Official Glee Love Thread (Part 2) — Page 11

I love how Kurt blows off Mercedes repeatedly and then blames her own insecurity for being upset. No, Kurt, she is not making you into a boyfriend substitute, she just expects you to be a decent friend who won't completely abandon her because you found a cute boy.

"I open my mouth & a little purse falls out!"

"I love how Kurt blows off Mercedes repeatedly and then blames her own insecurity for being upset. No, Kurt, she is not making you into a boyfriend substitute, she just expects you to be a decent friend who won't completely abandon her because you found a cute boy."

Haha yeah, he did have a point about the food stuff, but the other stuff... he was mostly just being a lousy friend.

But, you know, that's a VERY common thing for people to do when they've been lonely and then they meet someone they really like. Not saying it's nice, and I do hope they have him come around and stop blowing her off like that (I'm hopeful it'll happen- he's always been pretty good about realizing when he's been a bad friend to Mercedes and apologizing). But it's definitely a pretty natural reaction for people to meet someone they really like and get wrapped up in it and end up blowing their friends off in the process.

Besides, Mercedes has had moments of not exactly being the greatest friend either (I'm sure she meant well with the Grilled Cheesus and stuff, but pushing religion/prayer on him was so NOT what he needed- all she had to come up with SOME other way of being there for him, and yet he was the one who ended up coming around)

But yeah, I do hope he realizes how much he's been leaving her in the dust, and apologizes. I'll be angry with the writers if they just have him completely leave her behind for good! I like to think he's been shown to be a better person than that :)



Aaanywho, I really liked this episode! It was SO funny- hardest I've laughed watching Glee in such a long time!

The dinner scene with Kurt/Blaine/Mercedes omgggg so hilarious! XD XD If I'd been Chris, Darren, and Amber I would have had the HARDEST time keeping a straight face while filming that hahahaa

And Gwyneth was actually super cute and fun! I wasn't expecting to really feel much about her either way, but I kind of loved her. I wouldn't even mind if she came back fairly regularly (albeit in small doses)! I think Holly and Will would make amazing co-directors of glee, since Will really does tend to not listen to the kids enough, but he's good with the more serious stuff, and Holly would make sure everything stays fun and fresh.

Oh and it's funny because a lot of people seem to think that this episode didn't have much plot, but I actually felt it moved the plot along quite nicely... they're finally dealing with some of that left over Will/Terri stuff that was never really resolved, and those two Karofsky exchanges happened quickly but were hella loaded (seriously, the guy is getting downright frightening. And to not only force a completely unwanted kiss on Kurt, but then essentially taunt him about it afterward? *shudders*).

A couple of the plot lines were just unnecessary- namely Mercedes being so hung up on tater tots... really now? They couldn't have just let the story be about her and Kurt, and her being upset that Kurt was blowing her off for Blaine?

But over all I still feel like there was a pretty good amount of solid plot points- certainly as much as there had been in, say, Acafellas or Rhodes Not Taken of last season :)

So looking at the songs selected for their Christmas show, I couldn't help but think, why aren't the girls singing, "All I Want for Christmas is You." I think it be fun and the girls could show off their voices. But it might be because they couldn't get the rights to the song.

As for last night's show, I was mixed about it. I enjoyed Gywneth for the most part, but I didn't like the whole tater tot storyline and how they are making Kurt and even Blaine the most stereotypical gay characters ever.

And they released info about the Superbowl episode:

Entertainment Weekly reports that the show will perform the late King of Pop's classic "Thriller" in the highly anticipated post-Super Bowl episode. To "Glee" it up, it will be mashed-up with another song (which has been chosen yet). Sources are saying the episode "will be the most expensive in "Glee" history and likely one of television's priciest episodes ever."

The episode will keep with the sports theme and focus on the football team's championship game and the cheerleading regionals. The "Thriller" mash-up will be reportedly occur during halftime of the championship game. We're guessing it's going to be a bigger and better version of the football team performing Beyonce's "Single Ladies" early in Season 1. The gang will also tackle tracks by Katy Perry, Lady Antebellum and the Black Eyed Peas in the episode.

Though there were reports that the Super Bowl episode would be another tribute a la Britney and Madonna, this will not be a MJ tribute. The only person who was considered for a tribute episode was Sir Elton John. Fans can expect a John tribute episode in the back nine. "Tiny Dancer" cover or bust!

I actually kind of liked last week's episode.

I loved Gwyneth. Really loved her.

The scene when Mercedes was zoning out during Kurt and Blaine's conversation was laugh-out-loud funny.

Thought the musical numbers were upbeat - and I loved the 'Singing in the Rain' finale!

I agree with snl89 - I think this week had a storyline that, for the most part, worked.

This is barely a Christmas song but I would love to see Brittany (and to a lesser extent Santana) take on "Turkey Lurkey Time". I really cannot think of a better showcase for her.

Sorry but this show is getting worse. It's devolved into soap opera. I'm sick of the Kurt storyline. Every scene has him in tears. "Oh poor me, won't someone rescue me from the hell I have to live with."

The writing is still very heavy handed with Finn. He's supposed to protect Kurt but Kurt won't take action himself?

Carol Burnett was great as usual. Wish they had written some funnier material for her. But her song with Sue was nice. I'd love to see her back again.

I love how they use Becky. Last night she was sitting at the desk with her feet propped up. Hilarious.

The wedding number down the aisle was well done. But then they got to the actual wedding, it was so poorly written. This big fanfare entrance and then no dialogue substance.

The party after the wedding stank. I've never seen such a dull segment, both music and dialogue.

Dot Jones needs to say "See ya later" to this show. She really is better than the one-off scenes they give her.

Glee is still best when they have great music/dance combinations. But last night didn't have great material.

We think the crazy football player is the one who will end up dating Kurt - and Blaine will just end up being his 'girlfriend'.

What is it about this show that makes people who hate it watch week after week after week? You don't like it? TURN IT OFF!

Some bitches just gotta bitch.

lol Danmag. I was actually worried he was going to crash it but not in the realm as a Dynasty Moldavian wedding massacre kind of way.

I would be very upset if Karofsky and Kurt ever went anywhere beyond being tepidly platonic. Ryan Murphy in this episode really pressed the pedal more on how creepy and disturbing the bullying had become. It would be too icky but maybe Karofsky will have some kind of redemption, but it should not be dating Kurt.

I liked the episode even if it seemed like a lot of it was crammed and rushed (plus I have never heard a Bruno Mars song before, so I guess a feather in their cap that I was still entertained). Carol Burnett as Sue's mother did not disappoint. I like the fact the episode did not end on a ballad but on something of a sour note.

I will say, in keeping track of the relationships on this show, much like Kurt's power rangers collection, New Directions is the Fleetwood Mac of glee clubs.

Maybe 'date' isn't the word I'm looking for . . .
