Ah, yes. In that case you're in good company.

The effect of all this, though, is that now I have this urge to dig out my RHPS soundtrack.

At least Mercedes still referred to herself as a transvestite in-character during her song, so I think Frankenfurter was still intended to be male even if played by an actress. Did they do anything in the last 10 minutes that contradicts that interpretation?

Emma's song was probably the best part of the night, but that was after all being sung between two adults in an otherwise empty room, not between a bikini-clad adult teacher and his 16-year-old student on stage in front of an auditorium full of parents. If they'd gone that far, I think a snapshot of the audience would have looked like the one from the school play in The Addams Family.

Agreed that Will was a douche, but at least recognized his doucheness by the end of it. And frankly, I thought Carl was as much of a douche in his own way. The two of them were like a pair of alley cats, taking turns pissing in the corner.

I was able to enjoy the episode from the standpoint of I never went into it expecting it to hew exactly to RHPS, but rather around what would happen should a teacher try to put that show on. Frankly, the one thing that annoyed me the most was the fact that Mercedes lobbied for the role of Frank because as she put it [paraphrased] it's the only way she was going to get a lead part.

Gripe aside, I did love "Toucha Toucha Toucha Touch Me" because it was the one number that stayed as true to the original, with Santana and Brittany eavesdropping.

But that was the point though, right? That he was doing this incredibly wrong, stupid thing for wrong, stupid reasons that was about to put him in that position so he dropped it.

Yeah, in the last 15, Will admitted to Emma he was doing the show to get close to her and that was wrong. She was getting better with Carl and if Will loved her, had had to step back and let them be together.

He realizes doing the show is wrong. He goes to the kids and tells them he is canceling the show. He said RHPS wasn't about pushing the envelope, it was about giving a voice and a home to all of the outcasts and misfits. Because of that, it was a good show for the Glee Club to do, but not for an audience, for themselves. So they perform to an empty auditorium, with just Will sitting there, cheering them on.

AV Club gives the Rocky Horror Glee Show an F.

This is from the regular reviewer who loves the show.

did they say *Ohio*???

Lima, Ohio, actually!

And ITA with Fred with everything he said, especially:

Still, the ep seems to become annoying every time the music stops.

As harsh as that AV Club review is, I'd have to agree with almost all of it.

Newsflash for me--I thought Quinn was the lips, not Santana!

There's an ongoing thing where various kids say something like, "I want to get out of this place, not just stay here and end up a Lima Loser." There was at least one time that Emma (the guidance counselor) told a kid something like, "You don't want to end up a Lima Loser. You're better than that." Which made me blink a few times, since I can just imagine the parents' reaction to a kid being told that.
