I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing; 2x03 review
Okay, so I was kind of obnoxiously excited for this episode.
Because ZOMG I think Glee might get it right for once with balance.
But I'm keeping my hopes low, because I hate feeling like I'm wrong. haha. It's so rare.
But I will say this:
It just-- the thought of this kills me.
I've made my love for Burt very clear. Right back at the beginning with his awesome flannel shirts.
Now, look. He's only the best character ever.
I'm just putting this out there.
While my love for Finn/Rachel is pretty up and down, mostly down,
My love for Mr. Finn Hudson is ever-lasting. Because the thing is, Finn is sixteen feet tall and while it makes him very funny and cute and just-- Guh. So adorable. It also means that his relationship with Rachel is pretty douchestastic. And that's fine, really. Because like I said, of the teenage romances that occur daily, most of them are like this-- pretty co-dependent, needy, funny, cute, volatile, pathetic. But what I can't abide on his show is two things: 1) the idea that this behaviour is good/normal/okay/healthy and 2) that this an epic romance makes. I'd be totally okay if she had this kind of relationship with someone else. But don't give me badness and then tell me to love it.
Now rant over: I can get back to my original point, FINNNNNN. SO CUTE. YES. And Finn/Rachel, so height mismatched it makes me happy, but this is not the stuff of Shakespeare. So I've decided that while Ryan will fuck up them and not make Groff come back, I'm going to accept them for the high school couple they are, instead of what they ain't.
Also: it makes me really really happy that he coined the phrase 'cheesus'. Boy's got a way with words. and karate chop hands
Aw, and his prayers are so selfish. G'aw.
It so reminds me of when I was younger (I'm talking seven/eight) and I was really concerned with God. I thought he might be mad at me. So I used to apologise outloud when I said things wrong. Anyways, for like a month, I would 'pray', the way I'd seen in films Hunchback Of Notre Dame and yeah. I'd kneel down next to my bed, say: "please, keep my family safe/please, make the world better/please, feed hungry people" and then I'd slip in "and can you buy me some shoes?" because I think my version of a God was more of a genie. And I genuinely believed that someone was listening and they might not see through my evil plan and they'd just go "well, she did ask for those things first". O, young!Josie, I miss you.
But no one saw that prayer on the football field and thought Ms. Pillsbury should have a word?
Hey there, hamfisted foreshadowing of impending doom.
Nice to see you.
I guess no one told you about the promos, did they?
They pretty much spoiled any 'gasp' factor this might have.
I'm just-- I'm just saying.
Nice try.
KURT WATCHES GREY'S ANATOMY.
You know he crushes on Jackson. I KNOW IT.
How coiffed is he? Delish. Like a tasty Jesus.
OMG. GUYS, LIZARD BABY. I SAID THIS FUCKING MONTHS AGO.
Oh, and the phrase 'number one Heeb'-- totally my favourite phrase of today.
1) QUINN, I SEE YOU. DIGGING THE PUCKMEISTER. AND HIS NEW FOUND DEPTH.
2) Britt-Britt, are you smiling because you made out with Puck, or you made out with chicks?
Okay, so when I knew they were going to do this song, I nearly died because this has been on my Puck/Quinn playlist that I play for such events such as writing fic. WHUT?! MURPH, GET OUT OF MY BRAIN.
YES. SONGS. FOR. ME.
Twinkles, I love you.
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
HOLY FUCKING LYRICS.
It's for Quinn.
IT'S MADE FOR QUINN.
Puck had some crazy eyes going on in that. AND I DUG IT.
My heart stopped for a second right here: BECAUSE HE WAS IN HER FACE AND THEN SHE SHIMMIED AND YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS.
UNF.
BUT OMG SAM IF YOU COME IN HERE AND WRECK THIS, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!
Quinn in uniform will never stop making me happy. I'm just sayin'.
And I much prefer it to 'Sweet Caroline' for many reasons but really only because it was to QUINN. EE.
But it was all nice and fun and Guh. I love these kids. I really do.
And it felt very much like Mark's comfort zone when it comes to performing-- kind of fun, kind of sexy. ALL GOOD.
MARK, I WANT YOUR BABIES!
YOUR LIZARD BABIES!
I would also like to say that I really enjoy the Artie/Mike/Tina triangle background work.
I think when they write for them they do it wrong, but the background stuff isn't all that rehearsed and stuff and sometimes the camera just picks up what the actors are doing on their own. GENIUS. It makes them all very cute and angsty in a teenage way.
Burt, I love you.
Don't diiiiiiie.
I LOVE YOU. KURT LOVES YOU. MRS HUDSON LOVES YOU.
Side: Kurt has a perfect little puppet face. It is made out of plastic, I'm telling you.
OMG: TINY WILL/EMMA MOMENT. That was so perfect.
You see what I mean?
These writers, they just know how to do subtle? It's all the other shit they mess up.
But like that moment, it was about comfort, it was about needing each other. It wasn't HOLY!SHIT!I!AM!MAKING!A!SPEECH!TO!NEGATE!MY!EARLIER!DOUCHEBAGGERY!
It was tender, and sweet. GRRRRRR.
Mr. Fucking. Colfer. You are perfection.
And his wonderful doll face.
THEN FINN SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT A GENIE AND I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE.
OMG. How crazy is that?
I swear, I WROTE IT FIRST.
And I like Finn's Dashboard Confessional poster.
Aw, Britt-Britt. Thinking your book report can help.
BE MORE ADORABLE, OKAY?!
There were bees on it! That's almost as specific and wonderful as a teabag in the cereal!
Ow. Finn, why do you be a douche when I don't want you to be?
But again, sixteen year old boy. Selfish prick. Get it.
And it comes from love. From needing love. lmao.
MERCEDES/TINA/QUINN. HEAD BITCHES OF THE WORLD UNITE.
I LOOK TO YOU
What makes me sad is that I know Mercedes has a good voice, nay an amazing voice. I just hate that it does nothing for me.
Let's have Santana sing it!
So I'm listening and I'm about to say: "Oh, it's nice that she just reigned it in." and then she tries to burst my eardrum with crazy pipes. lmao. Sucks for you, Mercedes.
From a filming perspective, I really hate the er, block zooms Glee uses. I get it. They have faces. Do I really have to be inches from them?
Oh, and then Kurt has that really tragic way of being all: NO GOD FOR ME.
And I'm like "buzzkill" but then I remember Burt and I think okay. haha.
But I did really like the line about erm, not wanting a heavenly father just wanting his real one.
Oh, again, another side: I like the Quinn sat next to him.
Even if she did get all BITCH WHUTT?!
Especially that she got all BITCH WHUTT?!
I am confused about Rachel's sexuality. I'm just sayin'
First she's all, GIRLS WANT SEX and then she's macking with Puck and Finn and thinking about macking with Sunshine, I know this, and then being all NO SEX FOR ME.
And I'm not saying you can't not have sex and not have these opinions, I'm just saying that you also need some consistency/explanation.
But, y'all know I love Le Berry. I do, however, think she is being ever-so-slightly douchetastic.
But then Finn's a douche, she's a douche, everyone's a douche-douche.
AND THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE. OH THE DIFFERENCE. MY GOD, THAT WAS FANTASTICALZ.
Seriously, I think that was my favourite shot ever.
BERRY, DON'T PROSTITUTE YOUR BOOBS FOR FAITH.
It ain't right.
IT'S THE CHEESUS.
But actually when you think of it, it's really not about the boobs when he says it, so I guess she's just giving him a little treat.
Ow, did anyone else love that little look from San to Britt where she was all: N'awww. Look at her.
I KNOW THAT EMMA IS SO WONDERFUL NOW BECAUSE OF CARL.
(WHERE IS CARL?!?! STAMOS?! STAMOS?!)
OW. Sue. How do you rock the amazing things you rock?
She is so gorgeous and lovely but not in a 'look at my bubblegum centre' way, just in a 'this is how it fucking is, shit just got real'.
And just-- omg, she has three scenes in quick succession and she is fabulous in all of them.
THAT'S RIGHT. MILEY CANNOT WIN. MARTYR.
YEAH THOSE BOOBS ROCK. Ahem.
BROMANCE. IT'S ALIVE.
FIRST SLASHING TYRES TO DEFEND THEIR HONOUR. AND NOW SPIRITUAL TALKS. IT'S BRILLIANT. It's everything I could want.
And Puck is delish.
And it's really cool how they show Puck being pretty moral and Finn not, but it's not that he's immoral, he's just selfish. It's all really nicely balanced.
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
How much do I adore her for never giving up the opportunity to sing Streisand? ALOT. Because that's me.
Awkward though. Just hear me on that one.
It'd be weird if your partner asked you to do that.
Sometimes I would forget that she'd staged it all, and then her little bedazzled stereo would come in shot.
WHY IS THIS NOT A SINGLE?! CURSE YOU, GLEE GODS!
It was pretty gorgeous and sweeping. SWEEPING, I TELLZ YA.
But it's Lea singing Yentl. It was going to be.
Actually, do you know what I love? When you watch Cory watch her, and I think he's just sort of awe-struck in her presence, which is pretty gorgeous. And fits Finn as well, I think. So it's lucky.
SAM JUST FUCK OFF!!!!!!!
I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
I am really really excited for this song.
I just am.
I really liked the way it was in 'Across The Universe'; the different meaning it took on. And when I heard he was singing this song, but I didn't know when, I was like TO HIS NEW GAY BOYFRIEND?! YES! But it's not, and that's okay because this might be nicer.
Okay, so I'm crying.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
I loved it. I really really loved it. Will never stop crying.
Loved flashbacks, despite how cheap they can be. But these were pretty amazing. AND WHO THE FUCK IS THIS CHILD ACTOR AND IS HE RELATED TO CHRIS?!?! SERIOUSLY?!
LOOK AT HIM! WHO IS THAT?! lmao
And I loved seeing Rachel Berry sobbing because it was amazing, and Quinn doing the patented eyelash flutter. And EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.
At this point, my lights started to flicker. And I think it was like that moment in the green mile where John Coffee is all AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! and the emotions make the lights and shit flicker.
I mean, I'm not sure but I think my pain made the lights go weird.
But more importantly, I thought I was about to lose all my fucking GLEE REVIEW AND THE VIDEO WAS GOING TO DIE AND MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
But then it didn't.
Luckily.
BUT THEN IT DID. ARGH. RAGE.
AND I SPENT ALL LAST NIGHT THINKING FUCK IF I'VE LOST IT ALL IMMA CUT SOMEONE.
I didn't lost it all, by the way. lmao.
But then I watched that particular song again, and it became just so much more.
I think ol' Chris Colfer is pretty marvellous.
Like, he may not be the strongest vocally and all, but my gosh, does he rock those emotional, crying whilst singing scenes.
And like, GUH.
Oh, Kurt.
I've had to wait fucking 24 hours to see if your dad dies, if anyone shares your pain it's me!!
I also really loved how Rachel was gripping Finn's arm, for support. GUH.
You may not do physical contact like St. Berry, but it's pretty cool.
LOSING MY RELIGION
Okay, so erm-- here's where I confess to really quite like REM.
Eek.
Not in 'OMG I MUST BUY ALL THEIR ALBUMS' way, but I may own a greatest hits. lmao.
So erm-- OMG. CORY, STOP GETTING BETTER, IT FRIGHTENS ME.
Oh, and if you don't want people to ship you and Kurt, don't stare at him from library shelves.
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
How white is Kurt in that room? lmao.
Anyways-- I really hate what she did to the song.
It kind of makes me angry.
So I'm not talking about it anymore.
OMG. Sue asking her sister to pray for her.
Asking her because she wants faith and she wants guidance but she just can't get it.
Guh. Lynchy-woo. You rock.
And then Oh, when Kurt finally breaks down-- really, to his dad. To the one person who he has faith in. It's pretty amazing.
Because you see that Kurt has no one else really, not like this person who might be dying.
And who didn't know there wasn't going to be shot of him squeezing back?! JUST WHO?!
ONE OF US
TINA IS SINGING.
And looking fabulous, just let me say.
All red lips and curly hair. And abtastic bf behind her.
MERCEDES FUCK OFF AND STOP RUINING SONGS FOR ME.
Let Naya sing. She doesn't make me want to punch walls.
Is that Kurt/Tina or Kurt/Quinn? or someone else. Because I know hear a female voice in there, but it's not strong enough to be Mercedes. But it sounds pretty lovely enough to be one of those two. Hm. Get back to me on that.
EVERYONE'S IN WHITE. BEAUTIFUL.
And they look like GAP commercial.
And then Brittany's leaning on Finn all sexy-sexy.
omg. omg. omg.
TO SUMMARISE:
* Puck looked pretty hotty McHottHott in this episode.
And there was a shimmy from Quinn while he sang their song, and I may have came in my pants.
May have.
IT IS JUST BELOW I'M NOT A BABY for in-song-sexiness.
* Mercedes, you enrage me, to the utmost.
Especially for killing one of the most beautiful and classic songs ever.
I can't help it, it just has a lot of like ~EMOtional resonance with me.
* KURT, I LOVE YOU. AND YOUR DAD. AND I WANT HIM FOR MY OWN.
Chris just rocked this episode. Even in bits that were written a little 'ehh', he still kept it going. Very cool.
* TINA GOT A SONG.
* Aw, Finn in religious disarray is pretty fantasticalz.
As was the Finchel. I don't know if it was Yentl or what, but they were so cute.
* Quinn, you're pretty amazing.
* As is Sue.
* Music was very awesome and story-led. Not crazy thematic nonsense.
COME ON, VIRGINIA, DON'T LET ME WAIT.
* I need to write so many various fics right now.
One of them is St. Berry, and I don't know how they popped up, but they are never inappropriate! EVER.
I think the only problem with this episode was that it was always on that verge of drifting into Home-territory with saccharine-sweet badness. But then it never did.
And, for me, the only part where it got a little EMOSHOW was when the comedic storyline of Grilled Cheesus became the emotional one. But even then it was kind of salvaged with awesome REM-ness. OH YES. STIPE FANS UNITE.
HOWEVER, I REALLY LOVED IT.
And I actually think it's one of the best Glee episodes yet, not the favourite necessarily, but one of the more cohesive and flowing.
EEEEEE!! STREISAND AND GARLAND DUET NEXT WEEK!
UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNF.
