I love Artie’s facial expressions. The one during Afternoon Delight was hilarious.
Okay, Emma’s officially nuts now, not just eccentric. Her husband should get an annulment and get on with his life. (She’s not shagging John Stamos? That is truly insane.)
I liked Kurt’s dad’s talk as well, including Kurt putting his fingers in his ear and singing. I can’t imagine how difficult that would have to be for a straight guy to do and I thought he handled it as well as anybody realistically could. I also liked how he brought up the “you’re talking about two guys” thing, which is the basis of homosexual promiscuity (basically it’s male nature).
This was my reaction as well. When Brittany asked Santana if that was really how she felt about her, I thought “Is WHAT how she really feels about you?” I mean, it’s a beautiful song, but I had no idea whether it was supposed to be an “I really do love you” song or a “We had some fun, but it’s over” song. When they started hugging I figured it was meant to be the former, in this context at least, but I really wouldn’t have known from the song alone.
I also thought it must mean that things were over. I had no idea that Santana was telling her she loved her only.
So does Ohio really have storks?
And I realize it’s a silly show and all that and Brittney’s great for comic relief, but seriously- they need to “real her up” a little bit. She believes in Santa and that storks bring babies? She’d be in Special Ed.
So if two 17 year olds made a sex tape, I realize it would be illegal to distribute it but could it really be considered ‘possession of child pornography’ if they had it on their own computers?
She’s always been nuts but now it’s just insanely (HA!) obvious she is.
I don’t even like Gwyneth Paltrow but she was hot during the tango. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this episode. Will wasn’t weird, Burt is awesome, etc etc.
I don’t understand why she had to have, what, four numbers during the show? I wasn’t aware she was a major singer (read: she isn’t).
Also the one when Sam commented on how close their girlfriends are, and how maybe they should become so close, too. 
Love love loved Afternoon Delight. Puck was killing me up there.
Santana sure looked beautiful in her simple white shirt and jeans during Landslide. I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about that storyline though. In the moment of watching the show, I was into it, but I don’t like what it means for the character’s arc outside of the episode. She’s crazy Santana!! (BTW, really thought it was cool that Britt won’t hurt Artie, who she also loves.)
I felt so awkward through the whole Blaine/Burt conversation. That was just weird. Was so impressed with Burt/Kurt. What an amazing dad he is. (fingers in his ears ha ha ha)
Loved the tango! Love Gwyneth’s character. And Emma, really? Married to John Stamos? I don’t know if I’d ever want to leave the house!
I was a little distracted during Landslide by Brit’s shoulder. It looked like a cyst or acne but in the locker scene she has the same bump on her other shoulder. It might just be a shoulder bone but it seemed an unusual place for them to be prominent.
Otherwise great episode. I loved the fact that Blaine cared enough to go to Burt and the sex talk with Burt and Kurt was the best I’ve ever seen. I suspect the reason for Sue’s visit will play out next week.
I thought I was the only person who thought that! Life’s a bitch when your only physical flaw is a slightly lumpy shoulder and you can dance like satan’s fiddlin’ the tune
Yup.
She’s over the top, but really not too far to be realistic. I knew a girl in high school who honest to god thought that chocolate milk came from chocolate cows. She was very Brittney-esque. And a platinum blonde cheerleader. She was the originator of countless idiotic statements and answers to questions in my biology class.
It’s like Kurt is winding himself tighter and tighter. In a way his crush on Blaine is even bigger torture than his crush on Finn. At least Finn wasn’t into boys at all. Blaine is, but not apparently into Kurt. I’m sure Sam’s comment to Artie was meant as an indication of his cluelessness, but it would be nice if they went back to their original plan of making Sam gay and a love interest for Kurt.
And I can’t even imagine what it’d be like to be on either side of that conversation. :eek: Just the thought of discussing anything remotely sexual with either of my parents makes my skin crawl even as an adult. We never had “The Talk”, I just checked out a book from the library on my own. The subject never even came up in conversation. Also I had the internet.
Am I the only one who found Kurt’s dad Talk incredibly sexist? :dubious: Compassionate, loving, doing the best he can, etc. etc. Sure. But … I dunno. I have to disagree with Sampiro. The guy assumes Kurt will immediately fall into “homosexual promiscuity” but … that’s just so not Kurt’s style, and his own dad should know him a bit better than that.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thought “What? ‘Landslide’ is an ‘ode to Sapphic love’ or however Rachel phrased it?” 
It’s stuck in my head at this moment, giving me plenty of time to analyze the lyrics. I’m still not getting it. Becoming more self-aware, maybe, is as far as I can go.
Also … how can a couple “cuddle all the time … too much!” if one party can’t stand to be touched?
Coach B. stole her scene without having a single line. She’s awesome!
if it doesn’t get distributed, no one sees it, and therefore no street cred.
I disagree. I thought the point was, you don’t need sex to be loved. I would imagine he’s the type of father who would have said it to his son or daughter, gay or straight. “Protect yourself” means much more than just use a condom.
Fair enough. It was more his “men treat sex like this, but women treat sex like that” speech. As if all women are cut from the same cloth, and we ladies never *ever *just wanna get laid!
Didn’t there used to be a character called Mike Chang on this show? I miss him. And I hate Holly Holliday.
Also: “Landslide” must be the Emperor’s New Song, because I have absolutely no idea what it is about or is supposed to be about or how it has anything to do with Santana’s feelings or why Santana can’t sing her own damn song instead of sitting there like Charlie McCarthy while Holly sings for her.
Aren’t we supposed to be preparing for Regionals? And the coffee shop is called the Lima Bean and it’s a Dalton hangout but Dalton is how many miles from McKinley again?
“If you wonder how he eats and breaths and other science facts…”
Yeah, they’re on opposite sides of the state. For awhile it seemed like Kurt was boarding at Dalton Academy (especially in the Xmas episode), but then Kurt dropped the line about living with Finn and bringing him warm milk every night and was shown to be living in the master bedroom of his old house.
You know, I really didn’t get that from it at all, even if he was very much coming at it from a middle aged straight guy perspective. But it is so, so, so easy for young gay men to get laid if they want to. I mean, not everyone gets hit on constantly, but if you are a young gay man and you want sex and you don’t live in BFE, you can pretty much put up a craigslist ad and get your rocks off. Or go to the bar, or a party, or whatever. No, not all gay men are interested in that, so don’t think I’m saying all queer men are sluts. (Love is as hard for young gay men to find as it is for anyone.) I’m just saying that there is a massive difference in the work needed for straight men to hook up with women who are just looking for a fun time and the effort required on the part of gay dudes. And more young gay men need to be told this kind of thing, that you should be aware, once you realize that this sexual world is so wide open to you, that the results can be emotional as well as physical.
My main criticism of the talk was that it was a little too perfect. It was clearly the fantasy of how that talk should ideally go. But hey, when I was young and queer and the only out gays in the world were Harvey Firestein and Lea DeLaria, this episode (and the queer Glee plots in general) would have left me giddy for days. Weeks. It would have changed my whole life.
It ain’t a great show, but that teenager I left behind me all those years ago can’t stop watching it and cheering it on. Now, if we can just get some action for Mercedes.
