Glee Episode V: The Sylvester Strikes Back - - - Part 12

[Sawyer]

Is this Jessica Sanchez chick even that good, or will this just be a female Finn Hudson situation?

Glee: Fox has already made renewal announcements on the bulk of their lineup, save for Glee. However, Gleeks need not fret. A Fox source promises that it's "coming back for sure"; the only thing holding up the announcements are negotiations.

Fourth song for All or Nothing is "All or Nothing", an original song sung by Marley and Blaine.

In All or Nothing, a couple is getting married, a character is leaving the show, and the identity of "Katie" is revealed.

Spoiler

Blaine doesn't propose to Kurt. He wants to, but is eventually convinced it's not right.

Brittany is accept into MIT and is absent in Wonder-Ful because she's visiting the campus.

Artie is accept in a film school in New York City.

 

[Sawyer]

Congratulations, Blaine. You're smarter than Finn was.

 

[Schlosser85]

Like that's a challenge. Glad he doesn't go through with it though. Even if they reunite in the finale, that's way too fast for a proposal.

Some thoughts on "Sweet Dreams":

- I have more criticisms of this episode than the last few

- Glee once again has Will randomly turn into a jackass and Finn regress once again into a man-child, so they can have them learn heartwarming life lessons. Although I will admit to being happy they made up and Finn is back in the choir room (though now how are they going to explain him away in the finale?).

- could the college scenes have been any more tiresomely stereotypical and caricaturish if they tried? Also, Puck is a pure party boy one scene, then whips around and gives a speech about responsibility because it's called for in the script.

- Idina, really? That was it? I thought she'd have more than one walk-on scene. Disappointing. This show treats her so badly.

- "Don't Stop Believing" was a nice callback to the pilot. One of the things this season's actually been decent at, especially in the later episodes.

- Will's comment about Unique's boobs and his later "lookin' goooood" was so creepy and inappropriate. The makers of the Pedo!Will memes just got some juicy ammunition. I'm sure someone, somewhere is hard at work right now.

- Sam's (Australian? English?) twin Evan Evans was tiresome and overused. Poor Chord. The sheer silliness and indignity they subject this cast to sometimes.

- NeNe Leakes continues to mistake inflectionless shouting into the camera with acting. Roz is so obnoxious that about 5 seconds of her make you want Sue back ASAP. Darren and Lauren Potter repeating her oath was funnier than she herself.

 

[Sawyer]

You're making me glad I decided to watch Parks and Rec instead.

 

[Schlosser85]

Also....Finn is a better teacher than Will.

 

[flash13]

Will was just terrible in this episode. I really hate how they made him act because I'm one of his few fans.

Glee Renewed For Fifth AND Sixth Seasons

Didn't see a two season order coming...

 

[Primal Slayer]

Didnt see that coming either. I wouldn't be surprised if this means that they will be touring next season as a way to gain FOX more money.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'm surprised by Season 6 too. I was thinking 5 would be the last season.

Second time tonight someone has saved me typing, agreed on all of this, the stuff with Rachel auditioning overall was the only good aspect of this episode.

I thought Marley's first song should have been a small acoustic number, instead her first go at song writing revealed an overproduced Dianne Warren-style number.

This was the first ep where Unique referred to himself as trans and talked about taking hormones though I believe, so one character in the Glee group got some unforced progression.

Meredith Baxter and Patty Duke, on set for the season finale as a lesbian couple

 

[SpideyFan866]

I'm surprised by Season 6 too. I was thinking 5 would be the last season.

This. I was positive 5 would be the end, or at least, the beginning of it.

They must have alot of faith in the direction the show is going in.

 

[Sawyer]

Especially considering the ratings haven't exactly been spectacular and critically, it's not on top of its game.

 

[flash13]

Glee still has songs in the top 100 on iTunes every week it airs and I don't know what the DVD sales are but I'm sure they're big. Fox probably took that stuff into account when they renewed it.

 

[Schlosser85]

Yea, Glee isn't the pop culture phenom it was when it began, but it still has at least halfway decent, if not "great" ratings and it's an easy money-maker when you consider all the iTunes sales it churns out on a weekly basis.

 

[Hush]

Two season order surprises me too but hopefully it gives them enough time to wrap it up instead of just being cancelled this season.

 

[Primal Slayer]

This season has averaged about 6mill viewers which is still good considering the state of most of FOXs shows. And why is Blaine in his warbler get up? Flashback?

 

[Schlosser85]

It's not a Warbler uniform, just similar colors. It's not a Dalton tie, and no Warbler emblem on the jacket.

 

[Sawyer]

I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I'm really genuinely shocked that, as we're closing in on the end of the season, they've had yet to cover any of Taylor Swift's recent stuff. Alot of it I figured would be like catnip for Murphy.

 

[flash13]

Sam was actually going to sing I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift in Guilty Pleasures but they changed it to Barry Manilow and Copacabana.

 

[Sawyer]

Probably would've seemed less WTF-worthy than Manilow, so they changed it up.
