My Glist - The Rocky Horror Glee Show by GLG

Though I'm getting a bit weary of "Glee's" themed/tribute episodes, I must admit I was really looking forward to this episode, and I was delightfully entertained throughout. Seeing "Rocky Horror" in the theater is a coming of age rite of passage, and though I haven't seen the movie since the first Clinton administration, I found myself singing along to every song. Here is my Glist.

1) I jonesed for Rachel's adorable pink frock for the entire episode.

2) I'm so proud to see my girl Emma break out of her OCD by eating sandwiches with the crusts on them, seeing the "Rocky Horror Picture" show and embracing Halloween. Tears are in my eyes.

3) Brittany stole my Halloween costume. I was going to go as a peanut allergy.

4) I thought it was interesting to have Finn be worried about how his body looks. This is usually a girl's domain, but I know guys have anxiety about their looks, too.

5) Sue's Corner was made of win. And that's how GLG C's it!

6) Unitarian Chimp Wedding is the name of my new band.

7) So great to see Meatloaf and Barry Bostwick. And I think their characters used to work for Fox News.

8) Emma and Carl are so adorable together. And it was kind of funny to see Will get all uncomfortable. Suck it, Will.

9) Mercedes made a pretty fierce Frank-N-Furter, but Tim Curry owns that role!

10) Uncle Jesse DDS encased all in leather is the hotness, and the only time it is appropriate to say, "Drill, baby, drill."

11) Will's most redeeming feature-his abs.

12) Emma's "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" made me so proud of my fellow ginger. I've had that song in my head all day!

13) Okay, if Cory Monteith had posed for GQ in just his undies, I probably wouldn't have been so icked out by the layout.

14) Will's confession to Emma showed he might finally be gaining some self-awareness and maturity.

15) I actually got up and did the "Time Warp" myself. It's like riding a bike; you never forget.

1) I jonesed for Rachel's adorable pink frock for the entire episode.

Some of the girls on here have some really cute clothes. I liked the one outfit Emma was wearing during her scene where she sang to Will.

3) Brittany stole my Halloween costume. I was going to go as a peanut allergy.

Seriously, who doesn't love Brittany and her randomness?

5) Sue's Corner was made of win. And that's how GLG C's it!

Agreed, and am I the only one who thought that segment sounded remarkably similar to something you'd hear on "The Colbert Report" ? She's like a female Stephen!

11) Will's most redeeming feature-his abs.

12) Emma's "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" made me so proud of my fellow ginger. I've had that song in my head all day!

Hell, yes. On both counts. There are times I really want to be Emma, and last night's show was DEFINITELY one of those times. Shirtless Will...yeah, baby . On behalf of shy girls who long to break out of their shells like that, I salute you, Emma .

I kept alternating back and forth between having that song and "Time Warp" go through my head last night (and I loved their performance of "Time Warp", they looked like they were having a total blast performing it). I do agree, I think it definitely would help to have some familiarity with "Rocky Horror" beforehand-my sister's never seen it and barely knows a thing about it, so I don't think she quite "got" the tribute the way some would. I've only seen a small bit of the movie, but I have some general idea of what it's about.

Mercedes did quite nice with her performance, yes. Was kinda looking forward to seeing one of the guys dress like that, though...

13) Okay, if Cory Monteith had posed for GQ in just his undies, I probably wouldn't have been so icked out by the layout.

Haha, I'm sure there's many a girl who was happy about that-I know my sister would've been happy, she's got a crush on Finn. I was quite liking his sorta nerdy look he was sporting the whole show. He looks good with glasses.

My mom's always thought John Stamos was cute-she hasn't seen this week's episode yet, but I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it when my sister plays it back. Will be interesting to see just where else they'll take this battle between him and Will.

Mercedes as Frank was an abomination. Still not understanding why "transvestite" is fine for a lyric but not "transexual", especially when Finn was saying stuff like "faggy" in another episode.

The rest of the show however, was awesome.

 

[corianderstem]

Well, it's not like they had "faggy" in there to be "edgy" or something, they had it in there as a plot point, so Finn's dad could give him a (deserved) dressing-down.

I think it's realistic that stuff would be changed for a high school production of Rocky Horror, as they do for productions of Grease.

But I didn't watch it, so I don't know if there was a mention of the school wanting them to tone it down, or if there was no mention of it and we're just supposed to assume it's the network's doing.

My Glist-Never Been Kissed by GLG

Once again we have a "very special episode" of Glee. I usually like these episodes, and I was pretty entertained by this one. The mash-ups were loads of fun (personally, I preferred the boys). Puck is back and as awful as usual. He's either going to end up on death row or as the CEO of a multi-national corporation. Sue was her usual deliciously evil self. Will tried to be comforting and understanding, but he just made me cringe. And Shannon Bieste is becoming a very interesting character to me. Here is my Glist.

1) Poor Finn and Sam-blue balls is no fun.

2) Great, Bieste: The Boner Killer

3) One of the teams New Directions will be competing against at Sectionals is made-up of elderly folks studying for their GED? Does this mean we get Betty White as a guest star?

4) Yea, Will, Captain Obvious, bullying is getting to Kurt.

5) Katy Perry works my last never, but I loved the Dalton Academy Warblers' version of "Teenage Dream." And Darren Criss is so good-looking, like old-fashioned movie star handsome. No wondering Kurt is swooning over him.

6) I so want a confetti cannon.

7) So Karofsky is actually gay. I guess it's best that he come out now rather than inadvertently twenty years from now when he's a Republican congressman. Still, I'm tired of the meme that bullies are just self-hating homophobic jocks or insecure or have a troubled home life. Some people are bullies because they are fucking assholes. Sorry, I'm still bitter from high school.

8) Blaine and Kurt, squeee! Please make this happen! They'd be so cute at prom, and I hope at a Glee reunion show ten years from now, they are getting married and registered at Williams Sonoma.

9) Will pity kisses the Bieste. How generous of you, Will. You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Actually, I'd like to give you a Nobel Piece of my Mind. Before you can lecture the kids, you need to take a good look in the mirror. You've been rather creepy, self-serving and inconsiderate this season. But still, I'll kind of forgive you because you looked rather cute in your eyeglasses early on in the episode.

10) I missed Emma. I hope she and Carl are having lots of hot sex.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

2) Great, Bieste: The Boner Killer

LOL. Poor Bieste. I felt really bad for her. But I love the way the guys made it up to her at the end of the show (though, in regards to the kids' performances, one question: when the girls were performing their mash-up, I'd like to know exactly where they managed to get all the fancy lighting and such that they had behind them? And I can't see the high schools I went to allowing the girls to dance or dress the way they did. But meh, it's TV, not reality, so...).

3) One of the teams New Directions will be competing against at Sectionals is made-up of elderly folks studying for their GED? Does this mean we get Betty White as a guest star?

Didn't even consider that. Would not surprise me at all.

I look forward to seeing them go up against that group. That should be interesting.

5) Katy Perry works my last never, but I loved the Dalton Academy Warblers' version of "Teenage Dream." And Darren Criss is so good-looking, like old-fashioned movie star handsome. No wondering Kurt is swooning over him.

Absolutely. Officially the best version of that song I've heard (and the Glee guys' mash-up was definitely my favorite over the girls').

I too am totally rooting for Kurt and his new friend to become a couple. For a moment I was thinking Kurt was going to consider changing schools, but I'm glad he's not (he can't, really, as they stated). I like the idea of the kids at that school bolstering him and trying to help him through all the crap he's taking at school (poor kid. How far in advance are these shows taped, 'cause this one seemed quite timely in light of the recent stories about the suicides of gay kids and such).

Speaking of which...

7) So Karofsky is actually gay. I guess it's best that he come out now rather than inadvertently twenty years from now when he's a Republican congressman. Still, I'm tired of the meme that bullies are just self-hating homophobic jocks or insecure or have a troubled home life. Some people are bullies because they are fucking assholes. Sorry, I'm still bitter from high school.

...that kiss surprised the heck out of my family and me. Was not expecting that. I was more than willing to believe he did it just because he was a jerk who couldn't handle the things Kurt was talking about. But that's an unusual development, to say the least-wonder where they'll go with it. You do raise a good point, though, about why people are bullies.

And I LOVED the Republican congressman line .

My sister was also weirded out by the Schuester/Bieste kiss. Meh. Didn't bother me any, but...*Shrugs*. Fair point regardless.

[Golightly Grrl]

One thing that struck while watching Glee last night was the absolute horror on Kurt's face when Karfosky kissed him. Karofsky has done nothing but terrorize Kurt and he was the one who gave Kurt his first boy-on-boy kiss. The horror! It was assault. It's as if the most misogynist, woman-hating bully gave me my first kiss. I wouldn't be thrilled no matter how desperate I am to be kissed. I'd be disgusted and violated.

Anyway, I hope Darren Criss is made a full cast member. I think he's talented, charming and way good looking. And the way Kurt looked at Blaine while he sang "Teenage Dream" was so heartfelt. You just knew it was love at first sight. Chris Colfer is an amazing actor.

ETA: Here is a post I wrote at my blog on the songs the Glee cast should sing if Glee was on cable. Enjoy!

Fully agreed on this. I wouldn't want my first kiss to come from a guy who kept shoving me into my locker and knocking my stuff out of my hands and generally being a pain in my ass, either. I know sometimes people lash out with teasing and stuff like that to hide their feelings for someone, but there's a line. I hope things get sorted out between those two, but, yeah, I get the feeling Kurt ain't exactly looking to ask him out anytime soon.

Anyway, I hope Darren Criss is made a full cast member. I think he's talented, charming and way good looking. And the way Kurt looked at Blaine while he sang "Teenage Dream" was so heartfelt. You just knew it was love at first sight. Chris Colfer is an amazing actor.

He really is, yes. I'm loving the storylines with his character this season, he seems to know just how to bring the right emotion to each situation. I feel for him with every single thing he's going through.

That "Teenage Dream" scene was practically out of a movie. I half expected hearts and little animated birds to pop up all of a sudden or something . I look very forward to seeing where they'll take this whole thing between those two guys.

(My sister did make an interesting point today, though-when Rachel dated someone from the competition, she got hell for it. Conflict of interest, and all that. Will Kurt face the same dilemma?)

I love your song suggestions for the cable version of "Glee", even though I don't actually know most of them . They seem perfect for the respective characters. If "Glee" were on cable, it'd definitely be a LOT darker and MUCH more subversive (and Will and Emma probably would've slept together a long time ago already. While he was still married, no less).

So Gwenyth is going to sing the clean version of the Cee-Lo song, eh? Interesting (she apparently is starting up a country music career, too, I guess. Will reserve judgment until I actually hear her sing, though). I'm with you, though, I'd love to hear Will's version of "Fuck You". That'd be hilarious.

Keep up the excellent, entertaining commentary! I always love hearing your thoughts on this stuff .

[misfit toys]

Watch. NOW Terry will get pregnant.

 

[catlhere]

I'm getting bored of every other episode being about Kurt or Mr. S.

Also, LOL@ Kurt giving Mercedes advice on having "self respect" when he has done nothing but allow himself to be a crying victim this entire season. His whole storyline is becoming too one-note. (so are some of the others)

 

[Thora]

I'm thisclose to breaking up with this show. I don't think Gwyneth can sing to save her life, and what's up with her and Mr Shue getting to sing so much this week? Isn't it called Glee? Shut the hell up and let the kids be featured in the songs!

It's just not funny, and I'm so bored. Last night I ended up reading and doing other things while watching, as the episode was annoying and wasn't keeping my interest. It had such great potential, but it's really gone down the crapper lately.

I LOVED the version of Teenage Dreams from last week, though. That was amazing. Those glimmers of fantastic songs are what keep me watching in the hopes that the storyline will improve, but I don't know if that's enough any more.

 

[corianderstem]

I finally broke down and watched that Teenage Dream clip from last week - it was everything I'd heard it would be. So fantastic!

I like the idea of seeing the clips of the songs I want to see online and ignoring everything else.

I watched Gwynnie singing modified Cee-Lo a few days ago, and I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Watch. NOW Terry will get pregnant.

Didn't even consider that. Wouldn't surprise me, though.

I liked the "Umbrella/Singin' In The Rain" mashup last night. That was pretty good (though, weren't they performing it at the school? Where the hell'd they get the water effects and such?). And I didn't mind Gwenyth's singing, either, but eh *Shrugs* (I did like the constant poking fun at always finding Journey songs to sing. That was cute).

Judging from the previews, it sounds like a lot of your pleas aren't going to be heard anytime soon, at least. My sister's biggest complaint about this season is that she's not too happy with what they've done with some of the characters, some of the inconsistency in their storylines and personalities (i.e., Rachel's always been a pushy starlet, but this season she sends a girl who may be competition to a crack house? Finn suddenly cares too much about being popular. Quinn's falling back into some of her old pre-baby habits/attitudes. Etc., etc.). I myself enjoy the show on a casual level, so none of this really bothers me all that much, but some valid points made nonetheless.

[Golightly Grrl]

Though I'm looking forward to seeing Carol Burnett as Sue's mom on Glee, I am getting a bit sick of the clusterfuck of guest stars. Glee has a talented cast, and I wish the writers would focus more on developing the characters and their stories rather than bringing in the guest star du jour.

That being said, I thought Gwyneth did a good job (and I'm hardly the biggest fan of the Paltrow). And it was good seeing Glee be silly and fun after some rather somber "After School Special" episodes.

Here is my Glist.

The Substitute-by GLG

1) Scarier words than Principal Sue? President Palin.

2) Said in a Veruca Salt voice: "Daddy, I want a little Gleek! I want a little Gleek right now!"

3) Of course, Mercedes would protest the lack of tater tots in the cafeteria (what are you? A Duggar?) because all chubby girls obsess over food. Still, I laughed when Mercedes went all Norma Rae and held up the "Tots" sign. Hmm, I wonder if "Tots" signs will be seen at tea party rallies. I can't imagine teabaggers holding signs saying "Au Gratin Potatoes." Au gratin potatoes are French and socialist, and maybe even Muslim.

4) I adored the swing version of "Conjunction Junction." Can we get a swing version of "I'm Just a Bill?"

5) The cleaned up version of "Fuck You," "Forget You" kind of falls flat without the profanity. But this is network TV, and you can't cuss on network TV. Well, you can if your name is Bono or Joe Biden. And you just had to love Gwyneth's dorky white girl dancing. The robot? Hee!

6) I'm so glad Mike Chang joined Will for "Make'em Laugh." Harry Shum Jr's rubbery dance moves were made for that routine. This was so much fun and the only way you could make it better is to have Harry and Matthew shirtless.

7) Will's love of Journey is more irritating than Randy Jackson's.

8) I just knew Will and Terry would end up doing the horizontal sweaty. I wouldn't be surprised if Terry ends up pregnant. She's conniving enough to "trick" Will, and Will is too stupid to wrap his willie. I think these two crazy kids are meant for each other. Emma is too good for Will

9) Of course Kurt thinks Mercedes will have so much in common with her potential hook-up because they're both black. Still, I'm glad he didn't try to hook her up with that douchebag Azimio. And that football player is hot! Mercedes deserves some good lovin'.

10) Is Breadstix the only restaurant in Lima, Ohio? Kurt and Blaine are all kinds of adorable but I could understand why Mercedes was irritated. It's not fun being a third wheel.

11) Holly Holiday? Porn star or drag queen? Terry, I was thinking the same thing. And despite her craziness, I think Will was a total jerk for revealing her shit in front of Holly. Keep that stuff private, Will. And get therapy!

12) Karofsky scares the living shit out of me. He's a menace, and I'm afraid he's going to do something horrible to Kurt.

13) Why am I not surprised Brittany needed to learn the second half of the alphabet?

14) Sadly, "Umbrella/Singing in the Rain" was just kind of meh to me. Gene Kelly must have been rolling in his grave. Then again, Gene Kelly did the movie Xanadu so what do I know?

15) There were moments that offended me, and I'm hardly a humorless pearl clutcher. I thought the Spanish lesson calling Lindsey Lohan crazy and talking about how many times she's been to rehab was a cheap shot. "Practice your biplar rants" was not funny at all. And calling Cameo "a more attractive Biggie Smalls" was unnecessary.

16) I've come the conclusion that Glee needs female writers. Certainly there is a fledgling Tina Fey or Mindy Kaling who needs the work.

Yeah. This. On both counts .

12) Karofsky scares the living shit out of me. He's a menace, and I'm afraid he's going to do something horrible to Kurt.

No kidding. That threat sounded disturbingly real, I actually gasped a bit when he said that to Kurt. Kurt looked truly terrified, and who could blame him? You almost don't really want to know what could happen next with those two.

Missed the Cameo line, but yeah, the Lohan stuff was...random. And strange. Didn't offend me like it did you, but it was out of place, definitely.

16) I've come the conclusion that Glee needs female writers. Certainly there is a fledgling Tina Fey or Mindy Kaling who needs the work.

Intriguing idea. Maybe you should take up the job . I'd love to see the results of your consulting with those who work on the show.

[Golightly Grrl]

Thanks for you comments. I've never done any screenwriting, but I could definitely consult the writers on how to write more fleshed-out female characters. For the past few eps, I've been thinking about Quinn. This is a girl who in the past year got pregnant, lost her status as a Cheerio, had her parents kick her out of the house and then gave a baby up for adoption. You know she's got some inner turmoil, yet she's been treated like wallpaper this season. Let her have a meaty episode. It can't always be "Kurt Hummel's Hour of Power" or "Will Schuester has a lot of issues."

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I've mentioned that numerous times in this thread.

The writers need to give Quinn something more than just "sit in the back and look (really, really) pretty."

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Maybe the girl who plays Quinn can't have more of a storyline because Lea Michele has to be the female lead at all times. She does have a reputation of being a diva, there must be some fire in all the smoke of the stories about her.

The backup singing on Teenage Dream was done by The Beelzebubs from Tufts University. If anyone watched that Sing Off show last year (hosted by Nick Lachey) that's coming back on next month- they almost won it and they should have, they're awesome.

 

[Lila64]

I was thinking the same thing about Quinn's character. You rarely see her in the musical sequences either. And in the Singing in the Rain sequence, you really didn't see the faces of any of the students, just Will & Holly. And the reality of something like that happening in a glee club? ZERO (the dancing in the rain,...)

Didn't care for the duet of Gwyneth & Lea. Actually it was alright, I just didn't care for Gwyneth and her 'dancing'. I liked Gwyneth's "Forget You". The song is so peppy, how can you not like it!

I think GG should submit something to Fox. They could surely use you!

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

I'm getting so sick of Mr. Schuester. Even when he's home sick he STILL takes up the episode with his issues!

 

[Golightly Grrl]

I have to admit I was really looking forward to this episode because Carol Burnett is a comedic legend, but I really didn’t care for this episode at all. I don’t know if it was the writing or Ms. Burnett’s delivery, but the Doris and Sue Sylvester scenes felt tacked on and didn’t quite work. And as much as I like Kurt Hummel and think Chris Colfer is an amazing talent, I’m getting a bit weary of the “Kurt Hummel Hour of Power” episodes. My inner feminist weeps for the glee girls because they’ve been relegated to just girlfriend status and aren’t getting anything meaty to work with. And outside of the show, I just couldn’t get into the songs and I don’t care to download them. Here is my glist.

My Glist by GLG-"Furt"

1) Burt n' Carol 4-evah!

2) I thought Sue marrying herself was pathetic and desperate but I loved her tracksuit wedding dress and sue postage stamps.

3) Okay, I did guffaw over one line: When Kurt mentioned his Power Rangers married and divorced more times than Fleetwood Mac.

4) When I first read that Carol and Jane were going to sing the song "Ohio" I thought what does the CSNY song about the Kent State shootings have to do with glee club? Oh, a different "Ohio" song.

5) Kurt and his dad can't bond through hunting, fishing or sports so they bond through a wedding dance seminar.

6) Though I wasn't crazy about this episode I was charmed by Burt and Carol's wedding. It was very warm and joyous. I loved the glee kids singing and dancing down the aisle (get a load of Artie twirling those ribbons). Burt and Carol's vows were heartfelt, and I appreciated them including their sons. And the priest who married them was hot.

7) Finn + Kurt=Furt. How about Kinn because it actually reflects who Finn and Kurt actually are, kin. And it was so cute how they danced together. But get a load of the smarmy lounge lizard who sang "Sway." Tee hee.

8) Karofsky continues to scare the shit out of me, and I'm glad Glee is addressing the issue of bullying. I also thought it was interesting that instead of standing up for his kid, Karofsky's dad actually questioned his behavior. I also thought this would have been an excellent time to bring in Emma to counsel Karofsky and maybe recommend a fitting therapist to address his issues. But no, Emma is a woman so she only counts when it comes to Will or Uncle Jesse DDS.

9) But I was really happy how the glee guys stood up for Kurt and were totally ready to go to war on Karofsky. Where were these guys when I was being bullied or when I got mugged several years ago?

10) So once again, Glee plays musical chairs with the glee kids, and Kurt is off to Dalton Academy. I wonder how this will play out. And don't forget sectionals is next week, and we know how hard the glee kids and Mr. Schue have been preparing for sectionals (huge eye rolling on my part).

 

[catlhere]

Is the next episode going to be about Kurt too?

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

4) When I first read that Carol and Jane were going to sing the song "Ohio" I thought what does the CSNY song about the Kent State shootings have to do with glee club? Oh, a different "Ohio" song.

I also thought this would have been an excellent time to bring in Emma to counsel Karofsky and maybe recommend a fitting therapist to address his issues. But no, Emma is a woman so she only counts when it comes to Will or Uncle Jesse DDS.

I thought the same thing about "Ohio." lol

I am okay with the bullying storeline too but I have to wonder how it was okay for everyone to be nasty to Rachel last season.

Is the next episode going to be about Kurt too?

Agreed. Although Darren Criss is eye candy.

I really disliked the Gwyneth episode. Her character was so annoying. I hate teachers that want to be "cool" and friends with their students. That's how you end up on the 10 o'clock news. Are you listening Schuester?

 

[Golightly Grrl]

Last season's episode devoted to Sectionals left me floating on air. This season's was just wasn't quite there, and left me feeling a bit empty inside. However, I am grateful for the lack of guest stars and a non-tribute/themed episode. Here is my glist.

Special Education by GLG

1) Yay! My girl Emma is back, and totally spot-on on how Mr. Schue divvies things up with the Glee kids-Finchel sing the ballad, Mercedes hits the power notes, etc. And giving Emma tickets to the hottest show in town-Sectionals-because she's a "good luck charm" is such BS, Will. It's because you want to get into her pants.

2) Damn, those guys in the Dalton Warblers are fine. Why weren't guys this fine at my high school? Oh, yes, because I went to high school with a bunch of rednecks.

3) The truth is out. Santana and Finn slept together. Hell, I'd sleep with Santana. She is hot. And Rachel was with Jesse at the time so it's not like Finn cheated on Rachel. Or in the wise words of Ross Geller from "Friends," "We were on a break!"

4) I'm a bit worried about an article I wrote for a new publication. Will Artie give me a magic comb so I feel more confident?

5) "Refudiate" is not a word but "ambadassador" should be. Very clever, Puck.

6) Of course, the show makes temporary New Directions member, Lauren, another big girl with food issues. Fuck you, "Glee."

7) Not happy with the changes, Rachel protests by taping her mouth shut (yeah, like that would ever keep her from talking). Rachel, this is show choir. It's not Tiananmen Square. Brittany, "I think Tiananmen Square is the new dance club next to Breadstix."

8) Lipsmackers are candy for you lips, especially the Dr. Pepper lipsmacker.

9) Kurt and Rachel's "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" was amazing. And I thought their exchanges with each other were sweet.

10) The best part of last night's episode? Emma's Kate Spade coat.
studio mona coat at kate spade

11) When I first saw the Hipsters I thought it was the New Directions-the AARP years.

12) Wow, the Dalton Warblers actually made me like a Train song. It's an early Christmas miracle.

13) Though Sam and Quinn are kind of a bland couple, their rendition of "I Had the Time of My Life" reminded me that Jennifer Grey beat Barstool Palin on "Dancing With the Stars." Thanks, kids.

14) Santana was all kinds of sexy singing "Valerie" and I loved her hat. And I loved Brittany and Mike's dancing.

15) Having the Warblers and the New Directions tie was rather contrived but got to keep the rivalry going for regionals I guess.

16) I'm glad Brittany finally knows the meaning of "adultery." And I think she and Artie are so adorable together.

17) In more contrivance, Emma marries Uncle Jesse DDS in a quickie Vegas wedding. But will it be a happy union? Hmm, the look on Emma's face after she kisses her new hubby isn't exactly filled with joy? Foreshadowing?

18) Where the hell was Sue? Hiding her dead mother's body?

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

And giving Emma tickets to the hottest show in town-Sectionals-because she's a "good luck charm" is such BS, Will. It's because you want to get into her pants.

*Snickers* I didn't put it like that in my head, but my thoughts were similar to yours nonetheless.

2) Damn, those guys in the Dalton Warblers are fine. Why weren't guys this fine at my high school? Oh, yes, because I went to high school with a bunch of rednecks.

They really kind of are, yeah. And I liked their version of the Train song, too (which happens to be the lone Train song I've ever actually liked, before its radio overkill). They seem to know how to make irritating songs much more palatable.

I also thought the same thing about the Finn/Rachel fight-if they weren't together, why exactly does she care? Sure, Santana's one of the popular girls whereas Rachel is not, but still...he didn't stick around with Santana long, and he's perfectly happy with Rachel now. Sounds like the problem's solved to me.

Then again, Rachel was in a really pissy mood throughout the show anyway, so naturally her thinking's going to be irrational.

11) When I first saw the Hipsters I thought it was the New Directions-the AARP years.

13) Though Sam and Quinn are kind of a bland couple, their rendition of "I Had the Time of My Life" reminded me that Jennifer Grey beat Barstool Palin on "Dancing With the Stars." Thanks, kids.

. Well said.

And I know everyone's thoughts about Will this season and everything, but I still felt bad for him at the end, with Emma. How's that little issue going to be resolved, I wonder?

Who sings that "Valerie" song, by the way?

Angela

I wish they wouldn't write Rachel as the 2nd most unlikable character after Sue every week. It seems like every other role on the show has something other than their voice that makes them appealing or worth caring about. Holy crap even Brittany came off as kind-hearted and halfway normal this week. But the writers paint Rachel as one of the most horrible high school students ever, whos only good quality is her singing.

Seriously, last season they made her mostly just a diva, who was sometimes annoying, but for the most part insecure about losing the one thing she stood out from the rest of the pack for. Usually she always redeemed herself and the Glee club tolerated her. This season though, they have turned her into an whiny, controlling, vindictive, hypocritical beyotch. No one seems to enjoy her company anymore, and everyone is always ganging up on her besides Finn (and there goes that). Plus the one episode where she finally looks like she has a heart when she is bonding with Kurt, a few scenes later and they set her back again with the whole cheating plot. I feel like they have to compensate for her voice being the strongest by writing her as massively obnoxious and unpleasant.

Who sings that "Valerie" song, by the way?

The Zutons. It was a much bigger hit in the UK than it was over here in the States, so I thought that was a very cool, kinda unexpected choice for the producers to make as the closing song in the big Sectionals performance.

Can anyone explain to me why they had the elderly choir in the sectionals? Have they been on before? Why would they be in a HS competition? I know the show is not realistic in any way shape or form but I still want to know.

I thought maybe the writers were taking a not so subtle shot at Lea Michele there with the whole she doesn't get a solo and she flips out thing.

Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson have a great cover of that song, on Ronson's "Versions" album.

They go to a special high school for people who had dropped out but returned to get their diplomas as senior citizens.
