Musical Glee Episode V: The Sylvester Strikes Back - - - - - - Part 15

[Sawyer]

Kurt/Adam, Santana/Dani, Sam/Nurse Penny, Artie/Kitty, Rachel/Sam...this show loves establishing couples and then forgetting they ever existed and never even bothering to show when they apparently broke up.

That's what got me. I would've been pissed either way, but at least give them a legit break up, rather than "We've made out a bunch of times, presumably slept together, I made a big deal about being with you in front of my dead boyfriend's mother and just last week said that you're the most important person in my life, but now you're just my friend and oh look, Jesse's back!!!!"

Wut.

[Sawyer]

I'd honestly love to have been in the writers room for this show. I just need to hear the thought process or lack thereof behind this constant f***ery.

I mean, this show is actually topping the last few seasons of True Blood in terms of just straight up stupid storytelling decisions.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I can only imagine that they write the scripts the night before they are do.

11 Things To Know About Glee's Swan Song

1 | Rachel and Kurt have a Wicked-ly good time on their first duet together.

2 | Mr. Schuester shares a scene with Sue in which she isn’t his nemesis. (Seems impossible, but it happens!)

3 | The mystery of Artie’s glee club audition song is finally solved.

4 | Mercedes quite literally takes it to church in her first solo of the episode.

5 | A character you wouldn’t expect to see anywhere near McKinley High School in 2009 makes a surprise appearance.

6 | Despite Cory Monteith’s absence, Finn’s inclusion in the glee club plays an important role in the finale’s first hour. (Grab your tissues for this one.)

7 | At least one glee club member gets an extra-large Slushie to the face.

8 | You haven’t seen the last of Sheets-N-Things — or the pregnancy-faking woman who works there.

9 | There are multiple well-timed references to MySpace and Blockbuster, both of which were somehow going strong just six years ago.

10 | Sue delivers a prophetic line that perfectly encapsulates her relationship with Mr. Schuester and his students.

11 | The last musical number of the hour will make you more than a little misty-eyed — especially if you’ve been watching Glee since it began.

Well we already know that Blaine Warbler is in 2009 flashback, cause you know, it wouldn't be a flashback if Blaine wasn't around. And they use a deleted scene of Finn/Artie from the pilot in 2009.

 

[Sawyer]

Ugh, Blaine.

 

[Sawyer]

I still think it's funny looking back at season 2 and remembering how they kept Jessalyn Gilsig as a series regular all throughout, even though they only used her in about four episodes.

 

[Hunter Rider]

At this point I think the show is actually a scientific test to see how much stupidity a fanbase is willing to sit through. This weeks Sue vs Shu stuff with the ludicrous masterplan reveal at the end was just..... And WTF was with the kid in the flesh toned leotard and wig jumping about in the audience?

 

[JP]

That was Glee being typically Glee. When they sing certain songs they have to copy verbatim the original video and/or movie.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Alright, nevermind, that Julianne Moore bit totally landed.

That guys dialogue in that scene was the only good thing about the episode.

So the final song will be that one that starts out in South Detroit.....

That was Glee being typically Glee. When they sing certain songs they have to copy verbatim the original video and/or movie.

I see, I'm not familiar with the song so it kinda just came off as weird and creepy to me.

 

[Sawyer]

Believe me, the actual music video they were basing it off of was no less weird and creepy.

 

[Schlosser85]

Sometimes I wonder if the writers actively dislike this show and every character on it.

Except Sue. They sure love them some Sue.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I wonder if Becca Tobin actually getting treat pretty well on the show is down to her being Lea's friend.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Believe me, the actual music video they were basing it off of was no less weird and creepy.

Who is the song by?

 

[Sawyer]

Sia.

 

[Schlosser85]

Lea/Colfer/Darren used to be like the Ryan Murphy Favorites triumvirate, but idk if he even likes Colfer and Darren anymore. He's really shafted Colfer of any decent material for a long time.

 

[Sawyer]

I sometimes wonder what it's like between Lea and the rest of the cast. I know she and Dianna were BFFs when the show was starting up, but now, at least from an outsider's perspectives, that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[JP]

I can't even imagine Becca being friends with Lea. I've talked to her many times back when she was on Broadway. Definition of a sweetheart, the complete opposite of Lea.

 

[Sawyer]

I love it when you throw shade at Lea.

 

[Schlosser85]

He's like oyr very own Hedda Hopper.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I think Becca just gelled with the cast the most. She hangs out with all of them, even Lady Di.

 

[Sawyer]

Remember back when all this began, and Tina was just a girl with a stutter? Instead of being the f***ing worst like she is now?

 

[Prison Mike]

Didn't she fake that stutter? Those were the days...
