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

[Schlosser85]

Sue REALLY wants Kurt and Blaine back together again. So, to that end, she locks them both together in an elevator.
Part of the locking-in-the-elevator plan has Sue scaring them as a Jigsaw-like character (from the Saw movie series). She rides a little bike.

 

[Sawyer]

That musical number on AHS tonight was better than anything they've trotted out on Glee in YEARS.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It's pretty clear they lost all interest in Glee, I still laugh at Naya saying how the newbies just get to sing and run around doing whatever during performances compared to what they used to have to do some serious choreography. And we rarely get true emotional songs/performances from them.

 

[Prison Mike]

I miss when they would do original choreography and not just rip it off from the music videos. The season 4 newbies would just reenact the music videos of whatever songs they were doing that week and that was just lazy.

 

[Schlosser85]

Or just randomly run around the auditorium.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I guess one member of the cast gets along with Lea.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Lol, it seems like they are only hanging out because they are currently filming together.

 

[flash13]

Lol, it seems like they are only hanging out because they are currently filming together.

They started hanging out together after Becca's boyfriends death actually.

 

[Primal Slayer]

That makes sense

 

[Sawyer]

I was looking at an interview with Bill Lawrence (the creator of Scrubs and Cougar Town) from about three and a half years back, and I found this...

Do fans ruin shows?
BL: No and yes. Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can. If your show chooses to change direction creatively, that's the showrunner. Part of walking the line as showrunner is trying to please people and still be true to what you believe creatively. Glee is a good example. My daughter still loves it; it's her favorite show. But it stopped being a show I would watch because I don't think they pay attention to character or story enough anymore. But who am I to say? It's a juggernaut and they're literally printing money.

I think this has to be the first time I've seen another creator basically pinpoint the problem with what the show has become. And this was an interview released around the time of the end of S2, when the show was still moderately acceptable and not the complete s***show it is now.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So much truth. But after all these years, looking back Glee didnt stand a chance. RM gets bored very quickly with his shows which is why a show like AHS is perfect for him since its practically a new show every season and keeps semi excited. Not to mention that Brad and Ian don't seem strong enough or interested in running a show with so much potential. If only FOX had the balls to replace them or bring in someone to help steer the show back in the right direction.

 

[Sawyer]

It's funny to think how lovingly we'd be talking about the show today if it had been cancelled after those 13 episodes. Without being tainted by getting worse season-by-season, people would be talking about it the same way they talk about Firefly/Freaks and Geeks/Pushing Daisies/etc.... instead of being that show that was good for awhile and a smashing success and then it got steadily worse and everyone outside the die-hard fans (who hate it too) stopped caring about.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Yeah it's very bittersweet. I just wish I could hear the casts thoughts when they read a script, Colfer probably rolls his eyes in disgust.

 

[Sawyer]

He can't wait until this show is a thing of the past. I don't even know him and I feel reasonably sure of that fact.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm actually very curious to see how the cast fares during the next pilot season. Not so much for the people who had their workload cut after S3 ended (Salling, Harry Shum, Amber Riley), because they could've booked something awhile ago if they wanted to, but for the biggies like Colfer, Lea, Darren, Naya, etc.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Sadly I don't think Naya will use her strength and go after anything next year. She's content nowadays doing her fashion magazines, though I hope I am wrong since she could land a decent show.

I think Lea will try her hand at more indie movies before doing another tv show.

Chord will most likely end up as the next hunk on a CW show.

 

[RockSP]

Stopped watching this a long time ago, but rewatched some early episodes (mostly just musical numbers) recently. Just curious: did Artie, Mercedes or Tina ever get parents?

 

[Sawyer]

Artie got Katey Sagal as his mom. No such luck for the other two.

 

[Schlosser85]

Yeah it's very bittersweet. I just wish I could hear the casts thoughts when they read a script, Colfer probably rolls his eyes in disgust.

I bet some of Colfer's inner monologues are hilarious.

But seriously, unless someone is in deep deep denial, the entire cast has to know it's crap by now. I bet even the publicly gushy ones like Lea and Darren know it too.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Sweet baby jesus are they actually finishing up this storyline? I for one am SHOCKED

 

[Schlosser85]

Uh, who is that?

 

[Primal Slayer]

 

[Schlosser85]

Ah.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I don't know if this is for a new episode after ep3 or just episode 3. Since they are coming back mid-season they seem to be taking their sweet time with filming episodes and filming multiple episodes at a time.

And it seems like Kitty is back for more then 1 episode and even gets a song.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So now Coach Beiste will be transitioning from female to male during S6.
