UnGLEEful — Page 13

Okay, I'm just gonna say it - I kinda didn't hate this episode. There was still a lot to mock - crybaby Matt, who just looks ridiculous when he tries to be serious; Emma, whose OCD must be under control with Zoloft now or something; the fact that they had the bus for Artie (did that get resolved and I just forgot it? I thought the money was going to the auditorium); where did they put their extra wheelchairs?; why are these kids so amoral that they'd let a teenage boy who isn't the father of Quinn's baby think he's the father, etc?

But, maybe it's because virtually every plotline was wrapped up, or because now that it's going away I don't have to feel drawn to this show like I am to a car accident.

It still makes no sense, though. None.

Again, I love coming to this board Thursday mornings so I can find that I am not alone in my feelings about this show. Like others have said, I have given up looking for coherent plots, but it's difficult because to me it indicates lazy, sloppy writing.
On a side note, has anyone noticed that almost all of the Glee clubs group numbers end with the "slowly-raised-extended arm-quasi nazi-salute". It worked for Don't Stop Believing" but it's gotten real old real fast. Sort of like the show itself.

I still can't believe NO ONE but Artie seems to know/care that stutter girl doesn't stutter anymore.

Do show choir competitions really allow heavy solo stuff like Don't Rain on My Parade? It seems to defeat the purpose.

What are you people going to do with yourselves for 4 months?

As Phyllis said, I am drawn to this show like I am to a car accident.

I want to love it. I watch it every week so hopeful for what I am about to see and I have even purchased some of the songs from the show but every week I am left not knowing how to feel about what I have just seen.

I hate that it is so unrealistic.

Is it to be believed that these kids are musical geniuses that can vocally arrange and reorchestrate a song and choreograph a number at the last minute? These kids must me the best sight readers in America.

Who wrote those light cues for their performance at sectionals when they changed their set list at the last minute? That just doesn't happen without a tech rehearsal.

Where was that orchestra during Rachel's solo of "Don't Rain On My Parade?"

Do Santana and Brittney have any other clothes? Why are they wearing their Cheerios' uniform on a Saturday?

I felt that the inclusion of "And I'm Telling You..." was basically pandering to gay men (which I am one) because they know that a good majority of us will gasp and have a spontaneous orgasm everytime we hear those first three chimes and a heavy-set black woman starts singing that song...even when it is made completely underwhelming but the use of autotune. I never thought I would say this but I am so sick of that song.

It looks like strummergirl is all sad, like a poor little baby, because some of us actually see the flaws in this show.

I didn't take her that way at all. There's so much about the show that's NOT logical that if someone can point out that something actually IS logical I say more power to them.

Well, the end was intentionally ambiguous. All Emma did was smile after he kissed her and it faded to black.

Frankly, I'm never sure what a ballad is. Even on the show, they don't seem to have consistency there. When Matt CryBaby explained that a ballad tells a story (which is one of the most common definitions) I wonder how that makes "And I Am Telling You" a ballad by that definition.

... Good point.

I think we are to understand that it went like this: Will gave sue the original set list because she was entitled to see it as co-director. Sue met with the other teachers and told them the songs. When the kids decided to change the final set list, Sue got the changes out of Brittany (which can't be hard) and told the other teachers at the last minute.

...Why I thought about it that much, I can't really tell you. It's not like anything else makes sense.

But...yeah, I kind of liked that episode, or at least disliked it significantly less than most of the other episodes. I think I just have an irrational love of Jayma Mays/Emma, so if she gets a significant amount of screen time, I'm probably going to like the episode.

But, okay, assume that's true. The opposing teams then had only two days to put together three entirely new routines.
