Greek - Episode 6

Did tonight's episode even have a point? Where was the college-themed lesson we've grown to love and expect?

Maybe in two months I'd buy the creepy, Halloween-style show, but odds are even against that.

If it were midterms, tonight's episode would mean some serious extra credit for Greek's creators. It was like the Scooby gang (yes, Velma and Fred, not Buffy and Xander) trotted off to frat row.

But, I'll give ya the breakdown nonetheless ...

A storm came crashing onto campus, and SHOCK! the power fails, leaving our favorite coeds stranded with no entertainment but themselves.

In the dark, Casey, who was working feverishly to gain her sorority sisters' undying love so she can become leader of the pack, has to fight Rebecca's attempts to sabotage her slumber shindig. While the Zeta Beta girls fall for the old "a chica who died in our house is haunting us" gag, Casey takes the chance to turn the tables on her arch nemisis.

Meanwhile, at the Kappa Tau house, Cappie is stalked by a former fellow camper who just so happened to lose 80 pounds and ditch her fat jeans just so she could have her chance with the hearthrob of her dreams. I don't even think I can touch the faultiness of this plot.

At Omega Chi, Calvin and Evan are left alone to bond with each other over their love of horror movies -- and a fat rat.

The saving grace tonight was the one tidbit we learned -- Jen K was the video text bandit who let Casey in on Evan and Rebecca's hookup. Oh, and it despite the cheese factor, I still laughed. When Ashley comes in from the hurricane angry that Karaoke night was canned, I couldn't help but crack up.

Let's hope next week's plot, when Casey apparently makes some life-altering decision about her future with Evan, will earn some gold stars.

  • Online forum to talk about campus security -

    The day after holding a statewide conference on campus security, Gov. Tim Kaine's office announced the creation of a web site where "members of the Virginia college community," can discuss campus security.

    Go here for more information and to register to have access to the site.

    The governor's panel on the Virginia Tech shootings is expected to release a fairly thick report on the work it's done this summer in the next week or two and Tech's own internal review is also scheduled for completion soon.

    Security is one of many topics expected to be covered in those reports. This forum seems to be an attempt to keep the conversation fluid and share information more between universities.
