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

The sooner Tina just ****s off, the better.

 

[Sawyer]

The sooner Tina just ****s off, the better.

And I find it hilarious that, of course, the cringe-inducing kiss OBVIOUSLY must involve Tina.

 

[Sawyer]

A rerun of the twerking episode is on oxygen right now. All I needed to hear was Jake saying the words "our God-given right to twerk" to want to see this club lose everything while Sue Sylvester rage-urinates all over it's remains.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So sad how low this show has stooped.

I am surprised they arent releasing the songs till Monday. I'm interested to hear Santanas version of don't rain on my parade.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Well the songs are out, while Santanas version isn't as good as Rachels, it is still very enjoyable imo, though I think she could've pushed herself a little more and the music was to loud.

But this is my problem with Glee, they act like no other young singers live in NY. I need these people to have competition. Everyday should be like nationals for them.

 

[protocida]

Some spoilers.

Spoiler

Tina is accepted into Brown University and officially leaves the show.

Santana buys Brittany a train ticket to New York, because they axed half the cast and need to scramble for some supporting characters.

Sue and Holly try out for The Amazing Race.

Will receives an offer to coach Vocal Adrenaline and apparently takes it.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Will tells the glee club that they have two solos in nationals. Blaine will have one solo, but Artie & Tina will compete for the second spot.

Of course the two original members have to battle for a solo spot that should be theres without question.

RM: "Happy 100th Episode, you guys!... Half of you are unemployed starting next week!"

Still, Salling in uniform.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hmm. I haven't found Mark Salling attractive for years, but the uniform kind of helps.

"It is extraordinary. Glee on a good week is an amazing television show; Glee on a great week is something that transcends the medium and has been a cultural phenomenon."

And on a bad week, it's nothing short of an assault on my senses.

 

[Schlosser85]

Beginning my viewing with a distinct lack of enthusiasm and feeling of completist obligation.

I fast forwarded through Artie and Tina's scenes and duet. I just can't be bothered to waste minutes of my life on irrelevant characters anymore. Seriously, nobody cares about Artie or Tina. Including the writers, though they feel obligated to fulfill their quota of pretending to occasionally.

Beginning my viewing with a distinct lack of enthusiasm and feeling of completist obligation.

You and I are on the same page. I'm honestly waiting for the ratings to drop so low that Fox is just like "Yeeeeeeah, we might have jumped the gun by giving you a sixth season already" and just yanks it after this season ends.

It won't happen, but God, I can dream.

 

[Schlosser85]

I like "Brave" anyway, and I enjoyed Pezberry's duet. Unsurprisingly, the NYC scenes are again more worthwhile--or at least watchable--than the McKinley BS.

 

[Schlosser85]

This Valedictorian competition, not only is between characters NOBODY GIVES A **** ABOUT, but is contrived even by Glee standards. Skipping ahead again and hoping next scene lands me back in NYC where at least mildly entertaining **** occasionally happens.

So i found Rachel a bit god awful in this episode. Music was good though

 

[Schlosser85]

Still watching. Wow Rachel's reverting to a roaring diva, only to be taught a lesson by her friends. Because we've never seen that storyline before!

Oh Tina and Artie are dueting again. Joy.

Wow, I've finally gone completely into hate-watching mode.

 

[Sawyer]

Can we not have Kurt singing my favorite song by The Darkness ever again? Thanks.

Things I kept thinking about...

- This is ****ing live theater that people pay hundreds of dollars for, Rachel. In reality your role would have THREE understudies, and 2 swings.

- An understudy is generally in the ensemble, or plays a smaller role in the show. They're not billed as an understudy. Unless Santana was auditioning to be a swing... Speaking of Santana...

- I guess this was a non-equity audition, because the fact that one person couldn't sing, and another person was Santana... with not one squat of theater experience under her belt..

- Adam Lambert looks hideous. The hair/makeup/wardrobe folks really like making attractive men look disgusting.

- Artie continues to be an ******* chauvinist. First calling Tina "WOMAN" and the PUSHING HER WITH HIS HANDS during their number.

- Tina is just the worst.

- Just call it the Santana show and let her be the main focus.

Not the first time Rachel's been ridiculously uneducated about her lifelong obsession.

 

[Sawyer]

Seriously when did Sue Sylvester go from being the villain of the show to being the one I most relate to and agree with?





I mean, granted, I've always felt that way, but...

Seriously, is Ryan Murphy just being super meta and Sue is actually a member of the show's audience?

I don't know when it started for me. I wish I could just stop watching, but I'm such a stickler for finishing what I start.

I've been with this ridiculous insane bullcrap for five seasons, I can't let myself stop until the series finale.

I'm now up to "Don't Rain On My Parade". Santana's version isn't as good as Rachel's (unsurprisingly), but it's better than I would have expected it to be (not a knock against Santana's voice, which is actually one of my favorites, it's just far from her usual style).

This Pezberry catfight is contrived, but it's a lot more entertaining than Artie and Tina's "oh who cares" smackdown. Maybe because Rachel and Santana are better characters who some people actually care about, maybe because Lea and Naya can act.

 

[Schlosser85]

The Kurt/Elliott stuff is okay.

 

[Schlosser85]

Am I the only one who thinks Colfer and Lambert have a little whiff of chemistry?

 

[Sawyer]

Oh good, we've stumbled upon the worst by-product of this Artie/Tina rivalry: It's a win for Blaine.
