Either she’s barren or her parents are smart enough to grind birth control pills up and spike her morning OJ.
Kurt trying to act straight was hard to watch, but that was the point. He’s supposed to get a boyfriend next season, but will Fox have the balls to show the two of them snogging like him and Brittany?
Was it just me, or was Finn’s singing really kind of hot? By the way, I just learned he is 28, so no worries about cradle-robbing. 
I liked this episode just fine, too. Sure, it had weak, ham-handed spots like most episodes, but the show entertains the hell out of me.
I thought this episode was better than average - and coming on the heals of American Idol’s songs from movies, it was interesting to note that any of those kids on Glee could sing circles around the current spate of Idol candidates.
Maybe they should send the casting department of Glee around the US next year to select candidates for American Idol instead of Simon and crew - at least the casting agents on Glee know how to pick talent.
Until the kids on Glee do it live, outside a recording studio and without autotune, I don’t think there’s much comparison.
“I checked out of this conversation about a minute ago. I need to stop having conversations with students in the hallway; this has been a colossal waste of time.”
They’re about to go on tour IRL. The reviews should be interesting.
I thought it was funny that Kurt compared himself to a castrato after he’s been compared to them by several viewers and revieweres. Surprised he chose Orlando di Lasso though when Farinelli has a movie about him.
I don’t doubt they’ll be good in person. Ensembles have the advantage of harmonizing, as well as the dance routines to fall back on. A single one-shot performance (a la Idol) is a different beast though.
Many of the GLEE kids have a Broadway/performance background. That’s why it’s such a shame they autotune them to death. They’ve got the chops - no need to make them look like chopped liver.
Speaking of dance, I wonder if they’re ever going to develop Harry Shum’s character. (He’s the Asian student who’s always in the background but doesn’t really speak.) The guy is an incredible dancer.
Dance off with Morrisonat around 4:15
i agree - I googled him immediately after the “It’s My Life” song back in the first half. I really want to see him dance, dance, dance. He’s amazing.
F*ck Rachel.
Finn is always hot, and getting hotter by the second. And he has a really sexy voice. And yes, it felt wrong, so good to know he’s actually older than me.
Mark Salling (Puck) is also in his late 20s, if that adds to the comfort…
“The Lady is a Tramp” was great. I would love for them to do more songs like this.
“One” was terrible though. Awful arrangement.
Last night’s episode seemed to be answering every criticism of the show that’s floating around the internets.
I actually liked the arrangement of “One” (very “uplifting”) and hated “The Boy is Mine” which is one of my secret shameful favorite songs. Very…obviously produced? With half the lyrics being in the background and it seemed like the Santana character wasn’t even singing her part? (Plus I didn’t really believe her giving a rat’s ass about Puck from the start…why now?)
I have to say the whole “Kurt being straight to try to win his dad” creeped me the hell out. You’d think they could come up with a happy medium with that. Like they could go to the state fair and one would love the table-setting display and one could love the woodworking display. And they could both love the retro band for different reasons. (REO Speedwagon or something maybe?) It’s not a whole black-&-white world for crying out loud. I can appreciate that his dad likes sports and Kurt doesn’t but maybe they could take a cooking class or something together? Jeez.
It would be interesting to see how well Harry Shum Jr. does on So You Think You Can Dance. He gets the immediate ticket to Vegas and a probable spot in the top 20, but can he go all the way to the finals?
Agreed. (There are nekkid pics of him on the Internets [rear only] if you’re into that sordid sorta thing.) The only thing about him though is he always looks like he’s on the verge of tears.
Kurt isn’t trying to win his father’s approval so much (he knows his father is as okay as he’s going to get with him being gay) as he’s insanely jealous of his father’s interest in Kurt. His mother is dead and his father is the only person of importance in his life and vice-versa until now when there’s a rival, so he’s trying to shove the rival (who to complicate matters is someone he’s in lust with) and nudge his way back in, or as Eleanor of Aquitaine coldly says about the death of a former rival she’s suspected of murdering in The Lion in Winter “She headed Henry’s table. That’s…my chair”.
As much as I loved it, I think I can happily go without seeing Chris Colfer sing a Mellencamp song ever again. It’s clearly not what he was put on Earth for.
So, Jesse’s away on spring break or something? And Rachel still considers him her boyfriend, even if they haven’t talked since he saw her video in the last episode? Clearly, that’s not going to last. I wonder what might be in store for him. He was pretty much just there as Rachel’s boyfriend.
But damn if the character who compares his singing to a castrati isn’t the one who can crank out the Springsteen-esque growl in performance. Shit, they should have had *him *sing ‘Fire’ last week!
Poor Kurt. The two people he loves are courting each other. Jealousy, squared.
