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

boyfriend twins creep me out... makes me think people are really insecure and narcissistic... :shr:

I wouldn't go so far as to call them twins, and Colfer doesn't really strike me as insecure or narcissistic. But then I don't know him....just like no one else here.
 
Chris and his boyfriend wouldn't even rank as the most identical looking boyfriends I've seen. It's almost getting to the point where I see an attractive set of twins and am sure they're dating until I see they've got the same last name. :o
 
My ex married himself....he's got insecure and narcissistic down pat.

they look similar. thus the boyfriend twin comment. they don't have to be identical to get the title. lol

when you look similar (which includes "related"), dress similar, etc... you get the label boyfriend twin.
 
Every once in awhile, just out of nowhere, it hits me just how good early Glee was. It's actually kind of painful to remember, tbh. If the writers had maintained quality throughout the show's run, it would be remembered as one of the greatest shows of all-time. Now, I don't think it'll be remembered for really anything more than the select few stars it churned out and what a f***ing mess it was in the later years.
 
It still had scattered moments that reminded us of how they squandered the potential 2/3 of the time, and only made it more frustrating.
 
2/3 seems a little generous. I'd say more like 5/6 of the time they would be squandering.
 
It's amazing how bored RM and co. got with Glee so quickly.

I wish I knew Kevins thoughts when he saw the ratings dwindling down since he actually payed attention to them.
 


Good times. Don't know why FOX didn't really cross promote the show after S2, especially during S5 when they came on right after XFactor US.
 
Probably because people cared as little about X-Factor as they did about Glee at that point.
 
Even bringing them on American Idol would've been smart. But S3/4/5 they could've had them perform on various shows.
 
I think the best thing for the show would've been, if it was still going on when Empire started airing, to have Mercedes make an appearance on that show as an artist they were looking to sign or to have a cameo from Cookie or Lucious on Glee. No other option would've done this show any favors. Idol has been on it's last legs for awhile now and it's debatable whether X-Factor ever had any legs to begin with. Empire is f***ing wildfire.
 
Apparently Chris Colfer and Ashley Fink are guest starring on Criminal Minds this season.

Lea Michele and ‘Glee’ Producers on Moving On to ‘Scream Queens’

“Scream Queens” reunites star Lea Michele with the triumvirate that created “Glee” — Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. And while they all still miss Cory Monteith, they say going right into “Scream Queens” helped them heal. “It really has been a gift,” says Murphy. Here, they open up to Variety about saying goodbye to “Glee” — and moving on to “Scream Queens.”

Star Lea Michele on how hard it was to say goodbye to “Glee”:

“It was really hard. But I was so thankful to know I didn’t have to say goodbye to Ryan and Brad and Ian and a lot of our crew. I loved ‘Glee’ so much. I miss Rachel Berry so much. We would be starting our seventh season right now. But I do think I got to a point where I was proud of the job I had done, and I felt very satisfied. I was so happy with how they were able to end the story. I don’t feel that I wish I could have sang that song or danced that dance. I did it all. That was the last song on the show, ‘I did it all.’ We did it all.”

Executive producer Ryan Murphy on how “Scream Queens” has made him find joy again:

“The Cory (Monteith) thing was a very dark and destabilizing thing, and I don’t think I really realized how hard it was until (‘Glee’) was over. I love seeing Lea happy. It feels like I’m laughing again. Brad, Ian and I did go through a dark period, and I feel like this is a joyful experience because we love the cast so much and the story so much. It reminds me of a lot of happy beginnings. You never really get over it, and it comes in waves that you do not see coming. Recently, I was playing with my two sons. I’d bought a CD of instrumental nursery rhymes, and ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ came on. I really felt Cory in the room. I’m sure I’ll always have just a sadness in my life. I do think that there was so much possibility in him. But the show feels like a happy thing after a sad thing, because we do have so much fun making it. We laugh all day long at Ian Brennan’s jokes. It feels good to be in that space again.”

Executive producer Brad Falchuk on whether he was ready to end “Glee”:

“I think it’s like graduating high school. You’re sort of sad about it, but at the same time you’re like, ‘OK, gotta go.’ In a perfect world, that show probably was a 50- or 60-episode show, where we could have told three seasons of stories and graduated from high school and been done. But it doesn’t work that way. I think that when Cory died — all of us really lost it then. I know I did. He was always my access point to the show but I think, in general, he was everyone’s access point to the show. Because he was the guy who could look at all this craziness in this world, and all this weirdness and be like, ‘What?’ But not judge it, just be confused by it. To me, what gave the show the broad appeal was seeing him accept Rachel and Kurt and those people who are the more fringe characters in the world. He was saying, ‘No, I’m gonna try and embrace them. It’s hard because they confuse the hell out of me.’ When he was gone, there was no one there to use for that. And then suddenly it’s not there. Every day I think about it. I talk about it with Lea, too. I loved him very much and I loved writing that character very much. I just miss both of them.”
Interesting to hear Brad say the show would've been best left at three seasons.
 
Well it shows. Everyone bts chimed it in after s3 for the most part. He and RM should've left and let someone fresh come in.

But it is weird to think that s3 finale was the last time the entire cast was together with Cory.

Remember that one time the show tried to get really trendy and do a school shooting episode that mainly amounted to little more than shock value, didn't even happen until more than halfway through the episode, and also didn't really give any good commentary on how/why these things happen in this day and age by having it be a girl who was worried about college firing off the gun by accident?
 
I remember the characters were stupid and could not figure out Unique was clearly the catfish.
 
I feel like I blocked out a good 90% of what happened to the S4/S5 newbies. The only 10% I remember is that Puck's brother was hot.
 
Naya gave birth to a boy and named him Josey Hollis Dorsey.

Or when they utterly randomly tossed in one scene of Kurt getting hit in the head with a brick by gay-bashers in an alley in an episode that was mostly about Sam and Mercedes attempting an interracial relationship. :huh:

Or when they ignored the trans character (Unique) they'd already established to suddenly turn Beiste trans, even though the whole essence of her character for the last four seasons was that the world sees her as this hulking he-she, but inside she's just a girl and just wants to feel desirable for once in her life. :huh::huh::huh:

It really annoyed me that the show couldn't end with assassinating one of my favorite supporting characters and completely and utterly invalidating the entire point of her character. They might as well have had Kurt suddenly declare himself a woman.
