I probably would have enjoyed the episode more if I knew anything about Lady Gaga besides how to wake her.

I can't decide if my favorite costuming detail was Kurt wearing the insane hoof shoes or Brittany with the silver lobster.
It's gotta be the hoof shoes. And he rocked them! Bitch was working that choreography in those crazy ass shoes. I would've broken my neck just trying to walk.

I loved the lobster glasses. And Quinn's pink eyelash things were also very cool. The hoof shoes were extremely impressive, though.
Overall I was kind of "meh" on the episode, though.
It seems to have left me with a permanent earworm of Bad Romance. eh ... could be worse (like the time I spent a week earwormed with the theme from Green Acres ... shudder)
Good. I was earwormed (no lie) for 2 weeks for that Gaga/Beyonce Telephone song. I didn't even hear it on the radio. I saw the video twice and my brain was taken over.
All Lady Gaga earworms turn into Poker Face for me.
that's probably the one song of hers that doesn't do it for me, for some reason. I had "Let's Dance" as an earworm for 4-6 weeks. I could not shake it.
I can't say I loved the "Poker Face" duet (if you're as serious about a singing career as Rachel is, and you're only getting one chance to fulfill your lifelong dream of singing a duet with your mother, I don't know why you'd choose that song). But it was very well done, and bonus points for so completely reimagining the song.
Moving Carol and Finn in was handled very, very poorly. The first time Finn heard about it was as the move was happening? And yeah, about the only thing Kurt did right was put in a privacy screen. Still doesn't justify Finn's language (though "this stupid chair" and "those ridiculous curtains" wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much). And points to Burt for defending Kurt from Finn's language.
And while there were so many great touches with the costumes, Finn stole the show at the end as the Fire King.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.
