...! posted:Ugh, Rachel is becoming more and more insufferable each episode. She was always a bit stuck-up, but I don't remember her ever being such a superbitch. This is a lot closer to original Rachel, really. Insufferable with an ego bigger than her nose. Except now one hundred fold thanks to Funny Girl.

Except I had to physically restrain myself from leaping out of the chair and applauding when she told off Whoopi and quit NYADA. Screw NYADA, she made a good call there. Raze dat poo poo and salt the earth. Oh and I wanted to spoon this episode.

I can't imagine Rachel not trying to go back on this decision at some point. Something devastating is in her near future. This episode was pretty great. Kurt's dad is The Best Dude.

So how much will I hate myself if I come back now after abandoning this show mid season 3? I'm kind of curious about the NY setting, and I do still kind of have a crush on Sam.

I would not be surprised if Funny Girl flops and Rachel is left to deal with her mistakes. That said -- there was no need to have a Very Special Episode with Kurt getting bashed. This episode had some weird juxtapositions. I was really put off by the bashing (done so many times in other shows that it almost seems cliche at this point) and then there was the will they or won't they will Sam and Mercedes. Maybe next week's episode will be better? Last week's episode was really good! I like that we're now sometime in January/Feb of 2014! YAY time jump.

So I skim this thread from time to time, having not seen an episode since The Quarterback. I see that New Directions lost, Kurt gets bashed, Brittney is smart, and Rachel quits NYADAA. Or something. Can anyone give me a better "And that's what you missed, on GLEE!" recap? It's a morbid curiosity. Any songs I should listen to that were exceptionally good/bad?

Because the cosmos are evidently buttscrewing themselves from the unknowable despair of people becoming interested in Glee again, songs for next week went up literally a few hours after this week's episode aired.  I guess we're now at First Listen Wheneverthefuck.Let the 80s magic of this week's songs fill your veins with power.

Skychrono posted:None of that sounds fun. Like.. a lot of down notes, no upswing? The 100-episode 2parter very much plays like a series finale -- a lot of reunions, re-performances of past covered songs, and Schuester turning off the lights to the choir room for good. It's probably worth watching if you kept up with the show at all but aren't invested in continuing, because you can just treat it like a finale. I haven't watched it since but multiple people here and elsewhere have said the move to NYC fulltime seems to have improved the show as a whole. If you have any interest in the continued adventures of Rachel, Sam, Kurt, Blaine, Artie, and Mercedes (and supposedly Santana again at some point) then the last couple weeks would probably be worth a look as well. If none of those characters interest you, then yeah -- watch episodes 100/101 and call it a day.

But the season so far has actually been far more irreverent and comical than it hasn't (he says, right in the wake of the gaybashing plot). I mean, you've also missed the episode where Blaine hallucinated puppets for an hour and Sam tried to become Lady Gaga to impress a cast member of Spring Awakening. The only real legitimate "heavy" plots up until last week's episode was the thing with Finn.

They beat up the wrong person  I would happily watch an episode of Rachel being beaten with sticks if that didn't mean there would be 10 more episodes all about her brave suffering. Can't wait for Funny Girl to go down in flames, there's been too much foreshadowing.The Sam/Mercedes thing is bizarre too. No matter how many times he says "OUR CHEMISTRY IS RIDICULOUS," it doesn't make up for their complete lack of chemistry. And a 18(?)-year-old singing "I'm Still Here" . . . Glee.

If there are still any straight men in this thread, Naya Rivera is single again. edit: and lol at people thinking Funny Girl will be a flop. Foreshadowing? The first NY ep started with Rachel getting a chauffeur because the preview tour/performances were such a success. They might abandon it by the end of the season because that would give more options for Rachel's character, but I think she and the play will be a hit. the truth fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Apr 10, 2014 |

I find myself thinking more that she could very well just screw it up for herself, by being a crazy-rear end entitled diva or skirting responsibilities. Really, I just want to see her fail in some way. This show is always stronger when it deals with the idea of dreams more often than not working out.

I can't believe I've paid this much attention to Glee, but iirc she doesn't get the car because she's so great, but because he doesn't want anything to distract her. He also mentions that they've restaged the entire show (which is huge) and they've been doing a lot of out-of-town tryouts (but still need a lot of work before opening in the city -- not good). I also just hate Rachel and really want to see her fail, obviously.

Not auditions, it means trying out the whole show outside the city. It used to be a good way to find and fix problems, but you can't really do it anymore because the economics are different and also the internet exists. If they did it with Funny Girl anyway, and in multiple cities, something is definitely up with the show. (Or they were just spinning bullshit to explain why it hasn't opened yet despite the time jump.)

Future episode Rachel spoilers: The episode in two weeks looks like it has her show finally opening. And the week after that, supposedly it's such a huge success that suddenly everyone wants Rachel to do everything, including Hollywood, so now she has to decide what kind of 'star' path she wants to pursue. So...yeah, though there are hints that she possibly fucks it all up somehow! Maybe! Also, S5 got shortened to 20 episodes, so there are five more left. And Fox is considering tacking the two episodes they shaved off of this season (due to the delayed start) onto next season.

Good luck coming up with excuses for passing your NYADA tests when you're in LA! I just figured Funny Girl wouldn't last that long because they have almost exhausted the songs. I expect a DROMP reprisal for the opening night, but who knows what they'll do beyond that. Before X-Factor was canceled, Lea Michele said she was down with taking Demi Lovato's seat next season. I think she is ready to move on.

Ryan Murphy gives the most in-depth interview anyone has given about the show in a while. Includes some vague and not-so-vague spoilers about the future direction of Glee. Season 6 will not be New York-centric. But it also doesn't sound like we're returning to high school either, other than very sporadically. It sounds to me like he wants to focus on the originals. As in, the original originals. Despair for Quinn some more, I guess? (And as usual, take everything he says with salty grains, plans may change, blahdablah etc.)

This show really never recovered after the loss of Cory Monteith, sadly, and it's really obvious that the (already spotty by then) writing has completely floundered since. Like the writers are still in shock mode. It was once one of my favorite shows on television and I just can't get into it anymore because now watching just makes me depressed.

Not happy about one of the characters he mentioned having a big part in the last scene. It doesn't sound like the show has another 22 episodes left, to be honest. I think a focused, carefully thought out mini-season of 12 or so episodes (like the first part of S1) would be best. Heck, even four episodes would probably be enough to accomplish what they're aiming for.

As much as I would love to see what special brand of insanity they could unleash on Quinn next (plane crash! ripped from the headlines!), god, I hope she stays away for good. 100/101 should just be the series finale for "all characters who aren't of crucial importance to the show's ongoing storylines" (eg. Quinn, Mike, Tina).
