“Preggers!” Oh, four episodes into this crazy show, and LOOK AT THAT I’ve fallen in love with Kurt Hummel. I love that he puts down the attitude and the bitch-face and lets us really see him this week. Not all of him, nowhere near the man we come to know later on. But we get a peek, right here, at the core of Kurt Hummel. Hooray!

Welcome to “Acafellas,” which is apparently an episode about finding your balls guts to be true to your dreams.

I always felt like “Showmance” was the episode that, after the novelty and excitement of the Pilot, kind of clapped its hands and got down to business. Like, “okay, here we go, this is what this show is going to do.” Not because it’s the greatest episode that Glee ever did, but maybe just as that recognition that the Pilot worked, so this takes it ( Read more... )

And so it begins… We are one week into the Epic Hiatus of our Discontent, and Day One of my re-watch of Seasons 1 and 2. Because I simply cannot handle not having a complete catalog of episode recaps ( Read more... )

SEASON FINALE? God dammit, how could that be? I am seriously so sad that we didn’t get the full 22 this year ( Read more... )

Look, I do my best to be spoiler-free, but I don't live under a rock. I know full well that Chris Colfer wrote tonight's episode. And you know what? I'm a big fan of the guy, and am feeling SUPER nervous on his behalf. I just want good things for him (and the show and the characters), okay?

Let's do this.

So, pretty much all I know about “The Back-Up Plan” going into it is the big guest star and maybe a song title or two. I love it when I have almost no idea what to expect! (No, seriously. That wasn’t sarcasm. The less I know, the happier I am.)

But thanks to flaming_muse for putting a finger on why the title of this episode has been bugging me: just typing it ( Read more... )

"Opening Night!" I was going to say "finally," but who even knows how time works in the Glee universe.

It’s funny, attempting to live the spoiler-free life while participating in fandom at large. Because on the one hand, I don’t feel like I knew much of anything about this episode going into it, other than the tiny bits and pieces from the promo at the end of last week’s. I didn’t really know plot at all, I didn’t know songs other than the clip from ( Read more... )
