UnGLEEful — Page 8

Phyllis, I am so with you (and with other posters on this board). Even in a fantasy/musical world, there must be a thread of consistent logic. Otherwise, any real character vanishes. They test the bounds of logic and motivation every week. People quit Glee, come back to Glee, Characters are evil, then not evil. Intelligent men can't figure out their wives are not pregnant, and an 18 yr old in 2009 thinks you can get pregnant from sitting in a hot-tub with someone.
It really feels like they had a pilot written, but nothing else, and they were shocked when the show got picked up. They suddenly had to write the rest of the season, with no real idea of who any of these people were, and where they should be headed.

When you say camp style and then "camp" style, are those two different things?

I wasn't trying to be witty.

Also, nothing rings more desperate than something trying to be campy. Campy usually just is.

Then again, "camp" style would explain why I laughed so hard at the end of the sonogram episode where Matthew Morrison was boo hooing.

Okay, then.

He doesn't really follow a specific style or format

Indeed. Not even one within the world he's created.

Way too much Morrison for me this week.

There is one thing they could do that would make this show a lot better, imho, and that is re-cast the role of Finn. After watching 6 episodes I realized that although Cory has a certain charm, he's rather boring as an actor, and he really can't sing. He will never have the great solo number that others will have as the series progresses.
When I heard the Jonathan Groff was coming on for a few eps, it made me realize how much better the show would be if he were playing Finn. (even though that would never happen). But they could have at least found an actor who can keep up with Lea, vocally.

This was a pretty disappointing episode. My suspension of disbelief is more willing than a Catholic school girl on prom night, but some of the things they wanted us to swallow were just too much. Puck and Rachel? REALLY? Sue and anyone? REALLY?!?!?

Now, there were some good moments. The swing number was fun to watch. (Though again, Sue and Will dancing threw me for a loop). And Puck's Sweet Caroline was nice, and good to see him taking a lead. And Emma's I Could Have Danced All Night was a nice surpirse.

But for once, I have to agree. Most of the musical numbers were way over-produced. I'm pretty forgiving about that normally, so when I'm bothered by it, you know it's gone way over the top. Certainly not even close to giving up on it, but hope this trend doesn't continue.

I'm curious to see what everyone thought of last night's episode. Personally, I thought it was one of the best ones yet. I enjoyed seeing a different side of Sue.

"Did Artie and the Stutter Faker make up?"

I don't think they did.
