Glee Episode V: The Sylvester Strikes Back - - - - - Part 14

[Schlosser85]

I am scared for S6, I think they turn it into a clusterf.............if you get my drift with it not having a set location and Sam/Rachel/Blaine getting majority of the storylines (if you believe Murphy)

Well Lea, Darren, and Chord also keep joking around among themselves on Twitter tweeting stuff like #daleastreet (combo of their names).

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't have a problem with Rachel, Blaine, and Sam continuing to be central (I didn't expect anything else anyway), but I don't want Kurt and Santana tossed on the backburner.

 

[Sawyer]

Kurt getting the shaft is something I don't believe Ryan would ever do. And my expectations of that guy in regard to this show are low as ****.

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't know, Kurt kind of got shafted through a lot of Season 3. And Blaine has been getting more focus than him since early Season 4.

Kristen Schaal will guest star in the #Glee season finale, playing the famous TV writer. Rachel will go out for a TV pilot during 4/29 ep.

Hazel Wassername, you're too good for this.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Now why couldn't they stick with santana becoming an actress like naya wanted.

 

[Sawyer]

Primal, you should know by now that everything the writers do is done for the sole purpose of making you angry.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I know! They are lucky I don't love in cali.

 

[RiXi]

Daniel Finn Schuester. Nice.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Well this episode was 3x better than the last two thank the lord.

Santanas back and it shows, everything improved. Her intro back to the show was probably the funniest part of the episode.

The constant Rachel Berry love was making me nauseous. I could stand majority of it but when they got to the club and they were OMG Rachel BERRY! was just to much. I did like the club scene apart from that though.

No surprise that Rachel got a RAVE 5 star review with her being flawless in every way possible.

But this episode did have plenty of little surprises with Rachels lil dream sequence (which tried a bit hard to be comedic) with Karofsky and Jewfro showing up. And Rachels little memory of Finn was touching.

And they just found their way in to move Sue to NY at least part time if they wish. Sues corner should've been a main staple of this show.

 

[SpideyFan866]

I thought her Funny Girl performance was kinda bad.

I was expecting for the episode to end with her being ripped apart by the critics, and her regretting leaving Nyada.

 

[flash13]

The episode was really mediocre, looks like we're back to that.

 

[Schlosser85]

Too much Rachel and too much Sue.

I know it was Rachel's big night, but her voice, as good as it is, gets tiresome and really kinda boring when it's most of the episode.

They couldn't get Peter Facinelli and Ioan Gruffudd back?

It's getting increasingly obvious that they pimp out flashbacks of Cory to get an emotional reaction.

Santana's return is dearly welcome.

I notice everybody's families and friends have been making cameos lately. Lea's dad was in a recent episode, Colfer's boyfriend was in Kurt and Blaine's mime class, Amber's mom was in the gospel choir, and last night Darren's parents were sitting behind Kurt and Blaine during Funny Girl.

 

[Schlosser85]

The writers seem to continue to think Sue is this indispensable scene-stealer and comedic highlight when she hasn't been that since Season 2 at best and nowadays is usually just ****ing annoying.

 

[Primal Slayer]

On the subject of parents, how the hell were Rachels 2 gay dads and Shelby not there? I mean really?

 

[Schlosser85]

Lol, where was the director and male lead?

 

[Sawyer]

I've missed out on the last two episodes in a row.


It's kinda nice...

You know what I hate about everything that's wrong with this show? Is that the writers are AWARE of it, and JOKE ABOUT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SHOW, yet STILL DO IT.

The latest example was how we're aparently back to 1950, where a review is published in a newspaper. First of all, it's a Broadway show... those have things called PREVIEWS. That's when the critics attend the show, before it official opens, and write their review so that it can be published right after the show opens (aka, 1030PM or earlier that night) on their websites.

The guy at the newsstand even had a comment about how stupid it was for them to be waiting for the Times (which would have hit the stand when he opened at 4 or 5 am when it's still dark out...).


So the writers can constantly joke about how dumb their writing is all the time, yet they still write like morons.

They also constantly joke about how god-awful Tina is.. How Blaine and Rachel always get every song... how characters come and go with no notice, etc etc. Yet they still do all of those things. "But it's funny cause we're self-aware!!" Gimme a break.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Santana/Mercedes back at it again


I am surprised that Glee went out of their comfort by picking this song.

 

[Sawyer]

June Squibb, Tim Conway, and Billy Dee Williams are in the episode of Glee I wrote!!!

It’s a production of “Peter Pan” you’ll never forget! #OldDogsNewTricks

Da f*** is happening...

 

[Primal Slayer]

Da f*** is happening...

What kind of low budget Peter Pan is Kurt puttin on! I will be surprised if they don't exploit more of Chris' body in the final thing.

Wow this show is cutting it soooo close on production, they still havent finished ep 19.

But in other news, Naya isn't blonde anymore!

I am sure RM and co. are "happy" that they actually took the time to write in her hair change only for her to get rid of it while they are working on ep 19/20.

 

[Schlosser85]

Colfer makes kind of a hot Peter Pan. There, I said it.

 

[Hunter Rider]

This ep might as well have been called Rachel: The pilot. Yet the piece of it they give to another character is devoted to some creepy Sue angle that went nowhere.

At least Rachel was mostly a real person again this week and Santana lifted things.

Honestly for selfish reasons I wish Naya would leave, I think she could shine on a much better show and isn't as dependent on the musical aspect as Lea.

Looking at the duet from next week Amber can really rap.

 

[Schlosser85]

Rachel's opening nightmare was....weird. Random Karofsky was random. Not sure how the song fit anything, except to shoehorn in yet another Rachel song, as if she didn't already dominate the songs this episode.

So Schuester is still at McKinley. Guess he didn't take/get the Vocal Adrenaline job?

I was enjoying this episode more before Schue and Sue showed up. They just feel shoehorned in and unnecessary anymore...kind of how they've been since Season 2, only even more so.

Santana made a great entrance.

Ugh at Sue being shoehorned so unnecessarily and excessively into an episode that rightfully centers on Rachel (or should center on Rachel, not split between Rachel and Sue). And I'm sorry....there are plenty of gay actors who can believably play straight characters. Jane Lynch is not one of them.

Hi Schue. Bye Schue. What was the point of him even being in this episode?

They couldn't get Peter Facinelli and Ioan Gruffudd back for one more episode?

I did like the long tracking shot Rachel dressed as Fanny Bryce walking from her dressing room down the stairs onto the stage, and the curtain going up.

I know he'd never do it in an actual production, but is it wrong that I actually preferred Kurt's rendition of "I'm the Greatest Star" from Season 3 better than Rachel's?

Sue's heckling is so annoying and unnecessary. Just shut up Sue. You're not being remotely funny, no matter what the writers think. Picking on kids in high school is one thing. Randomly barging into their lives in another state after graduation to heckle and insult one of their Broadway opening nights is a whole other level of not okay.

Way to send her stress levels skyrocketing halfway through the show, Sydney.

Jane Lynch doesn't sing her part of "Who Are You Now" that badly, but could she be any more annoyingly shoved into a song that rightfully belongs to Rachel? Who seriously cares about this Sue/Mario thing?

And the one obligatory quick Finn flashback. Because it wasn't already clear she was thinking about Finn. They need to chill with pimping footage of Cory out every time they want to provoke an emotional reaction from the audience like Pavlovian dogs. It's gotten distasteful by how blatant it is that they just use it to get a reaction.

Ugh, Rachel, blowing off the cast party that your producer (and boss) is throwing on your opening night? Rude. Bad form. Just as inappropriate as Sue walking out. In a way worse, because Rachel is part of the production and just blew everybody off, including the people she answers to.

The gay bar scene was fun though. Maybe Tina can find a new boyfriend there.

Tina didn't get thrown under the bus too much this episode, apart from putting her foot in her mouth when she first came in the door.

lol @ Sue's "well I suddenly don't feel very welcome here anymore". 1) No one invited your bitter old ass, and 2) You went out of your way to be rude before, during, and after Rachel's Broadway opening night, and now you're ******** that, gasp, shock, Rachel doesn't want you in her apartment? Sue is terrible at taking the tiniest dose of her own medicine that she dishes out almost 24/7.

This show is so schizophrenic. Were we supposed to care about Sue's romance with Mario, but also applaud Rachel for telling her how vile she is and kicking her out? Because I don't think you can have it both ways.

Jane Lynch and Chris Parnell's kissing was gross. Trying a little hard, Jane? Also, this entire mini-romance proves totally pointless, making it an even more annoying side distraction.

 

[Schlosser85]

They've literally built up to Rachel's Broadway debut for pretty much the entire series, and the episode centering on it cuts away from it to spend an inordinate amount of time on...Sue, of all people? Ick.
