Sometimes this show is stupid and the musical numbers are far from the best I've ever heard or seen. But that usually just makes me laugh more.

I think my favorite musical number was "I got the Feeling in Me" in episode 2, that ended with the piano falling on her (Zoey).

I like the fact that this program has no intro that we have to sit through every week. It just gets going right from the start.

I'm on E9. Emily tells David that it's time to go to bed, but he doesn't realize that she's giving him "I want sex" hints. Emily starts singing The Pussycat Dolls' BUTTONS, meaning that Zoey "is meant to" help David open his eyes. What was the point of the song if Zoey already understood those hints from the start?

If I remember correctly, Emily sang in front of Zoey because Zoey can see other people's thoughts and feelings through song. That's how she first realized Emily wanted sex from her husband. And at first Zoey was hesitant to get involved because she felt the sex between her brother and his wife was none of her business. If I remember correctly.

Well, I think I remember Zoey saying she wanted to stay out of her brother's sex life. And being a little hesitant. So, maybe Emily singing to her, or around her, was just more incentive for her to get involved. If I have time, I'll go back and watch it again.

I'm on E10. Without getting into spoilers, everything starts falling apart. It felt like a season finale... but then things got fixed (for the most part) by the end. I give the show credit for not being following to more obvious path. Although... what will the actual season finale do?
Joan and Ava argue about where Max should work. They then sing Brandy and Monica's THE BOY IS MINE. Why is Zoey seeing this? They're not secret thoughts; they've already made their intentions clear. Also, Zoey seeing people singing and dancing is one thing; her seeing people grunting and making "Show me what you got!"-like noises is another.

They sing to express their innermost thoughts and feelings. Those thoughts and feelings are not typically expressed. Especially to an adversary. Joan and Ava are adversaries. One thing I noticed was when Max asked Zoey why nobody objected to him moving upstairs, she should have said, "Because we wanted what was best for you. Not because nobody cared about losing you."

This seems like a contrivance. If she had just said that, there wouldn't be any conflict. This is bad writing.
This is a common complaint for me about movies and TV shows. Fake contrived conflict. Nobody of normal intelligence would be in this predicament.
Nobody cares about stupid characters doing stupid things. And even more so, nobody finds fake contrived conflict interesting.

I'm on E11. During Joan's speech, she said "We're all in this together" and it seemed like a musical number was going to start. Did anyone else assume it was going to be the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL song?

I've finished the season... and I still don't fully understand the rules! The finale in particular has a bunch of moments where Zoey is listening to people sing their thoughts even though she already knows what they are. When Zoey kisses Max, it's clearly written like he's being caught off-guard, yet Skylar leans in when Jane approaches him.
Max sings when he's making out with Zoey. She can't feel the kisses? OK, I guess it makes sense, since the nervous system connected to the brain. However, she stops him twice by covering his mouth. Since we're only seeing what's in her head, I'm wondering what was going on in reality. I mean, she pulled back in order to cover his mouth? But, both times, his head was already far away from hers. And the second time, he was standing up.
The episode ends with everybody singing MISS AMERICAN PIE. The lyrics don't always match the context, but at least there was an attempt at tying certain verses to what certain characters were thinking. Also, the "oner" was impressive. By the way, there's an online petition to renew the show. Shouldn't something like that be created after the show has been cancelled?

I think the lean in for the kiss was a bad acting/directing choice not the script fault. But I too was annoyed somewhat by that. Funny how nitpicky we are after all no?

She has greater insight into other people's thoughts and feelings. We/she may suspect what other people are thinking and feeling. But we don't really know unless they tell us. And even then, they maybe lying. But she KNOWS what they are thinking and feeling, when they sing. They never lie when singing. They don't even know she can see that. (The real point is entertainment. Nobody in reality can see others singing their thoughts and feelings, when nobody else can. It's fictional make believe. Like "What if . . . ?")

Just watched episode 12 which I think is the season finale. For a show listed as a comedy, it sure ended on a downer note. I think the best singers were the men. Zoey's two boyfriends and even her father (the few songs he sung) were patently better than the songs the women sung. Zoey's boss and mother might be good actresses. But they're no singers or dancers. Even Zoey maybe cute as a button. But her song performances weren't that great. I guess her black neighbor is a good performer. But what category do you put him in? I still feel the writers were mostly women or gay men. The show was too talky. And the male characters (with the exception of the father) just came across as over sensitive and indecisive sissies. I'm a 61 year old man. The men I know and have known don't talk or act like that.

I finished season 2 and I unfortunately don't have much to say about any episode. Nothing really stood out (positively or negatively). Without spoiling anything, is it just me, or was the season finale written as a series finale? Every character got closure of some kind. Maybe they did that knowing that there's a big possibility of getting cancelled (since that's what almost happened last year). The downside of doing this is that, since every conflict got wrapped up, where can they take the story if they do get a 3rd season? Well, a certain element in the last scene was left open, but I don't think that's enough.
