Fandom: Glee "A Night of Neglect"
Apr. 19th, 2011 10:09 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
escritoireazulSo I got home from work about twenty minutes ago, after a long, long day, and randomly decided to scrap my Remix Redux story (which I like, but which has gone pretty far afield) and start over. It is due Saturday. I am traveling Saturday and Friday. I work Thursday and Wednesday. I do not recommend doing this.
That being said, instead of working on it right now, I am going to watch the new episode of Glee and share with you my thoughts. I am sure you're thrilled.
Then I am going to bed, because EXHAUSTED.
By "some of it" Schue means they're having trouble accessing ANY of the Cheerios money, right? And part of me thinks, well duh, they should have seen this coming (it's very Sue to hide it in off-shore accounts) but part of me is super bored that they are doing fundraising again. (Ha, that will teach me to pause to make a note! Schue just added "any of it" which cracks me up.)
WOW, look at Sam angle himself toward Mercedes. (And away from Santana, but after that Mercedes/Sam prom fic I just wrote, you know where my mind is.)
"We pushed this stuff like crack." YES, Lauren, give him that LOOK, because dude, SCHUE IS BEING CREEPY AGAIN. (If that was a part of my Glee drinking game -- and dude, I totally need to do a Glee drinking game one of these days -- I would be so wasted just based on Schue being creepy.)
OMG NO LAUREN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Okay, so, apparently I need to dive back into the badass foursome series, because Lauren just broke my heart, how can you not know Mike's name, he is AMAZING.
DETROIT. They're going to Detroit. THIS IS HOW THAT FREAKS AND GEEKS CROSSOVER SHOULD HAPPEN. (For those of you not on Tumblr, I realized the other day that in F&G there is also a William McKinley high school, in Michigan, and I want an epic Michigan-Ohio rivalry between the two schools. HERE IS HOW!
"Why don't you just have your parents pay for it?" UGH RACHEL BERRY UGH. Classism for the lose.
"...in the dead of night, when I'm normally out bow hunting for hobos." And by hobos, she means things that go bump in the night. (God, I cannot get that Supernatural/Glee crossover out of my head, where Sue is a hunter and the Cheerios are her legacy and they pretty much own any monster in the Midwest.)
"Worst henchmen ever." I am cackling. It is an odd episode this season where Sue is my favorite.
UGH HOLLY WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SPEWING MENTAL ILLNESS ABLEISM? WHY? I WANT TO LIKE YOU AGAIN.
HAHAHA, THE LOOK MERCEDES GIVES RACHEL WHEN SHE CALLS HERSELF A NEGLECTED ARTIST. <3<3<3
THE HECKLING CLUB I AM WEEPING WITH LAUGHTER.
OKAY, LAUREN, WAY TO REDEEM YOURSELF BY BACKING UP YOUR GIRL TINA AND HER CHOICE OF MUSIC.
Mike is tired of his dancing being overshadowed by all of them singing. ME TOO, MIKE CHANG YOU DELIGHTFUL BOY YOU. Me too.
Oooh, Mercedes wants to do Aretha, because the glee club neglects her. I see you there, meta. And as of right now, I don't think I mind.
What. Rachel. What.
I can't even.
"My Heart Will Go On" is one of the least neglected songs ever and I want to find this funny, but I cannot. I cannot.
Hahahaha, oh god, Mike's brake screeching noise when Rachel says she'll do the finale. I LOVE YOU MIKE. And Tina's right there with him, calling Rachel on her crap. I LOVE YOU BOTH. BE AWESOME FOREVER OKAY.
Oh god, Sunshine, you and Rachel should hang out forever talking about how much better you are than everyone else around you. I am eye rolling so hard right now. SO HARD. (And yet, because I haven't heard this song and dance from her a thousand times before, it doesn't frustrate me as much as when Rachel does it. UGH. Conflicted.)
HEE. Puck. <3 And Rachel's little bang blow (pervy) makes me laugh and like her again.
(I love how eager Tina and Mike are to hear Sunshine.)
OMG Puck and Sam sitting together while everyone else stands as a group. Sam totally needs an actual friend, not just girls he's dated and Finn his frenemy, and Puck with all his emotions he's finally letting himself feel this season, god, Puck + feeeeeeeeelings <3<3<3.
Holy crap, get it Sunshine.
Rachel, did you bedazzle ever mic in Ohio? Damn, girl.
I love how Mercedes hesitates, because Sunshine is seriously good and Mercedes does see her as a threat, but claps anyway. That is how you think you are awesome and yet still appreciate when others are awesome too.
OMG the brainiacs have the most adorable little club thing ever. DOOOOORKS. I love you.
And the look on Lauren's and Quinn's faces when Rachel bumps Mercedes to the middle spot, OMG, I WANT THAT POWER TRIO.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
RESPECT ISN'T SOMETHING YOU ASK FOR YOU HAVE TO DEMAND IT.
If the show undercuts this message just to give Rachel the spotlight again I AM GOING TO SHANK THINGS. (By which I mean, once again shows us that only Rachel can demand the spotlight, when anyone else does it, they are both ridiculous and wrong.)
Hahahaha, Lauren as Mercedes' manager. I am literally weeping with joyful laughter.
UGH BORING ADULTS BORING BORING BORING
"I hear that OCD symptoms tend to get worse when the person is under great stress." Oh, yes, do tell us all your wisdom about mental illness, you freaking asshole.
UGH another love triangle. UGH adults. DO NOT CARE. And it's frustrating, because on a different show, Emma's story would be really intense and I would love it. As it is, her line about being so tired of fighting the OCD sort of killed me, and then Schue had to go and ruin it by being himself and then the show had to ruin it by being the show.
Mercedes' demands, oh god. I am simultaneously dying with laughter and also -- I don't even know. God, show, I wish I could just trust you and enjoy what happens.
LAUREN FUCKING ZIZES MAKES THE BEST FACES.
A LITTER OF FLUFFY PUPPIES.
UGH even the League/Legion of Doom is BORING. Go away adults.
Wait, someone DOESN'T want to sing about their feelings? Holly, rock on.
"Puckerman is out right now scouring pounds for the perfect Pomeranian." I just died a little at so much awesome in that sentence. (Puck playing with puppies. The alliteration. Alliteration, particularly with words that begin with "p," is one of my favorite things ever. Puck jumping to it to keep Mercedes -- and by extension, Lauren -- happy. SO MANY GOOD THINGS.)
OMG SANTANA I CAN'T EVEN. And Blaine giving in to his anger for once. GOD EVERYONE HAS FEEEEEELINGS THIS SEASON. EVERYONE IS LETTING GO OF THEIR TIGHT, TIGHT CONTROL AND HAVING FEEEEEELINGS.
Haha, Puck wants to hit the arcade instead, now that Sunshine isn't going. I'll go! I spent many a happy hour at the arcade during grad school.
Ha, that look Santana and Brad exchange. A+ Oh, piano man, you crack me up with your silent, silent ways.
JESUS CHRIST TINA YOUR VOICE KILLS ME YOU ARE SO AMAZING. I have already listened to this song a billion times and I still forget to breathe while listening to it.
IF SHE STARTS CRYING BECAUSE OF THE HECKLING, THE ONLY SONG WE'VE HEARD FROM HER SINCE FUCKING SECTIONALS, I'M GOING TO START SHANKING AGAIN.
GODDAMN IT GODDAMN IT GODDAMN IT GODDAMN IT GODDAMN IT GODDAMN IT
GODDAMN IT
SCHUE YOU CAN SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH.
OMG Mike's dancing. SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. And Blaine and Kurt leaping up to cheer him on! (You know what would make good storytelling sense? If they'd brought all the Warblers.) And also, since I was distracted earlier, I love that Kurt misses his friends on one hand, but on the other hand, when he left, he wasn't close to them at all. So I am torn. Sloppy pacing and writing, dudes.
Sam shaking Mike because it was so awesome. Dude, SAMMY FREAKING EVANS HAS FRIENDS! So pleased.
Oh, god, Rachel Berry is of course the ~reasonable one. *eye freaking roll* Though, wow, Mercedes, aren't you heart breaking right now? And Rachel is actually kind of enjoyable, too, a balance of driven and not fully horrible.
Wait, weren't they doing a duet? Now Holly has a solo? And a full compliment of strings. This is why them needing to do fundraisers to go to competitions is so ridiculous. Okay, wow, I like this song a lot, both her performance of it and story-wise. Nicely done with Holly. (Though, ugh, oddly paced, as usual.)
Holy shit, MERCEDES LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMAZING. I CAN'T, I CAN'T, I CAN'T. I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THIS.
OMG Blaine's and Kurt's faces.
Aww, tiny Lauren and Puck moment.
I want Rachel + happiness + friends + success. I am tired of Rachel being so focused on Finn. I feel like they are setting it up so she's learning a lesson from Mercedes' song and will finally tell him that she needs him to love her, which a) NO and b) she does all the time.
I love the glee club cheering her on. And also, dear god, MOST AMAZING DRESS. I love you, Mercedes.
WHERE THE HELL IS BEISTE? SHE WOULD TOTALLY BE THERE SUPPORTING THEM AND WOULD HAVE SHUT THOSE HECKLERS RIGHT UP.
OMG MIKE AND HIS LITTLE HEART HANDS. I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T.
Okay, so the hermaphrodite jokes were uncalled for. Fail, Glee. But I do love that something Holly taught was useful to them. And the look in Brittany's face at the end there.
Though, uh, abrupt ending much?
Uh, so, that happened.
That being said, instead of working on it right now, I am going to watch the new episode of Glee and share with you my thoughts. I am sure you're thrilled.
