Glee Episode V: The Sylvester Strikes Back - Part 6

[John Locke]

As long as we all agree Dianna is number one I don't care about the order of the runner ups.

 

[Prison Mike]

Dianna and Naya are tied for number one in my eyes

 

[RockSP]

Next week looks liek another blah episode. Mercedes is starting to annoy me too. It's most likely the writing, but I am sick and tired of how lazy her character is as a person.

What makes you say that? I mean she's barely been in the show this season (so far)...

 

[spideyboy_1111]

well.... i gotta agree with Majik to a degree... she figuratively just sorta sits on her ass... then once in a while randomly chimes in to complain about wanting a solo and she gets her stereotypical "entitlement" spat... and diva on. Then sorta disappears for a while. She demands things without often earning them or trying.. she just sorta pops in everyonce in a while to have a Diva-off with Rachel.

 

[Mogwai]

i feel like mercedes is usually provoked into acting the way she does. she's a selfish/obnoxious person just like the rest of the original 6 members (save for tina) and quinn are.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i feel like mercedes' is usually provoked into acting the way she does.

by whom? she just sorta randomly snaps. But... well.. so doesn't everyone else on the show.. so i guess that's normal in the gleeverse

Pretty much what Spideyboy said. She wants all these things randomly, but acts as if it should have been handed to her already. While Rachel has the same sort of attitude, she understands she at least has to work/audition/earn it; Mercedes is just similar to Veruca Salt in my eyes at the moment, "Don't care how. I want it NOW!" She wants to be Maria as we see in next episode's teaser. However, she's threatening in the office with Rachel saying everything isn't going to be handed to Rachel(or something similar), yet she's never shown interest, as much as she wants to be a star ala Beyonce, she thinks it will just come naturally and will be handed to her, instead of working her ass off like Rachel does.
I'm not trying to turn this into a Rachel vs. Mercedes thing, the analogy just works really well in this case for me.

While I'll agree at times she's been provoked, she's really not for how lazy she is. She kind of needs some kind of writing overhaul.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Will's version of Fix You is a ****ing masterpiece. It's not as good as the original, but it's beautiful.

Songs from Asian F including a Mike song.

 

[Prison Mike]

It's Will who is doing Fix You? Good. He has a great voice.

 

[CaptainCanada]

"It's All Over" is one of the most genuinely interesting songs they've ever done, with the reworking.

 

[Primal Slayer]

As far as the play goes. We know that Mercedes signed up to try out for it. We just havent been shown her try out yet so she isnt being lazy about that at least.

 

[Sawyer]

Getting fed up with Santana's treachery, straight up shutting Sugar down, verbally ripping Quinn apart, now "Fix You"..... when did Will become my favorite character?

Some big spoilers coming from TV Line...

Spoiler

Tired of Glee hijacking 75 percent of Ask Ausiello week in and week out? Or are you peeved that it’s not 100 percent? Well, I figured out how to make everyone happy… at least this week.

Feast your eyes on this, a special edition of AA that focuses exclusively on Glee — or more specifically, on next week’s standout episode, “Asian F,” of which I have seen (and adored). But how about we start off with a massive spoiler about an episode a little further down the road…

Question: It definitely seems like Episode 5 will have a few Finchel scenes. Is there anything you could tell us about that? —Sussi
Ausiello: That’s the understatement of the decade, Sussi. While next week’s “Asian F” showcases Mercedes and Mike like never before, the Nov. 8 episode puts Rachel and Kurt — and their respective relationships with Finn and Blaine — front and center. In a big, big way. How big we talking? Well, according to a Glee insider, Episode 5 finds the Wicked BFFs both losing their virginity. Appropriately, the title of the ep is “The First Time.”

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: John Stamos’ Dr. Carl gets not one but two shout-outs!

Question: Can you elaborate on your tweet about Finn having to choose between Rachel and Kurt in “Asian F”? —Paulina
Ausiello: Let’s just say that Rachel makes a controversial decision in the episode that pits her squarely against Kurt — much to Finn’s dismay.

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: Will shows Emma his special box!

Question: To me it looks like Mercedes is the big selfish Diva. She’s admitted to never rehearsing, doesn’t want to learn to dance, and yet she still wants the spotlight. Do they touch on this in “Asian F” or do they go straight to slamming Rachel, even though she actually works really hard to earn the solos and roles she gets? —Sarah
Ausiello: Mercedes’ diva-tude is more than addressed. In fact, her antics are the catalyst for one of the episode’s big musical numbers. (Hint: Think Dreamgirls.)

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: BreadstiX delivers!

Question: Can you elaborate on the “light PDA” Kurt/Blaine share in “Asian F”? —Car
Ausiello: There’s body contact, but no kissing.

Random “Asian F” Scoobit: Someone wants to cancel The Rachel Berry Show.

Question: Is there trouble ahead for Kurt and Blaine? —MeMe
Ausiello: I think I answered that question earlier this week.

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: There’s a Mike Chang scene that is very reminiscent of Billy Elliott.

Question: After “Asian F,” are Mike and Tina still a couple? —Lacey
Ausiello: Yes. There’s a very romantic, moving Mike-Tina scene that’s set in the dance hall… but there’s a catch.

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: The episode flashes back numerous times to a female character’s childhood.

Question: Will Quinn and Puck find any resolution with their daughter and Shelby? Puck was so cute with Beth this week! —Kathleen
Ausiello: Quinn and Puck are on the backburner in this episode, but the Quinn/Puck/Shelby/Beth imbroglio will heat up later this season.

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: Jimmy Fallon gets a shout-out!

Question: Any word on if Brittany and Santana will finally become an official couple? —Craig
Ausiello: No word, but I can tell you that there are two cute/funny Brittana scenes (one *****y, the other celebratory) next week. Personally, I’m ecstatic that these two are back to being BFFs with occasional bennies. All of that relationship sturm und drang last season was sucking the fun out of them. There, I said it.

Random “Asian F” Scoopbit: The episode ends with a twist involving Shelby.

Question: During the episode’s climactic “Fix You” musical number, do we get shots of the glee kids? —Enviado
Ausiello: Yes, but the focus is on Will and Emma. Speaking of which, Will finally “meets the parents,” and is slightly disturbed to learn that they are (prepare to LOL) ginger supremacists!

Sounds like [blackout]Kurt's going to get over his fear of sex real soon[/blackout].

 

[Jennifer Walters]

It's all about ''It's All Over" right now. Genuinely one of their best reworked versions of a song ever.

 

[Sawyer]

Just listened to "Cool"... Mike's been hiding that voice this whole time and we've been stuck with Finn's tyranny over all male vocals? Come on...

 

[Schlosser85]

I wouldn't be surprised about [BLACKOUT]Rachel losing the Big V[/BLACKOUT], but if [BLACKOUT]Kurt and Blaine actually do the deed[/BLACKOUT], I'll honestly be surprised Glee dared to go there.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

So.....Run The World scene came out.

Brittany, I ****ing love you.

 

[Schlosser85]

Where?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

E! Online, I think.

Leave it to Heather Morris/Brittany Pierce to completely save Glee for me.

Also, I love Naya's part so much. <3

 

[Prison Mike]

I haven't been this excited about a Glee episode in a looong time.

 

[Sawyer]

Nice little scene. Still ****ing hate that song, though.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I loooooooove Santana's part in that song so much.

 

[Prison Mike]

Dancing like you work a pole gets my vote
