Unfortunately the Rocky Horror ep isn’t for two more weeks. Apparently there’s not a GLEE episode next week.
As for the over-the-top costuming–McKinley’s Glee Club has been around for decades and does not throw away old costumes. Plus, there’s the Chicago conceit that once the characters start singing, what you see is as much in their imagination as anything else.
I’m more impressed that every member of Show Choir has a full complement of skilled musicians available with little or no notice. Is that piano player a faculty member?
No, I feel totally cheated out of that. And I also feel really sad for Brittany.
It’s a tad hypocritical but very true to life that he didn’t get offended with her until after they’d had sex.
If she wanted to do Artie a major favor she could tell people he was the best sex she’d ever had- that would be one hell of an endorsement.
Was Sue in this episode at all? Mark Salling is doing a promo tour for his new album which I suppose is why Puck was in juvie, though I wonder how long he’ll be in; he doesn’t seem to be in Rocky Horror.
Brittany is becoming a sad character because she’s just smart enough to realize she’s stupid and knows the only thing she really has to offer is sex. Hopefull she’ll become the pampered trophy wife of a middle aged accountant and all will be well.
So.
I’m really liking what they’re doing with Santana this season. Hope they get more of that tension between her and Quinn.
It’s not like she gave him much time to protest. I was a little surpsied that she could pick him up so easily.
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe, just maybe, Brittany actually has genuine feelings for Artie? I’m sure she didn’t at the start, but the meatball thing really made me go huh. She really did seem despondent about him breaking up with her.
I mean, I can’t imagine them making Brittany *too *sympathetic or three dimensional, or it would ruin the delight of her vapid commentary, but…yeah…maybe Artie was a little hasty there…
In a blip online the actors who play Artie and Brittany said that she was sore all the next day from having to pick him up several times. He’s short in real life but he’s still a grown guy and could only give her limited assistance (i.e. couldn’t lift much with his legs when she was taking him out of the chair).
I’ve no idea if Kevin McHale (Artie) is gay or not IRL, but he and Chris Colfer (Kurt) are apparently close; they’re always together and not just at official functions but in paparazzi ambushes. I wonder if they’re dating- they’d make a cute couple.
It’s consistent with Artie’s character, though. Remember when he was very interested in Tina the first time and then broke up with her when he found out she’d been faking her stutter?
And people might actually believe her if she mentioned he used his mouth. No Sue, though her presence wouldn’t have helped the plot.
I think she was genuine feelings for Santana.
I don’t think it was hypocritical of him. He only broke up with her after Santana told him that he was just being used. After the way he spoke with Tina I think he genuinely thought they were a couple.
Baseball playoffs? Haven’t checked.
Yup, ALCS game 4.
I wasn’t as huge a fan of this week’s, but that was mostly because the songs were largely from a genre that I’m not as familiar with and not really a huge fan of. I did like a lot of the character moments, and I did feel really cheated out of not seeing Artie and Brit sing together.
“For a while I thought you were a robot.”
Go Rangers!
This one was a definite improvement over the last two. Which was good because I’m not a Rocky Horror fan at all so that will be 3 weeks until a new intriguing episode.
I’d like to Brittney pursue an actual relationship with someone. Her dense one-liners are hilarious but her character is so dense she doesn’t have any depth.
I thought it too, but there are some equally valid explanations:
- she’s never been the dump-ee before, only the dump-er and is in shock
- she actually feels bad for using him after his little speech
And since this is Brittany we’re talking about, here are a few more:
- she forgot that he broke up with her and doesn’t notice that he’s not there
- she’s found that she enjoys pushing meatballs with her nose and is hoping to parlay it into a career of some sort.
I don’t know how I went this long without noticing how beautiful and what a great actress Dianna Agron is. I think she’ll make it in movies.
For some reason I found Kurt’s “duet” indeed masturbatory and disturbing. However, I think that Chris Colfer should star in a revival of Victor/Victoria- he has the vocal range and power and the notion of a man playing a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman adds a nice little extra “Land o’ Lakes Butter Woman” infinity twist.
I think Sam would have been within his rights to say “I’m glad this is a date, but bitch I still want a free meal!”
Did Harry Shum, Jr. have the bones surgically removed from his legs? He does moves I’ve just never seen the like of and would have thought impossible. I’d say he was wasted on this show but I’m not sure what the proper venue is for an incredibly limber dancer these days.
As much as I like his dancing, I think I like his back row ‘da fuck?’ facial expressions more.
Those are, indeed, excellent – but he totally freaking killed that number. I hope they find more ways to give him an occasional solo.
twicks, who’s never made a secret of the fact that it’s the dancing, not the singing, that makes her a musicals fan
Wait a minute! Are you saying Chris Colfer… IS GAY?!?
I always thought he was just using that shtick to bang every chick on the cast…
including Jane Lynch.
