Glee Season 2 Episode 19: Rumours

Oh, Glee. You are in so much trouble now. Everyone has “their” album; that one collection of songs by a group or artist that, for whatever reasons became the soundtrack to their life; the songs they want played at their wedding AND their funeral; the songs that got them through...

Glee on Location in NYC (Spoilerish)

Toe-tapping. No real reason to feature these shots of the cast of Glee on location in New York (Central Park, Times Square, and Lincoln Center) shooting the season finale, when the New Directions kids head to Nationals, except they’re kind of adorable and the clothes look great. We...

Glee Season 2 Episode 18: Born This Way

“The only straight I am is straight up bitch.” We saw the writing on the wall halfway through last night’s episode. Actually, we saw the writing in the tweets and emails we were getting; writing which caused a cold rush of shit to the stomach when we realized that we were...

Glee Season 2 Episode 17: A Night of Neglect

“This hairline is 85 percent my own and my sperm count is off the charts.” Well, everybody has their limit, we suppose. Most of this season, we’ve been arguing that Glee fans should lower their expectations for the show because, due to a combination of factors such as an...

Glee Season 2 Episode 16: Original Songs

“Prom queens live, on average, five years longer than regular people.” It struck us last night while watching this episode that this season, much more so than last season, we find ourselves thinking “Well, this one’s for the kids,” meaning, we’re just going...

Glee Season 2 Episode 15: Sexy

“My sex tape with J.D. Salinger was a disaster.”   Look, we can hardly be accused of being Gwynnie fanboys, so believe us when we say that we’re shocked at just how much we love her as Holly Holliday. In fact, T turned to Lo at one point last night and said, “You know...

Glee Season 2 Episode 14: Blame it on the Alcohol

“Ke, dollar sign, ha.” In our ongoing quest to constantly have something to complain about, we think we settled on something with Glee. See, with this season, we’ve largely accepted the show’s sometimes astonishing lack of consistency because a)It’s been that way...

Glee Season 2 Episode 13: The Comeback

“I’m giving you full visitation rights to the twins that reside on my rib cage.”  Sometimes we feel totally at odds with the collective fandom of Glee. We always seem to be criticizing the episodes people loved most and loving the episodes people hated most. The thing...

Pairs Division: Agron and Pettyfer, Poledancing for their New Movie Feb10

Pairs Division: Agron and Pettyfer, Poledancing for the...

Darlings, we’re dashing from fashion show to fashion show at the moment, but we’ll always take some time out of each day to stare at overpraised attractive people to tell them what they did wrong. Alex Pettyfer and Dianna Agron make an appearance to promote their movie “I Am...

Glee Season 2 Episode 12: Silly Love Songs

“I had a cat thrown at me in a nursing home once.” Following the Glee pattern of a stunt episode followed by a more low-key one, last night’s show managed to avoid the usual Glee pitfall of overshooting “low-key” and hitting “boring.” It took us a...

Glee Season 2 Episode 11: The Sue Sylvester Shuffle

“You’re so afraid of being called geeks or losers or gay that you settle for being nothing.” It’s time to face facts, kids. Glee, by its very nature, is always going to disappoint a segment of its fans, no matter what it does. If it attempts linear, logical...

Glee Season 2 Episode 10: A Very Glee Christmas

“I thought you hated the holidays.” “No, I just hate you.” Like no other show on television, Glee is perfectly suited to take on the task it assigned itself with this episode: to do an old school Christmas special. We enjoyed it more than it may have deserved simply...

Glee Season 2 Episode 9: Special Education

“What has become of us, Kurt?” Oh, God. We had a terrible epiphany last night watching this show. We think the gimmicky theme episodes as well as the occasionally equally as gimmick Very Special Episodes might actually represent when the show is at its strongest. Because last...

Glee Season 02 Episode 08: Furt

“What in the G.D. Hell?” Glee’s kind of a funny show. That probably sounds like a painfully obvious thing to say, but we mean it’s funny in the sense that the audience has a somewhat unusual relationship to it and to our way of thinking, that relationship gets weirder...

Glee Season 2 Episode 7: Substitute

“You make the underflaps of my breasts burn like when I used to rub them with poison sumac.” Well alright! We weren’t expecting that at all. In fact, how would we? Who could rightly predict that bringing Gwyneth Paltrow in for a guest stint would re-energize the show,...

Glee Season 2 Episode 6: Never Been Kissed

“No. This is my hill to climb alone.” In recent weeks, there has been a rhetorical explosion around the concept of bullying, especially gay bullying. That’s a good thing, of course; a very good thing. Tragic that it took a flurry of young men taking their own lives in the...

Glee Season 2 Episode 5:The Rocky Horror Glee Show

“Mexican terrorist ants!” At the risk of once again being branded anti-Glee philistines by the commentariat, we have to admit we weren’t really looking forward to this episode at all. If there’s one consistency with Glee, it’s that the “theme”...

Glee Season 2 Episode 4: It Takes Two

“I know you’re lonely, but you’re not alone.” YAY! Glee is back! Oh sure, it’s been back for weeks now, but we found the previous two episodes to be pretty disappointing, so with this week’s return to form, we’re just going to pretend the show went on...

Glee Season 2 Episode 3: Grilled Cheesus

“Is God an evil dwarf?”  Well, we’ve resigned ourselves to the idea that the Gleeks are going to hate us because we’ll be giving two negative reviews in a row. Granted, this wasn’t as weirdly bad as last week’s Britney episode, but we were pretty...

Glee Season 2 Episode 2: Britney/Brittany

Well. Glee is back.And that isn’t an excited “Glee is BACK!” It’s a disappointed “Everything that used to be wrong about the show is still wrong about the show.” We’d have to rewatch season 1 to be sure, but at the end of last night’s episode,...

Glee Season 2 Episode 1: Audition

“I didn’t send her to an active crack house.” Our one fear with the return of Glee was that it was going to become a victim of its own hype. There’s nothing worse than a hit show that acts like it’s a hit show. They become way too self-referential (not to mention...
