Well, Glee went out last night in pure Glee style: a little sappy, a little silly, but full of heart and not afraid to pile on the cheese to get the audience crying. And cry we did, kittens. Admit it, so did you. We could do a strict recap and run down the plot points, but why bother? There...

Sometimes, Glee is its own worst enemy. One of the things that makes the show so much fun, its wild unpredictability, is also one of the main reasons the show is so uneven. After last week’s fun, dramatic, and ultimately uplifting Gaga episode, the show came crashing back down to earth...

Okay, what should we talk about first: Burt Hummel or Bad Romance? Well, if we start off with the latter we’ll only manage a bunch of SQUEEEE!!!!s, so it’s best to start off with the former. We were a little surprised to see them take the Kurt/Finn storyline to this point. After...

Uh-oh. That was our honest reaction about halfway through this episode. Why? Because we were pretty sure by that point that this episode might force us to rethink our entire approach to viewing this show. You see, we’ve been big proponents of the “Don’t think about it too...

Let’s do it Glee-style, bitches. Rapid-fire with no concern for form or structure or rationality. Here’s what happened. Rachel became more obnoxious, pushing her even closer to becoming too obnoxious for any viewer to care about her. Then, she loses her voice, a development that...

As with all of our TV posts, we sit through each episode with a notebook at hand, indulging our secret inner Lois Lanes, jotting down everything that occurs to us as it unfolds. With every episode, we’re looking for some hook, some way to start off the post or some theme around which...

This episode’s rather heavily hammered theme was “home,” whether that means a physical space, an emotional one, or the combination of the two represented by a person’s own body. But what it really was about (at least to us) was selfish, stupid teenagers. To our way of...

We were a bit pleasantly surprised by this episode. Like every stereotypical gay, we were both looking forward to an all-Madge episode of Glee, but we never thought they’d take such a …semiotic approach to it. We should have known that the writers would take it further. This...

Kittens, we tried. We really did. We spent a good hour taking turns staring at the screen and wondering how we were going to write up this episode. See, the problem is, we’re having a hard time coming up with anything more than “SQUEEEE!!!” and “ROFLMAO!!!!!” As...

We have to say, this episode’s return to full-on science fiction was a huge relief after being bombarded with so much mystical mumbo-jumbo this season. Sure, the conflict between Jacob and Smokey is intriguing, but like seemingly a lot of the viewers, we’d be pissed if the entire...

Sad as we are to see the show go on hiatus until the spring, we were looking forward to this episode because the depiction of sectionals meant we were pretty much guaranteed a bunch of great numbers. We weren’t even thinking of plot much but we got that in spades too. We have to admit,...

Well! They certainly decided plot was the new focus this week, didn’t they? That was like a season-ender of Mad Men, so much happened. But first, a quote retrospective. As usual, someone got most of the good lines and this week it was Sue Sylvester. “While they were in there, I...

We are still in the throes of turkey and carb overload-induced coma while simultaneously attempting to gear ourselves up for what we hope is a mere toe-dip into Black Friday madness, and since this was a pretty disjointed episode that recycled a lot of the same old conflicts, we’re only...

Sometimes, you just gotta give up the stuff you want in order to get the stuff you need. Last night’s episode was sadly Sue Sylvester-free, but in the end we didn’t mind because there was big movement on the plot front. So big that we honestly didn’t see it coming. Not only...

We’re not gonna lie to you. Despite our endless cheering for this show, our viewing experience quite often is vocalized thus: “Wait, what?” “Why is she –?” “Didn’t they just –?” “Who would do –?” And ends thus:...

Okay, before we get into it, watch this (as if you needed to be asked):     Amazing, amirite? In fact, this may be our favorite solo of the series so far. Puck has a great voice, which makes us wonder why he’s not singing male lead instead of Finn. Still, we’ve been...

As far as we’re concerned, the show gets a little tighter with each episode and last night’s was the tightest yet. Plot, character motivations and music all combined flawlessly. For once, we didn’t have a “What the…?” moment. It all made sense. We had hopes...

This was easily the tightest episode so far. For the first time, they managed to combine plot, humor and musical numbers. In previous episodes the best we could expect was 2 out of 3. While the numbers, a mashup of “Halo” and “Walkin’ on Sunshine” from the girls...

Much Like Kurt and Emma, there were a couple moments when we were almost brought to tears last night. Yes, we’re big drama queens, but can you honestly say you had NO emotional reaction to some of those numbers? We wouldn’t be, well, us if we didn’t have a complaint, though....

Without a big number (or two) in last night’s episode, the show managed to prove that it’s more than just big numbers. Which isn’t to say we weren’t wishing for a big number, but at least there were character and story moments and frankly, there was sore need for them....

We were happy to ignore the hype on this water-cooler-topic of a show up till now because our first reaction to any water-cooler-topic show is to recoil from it. We’re snotty about that sort of thing. Sue us. To be honest, we had it written it off as one of those hipper than thou shows...
