New episode today! WOOT ;D
I doubt it can top last week's episode though.. It was one of the best coming out episodes I've ever seen. It was just awesome.

GLEE and GREEK both suffer from 'small let down syndrome' after last week's amazing episodes. Still not bad, still way too little use of Kurt or Sue Sylvester. Shirtless Puck, however, always gets a high score.
I know this is supposed to be a fantasy, but is Lima High an abstinence only sex-ed school? Finn may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but you'd think he'd be just a little bit more suspicious about how exactly he was supposed to get Quinn pregnant. The internet does exist in this universe, since Rachel has been shown as one of the few people to maintain her MySpace page :-).

I actually liked this week's episode as much as last week's for Glee. Greek is another matter.  I wouldn't be surprised if it is abstinence-only, which I've always thought was stupid to teach high school kids, especially when studies have shown that schools that only teach that have higher rates of STDs and teen pregnancies. I loved Emma calling Will out on his behavior. Too bad she didn't do it a few episodes ago but it's like I've been saying for a while that he's selfish and self-absorbed when it comes to the glee club. I wasn't happy with Finn using Rachel's feelings for him to lure her back to glee club even though it's obvious he has feeligns for her too. Kurt's Bambi line was cute. |

Wow, last episode was AWESOME!
I really enjoyed Kristin, she has a lovely voice. The epi had some comedic gold, and the songs and the dance numbers were a step up from last week.
The part I liked most about the episode though was that ANNOYING Rachel FINALLY got it. It's not about her, it's about the group. Doing it together, not being the star all the damn time, to give someone else the spotlight too.

But how did Rachel learn that lesson when she saw Will give April the spotlight as well as create entire routines centered around April as the sole singer when he spent the previous episodes punishing Rachel for wanting those very things he freely gave April?  Not to mention giving April the DSB solo instead of Tina or Mercedes or another member after Rachel quit and Quinn sucked at it? I think Rachel gets too much flack and Will doesn't get enough considering his actions are just as self-absorbed. Then again, a loud, self-absorbed GIRL will always be hated on more than a passive-aggressive self-absorbed MAN who behaves dickishly toward one of his students without batting an eye. |

Uhm, that would be weird, cause his own mother didn't even know he was gay, but whatever, you might be right, I have no idea.. According to AfterElton this was the first interview he commented on the gay issue. Either you are wrong or AfterElton is, I have no idea. He is out now though, which is great!  |

Not only did I not feel sorry for Quinn at the end - cause karma's a bitch and she's had that slap coming for a while especially after the unnecessary nastiness to Rachel in the hallway - but I don't ever want to hear her do a solo again. "Keep me hanging on" was not only a terrible song choice considering Quinn's the one who is keeping Finn hanging on by lying to him but I thought her rendition was absolutely bland to the point of bad. Yikes. Ok episode overall, though I loved Sue's moments. JL was awesome. Didn't really care for most of the music in the episode outside of "Hate on me". Loved the dancing in the scene too. Hopefully more of the minorities next week.  Next week will be interesting. |

I loved the last episode!
The Schu/Sue confrontations were great. Sue is my favorite character, I adore her! lol.
I really liked all the songs too, they were awesome.
The things I didn't like about this episode: Too little Kurt, too much of Terri and the baby drama, too much of Quinn/Finn baby drama.

Overall, I also enjoyed this last episode, but........ the whole baby thing makes me froth at the mouth. Just how believable is the fake pregnancy. Are we really to believe that our hero never touches his wife's abdomen, not even to feel for heartbeat or movement. And.....that whole section about the OB/Gyn faking the ultrasound. God, my head turned on its axis and I vomited green bile. That would just NEVER happen. Can you imagine the ensuing law suit. Argh.

The show is off due to baseball playoffs and the World Series.
Here's the promo for what to expect when it comes back that aired after the last episode:

x-posting what I posted on TWOP about "Wheels":
Good episode. There were a lot of strong moments and I enjoyed all the musical numbers.
The scene with Sue & her sister? Well done. I knew about it going in but I still thought it was a nice way to play out why she treated Becky as she did. I continue to enjoy the scenes with Kurt as his father. His father still may not be totally comfortable but he loves his son and he is trying to be there for Kurt.
I wasn't impressed with the food fight between Quinn & Puck simply because the conversation that preceded it was Puck trying to help out Quinn, even it wasn't a lot of help, and her swearing to lie to her grave if she has to that the baby is Finn's. And this was also after whining about all the bills that have to be paid for a child that isn't even her boyfriend's. Scenes like that remind me why I don't like Quinn and why I think she's a selfish twat. I'd rather see him pursue someone else, anyone else, than a bitch he runs him down about what a failure he is every chance he tries to help her & be responsible. She apologized for the comments about him being a 'Lima Loser' but it's still empty lip service to me as long as she's determined to pass that baby off as Finn's. Why continue the charade at this point? I know there were a couple of folks who didn't want to see Puck with Rachel in the last episode because it would be like her dating her abuser. For me, it's the same with Quinn & Puck and also Quinn & Finn (I was glad he said something to her about how she always runs him down too with verbal attacks). Why do I want to watch her constantly tear either man down and have them fight over her when all she does is treat them bad & lie to them? That's not enjoyable to me and her hair being down doesn't give her a pass to suck hardcore like that and shrug my shoulders at her entitled behavior.
I see it was another 'dump on Rachel' episode where the other members of the club except for Finn are nasty to her just because. Ugh! I'm getting tired of those and the Rachel double standard. Before it was about Mr. Schu assigning parts and that was that. No one took umbridge except for Rachel freaking out over "Tonight, Tonight". It was why Rachel quit to do the play, but now because it's Rachel with the solo, it can be challenged. Folks are acting like she gets solos all the time. That's Finn. Mr. Schu has given Rachel two solos and the first one because his only other options were Quinn (yikes!) and Brittanty (who knows?) for "No Air". He's given solos/lead vocals to others in the club and very much before he gave any to Rachel, so what the fuck are the other members bitching about her getting a song when they all got solos/lead vocals to sing long before she did? I really do find the double standard tiring and stupid and worse, inexplicable. It makes them all seem like jackasses.
Oh, and Mr. Schu gave Mercedes most of the lead vocals of "Proud Mary" which makes me irritated at her comments earlier in the episode when Rachel got a solo and a more general WTF feeling due to the Rachel double standard of receiving Mr. Schu's nod on solos/lead vocals.
"Defying Gravity" was well done. CC can hit the notes for themost part but LM's Broadway skills definitely shined in that 'diva-off'. I was glad that Finn went over to wish Rachel luck while others either crowded around Kurt wishing him luck or ignoring both singers.
I did like the arrangement of "Dancing With Myself", though it reminded me of that version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by that Hawaiian/Polynesian artist.
Principal Figgins was on fire this episode. Love him! I also liked that Mr. Schu made them all do wheelchairs to see what it was like for Artie. I felt for Artie when Tina told him the truth about her stutter.

I really loved this episode. Felt a lot more grown up than what we've seen so far. Not that it wasn't good before (Far from it!), but in this episode the focus wasn't on just a few of the cast members, but most of them got their fair share. Which was a very nice change. I absolutely loved the scenes with Kurt and his dad. The man is obviously still not very comfortable with his son being gay, but he sure rocks as a dad. It's very clear that they both love each other very much and that's all that matters. It was about time that Tina and Artie got some attention as well. Now it's easier to get invested in all the characters. I thought it was great to have all the glee club members spend some time in a wheelchair so they would know how it would feel like. Well done! Quinn got two thumbs down from me this time. I didn't had a lot of sympathy before, but now it's all gone. I still think Finn is not the smartest guy around (Seriously! Who believes you can get pregnant without having some actual sex?  ), but he doesn't deserve to be treated this way. I was glad he said something about the verbal attacks, but I still thinks he is way too docile. I really can't see what Puck (or even Finn) sees in Quinn... Rachel isn't my favorite character, but I don't hate her. She's never boring; I'll give her that.  This time I actually felt a bit sorry for her; she really deserved that solo because it was perfect for her and I can imagine it must have felt a bit humiliating to have a sing-off. After she had already been given the part. Looking at it from Kurt's POV I totally understood it btw, so I didn't mind the sing-off (or Diva-off) itself. All the musical songs were great btw; loved them all! And the wheelchair routine was very nice; great way to recognise Artie as a full member of glee club. |
