Glee -- Season Three

[boyhangover]

Blaine....Why is he still on here?

Because people love him.

Because people love him.

Used to when he was a Warbler....But transfering there though? Adding insult to injury.

I actually really enjoyed this episode. The music was for shit, but I'm not a big musical theatre guy anyways. I prefer them doing more modern musical.

That said, I thought there was a lot of little clever moments in this episode. Britt had some great lines, Artie was surprisingly hysterical, and for the first time in a long time, everyone actually feels like they have a real storyline. (Well most folks).

When Puck was doing a dramatic scene, it was almost shocking since it's been so long since he's done anything that resembled a natural plot. And the nice thing is that it all feels organic to the characters. Quinn would have issues over the adoption. Finn would be torn between artistic dreams and blue collar roots. Rachel would have trouble seeing the value of a blue collar lifestyle. Kurt would have trouble landing anything that approaches a traditionally masculine lead. It's good storytelling.

And it was also nice to see Mr. Schuester really standing up for himself this season after the sad sack he was last season. Him telling off Quinn actually had me cheering for him.

Yeah, storywise this was a very important episode. It's really setting the tone for the entire season as you're seeing the storylines being mapped out for practically the entire cast.

Musically it was probably my least favorite episode ever (not a show tunes guy either), and nothing super exciting or funny happened... but moreso than the first episode of the season, I think this really creates the foundation for the season with some very organic and logical storylines the rest of the season can build off of.

And it WAS nice to see Will tell off Quinn. I was frankly surprised he was as up in her face as he was... but honestly it was about time he stopped being Mr. Nice Guy floor matt around people.

Because people love him.

It's nice that they mention he's a junior too... so we're definately going to get a descent number of familiar faces for the new New Directions next season.

Shame Sam left. I was assuming they'd reveal he was a junior too.

And I thought the music was great. I am a musical fan and quite frankly Bernstein and Sondheim beat the shit out of anything Gaga or Pink can do. I thought that was one of the nicest versions of "Someplace" I have heard.
Hopefully Glee has introduced enough people to the great American songbook to keep it alive.

Not this tuesday but next Glee is being preempted by MLB. Boooo.

[Vivica Kang]

No words for this episode....But It's getting good but very surreal.

[boyhangover]

Yeah this was a really good episode. I wish they hadn't brought it back so early just to preempt it for a month for MLB. They should have either started it in the middle of August or waited till after baseball season was over to air it. Still Britany was amazing. Of course Mercedes was better and Rachel even said so to Finn. I liked fix me but there was a lot of people online saying that Will shouldn't have sang it.

I loved the focus on Mike Chang. I'd like to see him in a remake of Saturday Night Fever. His mom was hot. I need to look her up to see who played her. I loved the preview for the next part of the season where they are gonna have Mike O'Mally run against Sue. It's about damn time they gave him something to do.

Ew ew ew. Did Schuester really show Emma his porn stash?

Between this and the morning wood joke in the first episode, I'm gonna be sick.

It was a very well done episode, and it was nice to see Mike Chang get fleshed out a little bit. I was surprised by how well he pulled off the actual acting scenes.

Rachel spiraling out of control is par for course, but at least she's doing in a new way at this point.

Am I the only one who thinks she killed Mercedes in that song though? Her range is so much bigger, and there's way more maturity to Lea Michelle's voice than there is to Amber Riley's (not to take anything from her, she's a fantastic singer). They just needed to do that to move the plot along I guess.

I must have missed that scene.

I agree! I thought to myself "can he pull this acting off"? But he blew it out of the water. Rachel's downfall is finally in effect and it's flawless! I think they were both good. Unlike Kurt and Rachel who also did a sing-off and we knew he was going to slip up. It's hard to tell with Mercedes and Rachel. But Brittany,Santana, Quinn, and Tina's performance was freaking EPIC! (I just wish Santana sung it though).

I dunno what to say about Rachel running for president sounded kinda like a selfish thing to do...Heck even Kurt running is more like Rachel. I hope Brittany wins! I just cannot wait to see Mercedes's crew on that rival group though. it's gonna be excellent!

I'm actually hoping Brittany loses the election for two reasons.

A) I love her, but she's an idiot. It's one of her most humorous traits.

B) If she wins, it's because her campaign was "vote for me because I'm a girl?" How is that a good political message?

[Red Lotus]

Best part of last night was Brittany's song. I have watched twice since then. One thing I didn't like was Santana be late back in so soon. It would have been better if she wasn't let back at all and she joined the other Glee club first and asked Mercedes to join with her or she wasn't in a club yet and Mercedes comes to her and tells her she should join the new glee.

Let's me honest though... most high school elections are popularity contests. The coolest prettiest most popular pretty much always win those things by a landslide. I honestly think if the competition is Kurt and Rachel, Brit really would win.
