Whatever it was I don't care I'm staying behind until Cuwi starts watching again so I have someone to talk about the episodes with while I watch them.

BrianWilly posted:Blurred Lines starring Schuester and his students had better be the most magnificent trainwreck on the planet. There's no way they're not perfectly aware of how creepy and uncomfortable it's going to be. Your faith in this show is adorable sometimes.  And really? Paolo San Pablo? 'San' is Espaņol for Saint. Paolo San Pablo is literally Spanish Jesse St. James.

Well I mean, they keep talking about Will being creepy with the kids -- once in this episode, once in the season premiere, once even back in the s4 finale -- and there were like three mentions this week from the kids (Artie, Kitty, and Jake) about how arbitrary his lessons have gotten. Either the writers are completely aware of how the viewers see Will, or else...well, there's actually no other option here! What they'll do with it, if anything, is a bit harder to guess at. But if I didn't at least anticipate the show making mad fun of Will for butt-grinding with his students to a song that entered the public zeitgeist when Robin Thicke butt-grinded with a quarter-dressed girl young enough to be his daughter, I might as well throw in the towel at this show. Also of note, the last time Will butt-grinded with his students was in the first Britney episode, and it was 'cause the show was mocking the crap outta his mid-life crisis. Also, the last time Will and Sue got into a debate over freedom of expression, in the Rocky Horror episode, the show actually ended up siding a bit more with Sue on the matter. DON'T YOU SEE IT'S ALL SO LOGICAL

At this point, it seems very in character that Will would be singing in that song and I would expect nothing less from his character. Marley singing her song makes sense too. I want more Starchild. That entire performance was aces.

The thing that keeps Will Schuester employed as an educator and lets him win Teacher of the Year is the same thing that gives these kids a massive cash influx to afford all the trendy clothes and also buy plane tickets every weekend. Edit: And also the same thing that ensures multiple nominations for prom king/queen out of the glee club even in a year where the only Cheerio is a sophmomore. xeria fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Nov 12, 2013 |

The other times i have heard Will being called creepy it is usually because he stood next to a female student, which from what i understand is illegal in the US school system, and now giving silly pointless lessons is apparently also creepy, as opposed to what Glee has always done.

Like 90% of the time Will is being creepy, it's because he's using glee club to try and impress/hook up with Emma. He inserted himself into a glee club performance of Toxic just to go LOOK EMMA LOOK I'M SEXY AND DARING AND THRILLING! He staged a production of RHPS -- and took over as Rocky when Sam expressed discomfort at being so underdressed -- just because Dr. Carl took Emma to see it and she enjoyed herself. Will seemingly being an rear end to his female students* is separate from his occasional creepiness, which is separate from him just being a terrible educator in general. *(Really, Will is just an rear end, period. Suddenly there's a ZERO TOLERANCE TO VIOLENCE policy when Santana slaps Finn, but then also he's yelling at Artie to forget about it when Blaine gets slushied with rock salt by their main show choir competition -- and has to miss several days of school and get surgery as a result.)

If they're going back in time, maybe Finn will come back for a couple songs!

God's balls, they're doing that loving Ylvis fox song in episode 7 and now I actually want to set something on fire. Newsflash, The Universe: The minute you take that song out of original context it becomes completely unfunny

Actually, it's a Starchild song. (Yes, yes, I know,  , but I just wanted to point out who was singing it.)

I just discovered AutoStraddle's episode recaps. Hilariously, they were losing their love for the show from like episode 8 of the first season. I guess it really did always suck

I seems like it kind of had a different breaking point for almost everyone. Some people think the first 13 were great while the rest of it was dreck. Others hold the first two whole seasons in high regard and loathe everything else. Some people think it's still pretty fun entertainment even still! It's probably at least a little tied to which characters you got attached to and how hosed over they may or may not have gotten at whichever point of the show. I think the watchability (or re-watchability) of the first 13 episodes, at least, relies on how willing are you to forgive a teen pregnancy AND fake pregnancy plot combo right out of the gate.

No clue. I am still watching in horror as the show stumbles through transgendered bathroom rights and school bullying. Will appears to be around still.

I know he changed his mind in the end but it was still hilarious to see Will go straight from giving the first good bit of support he'd done in years to throwing that student under the bus so he could keep twerkin.

This episode was lacking in Santana, Dani, and Starchild. I hope they were off on some great big fabulous adventure somewhere in the city.... The New York scenes, while I didn't like them at first, keep me watching and I don't care for the Marley/Jake relationship fallout. Will is still terrible. Everyone tells him that blurred lines is not what he thinks it is, but he doesn't care. He wants to twerk with his students and stand outside bathrooms. The Unique situation was handled... okay? I'm not a fan of Unique (don't like the actor - thanks Glee project) but that storyline was really well played.

I loved the scene of where he gets fired. I sort of tune out, I thought we was fired, and was going to appeal that the board, but instead he appealed the twerking ban and nothing more was said about him being fired? Do I need to tune out more or less? I love Sue, but it is really getting on nerves that she calls Unique "he" continuously.

I think the only grounds Sue had for firing Will was because he was twerking with students, so once he appealed the school board on that, there was no actual basis for firing him, more's the pity. You didn't miss anything, the episode just wasn't very clear about it. Sue has been consistently transphobic, so it's no shock that she's purposely misgendering Unique. I kinda liked that plot, though Unique was so hilarious last week that I wish she got some meatier storylines that didn't just involve her being utterly loving miserable all the time. Kurt and Rachel's storyline was pretty great this week, for...various reasons.
