The Ashitaka's Angels: Week in TV podcast 12/8/11 by Ashitaka's Angels
Nay, reader, your eyes do not deceive you. THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF THE ASHITAKA'S ANGELS ARE STILL ALIVE!!! Many thanks to Good Grief, who has been holding down the fort while Lea and I were living under a rock. Well, living under a rock and watching lots of TV. Last night, we decided, "Hey, we should probably talk about all this TV we're watching. Now, if only there was some place on the internet where we could discuss all the shows that we watch....like... a TV blog. Oh, wait!" Then, we made this podcast. Warning: it is a bit of a WHOPPER. In terms of length, that is.
It is not, unfortunately, a chocolate-covered malt ball or a hamburger.
For those brave souls who end up listening to the whole thing, there's a digital hug waiting for you.
For those who do not want that and want to skip around, here's the rundown on what we discuss:
00:00-04:59 Boardwalk Empire: S2E11 "Under God's Power She Flourishes"
05:00-09:18 The Walking Dead: Season 2 in general
09:19-12:00 New Girl: overall impressions
12:01-13:50 Modern Family: S3E10 "Express Christmas"
13:51-18:00 The Office: S8E10 "Christmas Wishes"
18:01-24:00 Parks & Rec: S4E10 "Citizen Knope"
24:01-35:15 Community: S3E10 "Regional Holiday Music"/ Doctor Who Christmas Special Flail/ Inspector Spacetime Christmas Wish
35:16-40:00 Breaking Bad: Its similarities to Glee, how it has shattered Lea's life, and how she wants it to shatter mine
Enjoy :)

3.3 Asian F & 3.4 Pot of Gold
Asian F
Glee took a break after airing Asian F and in turn I have been lacking in reporting (blogging) on anything. Now is the time to make up for that. I hope to get you all
catched up and peek your wits for sectionals.
Finally the writers made a true attempt to focus on another member's problem instead of the main drama causers. This episode was great because we got a look at Mike Chang. Everyone knows him as the loveable and talented dancer with a kicking set of abs.
As everyone is trying out for the musical Brittany has decided that she is also a "unicorn" or magical and therefore has tossed her hat in the rink for senior class president against Kurt. And when Mercedes steps up and tries out for Maria (the lead in West Side Story), Rachel decides to also toss her hat in the ring.
Back to what made the episode so interesting, Mike's struggle between his dream and what his father has planned for him. His dad wants him to quit Glee club and give up on dancing and focus on school. In the end Mike skips a tutoring session and shows his Mom
what it means to follow your dreams. Mike lands not only a part in the play but a singing part due to his hard work and passion for dancing.
Of course there was bigger drama than Mike having to lie to his parent's Mercedes leaves New Directions after she and Rachel are asked to share the part of Maria in West Side Story. Where does she go? Shelby just happens to be looking for AMAZING voices for her group and if Mercedes is one thing she definitely can blow.
Pot of Gold
One of the Glee Project winners is written in. Hello Damian McGinty and congrats! Damian plays Rory Flananigan, a sweet Irish who is friendless and just like any other teenage boy. He tricks Brit into thinking he's a lepachraun so that he can see her "pot of gold," along the way he makes friends with Finn and is inaugurated into the glee club after...drum roll please, Santana and Brit defect to the new group. For those of you who missed it, Rachel's birth mother Shelby is back in town and has open her home up to Puck and Quinn (who is back to her natural hair color), so that they can be a part of their daughter's life. Of course Quinn takes this as an opportunity to prove that Shelby is an unfit mother and a chance to get Beth back.
Anyways so Mercedes has joined the rogue group after she unfairly was asked to share the part with Rachel when she clearly was better during try outs. Also during this episode to uplift the spirits of the group. Blaine not only sings "TGIF" by Katy Perry but he brings his own flair to it. Blaine is the king of Katy Perry's repertoire.
The last thing you need to know, Kurt's dad saves the play and in turn becomes the candidate that Mr Schue was looking for along. Yep, that's right it's a face off between Sue and Burt!
