Glee Episode V: The Sylvester Strikes Back

[Sawyer]

Since logic and consistency are no longer existent on the show, I'm waiting for Tina to just get so fed up that she straight up murders Azimio and Jacob Ben Isreal just to prove a point to everyone else.

 

[Manic]

Tina: My momma told me when I was young, we were all born supe-- supe-- superstaAAHHHHHH!

 

[flash13]

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Manic]

In all honesty, I think it's great justice that the girl who's been unable to complete a single solo since "Sing!" should be given the most hyped up song of the season. It's like... finally!

If Tina or someone else murdered Jacob and/or Azimio, I don't think anyone would care.

 

[Sawyer]

Which makes it perfect for Tina to do... because it will be just like everything else she's ever done.

In her life.

"As If We Never Said Goodbye" by Chris Colfer from the Born This Way episode has also leaked.

 

[Manic]

Unlike Nicole Crowther, something tells me the people leaking these songs online were smart enough to do so anonymously.

 

[Schlosser85]

Nicole Crowther's entire Twitter account is gone. lol.

 

[Sawyer]

She's an idiot. Did she honestly think she could openly spread all this **** around without any consequences? Come on...

Songs for next week:

I've Gotta Be Me - one of Cory's best songs yet.

Whoa, I actually prefer Cory's take on the Rat Pack style better than Mark's. Color me shocked.

 

[JP]

Probably because Corey has texture to his voice, and Mark doesn't. I do prefer Mark's voice though, obviously.

 

[Matt]

I watch it for Kurt.

I agree a lot of this episode was sanctimonious and patronizing.

Kurt is actually the reason that I stopped watching. So much of this season was focused around him and he is an entirely unlikable character. I don't mind a show with an unlikable protagonist (loved The Sopranos, for example). But this show asks us to root for him. The Sopranos never tried to make the audience root for Tony, they showed us what a monster he was. Not saying that Kurt is a monster but its hard to watch a show where it is always trying to justify and make me like a character who is rude, condescending, and whiney.

Anyhow, out of curiousity, what happened in this episode. I've heard a lot of hype about it. Did Karofsky finally off himself?

 

[JP]

You've heard hype? Where? LOL

I think the general consensus was that this was probably one of the worst episodes this season. Absolutely nothing happened.

 

[Matt]

Mostly through Fox promoing an extended episode, and you guys *****ing about another Gaga episode when I check this thread to ensure there's been no more wars over Sam's sexuality. What happened?

Oh, well NEXT week is the extended episode.

 

[Matt]

That explains why I can't find anything on Wikipedia. Thanks, JP.

Back to lurking this thread I go, waiting for the next, "SAM IS GAY AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOU'RE AN MF-ER!" outburst.

 

[JP]

Yeah, I think the Karofsky story line finally wraps up next week. We'll see.

 

[Matt]

Perhaps I'll come back, if the show is done playing martyr. Not that what was done to Kurt's character by Karofsky wasn't wrong, but they just rubbed into my face how sympathetic Kurt was. Its like, "No matter how mean, rude, or stalkery this boy is, you must sympathize with him and every character must admit he's right." It just became too much of Kurt's issue of the week rather than a fun, airy comedy. If it goes back to the latter I may tune in again.

 

[JP]

As a huge Kurt fan, I know just what you mean. The worst is anytime Burt tries to talk to him and he just FLIPS out. It's like Ryan Murphy is trying to say something, but ends up making Kurt look like an ass hat.

 

[Manic]

Another nitpick: What the F was up with New Directions not having access to Sue's redistributed budget? Did the school system honestly allow one of their coaches to put part of their budget into her private overseas accounts?

Also, if they haven't had access to Sue's old budget this whole time like they said 6 episodes ago, where has their money been coming from? Where did they get the set pieces for their "Blame it on the Alcohol" rehearsal? Where did they get the large ass film projectors that displayed desserts during "Afternoon Delight"? How the hell did they get a bus to Regionals this year without a fundraiser?

 

[Schlosser85]

Kurt was an ass to Burt in the Sexy episode and played the gay card to suggest Burt was a latent homophobe instead of just a father naturally wary about his kid bringing people home and having them spend the night in his bed (especially the one other openly gay boy his son knows). IMO he was kind of an ass to Blaine too with his statement that basically bisexuality isn't real and is just something closeted gay guys make up to feel more normal.

For the record, Kurt is my favorite character. I think I'm one of the few who finds Schue sympathetic too, through all of his asshattery.

You could ask questions like that all through the entire series though. The "Singing in the Rain/Umbrella" number was pretty damn elaborate for an "underfunded" glee club.

 

[Matt]

I liked Schue because he actually seemed to try to be a decent person. He was a likable protagonist. Kurt on the other hand makes no effort to be kind to anyone. Whole golden rule thing, I guess. Why should I be empathetic to Kurt when he experiences trouble, when he is horrible to everyone else?

 

[Sawyer]

I'm still pissed of about the little Kurt/Rachel thing back during sectionals this season. "Why weren't you ever this nice to me when I was in New Directions?" Really, Kurt? Really?! Because you're obviously the victim in that relationship and never once said anything even remotely hurtful to Rachel.

Please.
