So, I just watched the latest Bunheads episode, and I must say it was quite interesting. Not to much happens, but you can tell they're just setting some plotlines up for the next episode, which is the last one before the season finale. I can't wait! We're all going to have a Bunheads party, and watch all the episodes in order, then have cake! Anyway, on to the episode.
It started with a scene between Melanie and Ginny. Poor Melanie. Still no plotline. And to to that, Gorgeous Charlie has disappeared from this episode, so she really has nothing to work with here. Anyway, then there is a semi-funny bit about Fanny and flowers, which may or may not be a pun on her name. (Fanny Flowers) Ha ha. Not really.
Then, we meet this guy in Fannies kitchen, and Michelle is being very awkward. Turns out he's a 'friend,' Michael. Wearing her slippers and cooking eggs in her kitchen. Well. And he's huge! Really huge! Taller then Sutton, who is pretty tall. She was the tallest person ever to play Eponine in Les Mis. She herself said she was 'Giant Eponine!' So this Michael must be very tall. Kinda creepy. Then Michelle makes an absolute fool of herself talking about Kinky Breakfasts. LOL. He never lets her forget that.
Cut to the dance studio, where the girls are watching Ginger Rogers dancing. They go down to the studio (Fanny in a bad mood!) where Sasha and an insanely cute guy named Jordan are practicing their Ginger Rogers dance. Jeez, that guy can dance. Where'd they find him, anyway? The number of boys I know in my dance class that are legitimately talented could fit on one hand. Jordan and Sasha dance really well, making full use of the furniture and bars in the studio. Super cool. Then Fanny (Who, by the way, is 'Always here.' Ha. Could have fooled me.) tells us that its show season. Very busy! Lots to do! Including the Ginger Rogers dance Sasha and Jordan do so well. Then she rants about cheerleaders for a while. Sasha is getting an idea. :) Then Fanny notices tan lines on Sasha. Hmm....... Somethings up! Fanny gets super mad, and Sasha makes some snippy comments. Well, Fanny is not going to stand for tan lines now, is she? Of course not. So she cuts Sasha from the Ginger Rogers dance, and puts Boo in instead. Bad choice. Boo is not that good a dancer. In my opinion, they should have cast Melanie. But whatever I think, they do the opposite. So Boo it is. Well. Sasha is not to happy.
Then Fanny invites Michelle to a show. Michelle gets annoyed Fanny didn't ask her before getting tickets, and cracks some spinster daughter jokes, which are, admittedly, quite funny. But she agrees to go, after wondering what dirty word that the 'Blank' in the title means. I wonder too. Because nothing I know makes sense there. Oh well. It's still funny. Michelle confronts Fanny about Michael, who clearly doesn't like musicals. And Michelle is driving. Duh.
Back at school, Ginny and Melanie joke that an enraged Sasha might jump out at Boo from her locker. Funny, but improbably, because Boo's locker is to small. Boo says she didn't ask for the role. The others say Sasha might not pay attention to that detail, but rather to the outcome - Boo has it. Sasha doesn't. Boo says they're being silly. But she still jumps back as she opens her locker. Funny. Poor Boo. But knowing Sasha, she better watch out.
Michelle and Fanny arrive at the theatre, and at once Michelle gets into a 'seating tiff' with a woman who won't let them through. Michelle gets mad, and makes some nasty Pamema Canal comments, to which she's rightfully entitled. She also berates Fanny about bringing wine into the theatre (I agree with her! Its a theatre, not a god damned restaurant.) and then proceeds to drink it, muttering about the matinee crowd. They talk about Sasha. Michelle asks if she got cut from Nutcracker, to which Fanny replies: "No! I need her in nutcracker." Good choice, Fanny. Boo is so not good enough to dance in Nutcracker. The play starts..............eek.
Boo vies for Sasha's forgiveness, and gives her a brownie. Yum. Boo then interrogates her about tan lines and how she thought she didn't like then sun. Sasha says she's changed. Boo isn't to sure. Boo is probably right.
After a horrible act one, Michelle is stuck at the back of the theatre, having been held up in the bathroom by the oldies. She meets the rather harried director, Conner, who is scribbling away in a notebook. He is very annoyed at his actors, who are clearly not doing to well. They bond. Michelle asks what the play is about, and the director says he has no idea. Well, that makes three of us.
At the studio, Boo finds out Jordan quit the dance due to 'Family problems'.' Yup. 'Family Problems.' Ooh, I really believe that one! Good for him, I think. I hate Boo. She's annoying. I wouldn't dance with her. And Jordan and Sasha are perfect together! Carl, his replacement, is this tiny guy with no talent and a huge crush on Boo. Whoopee! More romance, because we've clearly forgotten about Charlie. Boo, Melanie, and Ginny make fun of Carl. Rightly. Carl runs in to Boo - Who he calls Bettina, which she hates - and pesters her on the job, which Boo seems to end up liking. Idiot. The next day, they rehearse together. Carl seems to be getting his way, because boy, is Boo showing interest! (Charlie? What about him?) They dance. Jeez, they suck. Much as Sasha deserved to be cut, I wouldn't have done it. Fanny needs to think about the quality of her productions, and how bad Boo and Carl will look. Which is super bad. He's not even cute, she' nowhere near pretty, and they are both pretty mediocre dancers.
Conner calls Michelle and invites her to come see the show again. Guess what? It still sucks. In bed together, they talk about their careers. Conners as probably the only NY actor to never be on Law and Order, and Michelle's feminine product commercial. Its got wings! Oh my god, that was so funny. Michelle starts crying. Aww. Turns out, she misses Hubble. WELL ITS ABOUT TIME! I mean god, she was married to the guy, albeit briefly, and she did know him. I mean, its gotta make an impression. Conner is very good about it, in spite of some tactless comments about how this is the stuff writers try to write. It wold have been funnier if he'd whipped out a pad and started taking notes. Poor Conner. I really hope to see him again. He's awesome! And funny. Prefect for Michelle.
At the dress rehearsal, Carl invites Boo over for dinner, but Melanie and Ginny turn him down for her, not realizing her intentions have changed. And idiot that she is, she doesn't even stand up for herself. Typical Boo. Then, Sasha bursts in in dark clothes, with......BLUE HAIR! It looks great. Fanny doesn't think so, and gets majority pissed off. Sasha and Fanny proceed to scream at each other, while Michael tells Michelle to stay out of it. Sasha says she's going out for cheer, which is a direct result of Fanny's "Cheer Is Not An Art Rant."Fanny is rightly shocked. Sasha says she can't handle both. Fanny agrees, and kicks her out!!! Now, I might have done the same if I were her. But I think Michelle needs to talk to Sasha, because it seems Michelle is more like her then we realize. (Deb, ect.) Michelle may be able to get Sasha back to dance, because its clear that dance is something she cares about and relies on, no matter what she says. Michelle may also be able to get to the bottom of all this Sasha stuff, because I'd say Sasha has got some serious problems at the moment, and I'm afraid they might get worse. coming from experience, what Sasha is doing now can easily lead to........other things. While that might be interesting for the show - I'd like to see them deal with stuff like that - Sasha might not come off well. I have some ideas for the season finale. :) A pushed-over-the-edge-Sasha might not be good news. Oh, and...where's Truely? We missed her. Can't wait till next week!
