Vortex, I'll let you pick.

Mercedes/Santana pairing with them doing a duet on Womanizer. Preferably with Cheerios back up dancers and some form of near naked Puck. I would give a righteous Artie gospel hand to that.

HALLELU!!!

I actually teared up a bit during that last scene between Kurt and his father. The two actors have such lovely rapport.

I have to say I found the Rachel & Finn's quadriplegic friend storyline cringe-inducingly heavy-handed and kinda offensive. Yes, it's great that they cast an actual quadriplegic actor in the role, but the story itself was painfully Afterschool Special. It's the whole Magical Negro trope, except this one was about a Magical Cripple, only brought into the story so that Rachel could learn a Very Important Life Lesson, with her solitary tear of compassion and all. *rolls eyes forever*

I have such mixed feelings toward this show. How could it be so brilliant in some parts and so faily in others? Maaaan.

I had some issue with that too. I think I would have been happier if Rachel had admitted a little more clearly that she was so incredibly overreacting.

I had the same thoughts about that storyline. In this episode, that guy served absolutely no purpose other than teaching Rachel a Very Important Lesson. He wasn't even introduced in any sort of natural way -- Finn specifically brought Rachel to see him so that she could learn.

I kind of left the room during the The Very Special Lesson part, and when I rewatch the Puck song and a couple of other parts, I pretend it doesn't exist.

I've gotten pretty good at creating my own version of most episodes.

Freaking word. They are so darn clueless on some issues. I cringed when Santana called Mercedes "Weezie" too.

And if you really are going to go there...is there a teenager today who would get that reference? Is there no modern equivilent? And if not, geee, maybe there is a reason.

Suzi, yes. I wasn't even sure I heard it right. I mean, I've never even seen The Jeffersons, I just barely got it (I'm old enough but didn't watch much tv back then).

I have an unabashed love of Brit, so I am all for an all Britney episode. I might even have people over and create a specialty cocktail.

Let the church say amen! (I might throw some Quinn in there, too)

I thought that was funny, actually.

I don't think that it would have been true to the character. Rachel wouldn't do that.

The Weezie thing didn't throw me off. Sue used it first and I've no doubt that she's probably used it since within earshot of other Cheerios. I just figured that's where Santana picked it up. The whole Rachel loses her voice storyline was one big cliche, but I'm finding that Rachel is by far my least favorite character on the show. I think Lea Michele is doing a gret job with what she's being given, it's just that more often than others on the show, what she's given is kind of corny.
