I loved this episode too! Glee has been very good this season so far - 3 out of 3 that I liked. Kurt singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and the flashbacks was so sad. I haven't heard "One of Us" by Joan Osbourne in so long! Love that song. Need to download that. :)

Episode 2.3: "Grilled Cheesus"

Finn: Mr. Shue, I have something to say. Something happened to me and I can’t really get into it but it’s shaken me to my core.

Puck: Oh my God, he’s coming out.

Finn: Why yes. There is a man who sort of recently came into my life….and that man…is Jesus Christ.

Puck: That’s way worse.

Brittany: Whenever I pray, I fall asleep.

Finn: You got a problem with Jesus?

Puck: No, I got no problem with guy. I’m a total Jew-for-Jesus – he’s my number one Heb.

Finn: What up, Grilled Cheesus. I need to ask you for something. I didn’t go to Sunday School so I don’t know if God works the same as a Genie and I only get three wishes. But here’s the thing, dating Rachel’s great but she’s kind of a prude and I’m sort of going crazy. Anyway, her boobs aren’t that great but they’re still girl boobs and I would really like to touch them. So Cheesus, considering that I dedicated a week of my mystical life to you, I hope you can see it in your heart to answer my prayers. Amen.

Brittany: I did a book report on heart-attacks if you want to give it to the doctor. I got knocked down an entire letter grade because it was written in crayon.

Brittany: Is God an evil dwarf?

Figgens: Sue, children should be allowed to profess whatever faith they choose.

Sue: At the B.E.T. Awards, but not at a public school.

Rachel: Both of my dads were people’s slaves once.

Sue: I need to go what’s going on with that Glee Club. Brittany, Jugs-the-Clown, go.

Santana: Mostly everyone’s just very sad for Kurt but no one knows how to help.

Brittany: I read on a card that heart attacks are just from loving too much.

Tina: Last week we were too sexy, this week we’re too religious – we can’t win.

Brittany: Now I know what Miley feels like.

I'm totally in FLOVE with Chord Overstreet. Gorgeous, and his voice is orgasmic. He's like, perfect. And since Quinn is as well. They are perfect SQUARED!

This was the BEST episode of Glee!!! Finally a well balanced show.

Sorry for the immature squeeing, but I just could not and would not contain myself!

I hope Sam isn't actually gay though. I don't want his awesomeness to be wasted on "thinks it's okay to harass whoever he wants" Kurt. At least the show went out of their way to show he was psychotic with Finn.

I thought the episode wasn't that great. LOL It wasn't that funny (so few quotable lines) and I didn't know any of the songs. I do think Sam is a good addition (he has a great voice) to the show and I like him with Quinn. I like Asian/Other Asian's duet the best only because of Other Asian's dancing.

Episode 2.4: "Duets"

Brittany: He must be the dumbest person on this planet, and that’s coming from me.

Brittany: Hi. So I just want you to know that I’m really into you.

Artie: Okay. Sorry, I’m just a little confused – you’ve never made eye contact with me.

Brittany: I know. For a while I thought you were a robot.

Kurt: He’s on team gay. No straight boy does his hair to look like Linda Evangelista circa 1993.

Kurt: I have 3 gifts: my voice, my ability to spot trends in men’s fashion and my ability to know when it comes from a bottle.

Santana: How can you do a duet by yourself? That’s like vocal masturbation or something.

Brittany carrying Artie to the bed was funny.

The pics are hot. They look good. Who cares? People are making way too big a deal about these. They arent on the Disney channel and they didnt do playboy. They really are taken quite a beating over this in the press and I think people need to lighten up.

I know this was apparently Fox's doing, and one thing I can't blame on Ryan Murphy... I can't believe for their probably cringe inducing upcoming Rocky Horror episode--such lyrics as "heavy petting" and even "transvestite" have been forced to be replaced with toned down lyrics (how can you do Rocky Horror and not say transvestite??). Yet, this show loves to call one of its characters "JewFro", has refered to lesbian "scissoring", etc? :blink: Is heavy petting even a term that networks are worried about anymore?? :huh:

I thinkit is hypocritical, and that GQ really should get the blunt of the blame. All three actors are really new to this (where were their agents??), though I know there's been a bit of complaining that Lea already was topless (only partially viewable) on stage in Spring Awakening (John Groff showed his ass there too, but no one seemed to care--and he's not a major actor on Glee anyway)--but of course that wasn't captured on film.

That said--I do think particularly lea's panty shots are in horribly bad taste, and not remotely hot (and don't say that's only cuz I'm not straight :P While I might prefer it, if Cory had been in a jock strap in the pics, I would equally call it in poor taste. Of course he went to my high school and we shared a gym change room a few times--maybe I shoulda taken a picture :P). The issue isn't that they're adults now--the issue is that they were *in character* for the photo spread, as teenagers. (That said accusations of pedophilia or child pornography are surreally ridiculous. Child pornography is a serious, important issue, and I feel to lay labels like that on something like this is completely counter productive).

I think part of it is that some who are commenting on the photos already hate Glee (like the Parents Television groups) and some others just want to be on the bandwagon for morality, but the photo I saw of Lea Michelle was tacky and degrading. The others didn't seem as bad but that one was like a big banner for all that's wrong with how women are presented today. I actually think this was worse than tasteful nude shots (although I guess those aren't around anymore), because of the cheap, assembly line sleaze of the pose. In these panties, legs spread wide open, with a dead look on her face. It made her look like a doll someone had posed. There was no life or sensuality. It just reinforced again how women are commodities today and that the days of women in the media actually being sexy or attractive are tougher and tougher to find.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....  
    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!  
    • Lol is that like an AI type of thing that popped up?

    • Upton introduced a slew of new characters which must have had viewers heads spinning. And then Jean Holloway wrote all of them out. No wonder viewers switched off. And now we return to Love of Life... Charles, after a long period of refusing to admit he’s paralyzed, has had to accept his new life in a wheelchair, but insists that only Felicia care for him. Despite her growing exhaustion, he refuses to consider hiring a nurse, and Felicia, under the weight of her self imposed guilt forfeits her art work to accede to Charles’s demands and devote herself entirely tohis needs. She tells herself that being a prisoner in this house is her punishment and refuses to allow her mind to drift to Eddie, who had opened her mind to new levels. Despite Dr. Cusack’s insistence on additional help after Felicia’s first collapse, Charles continues to insist that only she can administer to him. But Felicia collapses again, this time with viral pneumonia, and a nurse is brought in. Felicia’s condition worsens instead of improving, causing Joe to speculate that it’s due to Charles’s subtle encouragement of Felicia’s guilt feelings and her own self-punishment. Eddie visits her, even though they decided not to see each other any more because of the emotional pull between them. In the delirium of a spiking fever Felicia calls out for Eddie. Joe feels she has reached a crisis and wants her in the hospital, but Charles is still clinging to her. When Felicia finally passes the crisis point and recovers, Sara warns her that she called for Eddie and must be more careful in the future.  The district attorney charges Ben with fraud and conspiracy. Meg puts up his bail. As Arlene, terrified of jail, is taken into custody, Carrie has an attack of chest pain. Ben continues to try to prove to Betsy that he loves her and has grown up, but circumstances continue to make her question his motives, and she rejects his overtures. Arlene, questioned by the court officer preparing the court report, cynically states that the rich, like the Harpers, always get away with everything and she will take the rap. She accidentally slips and mentions the forged divorce papers, and the officer notes this.Carrie is hospitalized. Joe suspects a dangerous thoracic aneurism, but then, all heart involvements are dangerous. Arlene wants to stay, but has to go to court for the sentencing. Ben, at his own insistence, makes a statement absolving Arlene of all responsibility, saying her only crime was loving him too much. The judge takes this into consideration and sentences Arlene to six months probation. However, when sentencing Ben, he explains that new evidence has turned up—the forgeries—and Ben is sentenced to one to four years. Ben asks to begin serving his sentence immediately. As Ben tried to arrange financial aid for Betsy through Jamie, she visits him in jail, saying the offer was “decent” but this is her baby. When he insists the baby was conceived in love, Betsy claims he was only pretending love. When Ben tells her to tell the baby that “there was a father who would have really welcomed him into this world,” Betsy rushes out in tears, and Ben starts to cry. Jamie, having waited patiently for Diana to recover from her emotional depressionn,now tells her he can no longer live with her as brother and sister. Diana replies that they have good memories and have taught each other how deep a relationship can be, but now it is time for them to go their separate ways. Meg, learning that the child of an annulled marriage is legitimate and the father has rights, sets up a trust fund for Betsy’s baby. Betsy doesn’t want her child ruined by money. Arlene is having trouble holding a job, despite help from her parole officer, and is under the twin pressures of having to repay Ray’s bail loan and the stunning news that Carrie’s necessary surgery will cost over ten thousand dollars. Carrie, discovering this, checks herself out of the hospital. Joe and Dr. Tom Crawford explain to Arlene that the money end of the surgery can be handled through the free clinic, but Carrie must have the surgery now. But Carrie’s past due hospital bill has been turned over to a collection agency, and Arlene is out of work again, so she goes to Ray for help. He would like to turn her down, as he has discovered that she was informing Rick of Ray’s attempts to muscle in on Skylar Mountain, but when his influential customer, Mr. Ian Russell, tells Ray he wants to meet that girl, Ray lets Arlene know he has a job for her. Meg asks Rick if they can start over together, but Rick has had it and is clearing out his desk. Learning that Ray has withdrawn his backing offer to Rick and that Rick has no available cash, Meg calls his bluff. She sets a price on her share so high that Rick can’t touch it, and sets her price for buying him out so low that he would have nothing left. Rick and Cal decide to elope and tell everyone afterward. But Meg gets wind of the plans and confronts them in Rick’s office. She blurts out that Cal is not the only one who loves Rick and that she and Rick were lovers as recently as a month ago. Rick tries to explain to Cal, but she is revolted and takes off in her car. When she runs it off the road, she takes off on foot, and is found, exhausted, by a hunter, who calls the highway patrol. When Rick arrives with Joe,. she refuses to let Rick anywhere near her. Cal refuses to believe Rick’s assurances that he’s really through with Meg, and makes plans to go to San Francisco. Meg, learning from Jamie .that Rick is severing their partnership, informs her lawyer that she wants all monies in both Beaver Ridge and Skylar _ Mountain tied up, and she wants Rick ruined. Rick follows Cal to California and tells her he has given up everything to prove that Meg means nothing to him. Cal insists that she feels nothing, but relents when Betsy calls, confirming everything Rick has said. She then admits that she loves him but says it won’t work. But Meg has followed them and confronts them in Cal’s hotel room. She informs Rick she’s bringing a suit against him for breaking up their partnership and this will ruin him. Rick quickly points out that Meg just defeated herself rather than him, because Cal had refused to marry him, thinking her mother loved him. Seeing what Meg’s “love” is, there is no reason for Cal to deny her own love for him.
