Liz's Instant Glee-Cap - 5x06 - Moving Out
NATURALLY my damn cable went on the fritz 10 minutes before the episode started, hence the relative lateness of this recap. I did half-watch on a shitty livestream while on the phone with the cable company, and suddenly I have ever so much sympathy for those of you outside of the U.S. who have to watch the show like this every week. That was awful

Artie summons Becky to the auditorium to sing “Honesty,” which is actually a song I don’t know.
Funny, that was one of the rare cases of Glee using a song I'm pretty familiar with. Must have heard it on the radio a lot at my old job (I don't listen to the radio much, which is why I don't know many songs.) I actually knew a surprising amount of songs in this ep, although I never knew who sang them.
The intro to “You May Be Right,” complete with fourth-wall Sue rant makes me laugh my ass off. Go for it, Glee. I do love it when you call out your own insanity.
This.
Glee may often make me roll my eyes at the silliness of the plot, but then Sue comes along with one of those lines and all is well again.
I really want to care about Artie and Becky, especially having grown up with a sibling with special needs (who happens to be the only person I can watch Glee with, and was super excited to see a character in a wheelchair), but... I just don't have any energy left for McKinley.
Not for Artie, not for Becky, and certainly not for Jake and Ryder. I like Marley, but can she just please be single for a while? And not mope about it? There's nothing wrong with being single, goddammit.
And the timeline? I'm not even trying any more. Lima must be in some sort of weird time bubble where the year has 14 months or something like that. I guess Cory's death threw things off even more (what with three weeks between Finn's funeral and episode 3) but the timeline must have been weird before that. I wasn't really paying attention, though.
Okay, and now can we please make everyone go to New York and chain them to the piano and make them play and sing and dance (careful, don't trip over the chains, kids). Just make them stay there and make music, and I'll be happy (and quietly jealous that they can sing so well and me and my coworkers can't even do Frere Jacques, but that's beside the point.)

I agree that Marley just needs to be single and not mope over the loss of Jake. But then again, I need them all to just fade away.
NEW YORK. MORE. NOW. PLEASE. And yes, all piano, all the time. Life is just one big group singalong.
