The Bird Scene

I thought this episode was a lot of fun, with some actually good, laugh out loud funny moments.

Victoria Justice is clearly working her rear end off to make some of the material work, but ends up being upstaged by Ariana Grande (theme of the show in general anyone?) who seems very self-assured with much less screen time and material.

It's all good stuff, but the constant device with the phone to mark scene changes gets a bit old very quickly.

Overall, for a kiddie sitcom this ends up being much better than expected, with the cast all having good chemistry and there being some nice lines dotted around.

Trivia
They used a new puppet for Rex then they did in the pilot.

Goofs
After Tori's 2nd attempt at the bird scene, where she gets the backdrop and plastic bird, she goes to Cat for help. before, when it does the bit of music and the zoom of the school, you can clearly see that Tori's locker is decorated, though after her encounter with Cat, Beck comes to her locker, where Tori's Locker only has the stripe. In the Cat encounter it has the whole "Make it shine" decoration.

Quotes
[Repeated line, when Tori performs the Bird Scene]
Tori Vega: It was 1934 when my husband left me... alone. Living on the prairie was a dreary existence. No telephone, no radio, only a large majestic bird with whom I shared my feelings. One day when I was feeling low, I said to him, "Oh, bird. You can fly. You can soar miles from this lonley place, and yet you stay. Why?" And apparently, that question rang true, for that afternoon my bird left. And so went my spirit.
