Glee & etc.
I have not yet seen this week's episode, but: has anyone else found themselves just recording Glee and then fast-forwarding through it to (mostly) watch only the musical numbers? The actual "plots" have generally become deeply embarrassment (and otherwise) squick inducing for me, as much as I love the music.
While I'm talking about squick-inducing things, TCM is running a Fred Astaire marathon today, and Swing Time is on. I love this movie, not least for the completely awesome white dress with gorgeous full skirt that Ginger Rogers wears when she dances on the stairs with Fred. However! I believe that this movie is also the one which has Fred dancing in blackface. *facepalm* When I fell in love with this movie as a child, I didn't know any better, but now? Ick.
And while I'm here, I'd like to wish all who celebrate it a very Happy Thanksgiving!

The Prisoner Remake?
Dear flist: I have 6 hours of The Prisoner sitting on my DVR at home, along with however many other hours of TV I normally watch. I will not get to watch it until I get back, at which point I will have many other things I could spend my time on.
My question is, as someone who has never seen the original, is the remake worth it? It's got Ian McKellan, who almost makes it worth it in and of himself for me. However, I've been hearing not-so-good things about the remake, albeit from fans of the original, to the point where I'm not sure even Sir Ian will be able to save it. Should I bother trying, or just delete from the DVR unseen?

Er.
Having seen a spoiler for the episode as a comment in a journal where I did not expect to see Supernatural commentary, and having not seen last night's episode yet, I have a really spoilery question for those of you who have seen it: ( Major spoilers for last night's SPN )
For those who may be wondering, I have made it to the hotel for tonight, having survived the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I will probably collapse soon.
