Glee: 3.06 "Mash Off" (open spoilers)

Well, the Adele mash-up was fabulous. But I wish Kurt had just gone with an anti-bullying campaign, would have been much more powerful.

Puck’s mohawk is disturbing me.

Damien McGinty has perfectly normal Derry accent, which generally sounds like that. Sorry.

Me too!

Since you mentioned it and it happened to us too, I checked what the internet has to say. Tivo Communities indicates that all TiVos set to record Glee with First Run Only missed an episode. I guess it was incorrectly flagged as a rerun.
The missing episode coincided with some travel so we didn’t notice it until this past episode when we were very confused by random guy and other random dramas. Funny, last episode didn’t cause any confusion from the missing storyline.

I was gay in a conservative high school, and I was bullied (though not for being gay since I wasn’t out), but damn it, dodgeball was the one “sport” in P.E. I liked and was good at… really.:smiley:

The anti-dodgeball campaign doesn’t make any sense at all to me - is he trying to throw the election or something? Anti-bullying makes a helluva lot more sense. Kurt going silly with an anti-split ends campaign or something shallow would make more sense, even.

Yeah, not only had a dodgeball problem never been mentioned even once before this episode, but the sole dodgeball game in this episode was 1) voluntary, 2) held after school, and 3) suggested by Kurt’s own stepbrother. Based on what we’ve seen, he could effectively end dodgeball at McKinley by just pointing out to Finn that it isn’t actually a very good way to resolve glee club conflict.

I think that’s just Santana being a bitch. She and Quinn have also repeatedly made fun of Rachel for her supposedly heavy facial and body hair, but if Rachel actually does have a mustache problem then she is apparently careful about depilation because I’ve never seen any sign of it.

Not that it matters for GLEE, but would a politician be within legal rights to out and use a student who

1- Is only rumored to be a lesbian*
2- Is not a public figure
3- Is a minor (I’m assuming she’s 17 or younger)

I’m guessing that a politician who did that would get his ass sued off for everything from invasion of privacy to malicious gossip to libel**.

I’m guessing that they’re setting this up to counterbalance Kurt, who had a positive coming-out experience, and show the flip side of gays whose parents do NOT accept them. Which could mean a job for A Martinezand Elizabeth Peña or other C-list Hispanic character actors to play her traditionalist parents with Shelley Morrison having “Special Guest Star” as the evil abuela. I can see the family rejecting her except the grandmother who confides that the reason she’s evil is because she’s bitter, and the reason she’s bitter is because she’s a lesbian too, “so follow your dream querida, and by dream I mean las muffinas”.

(Too bad Cesar Romero isn’t around to play her grandfather, but since he never came out/had some orientation related baggage himself he probably wouldn’t have taken the role anyway.)

*I know that Santana is a lesbian (or perhaps bi), but she’s never come out and all the politician’s niece could know is that Finn called her one and that she’s rumored to be dating Brittany, and the fact that both Santana and Brittany have gone with (lots of) men clouds the issue.

**Even is Santana is the lesbianest lesbian this side of Lesbianopolis he can’t prove anything.

I was fine with Finn outing Santana. She was all levels of bitch to him - really bullying. She doesn’t get some magical shield simply because her weak spot is her orientation.

I would think the defense against libel claim would be the truth of the claim.

If Finn had said exactly the same thing to her in private or in the choir room in front of the rest of the club then I’d say Santana got what was coming to her – if anything the stuff she said to Finn was crueler than what he said to her. But although Finn could not have predicted (because it doesn’t really make sense) that his words would lead to Santana being outed in a campaign ad, he knows perfectly well that there’s a history of violent anti-gay bullying at McKinley…and that the administration can’t or won’t do much about it.

Santana’s the biggest bully of them all, she deserves whatever she gets.

And screw anyone who wants to ban dodgeball. Dodgeball days were the only days I didn’t dread gym.

Right. Everything I learned in life, I learned in dodgeball.

Who exactly ran the commercial? Couldn’t have been Burt.

The other party candidate. Burt is running as a write-in.

I have cut back from watching Glee to just reading the boards–however, the 15 yo in my house announced the Hall & Oates was the 2nd best after Adele.

At 104, he’d have to be at least her great-grandfather.

Not necessarily. His fellow Latin-lover-type Anthony Quinn would be 96 if he were alive, and his two youngest children are teenagers. (His two oldest would be in their 70s if they were still alive.)

Weirder is the family of Julio Iglesias. He’s 68 and he has children, grandchildren, and half-siblings under the age of 10.

Well, sure, but this is Fox. There’s no way Rupert Murdoch would let his television station show off that sort of breakdown in the traditional family.

:wink:
