Anyone else remember the episode of CSI where Sara and Warrick dress a pig in a nightgown and light it up? The corpses (or ash, really) on Bones have experienced the same phenomena -- the wick effect. And no, not the effect chatterbox intern and Sweets lover Ms. Daisy Wick has on our blood pressure.

But wait, there's more after the jump!

The theme this week on Fringe seems to be something along the lines of "there's more than one of everything" or "there's nothing special about most people." How depressing is that? We did get to learn more about  The Observer(s), which is great. Apparently there's more than one Observer, and one of them is named August. Of course, just as soon as we start to feel empathy for poor August, he dies.

And the episode ends with another Observer making dire comments about "her" future - but we're left wondering if the her in question was Olivia or her adorable niece. They'd better not make that little girl's life miserable. If they do, we'll have to drive to their offices and give them a strong talking-to. We heart her.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. More after the jump.

Well, it was certainly a night of revelations on Glee, wasn't it folks? Both Quinn and Finn's families found out about their unborn bundle of joy (largely due to Finn's stupidity, but what's done is done) and Puck let slip to Mercedes that he's the baby-daddy. And as always, music comes to the rescue.

Hapless Schue was the victim of yet another obsessive doe-eyed crush with creepy and hilarious results. Rachel has always been a bit of an emotional wild-card, but we didn't expect her to go so far over the edge. She's also way too smart to get conned by Terri into scrubbing the Schuesters' tub. However, the whole situation was a great vehicle for "Endless Love." We haven't seen a rendition that hysterical since the lip-syncing Zamboni driver in Happy Gilmore.

In any case, Susie Pepper was right; Rachel does need to get her self-esteem back up. There's nothing worse than a teen dramedy that masks a girl's obvious gorgeous assets with a catch-all mask of nerdy interests. You can sing and Finn thinks you have a great ass, Rachel. Now go out there and work it.

Finally Finn got another feature worthy of his talents; it's been too long since the Avril Lavigne number. Both the Pretenders and Paul Anka ballads were tremendously entertaining and the latter had an added boost of awkwardness and hilarity. Despite Finn's confession a la song being a completely bonehead move, Quinn actually seemed grateful for him, albeit for a millisecond. It was a little surprising that she didn't take the honesty cue and tell him that he wasn't the father, but if we had a white knight like that, we'd probably hang on to him like hell too.

We're down to just seven couples on So You Think You Can Dance, and things are getting tough. We loved so many of them, we can't really guess who will be at the bottom. Sure, the judges expressed their opinions, but we thought they were crazy. More on that later. We're going to give you photos once again, in order of what we thought were best to not-so-best. It's so tough this week, though. We thought everyone was great.

But greatest was Ryan and Ellenore with their contemporary routine. They didn't do so great last week, so there was probably some extra incentive there, but they even made us like contemporary. We who haven't been big fans of that genre up till now were glued to the screen, drinking it all in. Fabulous!

More photos after the jump.

We do so love a monster of the week episode that might have mythology arc implications. So why oh why do they have to make the monster an emotionally damaged sweet-looking 15 year old boy? When they make us feel empathy for the monster, there's always more there than meets the eye. Is there anything more fun than unraveling cover stories on top of cover stories? Such was the case with this week's Fringe, and we even had a fresh helping of emotional depth between Walter and Peter. Satisfying.

First Stewie Griffin from Family Guy stopped by Bones... now Homer Simpson! Ok, just Dan Castellaneta, the voice behind the Simpsons patriarch. Any Simpsons fan worth their salt would recognize the actor (and if you're playing Fox's Simpsons Scavenger Hunt, that's a big blinding clue). Castellaneta plays a fellow law enforcement officer who just happens to find a green skeleton at the bottom of a sinkhole.



What do you get when you put a little green man, gold coins and a rainbow together? That's right kids! A leprechaun... or, in this case, a midget wrestler who's persona is a leprechaun and who broke into a gold exchange to nab enough money to win the heart of his "normal" size twin brother's wife. Yeah, we know. It's a head spinner. Ah, what some men wouldn't do when blinded by love.

Speaking of: Booth's still off his game. He's practicing to re-qualify as a sharpshooter and it's not going well. The former sniper for the Army Rangers is barely hitting the target. Desperate, Booth turns to Dr. Gordon Wyatt (that's CHEF Wyatt now, thank you very much), for advice. He suggests that all the little things such as forgetting his "cocky" belt buckle or which hand he uses to hold a cell phone are not symptoms of the brain surgery, but manifestations of his angst in loving Brennan. Chef Gordon advises Booth to give her some time to come around on her own (Noooo! You're killing us!). In the meantime, bring her to the range when takes the qualification test, he can't miss.

Booth: "I just need you to help me aim my gun."
Chef Gordon Gordon Wyatt: "That sounds desperately phallic. Is it a... sexual problem?"

Did anyone think that the title of this episode of Glee was a little overstated? It was great to delve into Artie's character a bit more -- which has been more or less unknown to us until now -- but it wasn't quite enough. We probably saw more of Finn in a wheelchair than we did Artie.

However, what we did see was fantastic. Artie's quiet candor was perfect for delivering his quips, and his unplugged Billy Idol solo was incredible. However, we're a little disappointed with his reaction to Tina's confession. He's absolutely right that she shouldn't fake a handicap when he'll never be rid of his, but she opened up to him about her hesitancy to get close to people and was immediately shut down. Argument aside, we think those crazy kids are too cute together to stay apart for very long.

Once again, it seems that Kurt has stolen the show. He gave another heartfelt and hilarious performance -- we loved how he kept his legs crossed in the wheelchair at all times. It's easy to see why Ryan Murphy wrote Chris Colfer into the script and he had the foresight to weave in a contrasting but caring father figure with Mike O'Malley. O'Malley and Colfer clicked so well together and it's great to see that Kurt's confiding in his father is turning out to be a rewarding bonding experience for both of them.

Puck was another repeat hit. He was charming and funny without losing his jackass veneer. Lying about paralysis-by-shark-attack to score weed and lacing the bake sale cupcakes with it was right in step with his increasingly interesting character. He also got the only genuine smile out of the hormonal, bitchy Quinn in the episode. The magnetism between those two is the most believable out of all the flirtationships, including Schue and Emma.  

Finally, there was Sue. If there was one theme of this episode, it's that everyone has their own complications and contradictions, especially when it comes to relationships. When Sue started being nice to Schue in "Mash-Up," we were a little worried that this would drain her of the venom we have come to love and crave. However, a softening of her character, or maybe just further insight, was needed. If we're going to explore the anomalies of the other characters, why should the villain be left out? Even Lex Luthor had a soft spot at one time.
