And that other dude. <br /><br />But yeah...I'ma start cutting people if Tina doesn't start getting her due. I loved the Brainiacs stuff, but I love Tina singing more.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634766750596400436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-38112978431153375032011-04-21T18:17:42.259-04:002011-04-21T18:17:42.259-04:00"If the writers don't do it, I will"..."If the writers don't do it, I will". And I'm so sad to be convinced by now that they won't. Honestly, Tina's scene felt for me (and probably for Jenna as well) like a slap on the face. How hypocritical is all of this? So it's all about neglected characters, but the truth is that guest stars GP and Charice get full solos (Charice's felt specially pointless and contractual, if you know what I mean), while Tina, once AGAIN, has her solo interrupted and is completely pushed away from the plot. No revenge, no backstory. If the writers had the slightest compassion for her and plot consistency, she should have come back to finish her song. Which was, in my opinion, awesome during the few seconds it lasted. The way she entered the stage, cool and mysterious, her gestures, her sensual body language. It was all incredibly cool. The song itself was brilliant and perfect for Tina's character and voice. 15 seconds in, it all gets ruined for "comedic" purposes. Certainly not funny for me... <br /><br />Compare it to Charice: clichéd song, coupled with clichéd belting and clichéd diva gestures. Full song, everybody clapping. <br /><br />What was the chapter's "theme" again?<br /><br />RonanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-10982856962510442172011-04-20T21:29:24.226-04:002011-04-20T21:29:24.226-04:00@J.A.

Morris<br /><br />A filler episode that had those few set ups sprinkled through out (the Wemma moment, the Klainetana vs Karofsky scene, Quinn campaigning for PQ while handling the taffy, etc) and that was enjoyable would've been fine. A filler episode isn't intrinsically a bad episode. But this one just sucked.<br /><br />It makes me lose my faith in the writers' ability to focus a story if they would rather spend time on pointless BS rather than develop things with real story potential. I mean, the Santana slushee gets a couple of 2 second flashbacks, but creepy VA guy can have a whole scene of unfunny, pointless, creepy Holy seducing?<br /><br />Really glee? REALLY?<br /><br />It makes me fear that BTW will be all about Finn's dancing instead of stuff people really struggle with or is interesting, like Santana and Dave's sexuality, for example.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893874483891073551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-4783529287418563812011-04-20T11:57:58.007-04:002011-04-20T11:57:58.007-04:00I think a better title would have been 'Suck i...I think a better title would have been 'Suck it,viewers! This is just a filler until next week's big Gaga-themed episode! And don't forget to buy the lackluster performances of songs you heard tonight on itunes!' <br /><br />For me,this was the worst episode since the one with all the Britney Spears songs. <br /><br />The only worthwhile scene was the Karofsky business. It almost felt like it was phoned in from another episode. <br />The scene with in the car with Mercedes & Rachel was okay, but yeah,just a little too meta/nudge nudge for me. <br />I really wish Terry would just stay away, her arc, it's over. She's just not an interesting character. <br /><br />(sorry for my attempt to apply logic to 'Glee' in this next paragraph!)<br />And this idea that "everyone within 50 miles of Lima hates New Directions ergo they're the ultimate underdogs" is tired & played out. They played their benefit show to an empty auditorium? If nothing else, don't the gospel singers and string section musicians have friends and families? No one else from Mercedes' church? Kurt's dad/Finn's mom wouldn't show? Doesn't Holly seem like the sort who would give extra credit for students who attended the benefit? Did Sue tear down every flier for the concert and delete all social media promoting the event? <br />And another reason it was stupid:<br />People like winners(many teens especially like "winners" who look like Naya Rivera,Cory Montieth,Diana Agron,etc and will show up to check them out on stage). New Directions won Sectionals last year,Regionals this year. Winning creates fans. At least a few dozen people(high school age or otherwise) would have become fans of ND by now and shown up for the benefit. The empty aud was a weak premise, just not credible.J.A.

The guest stars can tell their stories walking for all I care. GP you're a great chick but it's time for you to move on - you are starting to do the show more harm than good, and honey - you're not much chuff as a singer, let it go.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-66119365342141231912011-04-19T23:47:36.003-04:002011-04-19T23:47:36.003-04:00At every commercial break I kept looking at the cl...At every commercial break I kept looking at the clock wondering when the episode was going to start. There were wonderful little moments but the story as a whole was so awful, including the League of Doom. I mean, you have a very predatory gay man who could really tear into the insecurities of the Glee boys. Puck anyone? Sandy's "touched" him before, he's neglected and abused by his girlfriend and his friend Artie has abandoned him. Or how about Finn? See above using/abusive girlfriend, can't dance, insecure about his place in the world. Oh the wasted opportunities! Creepy funny Sandy!<br /><br />And we get the Heckler club instead. Sigh. <br /><br />Oh! and Sunshine! Why didn't Dustin get info from her about the inner workings of the club especially the fact that that they don't listen to their most talented member and leader, Rachel. Divide and conquer, decide weakest link in the group, get them to quit, stir up animosity. Gah! <br /><br />Why was Mercedes suddenly willing to bow down to Rachel's whims? The best part of that whole story line was Lauren's initial reaction, how disturbed she was. The rest was just silly although I would have been entertained by the appearance of Puck with a puppy. Puppies are always scene stealers and this episode could use it. <br /><br />Something is way wrong when guest stars are the only ones to get full solos (and Mercedes I guess) Turning Tables was particularly useless. She didn't do justice to it, the full string orchestra behind her was ridiculous and I felt relieved when she walked away into the dark hallway. Dramatically that means she's gone for good right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
