For you people, I am rewatching. Moments I loved: Sue's face when Will picks up the sheet music, that the Good Vibrations choreo was definitely influenced by the original video, Sue's pearls, Mike's ridiculously high level of Good Vibrations appreciation (wonder if he did the choreo), "Vive la difference!", the preggo Swan Lake, and the final number.
Aillean, Mercedes said, "You may not be a minority, but you certainly get how it feels sometimes." And then Quinn acknowledges that her oppression is only for nine months.
That was a weird episode.
Ahh, just read that Fox switched this episode and the Lady Gaga episode for the purposes of sweeps, which is why the Rachel/Jesse/Shelby thing is so confusing.
But Jesse wasn't in the Lady Gaga episode. The whole "I don't want to hurt her" was in the episode (Dream On) before that. So even with a switch, it is still odd.
Glee is a show that I will never, ever praise for it's writing. But I still enjoy it. I just can't think about it too hard.
And it still doesn't explain how Idina['s character] could let her kids beat up on her daughter that way!
Stephanie, you're right. That makes even less sense than the Jesse thing. Unless she didn't know.
Mark Salling and Matthew Morrison sing "Over the Rainbow," Israel Kamakawiwoʻole-style, on the Glee tour. Very cute, with other cast members being all affectionate in the background. [link]
Mark does some mighty fine pickin' in that video too.
I thought "Man's World" was hilarious. Wasn't it supposed to be funny?
Mixed feelings here. Quinn sang the hell out of it. The choreography was better as a statement than as choreography.
I think I'd have liked "Good Vibrations" better if they'd have tried to bring something new to the song. I mean, more than "Pucky Puck." Maybe playing a little more with the boasting in the lyrics.
And I suspect I'm in the minority on "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker." The choreography was brilliant. The vocals -- didn't really have that much soul/funk. Technically very proficient, but not exactly funky. Kind of like the Carpenters' version of "Please Mr. Postman," except that it's easier to get away with pop-ifying a song called "Please Mr. Postman" than one called "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (We Want the Funk)."
And it still doesn't explain how Idina['s character] could let her kids beat up on her daughter that way!
Because WINNING IS EVERYTHING!!!! And she doesn't really want a daughter, she wants a BABY!
