I’m rewatching Glee, and on the first ever Sectionals episode with the Warblers (S2) when they’re performing “Raise Your Glass”, Darren Criss (Blaine) starts to sing early, realizes, gets back in his place and then sings at the correct moment. Was this intentional and I’m just stupid? Was it a genuine mistake that Ryan didn’t care to have re-shot? Sorry

Went to a really free market in my city a few weeks ago and came across this absolute gem.

I hate how Tina was such a horrible Glee Club veteran in S4-5. Yes, she was only 18 years old, and no, she wasn’t required to be a role model in the club like, say, Will the teacher or Blaine the lead soloist was, but I would’ve at least expected her (alongside Brittany, Sam, etc.) to set a better example for the newcomers. Actually, I say that for all the seniors (Sam, Artie, Brittany) after the OG13 left.

To elaborate on what I mean, I despised how the seniors were so desperate for popularity after their Nationals win that they kowtowed to Kitty’s reign of terror. From them sitting at the popular lunch table and entertaining Kitty’s ideas for an all-white (flowers AND people) homecoming float to participating in the Left Behind club’s legit traumatic prank on Dottie at Breadstix, it’s clear that they had immediately forgotten the lessons of staying true to yourself that they’d learned since joining the New Directions.

I just finished rewatching the Grease episode and I hate how she, Brittany, and Sugar played along with making fun of Marley at the sleepover while Kitty sang “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee.” They couldve stood up for the new girl but instead they kept up a toxic atmosphere just to…what? Fit in? They’re already back to being slushied and unpopular. To appease Sue’s new Bible-thumping, somersaulting henchman?

More specifically, I wanted to focus on Tina since I feel like she had the biggest downgrade as a senior member. It was so weird how Tina strutted through the halls of McKinley in S4-5 with this new confident, outgoing persona, which actually just translated to mean-spiritedness. Her blaming Marley and saying that she “face-planted” at Sectionals when she fainted from the eating disorder she was suffering from was ridiculous, especially after most of the club had already forgiven her for it (because what was there to forgive?).

I also peeped the way she tried to hold in her laughter (the image for this post) when Kitty tried to make fun of Mercedes’s “L.A. dreams being shattered.” WTF??? Is this the Tina from Season 1 who was so insecure that she faked a stutter and was a wallflower goth, but still went out on a limb to join the Glee Club, and was thick as thieves with Mercedes? No. It’s a Tina who’s changed her wardrobe (admittedly, I love both goth Tina and 60’s Tina’s styles) and her attitude, but is still deeply insecure, to the point of taking it out on younger club members and old friends.

This is also more of an issue on the writers’ part than a direct character flaw, but I can’t think of a single friendship she formed with any of the S4 newbies.

S4-5 Tina reminds me of those toxic senior kids in the theatre department who’s insanely jealous of an underclassman getting the lead and is full of themselves, yet will drop everything to grovel for one of the popular kids. And I hate that for those kids. And I hate that for Tina Cohen-Chang.

I'm back in the fanfic world because real life is bonkers. I can LITERALLY only remember bits and pieces. Here's what I got:

- Faberry is main but of course Brittana, Mattcedes(?), Kurt/Karofsky, Puck/Lauren idk and Quinn's mom is dating some guy named Vinnie who has a drive in movie theater??

- Rachel accidentally breaks Quinn's foot in her bedroom door when Quinn is trying to tell her that she's in love with her?? Rachel's dad is a doctor and they go to the hospital.

- A local legend of a Russian dancer helps Quinn rehab her foot. And Mike and Brittany are trained by her on the downlow. Brittany also has some fainting goat condition or something???

- Karofsky is super sweet and romantic and like...takes Kurt on a date to a peacock-filled restaurant?? And a whole bunch of blue collar guys eat there??

-Matt comes back and is dating Mercedes. I think they go skydiving on a date and eat some spicy food on another???

I'm losing my mind, people. I can't remember anything else.

I think Marley was the only student Sue wasn’t able to come up w
A name for or be as mean to lol
In s4:5 the role you were born to play
Sue struggled to come up with a name for Marley she ends up complementing her lmfao took me back to pitch perfect 2 when Becca is trying to insult da sound machine lol

Meanwhile she’s just clocking unique left and right

And why the hell is she always in that bathroom 😂😂😂

Season 2 episode 13: comeback

Is there any other times this happens?

I watched Glee way too young when it originally aired, I rewatched it again in high school, and I'm now watching it as an adult. I ALWAYS thought Will was a red flag even when I was 8, but oh my his a MAJOR red flag. I hated how they made Terri the villain, as if she was ever wrong, now she was completely wrong for faking the pregnancy. But Will was wild, he did pick glee over his marriage, he loved having a work wife, and he was mean to Terri. Maybe its the feeling of being trapped in that relationship that made him act out. Even in his relationship with Emma, especially in season 3 ep 17. When they're planning the wedding and he moves the wedding date, which she is clearly uncomfortable with, he then tries to have the wedding on a field, when he KNOWS she has a mental illness, all so his glee kids can make it to the wedding. Emma is an enabler so thats why their relationship works. I don't know if its because I'm watching it high, but I completely understand Terri.

A little less conversation - Will’s cover

Will needs to apologize to the whole Presley enterprise & Elvis and Stitch fan because wtf.
I've heard covers of Elvis ’ songs done in Spanish and Will Shuester has done the impossible, made me super dislike an Elvis song (cue dramatics even though it's a cover😂)

He deserves community service for wearing the madator costume -.-

Y'all, I would've paid good money to get a full recreation of this movie with the Glee cast.

We were absolutely ROBBED in the episode version of There's A Light'! Kurt's bridge in the album version is so good and it was cut from the episode. https://youtu.be/zs-oVon7L2I?si=fyD3-HMzOXECdGyp

DUETS' WINNER: 1st was River Deep, Mountain High with 307, 2nd was [Mraz/Caillat's] Lucky with 69 (nice), and 3rd was Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy with 62.
4th was Don't Go Breaking My Heart with 34, 5th was Le Jazz Hot! with 22, and 6th/last was With You, I'm Born Again with 5.

And with that - Pink Houses no longer sits alone for least favorite, both currently sharing last place across all seasons with 5 votes each.
River Deep, Mountain High is also only the 3rd song in total to get 300+ votes, putting it at 3rd across all seasons and if last season was any indication, a guaranteed spot in Season 2's Top 6.

i’m rewatching glee and i know it’s all about singing and rachel is the main character and her voice is “objectively good”

but i actually HATE her singing voice it’s so annoying and makes my ears bleed

thank you
that is all

They talk like...once ?

I love imagining Blaine in his bedroom alone mad as hell Googling "songs about cheating" and reading the lyrics to It's Not Right, But It's Okay and nodding aggressively while practicing his lil sassy hand

Rewatching s6 last night and barely noticed the Pleek photo😂😂 SUE HAS THE PLEEK PHOTO🤣🤣 I had to pause cause it’s hilarious. She even has a close up of the slushie lmfao
This would have been more hilarious if Sue also had the photo of Rachel after she got egged.
I can’t🤣

Not Sue rebooting the muckraker & promoting rumors in s3 with this on her board s1😂😂
The irony 😂😂
I just noticed it 💀

In the episode, we see the Glee club members pair off to perform ballads but we never really hear anyone perform them aside from Rachel and Will. What is your headcanon/idea you would have the other pairs perform for that episode?

The pairs were: Puck/Mercedes, Artie/Quinn, Tina/Mike, Kurt/Finn, Santana/Brittany.

I know it’s just a tv show but how were people just able to randomly show up at other people’s schools in the middle of the day with no problems or people questioning them. Is there no such thing as campus security?

Currently doing a rewatch and am at the part when Sue talks about funding to SpEd being cut, and how it’s ridiculous their school’s funding flew the Glee club to Nationals despite them not having a song and waiting until the last minute to pick a song for the competition. 💀

EXTRA PERFORMANCE:
[A Chorus Line's] Sing! (Tina & Mike)

*Will be put in a poll for "Extras" after the Season 2 finale poll.*
-----
NEXT POLL: Will be a 2-PARTER! (Glee's) Rocky Horror has 8 songs, so it will be 2 polls of 4.
---------

Welcome to the Glee Club, Sam.

Now you may be thinking, "Did you seriously put 'Sing!' as an extra and not 'With You, I'm Born Again'?!" And the answer... is yes. Because although they're both actually MY top 2 of the episode, objectively I think they're also the 2 weakest of the episode, and I NEED to know how many votes With You, I'm Born Again would get, so Sing! gets set aside for now.

Now I'm fully expecting 'Born Again to get last, so I hope Le Jazz Hot! wins. I hate jazz and I hate that song, but love the way Kurt performed it, he deserves to win for the effort alone.

GRILLED CHEESUS'S WINNER: 1st was I Want To Hold Your Hand by with 183 (🎉), 2nd was Losing My Religion with 165 (🎉), and 3rd was One Of Us with 68.

This bothered me a bit the first time I watched Glee, but I’ve been rewatching and am once again a bit disappointed that they had Coach Beastie transition. I’m into the second season right now and this thought popped back up when watching Never Been Kissed.
At least at the beginning, the character’s entire strength was that she was a straight, masculine woman. She literally entered the show as being a female fighting for her spot in a male-dominated space (and she def earns her position!)
Specifically in S2 E6, she gets upset about the boys imagining her to “cool down” because she wants to be treated and seen as a lady. Of course I understand the urge many trans men have to feel/ be perceived as feminine prior to transitioning, but the scene of her and Will in the locker room seemed so genuine.
Anyway, I wish they just kept the character as a masculine woman. It would’ve perhaps even been nice to see her with a boyfriend. I do appreciate their decision to include a trans character, but Coach was just a cheap out.

Im sure this was already asked but I'm new to the sub, I have however watched glee an outstanding 11 times and made my family watch at least twice, im curious besides the obvious what does the fox say, what were the not purposeful moments that made you cringe, mine is the duets where people are mad and doing the head tilts and performative fighting movements

In A Night Of Neglect, Emma mentions that she is 32, but began her senior year in 1997 (according to Dance With Somebody), according to a Glee website. But I have doubt on this, given girls typically start their senior year at age 17 or 18.

Given the episode took place in April 2011, this would peg her birthday in either October-December 1978 or Jan 1979. My money is on the latter.

The show is wacky with continuity.

What is your thoughts?
