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

[Primal Slayer]

Two episodes without Marjayder was so nice. Though could the Tina/Blaine/Sam subplot be anymore stupid?

Rachel/Santana just had me laughing throughout the entire episode though so at least NY is decent. The one liners are on point. Though Dani/Demi is such a waste of a character which isn't a surprise. Which sort of sucks because Dani and Starchild are two types of characters that Glee hasnt really covered before.

Seeing Nayas hair without its extensions while she was working is just so weird, they put a whole lotta fake hair on her head.

Also, I see Glee forgot Will's not a history teacher anymore.

Honestly, I was skeptical of Adam Lambert joining, but have actually been finding him one of the moderately enjoyable parts of the last few episodes.

God, I can't wait to say goodbye to Tina and her random weepy meltdowns. They just make me want to slap her and tell her to suck it up already.

God, Will and Emma's song was such a snoozefest.

What is the point of having Demi Lovato on this show?

Glee manages to reduce Blaine to being even more a ridiculous man-child with each consecutive episode. He and Kurt are on whole different maturity levels nowadays. While Kurt has grown much more mature over the last few seasons, Blaine just keeps de-evolving (along with Sam).

The NY plot only seemed good because the Lima stuff was so ****ing bad. If the Rachel/Santana stuff had taken place in an overall good episode, we wouldn't all be looking at it so kindly. We'd be screaming for both of these regressing pain in the asses to kiss and make up already.

Jeez, exploring tumblr and there is all this speculation that Naya leaves the show after the 100th episode two parter. Doubt it's true of course with only 1 season left to go.

What in the holy mother is up with Quinns hair?

and thankfully looks like we will see Quinns thoughts on Finns death

So, um...

That was... life-changing.

 

[Schlosser85]

This is why I LOL at when Glee tries to pretend Chris Colfer isn't attractive.

The smiley had me expecting Naya doing something sexy.

 

[Schlosser85]

I think that would excite you more than me or Sawyer.

 

[Sawyer]

Eh, even I'm not immune to a hot Naya pic, but she wouldn't be my first choice.

 

[Sawyer]

In the interest of fairness...

 

[Schlosser85]

Honestly, that's not the best pic I've ever seen of her.

 

[Schlosser85]

And now after that video, I have images of somebody trying to mug Colfer and him whipping out his Sai and going all ninjutsu on their ass.

 

[Sawyer]

I can't get the sunglasses/tank top combo out of my mind...

 

[Schlosser85]

Chris has definitely done a good job growing up.

I remember early in Season 3 when Emma was defending the idea of Kurt as Tony in West Side Story, and said "I'd love to be held in Kurt's toothpick arms".

Her comment made no freaking sense, because we'd just seen Chris Colfer hanging upside down and hauling himself all over the place on bars, twirling his Sai daggers, and showing off probably the most bare arms he'd ever shown on Glee, and making it obvious they were decidedly not toothpick.

One of many, many examples of Glee acting like it's in some weird parallel dimension where its characters are either much less or much more attractive than it expects us to believe they are. Like we were laughably supposed to think Lea Michele was so undesirable, or the incessant fat jokes about Finn for no apparent reason, or the really bizarre way they ugly up Darren Criss as much as possible and yet persist in acting like he's a dreamboat.

It's the Ryan Murphy school of dealing with actors. Hey, I want you under my thumb? I guess I better play on your insecurities and exaggerate them until kingdom come.

He really does have some weird sadistic streak of mocking his actors' physical appearances. He's done it with everything from Cory Monteith and Amber Riley's weight to Chris Colfer's tiny teeth to Lea Michele's nose to Matt Morrison's "butt chin".

You'd better grow a thick skin if you're gonna be an actor on Glee.

 

[Sawyer]

The thing about Finn's weight never made a lick of goddamn sense to me. Sure, he wasn't sculpted into the peak of physical perfection, but the way they kept harping on it, he might as well have look like this...

 

[Schlosser85]

Honestly, given how incessantly Murphy had Sue and Santana harp on Finn supposedly being fat (which he never was in the first place, at any point in time), I can't help but wonder if he gave Cory Monteith some kind of complex or self-esteem issues.

And let's not forget Trouty Mouth. Good God was that dead horse pulverized into glue...

And let's not forget Trouty Mouth. Good God was that dead horse pulverized into glue...

That's generally how I feel about alot of the running bits the show does. They were funny-ish early on, and now it's just like "alright, find some new ****ing material." Trouty mouth, Lima Heights, Brittany apparently being an idiot savant, Tina crying at the drop of a hat, Becky (who I can't believe actually started out as a sweet girl) generally being an intolerable pain in the ass every time she's on the screen, etc.

 

[Primal Slayer]

trouty mouth and lima heights are just two catchphrases that stick with the characters. Everyone has something that they say a lot.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The disdain Murphy has for Jenna Ushkowitz drips off the screen, this weeks crappy storyline with her, Blaine and Sam being no exception.

The Rachel vs Santana stuff was better and I liked how each of them were actually right about each other, they kind of need to be girlfriends as no other girls will put up with their attitudes!

Elliot is a good character addition and I'd forgotten about Demi Levato's character whose hair got considerably bluer between her two scenes this week.

Musically I quite enjoyed the ep.

I think that would excite you more than me or Sawyer.

I feel like an idiot lol, I actually never realized Sawyer was gay, in fact I just picture him in a room with a large bank of TV monitors as he follows all the shows going, no time for anything else!

Eh, even I'm not immune to a hot Naya pic, but she wouldn't be my first choice.

Of the female cast members?

In the interest of fairness...

She looks great here and on the show, way better than she's looked at recent events with her hair dyed and too much eye make-up on.
