...These clever, if rudimentary, Web destinations are dubbed "single-serving sites," and they range from marginally useful (IsItChristmas.com answers "No" 364 days a year) to handy (HowMuchIsAStamp.com) to the surprisingly interesting (HowManyPeopleAreInSpaceRightNow.com).

Well, now we know why Finn seemed so bubbly in the previews. Despite the excess enthusiasm, the number works. The mashup is clever, and the songs resonate with Finn’s need to reclaim control of his life. One of FlyBy’s ongoing concerns is Cory Monteith’s limited vocal range, but he sounds great here. We hope more of his future parts focus on vocal power rather than acrobatics. It’s nice to hear Artie featured again, too, and the energetic choreography makes the smoothest incorporation of the wheelchair we?...
