412. Glee 2.07 - The Substitute ...
It's the Gwyneth Paltrow's episode, y'all ... AND
I LOVED IT! In fact, this is easily one of my favorite episodes. Gwyneth Paltrow's character, Holly Holliday -- you can either think of her as porn star or drag queen, per Terri's quip *lol* -- brings the show into one fun, enjoyable, quirky, and most importantly FRESH episode. I love how she tackles the more recent songs. I mean, we all know how "old" Mr. Schuester can be with his songs list. But listen to Gwyneth singing "Forget You" is just so hip. The way she teaches the function of conjuction with singing OR using Lindsay Lohan's life as introduction to Spanish is smart!! PLUS, she goes face to face with Sue Sylvester and comes out with head held high; and she can tell Rachel that she's a drag THEN perform that lovely dance (by the way, I so want to see Chicago again!) is awesome.
I know, I know, I keep praising her ... but what can I say, I love her in this episode (and she is not even one of my favorite actresses!). Totally. I mean, yeah, the kids are not getting enough singing, but hey, we do see Mike and his amazing dance again, and Artie/Mercedes has that fun addition to "Forget You". I'm good with it, we will be back to original programming soon, right?
As for the other plots ... I laughed hard when Beiste asks Sue that if the football team is dismissed, who's The Cheerios will be cheering on. YAY! Beiste 1, Sue 0. I also like how they tackle the issue of healthy food, and on Mercedes's case, her friendship with Kurt. I hope to see her with boyfriend soon. Talk about Kurt, I still don't see Blaine as Kurt's boyfriend in this episode. In fact, I see the more as good buddies. I'm still keep my reservation on Karofsky. I can survive without Terri though ...
Notes #1: How funny is Santana's reaction to Rachel's announcement? *grin*
Notes #2: Love Kurt's reaction when he watches Rachel and Holly's performing Nowadays/Hot Honey Rags (and love that Quinn is leaning on him)
All in all, again, LOVE IT!
By the way, the mini-Glee kids are so cuuuuute!!! I want to take them home and squeeze them
