Glee 1x08
GLEE GLEE GLEE
WILL'S WHEELCHAIR GRABBING WAS ESPECIALLY BAD THIS TIME. He practically jerked Artie's chair around and Artie looked really surprised. STOP IT. When Will was spinning him around during the dancing, it didn't seem as bad to me* because (a) I imagine (for my own comfort) that Artie has consented to being pushed/pulled generally as part of dance routines and (b) it came across as more of a "hey, come dance with me" grab instead of a "I'm going to make you go where I want you to go" grab.
*But note that I have able-bodied privilege and really only know what I have learned on the internet about wheelchair etiquette.
WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A GUIDANCE COUNSELOR'S OFFICE WITH WINDOWS FOR WALLS? WHY? Apparently not to give people privacy.
I laughed SO SO hard at the Puck's slushie line "I know you like grape because the last time I threw a grape one at you, you licked your lips before you cleaned yourself off." I love that he NOTICED!
EVERY TIME THERE'S A GROUP SHOT, I HAVE TO WATCH IT LIKE 54 TIMES SO I CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT *EVERYONE* IS DOING.
AT 17:07 "SWEET CAROLINE" THAT IS TINA POINTING AT RACHEL! HEE.
I was surprised Quinn seemed so oblivious to the Puck/Rachel. Somehow watching the promo, I thought she looked jealous. Maybe she is just pleased that someone else has noticed how hot her girlfriend is.
Part of the problem with the pre-recorded songs (even though I haven't noticed the auto-tune that much) is when someone, e.g. Rachel, starts singing. I mean, it's RACHEL. If she's not singing and then she starts, WE WOULD HEAR IT. And WHO is singing back-up on Sweet Caroline at the beginning?! There's Puck and the band. The other Glee kids aren't singing! WTF.
HOLY SHIT. EMMA CAN SING?? EMMA CAN SING!!! I mean, JAYMA MAYS CAN SING!
me: The cheerleaders really need to wear something other than their cheerleading outfits.
boy: Then how would we know they were cheerleaders? That's the most important part of their identity!
me: lulz.
KURT!!!!
SUE!!!!
I kind of love that they take him into the girls bathroom, no questions asked. If it was played for laughs (like Kurt going in by himself) that would bother me, but it seemed natural.
AND THEN SUE. At this point I said, "OMIGOD THIS SHOW IS SO GAY AND ON CRACK!"
SPATS! SHE'S WEARING SPATS. ♥
AND A WATCH-CHAIN. SUE, I COULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE.
Rod: But only the men wear those.
Sue: Further embarrassed.
*hugs Sue*
I really wanted her to VERBALLY DESTROY HIM but then again, we all have those moments where we can't think what to say, even Sue.
TAKE WILL, SUE! TAKE WILL! (Er, to the swing dance competition. Or, you know, generally.)
UNLESS YOU LIKE ACCIDENTALLY INVEST INVENT SOME ZOMBIE VIRUS OR SOMETHING. LOL LOL LOL OH FINN
I'm not sure whether to be happy Rachel and Puck broke up because NOW THERE CAN BEGIN THE SEDUCTION OF KURT (OR PUCK BY KURT) or sad because (MORE REALISTICALLY) now they're going to start pushing the Kurt/Quinn and Rachel/Finn more. JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS HET CANON PAIRINGS, KIDS.
Possibly I had other reactions. But that was all I wrote down while watching. YES IT DOES TAKE ME 2 HOURS TO WATCH A 45-MINUTE SHOW.
I have some thoughts on Glee fandom, but I think I'll make a separate post so as to avoid mixing spoilers and non-spoilers in the comments. :D
TOMORROW I WILL GET MY MERLIN ON BUT TONIGHT IT'S ALL ABOUT GLEEEEEEEE.
