geebsTV commentary:
Glee- Last ep before the two part series finale. But its kinda an end for the current story arc, since next week is supposed to be a flashback on how all the originals decided to join ND, and then a flash forward to 5 years later. So, Sue is doing all she can to mess with the Glee club- poisoning the school's water supply, sending ND packages of glitter bombs, setting Will's car on fire. But ND soldiers on.
Meanwhile, Roderick and Spencer feel like the weak links since they're the worst dancers. So, they put in extra practice, but Spencer sprains his ankle. He wants to just get an injection of pain killers and fight through the pain, but Bieste warns him he could seriously injure himself. He's willing to do anything to win, even if he hurts himself. Lucky for him, Roderick comes up with an idea. (More on that later)
So, in actual sectionals, first off are the Falconers, doing Mister Mister's "Broken Wings":
They're a bird training school, so their song is bird-ish. That's the joke!
Next up is Vocal Adrenaline. They start their set off with Starship's "We Built This City":
Followed by "Mickey" by Toni Basil:
Pretty good, but again, not as passionate as previous VA performances.
Finally, we have ND. They start of Roderick doing a soulful rendition of Hozier's "Take Me to Church":
This is followed up by the girls doing Sia's "Chandelier":
But yeah, Myron dressed up like the girl in the video and dances around the auditorium. And Roderick's idea for Spencer to avoid doing something intense that could hurt his ankle even more is just to have him swing on a chandelier.
And, they finish off their set with Styx classic "Come Sail Away":
Like I said, I'm kinda sad the show is ending, because the new newbies were actually pretty good, and its sad this is the last time we get to see them really perform.
Of course, ND ends up taking the win, with Sue revealing she was sabotaging VA from the inside. The set was specifically set up to disturb/annoy the judges- Anchorman Rod had a past liason with Starship that ended badly, and the people being shot out of a cannon gave the one judge lady from first season horrible flashbacks to her childhood where she witness a horrific cannon accident in the circus. She claims the food poisoning was to let them lose a few pounds, and the glitter bombs were timed so that the last of the cortisol produced from the shock of the package going off worked its way out by the day of sectionals, so they were feeling euphoric as they go on stage.
The other plot involved Jesse showing up (he and Rachel do a duet of "Listen To Your Heart", but its not up on youtube), asking why Rachel hadn't accepted the role in the play, as he's the male lead. She's still on the fence on which she should choose. Kurt tells her she'll prolly succeed either way, but she's already gone that route. If she truly doesn't care about missing the experiences she would get going to school, then she should just jump to the play. So of course, she chooses college. But Jesse implies since they'll both be in NYC, maybe something can happen (isn't she still technically with Sam?)
