Glee: Discusion Thread

[Toups]

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.

Toups I just love how you recap all the stand out quotes from the past few episodes. I get a second laugh out of reading them.

[Toups]

I'm glad you like them. I love typing them out because they're so funny. And like you, I like reading them later on.

[Cheap21]

I thought the last episode was kinda boring

[Bright Eyes]

Glee always fails when they try and be serious. It's quite nauseating actually.

[Bright Eyes]

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 agree, this was the best episode of the season so far.

[Cheap21]

I loved it. Definetly the best.

Love Sam. Man he has some big lips. Boy is cute and I love him and Quinn

[Toups]

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.

I loved the River Deep Mountain High version from Santana and Mercede's, best one I've heard since Tina Turner's original and it has been done by some of the best voices out there.

[DRW50]

Those GQ photos, especially the one of Lea Michelle with her legs spread, are so tacky, and so vacant. This is a big hit show and yet it always seems to be desperate.

[Cheap21]

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? Is heavy petting even a term that networks are worried about anymore??

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 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 ). 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).

[DRW50]

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.
