Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
I could not love Glee more.
I loved Kristin Chenoweth as much as I usually do, which is a lot. And I must download her versions of Alone and Last Name immediately.
What else was wonderful? Finn was adorable after Rachel "caught" him manipulating her. Puck's line about Bert and Ernie. Drunk Kurt, followed by germophobe Emma getting her feet vomited on ("the full Silkwood").
There was not enough Sue. But oh well.
I got chills during Somebody to Love.

Somebody to Love was the highlight of the episode, drunkKurt was amusing too.

I thought tonight's episode was a little on the dull side personally.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
As great as the musical numbers are, the filler stuff is just horribly
Oh, and is it just me or can't Cory Monteith move? He seems to walk like a robot and looks completely out of rhythm in all choreographies.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
Another subpar episode IMHO. The music and the performances were great, but the show kinda dropped the ball with the characters and the story. It lost the quirkiness and dark comedic parts it frequently showcased in the first three episodes.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
More Sue, Less Sandy (as much as I find Sandy hilarious/creepy, Sue is the better villain).

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
I'm not a big fan of Sandy, I think of him more as a one trick pony that served its purpose, so yeah definitely more Sue.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
The mashups of It's My Life/Confessions and Halo/Walking on Sunshine were aweeeeesome. Especially the boys.
Sue is the most amazing character in television history. I love Jane Lynch so much.
I like that they're making Quinn and Terri more three-dimensional characters than they first appeared. Terri is crazy and obviously a "villain" but Jessalyn Gilsig plays her in a way that you still sort of sympathize. And Quinn's "bonding" scene with Rachel was well-done.
Emma's idea of marriage=hilarious. I need her and Will together!
Next week's episode looks excellent.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
I liked the mash-ups, more so It's My Life/Confessions as that seemed to flow more. Even with Finn's singing.
Sadly the rest of the episode filled me with indifference. I hate Terri so much, I would very much prefer her to be off-screen permanently and just be spoken of like Maris of Frasier fame. I also really don't care about Emma/Ken/Will's drama. The show would be a lot better if it just focused on the school kids and the Glee club.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
I thought tonight's episode was fantastic! Perhaps my favourite yet. The mash-ups were awesome, and the entire sub-plot surrounding pseudoephedrine was hilarious. Terri is completely crazy, and I love it. Her keeping an eye on Will and being crazy in general was just too funny. And top all that off with lots of Sue!! Wooot.
Peace, Mike

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
"Sweetie, I'm the school nurse. I know what I'm doing." --> Every time Terri said that... lmao.
"Oh dear God, please, please, stop talking. I'm trying desperately to ignore the trickily sweet inanity of your asinine conversation. But now I've got bile in my mouth, and I will hold my tongue no further. You know what this is? It's a list of my Cheerios. Every week I pick one at random, and I kick 'em out."
*sigh* So funny.
Peace, Mike

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
Tremendous mashups, mediocre storylines.
They should just get rid of the plots and send an hor of performances

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
Great episode. Loved the boys' mashup. The show cracked me up non stop throughout this time. A welcome change after two subpar episodes.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
I loved the last episode. Did not care for the boys' mashup though. Probably because I hate "It's My Life."
I absolutely hate Terri. I really want Will and Emma to be together. Of course, once they finally are together it will get boring so as much as I want them together they're better off dragging it out.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
This episode had a ton of Sue. Consequently, it was enjoyable. An Emmy has Jane Lynch's name on it, hopefully.
Some of these storylines are coming across a bit "after school special" for my liking, but the actors and the writing generally sell it well enough that it's not overly cheesy. Will tearing up at the sonogram was nice but I feel like an intelligent human cannot possibly go this far without realizing Terri's deceit like he apparently has.
I also surprisingly didn't really like Rachel and Finn's rendition of "No Air," especially since I love that song to begin with. Lea Michele is phenomenal but Cory Montieth is only a decent singer, and I'd like to see the singing of some more of the glee kids highlighted.
The jam session to Ride Wit Me was my favorite scene of the episode. Felt wonderfully authentic and real.
They need to give Puck something to do in one of the next episodes. I think there's potential for some interesting character development with him but they haven't really tapped into it since we discovered he's Quinn's baby daddy.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
Maybe I'm just such a sucker for this kind of stuff, but I friggin' loved tonight's episode. Sue had the spotlight, and it was wonderful. I love how the plot is developing - dramatic AND funny. Finally, this episode really highlighted what the Glee Club is all about, and why every one of them needs it, even the so-called popular kids. I think it's really moving in the right direction.
Peace, Mike

ps. I love that they did Avril Lavigne's Keep Holding On. Hah. A really appropriate use at the end of the episode after all the drama.

Re: "Glee" Thread - Sept 9 as scheduled!
How did Cory Monteith get his job? His singing voice and dancing is sub-par for the level of this show.
Sorry, but sometimes he sounds like someone from the Chipmunks movie

Sorry, but sometimes he sounds like someone from the Chipmunks movie I sorta agree. He's definitely the weak link in the cast. He does fit the "dumb jock" role well, but if the Glee club is supposed to be his outlet to express his "true! creative! self!" then maybe they should have chosen an actor who doesn't look/sing like a perma-tard?

Either he's the ugly duckling and will shine by the end of the season, or he's just the ugly duckling someone felt sorry for. He acts well, but singing is bad sometimes. And I can't comment on his dancing. I'm yet to see any dancing (or something resembling to that) from him.

I'm not a huge fan of his either. He's not even attractive . I guess he does a decent enough job with the part though.

The cast will be performing the National Anthem during Game 3 of the World Series, FYI.
