geebsTV commentary:
Glee- So this is the debut ep of one of the Glee Project winners, Damien (the Irish one). I'm kinda amused that Samuel was the "first" winner, until the judges were all, "Oh, Damien, you won too", but Damien is the first one up on the show. From the forums it seems like the chyx really dig his accent. And on the one hand, he seems like a nice, earnest guy, but on the other, I'm a little offended at him pretending to be a Leprechaun to try and get into Brit's pants, because its kinda like taken advantage of a retarded person. Then again, even though they romanticize Brit and Santana, Santana had done some pretty suspect things over the course of the show.
Also kinda offensive, that one of Sue's tactics against Burt now that he's running against her is to buy him the super-cholesterol burger because of his heart. Sue saying horrible things, that's fine, but it always grates on me when she's trying to actually kill someone. The Brit in the cannon thing from the superbowl ep, the trying to reroute their NYC flight to Tripoli, the Artie torture at prom? Not cool.
Also, what happened to the rule of 12 for the choir competition? Neither New Directions or the Troubletones (or whatever the hell their group is called) has the required 12 to enter the competition! I mean, Santana and Mercedes are all, finally, we can be center stage, but unless they find 8 other people, they're not going anywhere! At least ND only has to find 2 more people now that they have Rory.
It always amusing to read the forums and see how divided the fandom is on whether folks like Mercedes and Santana have a point or if Rachel is wrongly vilified. It was a little surprising that it was a Blaine song that set Santana off. I guess she does have a right to be worried that it was gonna be the Rachel and Blaine show, because they are arguably the best male and female singers. I'm glad it has changed to Blaine though, because it was a little silly when everyone was incensed that Rachel and Finn were the leads. I mean, Rachel sure, but Finn was always weaker than the rest of the guys. At least Blaine has the chops to be mail lead.
And I feel a little sorry for Sugar. I mean, Shelby's group was created for her. Yeah, Sugar has no talent, but her father did pay for it. Then Mercedes and Santana and Brit come in, and Santana just takes it over and bullies Sugar down? Though I guess its good for Shelby, because at least now she has a real group and not a joke.
Not good for Shelby? Insane Quinn. At least the show is trying to iron out her motivations a little better. She feels her life is so messed up (even though her family is rich, she's pretty, she has a whole bunch of people who care for her while she's kinda an ingrate about it), and Beth is the "one good thing" about her life. Its amusing that Quinn's thinks her daughter is perfect and the one thing she can't ruin, and if she does get her back from Shelby, I think that's what she'll end up doing.
But what the eff was up with that ending?! Argh, I mean, I know they were kinda setting that up all ep, but still, Puck and Shelby?! I can't believe they went there! Which makes it even more disappointing that Puckelberry hasn't been a thing for a while, because how scandalous is it that Puck is now effing Rachel's mom?
