geebsTV commentary:
Glee- The episode was called "Choke", and they pretty much telegraphed from all the promos that Rach was going to mess up her addition, so to me it was all the more uncomfortable because you saw it coming. Even though its total BS that she would mess DROMP up. In any case, I hate seeing Rachel cry, she looks like a kicked puppy, it makes me wanna punch whoever made her sad. I do not need that image of Rachel crying and begging Whoopi Goldberg to give her another chance. (Heh, seriously, why would one gif that? Its like that scene with Adam Sandler on the boat near the end of 50 First Dates! "You're sick, you're sick! Why would you do that!")
You know, sometimes I think this show tries too hard to "have a message" instead of just telling a story. While I applaud them for teaching girls to stick up for themselves and get out of abusive relationships, but to some people it can feel like manufactured drama trying to illicit specific emotions out of the audience. And what the shit, Bieste actually went back to Cooter?! I realize its realistic, but this is a fucking TV show. It does not need to be so damn heavy! Because you have that, Rachel tanking her audition, Puck failing his final and prolly not graduating. Its not going to make people think, "OMG, drama, this is so compelling!" Its just going to piss people off! This show is called "Glee", not "Depressing Fucking Shit"!
Like I don't even mind the Rachel messing up, because obviously she'll get another chance before the end of the season. Most likely thanks to something Finn does, because god forbid a girl accomplish something on her own on this show! Girls can't solve problems on their own, they need a shining knight to save them! Like Finn singing a song so Santana is comfortable with her sexuality, or Teen Jesus accidentally touching Quinn with his boner so she can feel a guy will still want her even though she's a cripple now. I mean, the promos had Finn yelling at Quinn to "stand up" at prom! If he manages to heal her paralysis and get her to walk again by shouting at her, I'm going to be so pissed! Seriously, what the frick!
But I digress, the show doesn't need to be so deep and heavy. Remember when all they had to worry about was the competition stealing their set list and making it to nationals? I don't mind them having an after-school special type episode once a season. But in the past few episodes, they've had Karofsky bullied so bad after being outed that he almost killed himself, Quinn's in a wheelchair after texting and driving, Sue's baby might have developmental problems, and now Bieste's in an abusive relationship? Are they even going to address this again, or will that just be a thing, her husband possibly smacks her around. Also, way to ruin a beautiful rendition of FatM's "Shake It Out". The girls are singing to Shannon about being all brave, when in reality she went back to Cooter. I'm supposed to feel good about the song, not friggin depressed.
But hey, Cell Block Tango was sexy. And hey, they didn't cut Tina's lines like I was expecting, so that's cool. But they ended up cutting Sugar's which wasn't.
