2x04 Glee Review
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVED BEST ABOUT GLEE?!
ALL THE THINGS!
I am bracing myself for Sam/Quinn; because people are saying it’s good things, but I just don’t-- I don’t know.
I CANNOT ABANDON THEM.
But then Puck did try to steal an ATM.
WHUTTTT?!
Aw, I’m getting One Tree Hill-esque scenes where he was really doing it so he could support the baby from afar, and then Quinn goes to see him and holds her hand up against the glass up against his hand and the LOVE.
But then what I think will happen is that Mark will come back. And there’ll be a triangle.
And one thing I do love about the hiatus is the room I have to write fic without damn canon messing me up.
Also how much do I love it that Finn is all WE NEED HIS VOICE AND BAD BOY STAGE PRESENCE because this is what happens when you team up with Le Berry, making out means a transfer of powers and you will suddenly start thinking about what lighting does what for your skin tone.
I do have this weird love for how involved Quinn was in the convo.
LINES. LINES.
Sam, you’re a dork.
You need some game to get with the Fabray.
SECOND TIME THAT BRITTANY ANSWERS AND FINN BELIEVES HER.
BB, you need to start reading a dictionary.
Not you, Britt. You never. But Finn.
His hopes keep getting dashed.
OH NO, KURT. DO NOT GET YOUR HEART BROKEN.
YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH.
Santana’s love for breadsticks is amazing.
I HAVE TO WIN.
Aw, Sam and Kurt, I want you to work.
More to the point, I want Kurt to have a boy as a friend who is not trying to be a surrogate son to his papa.
I WANTS TO GET MY MACK ON.
Youz is ghetto fabulous, m’lady.
Aw, scissoring. Woah, Glee. Way to just work that in there.
Ow. I love it. Kurt is listening.
Because all my issues with last season are being resolved. Ryan has been reading my diary, like Britt’s cat.
DON’T GO BREAKING MY HEART
Another kink apparently of mine. FINN PLAYING DRUMS.
Boy is fiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Aw, look at Rachel learning things for herself. No forcies.
Finchel are being cute.
I love Rachel’s fringe.
Am I the only one that does not like what Tina and Artie have become?
It’s like the only way Ryan can write failing relationships is to make them horrible people, when in reality, some people just don’t work. Simple as.
BUT THEN CHICKEN FEET ARGUMENT. I DIG IT.
Artie is a robot, Britt.
A sexual robot.
ASIAN COUPLES THERAPY.
I want to go. I’m not even Asian, but I want to go.
AND I WANT CHICKEN FEET SALAD.
I am shipping Finn/Sam in a very strange way.
I think it’s beautiful football players. I think that’s what it is.
BUT-- I AM SAYING THIS.
If they don’t make Sam gay, they’re kind of wasting some brilliant foreshadowing here.
Aw, Sam gives words.
He’s a good boy.
AND for some reason, I have this strange Quinn kink where she washes slushie out of hair.
Puck, Rachel, now Sam. It’s all good.
I just want them to know and make it happen all the time.
AND SAM, I DID NOT ENJOY AVATAR. SO IF YOU THINK WATCHING IT SIX TIMES GETS YOU ON MY SIDE, YOU ARE INCORRECT, BRO.
INCORRECT!
I am enjoying some beautiful Quinn.
And yes, Sam, they are wonderful eyes.
BUT NOT IN FUCKING NA’VI.
OW, I love Kurt and Burt. And you guys know how I feel about rhyming names. So this is a big thing.
I like how they’re very open and honest with each other.
AND I LIKE HOW BURT IS TELLING HIM HOW HE IS AND KURT IS LISTENING AND IT’S WONDERFUL. And his hair looks fantastic.
Aw, now I’m craving vegan carrot soup.
RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH
Oh the voices. The diva voices.
Let’s let Santana do more awesome choreography.
AND WILL STOP ENJOYING THEIR BUTT-SHIMMY SO MUCH.
Save that love for Faberry.
Their voices were so loud and wonderful.
(Does it bug anyone that like-- everyone is in love with Amber’s voice? And no one like talks about Naya. AND HER FEIRCENESS.
But with Amber, it’s all ‘oh my God, religious experience’-- NOT COOL.)
I just have to say-- I think the Kurt and Sam flirting-- I’M GOING TO CALL IT FLIRTING-- is pretty awesome.
OMG. Finchel as dynamo plotters is amazing.
Offensive songs. OF COURSE.
ARTIE, CHANGE YOUR FUCKING JUMPER.
Rachel’s face falling is the serious shizznick.
Like- WHAT, NOT ME?!?!?!
But then she gets the loneliness of stardom. SHE GETS IT.
LE JAZZ HOT
Erm, anyone singing Julie Andrews is brave.
AND KURT IS BRAVE.
I love that Kurt has some kind of power over dancers, because he just seems to pull them out of nowhere.
Sammy-boy, youz is liking the Kurt.
But even if you’re not, I really like the idea that these two could be friends. Like platonic, homo-embracing friends. NICENESS.
Sam, youz is not clever.
And Quinn is HBIC.
And so discerning. She does the best discerning face. THE BEST.
And so embarrassed. Diana has these moments where I think, are you Quinn or Diana? And to me, that’s good acting. Because it’s always in really honest bits. Like when she watches Amber or Lea sing. Or when she’s laughing.
OMG. When he says “Do you know how to play?” And she says, No.
To me, it’s like-- OMG. It’s so much more than guitar. It’s-- Do you know how to flirt? Do you know how to do this relationship thing? Do you know how to be happy?
And she says NO.
Because she does not.
OMG. She’s freaking out. AH.
“Like I need you. I don’t need you.”
OH, look at that. Look at my lovely.
Look at her.
Cry with me, cry with her. Watch as she pushes everyone away.
And then he’s adorable. WHY AM I LIKING THEM!?!?!?!
“I’m mad at you. You’re still so hott.”
That doesn’t just go away, bb.
SING!
AW. SO CUTE.
This is potentially the only time I’ve ever really heard the gorgeous broadway tone to Jenna. They don’t really let her do stuff like that.
AND THE MOVES WERE SO ADORABLE.
AW. V. Cute.
Does anyone else think that Tina has this really nurturing quality in a relationship? Like she sort of pushes and pulls in all the best ways.
WHO WROTE THIS EPISODE? I NEED TO KILL THEM.
THEY’RE MAKING ME DOUBT MYSELF.
Oh, except Brittany loves Mike.
I know this.
BRITT YOUZ A STAN.
Aw, Finn, you’re awesome.
AND YES THOSE EYES WILL BEWITCH YOU.
I love that there is a shot of her making her eyes even more glorious than usual. MAKE-UP TIPS. HOW TO BE FIERCE.
THE BLONDES HAVE BEEN CONFUSED WITH THE COMPETITION.
Make her put sunglasses on. She looks amazing.
Is that Brittany’s room? SO CUTE.
Her mum designed that, yes?
I would tap that, Artie. Don’t you be hurtin’.
WITH YOU, I’M BORN AGAIN
OMG. IT IS OFFENSIVELY AMAZING.
IT’S RUN JOEY RUN LEVELS OF BADNESS. EXCEPT WITHOUT GROFF’S CRAZY ‘HE’S GOT A FUN’ EYES!
OMGGGGG I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
I keep watching it.
And is it strange that Finn in vicar's get-up is attractive?!?!?! NO, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
LUCKY
OMG. THEY’RE BLONDE AND WONDERFUL.
RIGHT, SAN-SAN, THEY ARE CHARMING. WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! Is it their beautiful Aryan ways?
I understand Artie’s hurt, but it’s just like-- I don’t know, she has killer abs, and that makes it really hard for me to think someone would regret having sex with her. Ever.
I love how Santana went all Jerry Springer on them.
THEY WON!
YES.
CHARM WILL BEAT ACTUAL VOCAL TALENT/ADORABILITY.
Ow. Rachel, you are so wonderful.
I love you.
I love your duet.
I LOVE YOU AND KURT.
Ow, they’re cute on their non-date. SO CUTE.
A SECRET LIKE BEING GAY?!
No? Oh. Right.
But OMG of course she makes him pay on the first date, because her last experience with a boy was so ungentlemanly that it’s not even funny. Of course she needs him to prove himself first. Of course he does just by not judging her. By being so the opposite of Puck (suave, manly, confident), by being geeky because she has to prove she’s more than the 16 and pregnant girl of last year.
It’s not that I prefer Sam/Quinn to Quinn/Puck, not even close.
I just like the idea of her with a good boy; because as hard as she tries to be the good girl, she’s really not. She’s a bully and manipulative and shy and awful and it’s all just a front, but it is who she is. And Puck fits that. She gets to hit Puck and hurt him and debase him. Make him be a worse person than herself because it’s all she has. But she can’t do that with Sam. She can’t make him awful because he’s not. SO THIS IS INTERESTING.
AND THEN THAT FINAL DUET:
I NEED THESE TWO TO BE FRIENDS BECAUSE THEIR DIVA-NESS IS LIKE A FUCKING MAGNET AND THEY SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BE STUCK TO EACH OTHER’S HIPS HARMONISING.
I am almost scared being this happy about a Glee episode.
Because it might lead to my heart being broken.
But if Quinn is Magenta, you don't have to worry.
Because that will be glorious.
