Because of a tragic VHS recording mishap, I didn't get to see 90210 last night. Sad face. Maybe it's on demand or something? I don't think it is. Sigh. I did, however, get to see Glee, so at least I can write about that, and please all you Glee-maniacs or Gleeniacs or whatever the kids are saying these days. Glee neither enraged nor thrilled me last night. It just kind of happened in front of me, and some things I liked while other things I did not. So, here goes!
Things I liked:
-Both the sectionals songs that New Directions did were great. I love anything that reminds me of Dirty Dancing, and Tina and Mercedes killed "Dog Days Are Gone"! Good stuff.
-The Hipsters singing "The Living Years" which I always mistake to be my brother Tom's graduation song, even though I am pretty sure it wasn't actually.
-Britanny and Artie! From the magic comb, to the 'adultery misunderstanding' to her telling him she was dancing for him, these two were hilarious and genuinely sweet all night. Maybe these two crazy kids really can make it work!
-Rachel and Finn getting "couples counseling". Jayma Mays was great in this scene! I loved her little "no no no no" to Finn as he was agreeing with Rachel that Santana is "super hot". (Agreed on that one Finn!)
-Also super hot? Puck. Just saying.
-The newest member of New Directions! "I'm not nervous. You know why? Because show choir is stupid."
-Will being non-awful AND yelling at Rachel for being a jerk. Best Will episode in a long long while.
-Rachel speaking and acting like a normal human being in her scene with Kurt. More of that please!
-Kurt having a tough time fitting in with The Warblers. They seem a little cultish to me.
-Emma marrying "the finest dentist who ever lived"!!
-That Tina refers to her boyfriend as "Mike Chang".
-"Asian kiss."
Things I did not like:
-Rachel/Finn/Santana/Puck. Actually, I was fine with it until the whole "Rachel made out with Puck" revelation, because that was dumb.
-No Sue! No one likes that.
-Emma making some kind of weird unsure face like maybe she is still in love with stupid Will. Um, you're married to John Stamos now, just shut up and be happy. Also, Will is gross.
-What was the point of the whole speech to Kurt about The Warblers needing to "fit in and not stand out" when they are basically just a backing group for Darren Criss?! He was standing out a bit, it seemed to me.
-The fact that this episode was just dropped on us without any build up whatsoever. Way to get me excited for Sectionals! I was not at all excited, because the fact that they were going to be competing soon was nothing more than a throwaway line in the last 4 "Kurt Hummel is the most amazing person ever ever ever" eps.
-The fact that The Hipsters were not played by the Young @ Heart Choir. Come on! They need to be on this!
-A tie? I mean I get that this is for dramatic purposes so there is more competing against Kurt, but man, they pretty much just beat one group. Not that impressive really.
-Are these people friends or do they hate each other? Because to be honest, I don't have any desire to cheer on a bunch of awful people who hate each other.
Next week:
Previews are like mind-wipes to me, so I cannot remember! Um, singing is my guess though.

Agreed, on so many points!

I really loved this episode, because I thought it made people less hate-able. Except Rachel, who is just the worst really. Her character is so ridiculously flat. She never ever ever learns. And she doesn't change at all. Even when you think she's making progress she is really just making it look like progress to further her agenda to be the beloved star.
I love Quinn and the guy who has a mouth like a bass. Their song was sweet. I loved Santana. That chick is hot. Seriously, like ridiculously hot. If Puck really did cheat on her in real life, everyone should have egged his car for being such an idiot. If I had seen him drive by I would have thrown an egg at him.
I loved the scene where Kurt is singing and doing the Evita hands and his soon to be boyfriend was like um, no, don't do that.
Brittany is the best! I would like a show that just had Brittany, Artie, Santana and Puck and that new girl on it. Oh and Kurt's dad. Oh and John Stamos. Oh and Sue of course.
