(Spoilers obviously)
1x12 Mattress review

Emma?!
How could you just forget about sectionals?? SERIOUSLY. What kind of groupie/stalker are you that you don’t have Will’s entire schedule memorised so that you know exactly where to be and when?! You’re giving us a bad name, Pillsbury.
Step it up.
Oh, and the fact that you’re getting married to Ken still fills me with bile. I hope you know this.

I love that Sue gets work down. And that she had her tear ducts ripped out.
She’s fucking hardcore.

“Strangely, it did make me feel more American.”
ARTIE. YOU’RE HERE.
And saying wonderful things.
Do this more.
I felt like I was part of a conspiracy when Kurt spoke. I was like crouching into my computer, getting all excited, making plans in my head for subterfuge.
Tina looked pretty. That is all.

Aw, my lovely Quinn. I never knew you were so lonely.
ANYWAYS. When she talks about getting into the photo, I’m having like weird Lizzie Maguire flashbacks to when Gordo wanted to get the most yearbook pictures, so he was just like sneaking into them and then running after the flash went.
Please let Quinn wear a fake moustache or wig or something.

Terri, you do not get your husband.
You know, last week, I was thinking “YES. She finally has some humanity. Now I’m actually sympathising with her. WOOT.” but now I’m just like “Fuck you. I hope he leaves you on the street with nothing but your fake pregnancy pillow to keep you comfortable. AND THEN when you‘re lying on it, thinking that this is bad as it gets, I want a homeless person‘s dog to take your pregnancy pillow so you don‘t even have a place to rest your head!”

Aw, Rachel.
Aw, Glee Club.
Well, if she wants it, she can have it. ^_^ BUT WHO ELSE?!!?

LOOK AT EMMA.
More than one scene. SCORE.
OOOOH. Will/Emma scene. I love them. Please let them be together. I’ve just got this really weird feeling that like she’s still going to stay with Ken, even when Will leaves Terri just to prove something to herself and to Will and to Ken. And I don’t like that. But hopefully it will lead to some wonderful jealousy and angst-y Will and that sits very well with me. XD haha.
“He has 74 flaws, as of yesterday.”
Hm. Would have guessed more.
WHY IS EMMA MARRYING HIM?!?!
DREAM SCENARIO:
When Emma said, “And that is why I’m marrying him.” I wanted Will to say, “Really? I thought it was because you didn’t want to be alone.” and then he walks out, STOICALLY, so that she can think about what she’s done.
Yeah…
And also, I want the show to acknowledge the attraction from Will to Emma. Too much of it is about the fact that she’s IN LOVE with him, but I think we’ve seen enough evidence to know he feels the same. And I’d like us to SEE MORE OF IT.

THE HUNT FOR A CO-CAPTAIN BEGINS:
1) I love that she didn’t just go to Finn, because that’s what I assumed was going to happen.
2) Artie being pushed into a corner, I loved. He plays panicked oh so well.
LOLZ. I wouldn’t lean if it gave me stomach rolls either. Nuh-uh. I’m shallow.
OH, but I’d sit on his lap. Problem solved.
3) Oh, Finn… You’re the co-captain. My guess was right that he would end up the co-captain, but I prefer the way it was done.

SMILE LESSONS.
I adored their performance. It was so sweet.
And the look Finn gives her when she smacks his bum. LOL.
But mostly, I just loved how cute and approachable Rachel seemed. I won’t lie, she’s not my favourite Glee member, and it’s not that I hate her, just that I love others more. And it’s mainly because she’s so hyperactive and cocky and then simultaneously playing the victim of everyone else’s scorn- which is hard to latch onto, plus, sometimes... She’s really annoying. Anyways, but she has these moments where I fall in love with her all over again, fall in love with her because she’s so sad and sympathy-needing or (as with this time) because she is exactly the opposite. It’s nice seeing her so happy.
I was getting a little sick of her being the punch line to every joke.

NO. DON’T DRAW ON HIS FACE.

“How do you spell Loser? I want to write it on his face.”
If you can’t spell it (with the exceptions of special educational needs or being smacked on the head with a car or something), then you’re one.

Ow. Back to sad Rachel face.
That did not last long.
HM.
How many times will this storyline where Finn has to choose between football and Glee come about? GR. Think of some more.
Look at High School Musical (because there’s an awesome moment of cinema to compare yourself to) but eventually everyone learned to accept it.
I’m not saying everyone has to learn to accept it. That’s not what High School is like. But it’d be nice, if Finn learned to accept it.
I don’t know. That’s kind of why I’m not a writer.

Random thought: They are so lucky. We didn’t get a mirror at our school photos. So people had like mascara goop, sticky-up hair, everything and nobody told you.
It’s traumatic.

FINALLY.
Mattress storyline.
I was like “When is that coming about?” and then moody photographer mentioned it, and I was like “YES. JUMP! IT‘S COMING!”

YEAH, FINN. FEEL BAD.
Oh, Quinn, there you were last episode thinking that you and Finn were going to be in love again, but now you see him staring at Rachel, and arguing with Rachel, and being in love… with Rachel. But you have such pretty hair.
“YES. FINN.”
I love the way she says his name. It makes me LOL.

OMG. WHAT MAKES ME LOL HARDER.
ARTIE.
His reaction is precious anyway. And I’d have been content to leave it at that.
But then he says:
“I’m going to get some black suspenders to slip off…”
And I die. I flail and die.

EXCEPT.
Tina is sat right by him. TINA IS SAT RIGHT BY HIM.
They’re all civil.
I WANTED SOME ANGST. I wanted some tension between them.
But the writers appear to have forgotten that they had an argument.
*heart breaks*
And now that she doesn’t stammer, her lines (and thus her screen time) are like half as long.
We need a Tina eppy in the back 9. YES?

Mercedes and Kurt’s faces are wonderful. They are fierce bitches. ENOUGH SAID.

Artie brushing his hair in the background makes me happy. And I don’t know why.
Mercedes, you so rocking. And I love that Matt was listening to you. I can’t help it, I really ship these two. Lol. I don’t even know if they’ve spoken to each other but in my head, he loves her. =D
MUCH LOLZ at Rachel’s enthusiastic commercial acting.
And at Puck’s amateur dramatics.

YES. JUMP.
AND THEY WILL JUMP.
THEY’RE JUMPING.
Ow, Artie can’t jump. What will he do?
Perch himself on one of the beds in the corner. Nice.
OMGOSH. They bounced him!!
Has anyone ever done that like on a trampoline? Everytime someone bounces me, I end up like flailing in the air like there’s something wrong with me. Haha.

OMGOSH! WILL’S GOING TO FIND OUT!
I don’t know how this kind of got pushed out of my mind. Maybe it was all the jumping. BUT I SERIOUSLY FORGOT that that was coming in the first 13 episodes.
And then as soon as he was going through her shizz, I was like “THIS IS IT. THIS IS IT. THIS IS IT.” and then he found the cushion!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I was fucking in love with that scene.
I don’t know why, I have been thinking about how he will react for the longest time but I’ve always imagined him kind of breaking down, being quite soft about it, I am so in love with the fact that he flipped his shit a little bit. When he threw that pillow past her, I was like “AHHHH, THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!”
OMG. And it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. When he was backing her into the corner, I was so totally in love with it.
“ARE YOU HAPPY? ARE YOU SATISFIED?!”
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!
Seriously, his acting. I underestimated the guy. He’s magical. *_*
That moment when they touch foreheads and cry is just so sad. No other words. It’s just sad. PRETTY FUCKING SAD.
Terri, you’re a ho. And when you say things about the marriage working BECAUSE Will feels bad about himself makes me dislike you all the more. YES. MORE.
But you’re my favourite psycho.

Aw, ultimate sympathy for Will. Seriously.
Sleeping on a mattress in the school? That’s sad.
If my heart wasn’t already broken, the mental image of Will pulling his jacket up over his shoulders and under his chin while trying to get comfortable on a mattress would have done it.

OW. QUINN.
Look at her standing up to Sue. She makes me happy. XD
And I love how she’s bargaining. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
AND THEN SHE DOESN’T EVEN WANT IT.
EFF YOU, SUE.

OW. WILL.
My poor club, this is ever so sad.
But then the next episode is called Sectionals, so I don’t know whether I should really be that upset.
HMMMMMMMM.

Will and Emma. WILL AND EMMA.
SO MANY SCENES TODAY.
Not as many as there has been before, but still! MORE THAN LAST WEEK!
I’m sorry, Will, you weren’t thinking DIVORCE?!?! The woman lied to you! And it wasn’t about whether she stole the last handful of pretzels, it was about a baby!!
EMMA, DON’T STAND UP FOR TERRI!
DON’T YOU DARE!
But I love the little looks of “I LOVE YOU” that still glimmer between the two of them. That’s why I adore their scenes. They play their attraction off so well.

Oh, another Will speech.
I love him.
TINA SO PRETTY!

Oh, look, Josie’s crying again.
And it’s not Kurt this time. Lol.
I loved when Quinn came out of that stall without her uniform on. That was perfection. She looked so lovely.
I loved Tina’s curly hair.
I loved Kurt’s adjusting Artie’s tie for him.
I LOVED IT ALL.
I even loved the fact that the football team still decimated their photo. Because that’s real. And that’s what I expect from Glee. >_<

MUSIC
* Smile
This song is not relevant. Like at all.
Was Rachel/Lea doing a British accent?
Seriously.
As a member of the UK, I don’t know how to feel about this. Haha.
Cute scene. Very cute. They have the kind of chemistry that can pull off moments like this; it doesn’t have to be all longing looks across crowded rooms, it’s just nice to see them interact without all the heavy sexual tension.
* Smile
I hate when I only get like five seconds of her voice. It’s so lovely. I’m left hanging.
But I love that she sings to herself to get through things.
* Jump
OMGOSH. It reminded me of ‘Proud Mary’ in the sense that it looked like so much fun, and it was really all about the Glee Club as a unit.
Although, how can you not have fun jumping on beds??
Seriously. I’m considering doing it.
*looks at bed longingly*
FLIPS! PEOPLE ARE FLIPPING!
Look at Artie, surrounded by the ladies…
Oh yeah, Quinn can’t really do much flipping either.
I maintain that Kurt’s getting up from the mattress during the ‘BAH’ bit was the best. You’ve never seen anyone look so fabulous in a mattress commercial.
And his come hither scooch backwards down the beds.
N’AWWWWWWWWW. I love my Glee Club.
* SMILE
THEY’RE PLAYING IT ALL!
OMGOSH. I was crying.
It was wonderful. Really understated and beautiful. And the montage was fabulous.
And I won’t even lie, I squeed at the fact that Will and Emma were next to each other in the yearbook. YAY.

TO SUMMARISE:
* Finn and Puck should do weights more often. YUMMMM.
* Emma needs to fucking leave Ken. It’s getting silly now. I’m sorry, show, but someone needs to acknowledge how wrong it is for her to settle. I want it to be Will. I’m okay if it’s not.
Maybe even one of the Glee kids?
I sense fanfiction. From myself. Haha. XD
* Will needs to sing more. Needs to sing an actual song that actually tells me about how he’s feeling. Not one that’s like wildly inappropriate or involves rapping.
* Terri is a psycho hose beast and got what was coming to her? This, being crazy eyes Will and a pregnancy pillow ripped from her tummy.
* Quinn, I love you. I want more you and Puck. I WON’T EVEN LIE.
* I wanted some awkwardness between Tina and Artie, I did not get it.

HM. It wasn’t my favourite episode. But then moments like ‘Jump’, Will finding out about Terri, and stuff are all rocking and kind of tip it in the episode’s favour.
It’s really the other two songs that didn’t do much for me. And there wasn’t enough music. But… there was a lot of drama so it totally makes up for it.
AND SECTIONALS LOOKS AWESOME.
But BOOOOOOOOOOO that then it’s gone till APRIL!??!?!!? ARGH.
*tears hair out and screams*
