So, "Michael" is upon us at last!

Anyone else excited?

My discussion on this is actually slightly different, but ties in with 3x11 so I'll place it in this thread!

What do you think about the proposal of Rachel & Finn, in terms of reality? (If you can actually do that?)

Funny enough, I could actually see Quinn/Finn together after high school - if you exclude the fact of it being an unhealthy relationship. Even if they had gone to college -- it was likely to be instate, potentially, and being married after isn't completely unrealistic. Especially with the story that Quinn made in 2x16.

But Rachel & Finn? With the move being New York, presumably? With Rachel's aspirations, her likeliness of putting her career and study ahead of a relationship - not intentionally, but NYADA is certainly going to have some late nights if she attempts to work on a production- and Finn's personality and potentially, struggling to adapt to a bigger city without home support?

I'm not saying that it wouldn't work -- hell, it could, but I can't help thinking that out of all the couples to be engaged at ( ... )

Re: 3.11 watch-along and discussion gammods February 1 2012, 04:09:24 UTC

Reality wise, the very fact that Rachel only hears Finn when he's singing proves it's a bad idea. She doesn't have the capability to be the strong shoulder to cry on or the comforter. Finn's lost, especially after getting the news about his father, and he's holding on to the one person who keeps telling him that as long as he has her, he'll be fine. Maybe it's just Rachel, maybe it's from not having friends for so long, maybe it's a product of having dads who think a glass of water and psychiatrist is a cure-all, but she has no idea how to really comfort people. Their mental states right now, it's way too easy for Rachel to inadvertently take advantage of Finn and mess him up even worse than he already is.

In terms of the show, it's a show about teenagers and usually, on tv, most of the couples in high school end up together forever.

Yes, got it up just under the wire. :)

Re: 3.12 watch-along and discussion chirpingemu February 8 2012, 02:33:10 UTC

Overall, meh. Ricky Martin seemed to have guest star syndrome, like Gwynneth Paltrow, where he's the one to show up, liven things up, and teach a valuable lesson or at least catalyze a valuable lesson. His songs were great, it was just, well, guest star syndrome ( ... )

Re: 3.12 watch-along and discussion joyful February 8 2012, 04:13:08 UTC

Ricky Martin is so hot. And the dad from Smart Guy was there!!!! It might have been cool to see one of the Gleeks' parents in the class though ( ... )

3.13 Watch-Along and Discussion thread joyful February 14 2012, 23:48:50 UTC

So, the new Valentine's Day episode is upon us at last.

Getting the discussion thread up early, so I don't forget.

Anyone else excited?

Re: 3.13 Watch-Along and Discussion thread lm_mage February 15 2012, 02:26:26 UTC

About half way through the episode now :D

Sugar/Artie/Rory is cute, Finchel remain believable idiots, and double standards are addressed. Nice.

It just keeps getting better.

Re: 3.13 Watch-Along and Discussion thread joyful February 15 2012, 02:32:57 UTC

Holy crap Karofsky/Nick, that can't end well:(

Rachel will seriously never be happy in a relationship where she has to treat her partner as an equal. She wants a doormat to earn her money, not a husband.

Santana trying to prove the double standard fell flat when they didn't sing on the school grounds.

I didn't find Rachel's dads endearing at all. They were horrible and manipulative and drew Burt and Carole into their mindgames instead of sitting the kids down and actually listening to their reasons. If they did that, maybe they'd finally have to pay attention to how broken and scared their children are instead of continuing to ignore it.

Mike and Tina were so adorable (and Tina got to finish a song yet again!), I'd have happily watched them for an hour ( ... )

Place thought and theories and feelings here.

This is the necessary Pi reference.

:)

Re: Episode 3.14 watch-along and discussion post rosesofnight February 22 2012, 00:07:51 UTC

Ha. I didn't even think of that. (Pi reference)

Re: Episode 3.14 watch-along and discussion post rosesofnight February 22 2012, 02:04:36 UTC

Can I just say that a side on, at speed, TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR, with how much bigger that truck was, to her car, has very little survival rate?

-grumbles about realism-

....Is the first half even worth watching? Because the second half has had to suck worse than any other episode I can ever think of.

(Annoyingly, I believe I can fly, done on it's own, possibly like Man in the Mirror type of style or something close to it, would have been powerful. Y/N?)

Re: Episode 3.14 watch-along and discussion post joyful February 22 2012, 02:10:36 UTC

I have to admit I think it will be more realistic, and a better story, if she doesn't.
