chad :) )
We enjoyed the dance in the mall scene very much too--so free and fun. You could tell a lot of locals were persuaded to boogie along. And it is exciting to hear the Glee cast put new spins on old songs--making them even better in some cases. "Dream On" duet was also terrific, but I was disappointed in the duet between Rachel in her mom. It's such a fantastic song, and there were parts that seemed sort of forced. I don't want them to get too aware of themselves. Keep it fresh, innocent, and it will win every time.
Go, Joss!
