But Santana actually likes glee, she just didn't want to show it initially because it would damage her rep. Lauren is at the bottom of the social food chain at McKinley, and had never expressed any interest in joining glee club before (like she did with the Cheerios) despite it being known as haven for outcasts.markatisu said:
She doesn't really have a reason to hide her true feelings, unless she's just trying to impress Puck. (Which would actually be a determent to that, as Puck is dedicated to the club.)
They like Glee club. Quinn probably had the most back story for it. Santana and Brit were mostly just Quinn's lackeys in the beginning, but the original story was they were Sue's spies in the Glee club so she could take the club down.
About the ep, I kind of surprised the married off Emma so quickly. They need to find a way to get her more involved in the story and I'm not sure that's the best way to do it. Really enjoyed the ep... especially the ending song.

Any scene with Finchel was terribad. Hopefully, their incredibly contrived breakup will be the last. Other than those scenes, I liked seeing Rachel interacting with Kurt as a friend. More of that side to her character would be appreciated.
Quinn and Sam duet was atrocious. Did they seriously have Emma say she has a beautiful voice? :lol

Much better episode. Not great, but at least it was watchable this time.
Tina needs more songs! I love her voice. It also helped that she got the best song choice all season.
Kurt was actually bearable for once. I like that he was brought down a peg and nobody was lauding him for how obviously AMAZING and INSPIRING he is.
Rachel/Finn drama was wretched. Ugh, they seriously don't know what to do with either of them.

They already missed the perfect opportunity to expand her role. The writers seriously just sidelined the goddamn guidance counselor during their bullying arc. What a waste of the character and Jayma Mays. She's basically a prop for some woeful will they/won't they drama at this point.Wads said:

Foremost thing I appreciate about this episode is the surprusing amount of back-referencing to past eps. Finally. Rachel-Kurt friendship felt super forced though, as with most things with this show.

it's not so bad thinking when they say kurt's last name it sounds like homo.Zomba13 said:
I might be the only person that loves selfish-Rachel. Compared to all the relationship-drama, bullying, and scheming, the events and conflicts that comes out of her selfishness felt the least forced.
BTW, am I the only one who thinks Brittany and Mike routine is pretty much equivalent to Hairography?

Jenna's solo in the middle of DDAO is hauntingly beautiful, and Naya just killed Valerie. More please.

Rachel and Kurt's scene was so sweet. Made the episode for me.
<3 Rachel.

Ryan Murphy says that most of the current cast will be written out at the end of the third season. This obviously makes sense for plot reasons (and considering Monteith's and Salling's ages), but I'm not sure how viable the fourth season will actually be; other shows have gone on to multiple successful seasons after losing their original casts, but they've usually done it by gradually writing out and replacing cast members, not by getting rid of most of the originals en masse at the end of a season. I also wonder just how much juggling the show will be doing next season between the already-large current cast and the S4 replacement cast.
They can easily keep some around as guest star Lima losers.
What I don't get is that they referred to Sam as part of the next generation. Isn't he going to be old compared to the rest? He's likely at least a sophomore. So he'll stick around for one extra year? Or are they just going to slowly start adding new cast in different grades so we don't loose everyone at once? We technically don't know the current grade of a lot of this cast. Everyone just assumed they were all sophomores but some could have been sophomores while others could have been freshmen. I think Brittany, Quinn, and Finn all in Spanish together is the only thing we have to go on. I forget if Santana was in that class.

Ugh, this cast is so good I don't want to see them good. Even though some of their stories are over played I don't want to see a new cast.
It's what I'm afraid about with Community. They should technically end the show after their two years but I don't want it to end or see a new cast. Friday Night Lights pulled it off but just barely.

Many of the characters that were once charming in some unique way are now just annoying (Rachel, Finn, Kurt; hell, add Sam to the list despite the fact that he's been useless from the start). I wish they'd continued with the Quinn / Mercedes friendship - I really thought that was pretty distinct and could have led to some nice characterization for both.
Bring Gwyneth back. She at least had some energy.

Most of the characters graduated at the end of season 3. Some left the show completely and others have been phased out. All of them were given satisfying mini-arcs to show what they move onto after school. New characters were introduced in season 4 and have, mostly successfully, been integrated into the main cast.mcrae said:

That Glee is still there if you talk to most people. Most eps are still excellent, and those that aren't are still fun as hell.
My "most people" is anecdotal, but so is yours:
At the start of the year there were about 12 of us who watched Glee weekly on my residence floor. Now only 3 do. All other 9 have given it up because we felt the show was very bad this season. I even tried watching part of last nights and I couldn't bear it. Sure, the music's still alright to listen to, but the characters are ridiculous.

Well the ratings are staying consistent (with the exception of an expected drop Thanksgiving week) so it seems like the people that actually matter aren't getting tired of the show.
I seem to recall some similar arguments when Heroes' quality started going down the toilet. Not saying it won't be able to sustain good ratings in the long run necessarily, but Glee's core audience has already had to shift at least a couple of times and there is a risk that at some point it'll blow up in their faces.
It's definitely not the same show it started as in any way. Watching the pilot and watching a new episode is like night and day on every level. A lot of people (including me) feel a bit betrayed by that massive tone shift, because we were all a part of hyping this show to high heaven and then what we got in the end wasn't what we expected. Whether that translates into lost viewers in the long run remains to be seen.

God, I still remember Sectionals from Season 1.
Flawless, intense, emotional, inspiring. Such brilliance in 50 minutes.
Glee has been better this season than the thing that occurred in the latter half of S1, but it's just sad to think how one could call those first 13 episodes "brilliant" and now the compliments only extend to "fun and touching."
I mean, even if the show has sustained high ratings, who calls Glee excellent nowadays? Practically no one.

No I meant in comparison to the way she's been acting the past couple of episodes(overbearing, clingy, etc) over Finn felt like a night and day type thing it was refreshing cause I was hating her character to death this season.Ashhong said:

Glee always has the music to fall back on. The story is all over the place but the songs are usually pretty good. For an episode that I really hated story wise, it had two really good covers. Which is probably a large reason that fan fiction is huge among Glee fans.
In a season and a half there's already 14,856 fics at fanfiction.net putting it 10th in popularity behind shows that have all had 5 or more seasons.
And since I was looking, dang at Supernatural with 43k stories.
I wonder if this show will ever bring up the fact that Finnocence was making out with Rachel while he was still dating Quinn. Or broke up with Rachel when he freaked out about loosing his popularity and Santana & Brittany made him an offer. So yeah, him lying about sleeping with Santana despite them not being together when it happened is a rather big deal. But I'm sure Rachel will be the only one blamed in all of this for making out with Puck and we'll get some more inappropriate Shue and Finn comfort scenes.

I hope that Kurt and Blaine sings together in their christmas Duet and not one of those I'm in different areas singing to someone else and they happen to be in tune.

Spoilers obviously although it's really just the song. No dialogue.
Another good episode and it was kind of nice that we got a break from Sue since last week's episode with her was just silly.
But WTF Emma? that was fast especially for her imo.
Not really sure how I feel about them changing the cast once they graduate since everyone on the show is already in their 20's anyways
since there's a lot of characters I like and would miss. Is everyone in the glee club in the same grade or is it a mixture of sophomores and Juniors etc?

Maybe they didn't want the sexual tension to be too blatant in the actual scene? It's in the single version, so I wouldn't necessarily say censorship is at work here.
