Yeah, it was definitely not a favorite of mine. I still think the one with Kurt's dad was weirder though. Favorite part of last night's episode was Brittany and her knowledge on cat diseases. That made me laugh.

I was never into Holly and Will together (aside from Rachel and Finn this is the couple I am so over) when they could have just played her as the 'cool substitute' with her wacky appearances every now and then. It just creates a weak reopening for Will and Emma but at least crazy Terri's back.

Really loved Mercedes' song. Charice is a good singer but actor.... eh. Loved that Santana had a moment with Kurt and Blaine. This episode definitely lacked focus but I wished next to the Mercedes storyline which was good there was a little less Will.

I missed Sandy Ryerson so much. I wished they used his drug dealing philanthropy as the reason why the Glee club has such high production standards earlier on than they did.

I also share the same concerns with Tink of Kurt returning. Maybe just make it a financial reason but then he looked so happy returning in the clips.

As far as the return from hiatus, I definitely felt like my expectations could not match whatever kind of episode this would be. I did know that part of the lengthened hiatus was because that the 'Born This Way' episode was extended in 90 minutes of airtime and there was re-shooting done and they did not want a gap between consecutive episodes, so there was that.

And as far as Mr. Max Adler: RAWR!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for the scenes with Santana giving it to Karofsky and Rachel talking to Mercedes in her car, I would have enjoyed not a single bit of this episode.

I love the "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty" mash-up!

Thoughts on the 90 Minute "Born This Way"?

I enjoyed it much more than I did last week. Wasn't thrilled with the whole "Lucy Caboosey" reveal. Wasn't totally disappointed with they way they brought Kurt back.

Best part - Puck's "I'm with Stoopid" shirt.

Definitely was an improvement over last week if only because of every line Santana said this episode.

I will say some of the t-shirts choices were puzzling, and by that I mean no hair reference by Mr. Schuester. Disappointed.

I will say one of my qualms in this episode and a few examples in earlier episodes are when there the seventh circle of hell boiler room sessions where the kids just fire off on each other feels like Schuester has no reason to be there because seriously, he jumps in long after the bombs explode. Last night was a perfect example.

They need to send Chris Colfer to an acting school. He's using that scrunched up crying face way too much. Why is he crying when he says "goodbye" to Blaine? He only lives across town. All the crying makes the character look mentally unstable.

I don't think the t-shirt idea played out that well. Wasn't it supposed to be weaknesses? Why did Mercedes shirt say "No Weave" and why did Kurt's say "Likes Boys"?

The Barbra number was a big waste of time. It's like they wrote themselves into a corner and then just decided "Oh we'll solve this with a fantasy dance number."

The whole Quinn backstory was stupid. And with them trying to prepare for Nationals why do they spend so much time letting Rachel talk about a nosejob?

The t-shirt was a mixed message and has a lot of people confused. But I don't know if it was supposed to be something they thought as a weakness or if it was supposed to be something generally thought of as "flawed" about themselves that defines them and makes them them. I have to rewatch the beginning. (like emma in the beginning about being a Ginger - it's who she is and she's "proud").

The Barbra number was unnecessary (I actually dont like the song) but it was fun and cute to see them all carefree dancing.

"^^^ My tv only gets one network: Fox

We know that, Goth. Does your TV not have an on-off or mute button? Surely you can come up with a better excuse than that? Is your computer not capable of streaming video from another source? I bet you could find something else to watch...for that hour or 90 minutes that Glee is on..if you really...really...wanted to.

You love GLEE. COME OUT Goth...you'll feel so much better about yourself...once you admit you're a flaming GLEEK. You can try, but you can't stay in the closet forever.

Better episode then last week's but that isn't really saying much. Again, I loved Quinn and Rachel's mash up and thought the best parts were those that involved Santana. HATED the mall/flash mob scene, I agree it was a waste of time.

JAG, it's like when you see a traffic accident. You know you should move on because it's so horrible, but for some reason you can't turn away.

Keep telling yourself that. Someday, you might even believe it.

I liked this episode, but Colfer's "As If We Never Said Goodbye" was a little embarrassing. Not so much his fault, but it was a little corny with the actual cardboard trees and painted seas. The whole song was just really awkward and didn't work for me at all.

Also, they totally stole the whole lesbian/Lebanese joke from the Golden Girls. Updated On: 4/27/11 at 02:07 PM

I wish I had gone to a high school with an outdoor grand piano, and musicians who magically appeared, knowing how to play every song ever written by heart, and singers who knew all the words and back-up harmonies to every song, and could magically create intricate choreography without rehearsal.

@ Jon: The show is essentially a musical and I guess you could say that about any musical, you have to approach glee with that frame of mind.

All that scene needed was Brad the piano guy to be there on cue playing to the song.

How did everyone like last night's episode? Anyone else crying during the scene with Sam, Finn and Rachel in the motel?

my tivo didnt record it last night for some reason I have to check it out online later

I love Lord Tubbington. He was awesome in his 1 minute of screen time.

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 4:54pm

I liked Sam's storyline and it definitely got to me, especially since his role has mostly been about his lips.

"Fondue for Two" does need to be a web series. Love Lord Tubbington as Brittany's sidekick. Work of genius.

I found myself mad at a few characters, namely Finn and Rachel being so assumptive against Sam, Kurt, and Quinn. I get that Quinn's track record is pretty bad on trust but seriously, Finn thinking his stepbrother is a cheater and doing it with his girlfriend's ex- not cool. Not even their trip to bring him clothes (after Kurt did so quietly) even came off patronizing.

Also did not like what Artie called Brittany, and that says a lot since I cannot really say he has treated her well consistently.

I have found myself disappointed with parts of Glee lately (and even fast forwarding, or paying attention to something else).... but I like that they paid tribute to my favorite Fleetwood Mac album last night. And even more excited that Santana sang "Songbird" - which is probably my all time FAVORITE FM song :)

Thoughts on "Funeral"?

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/18/11 at 8:36am

I think we know what Jane Lynch's 'For Your Consideration' Emmy episode is going to be this year.

Aside from the funeral, I hated Finn last night. I found myself siding with Jesse in his critiques and disputes about Finn.

I also found some of the references to the pilot to be a bit too much lip service and often a little forced ie Will responding to Mercedes' killer number that had some painful dialogue.
