Glee- Though I wasn't a big fan of the song choices this week, still a pretty good ep. Although it was nice to see the Glee kids taking the yearbook picture proudly at the end, I'm kinda annoyed at how two-faced and fair-weather friends they are to Rachel. Other than always trying to get the solo thing, she's still always looking out for everyone, even the people who were incredibly mean to her before Glee started, like Quinn and Puck. I don't see how some people on the forums still think of her as a selfish, annoying, bitch. Ida know, mebbe its because I think she's cute, and if she was a total uggo I would find her extremely annoying, but as I said before I actually find the whole Tracy Flick thing kinda attractive in a girl. What's wrong with wanting to be a star? Or at the very least wanting people to like you even though you're totally weird and don't know how to act like a normal person? Even though she seems like a diva, what we've seen of her character, I'm sure if it actually came down to her career and helping her supposed Glee friends, she'd choose them.
It definitely annoyed me though this week (and last week when Kurt acted like he and Rachel weren't friends at all and she was just someone he barely tolerated because they were teammates) when they were all willing to throw Rachel under the bus and let her be the only one in the pic to be ostracized! I mean, they had a meeting without her about it! And this is one of the reasons why I've kinda soured on Finn. Get some effin' balls man. I thought he was gonna man up with all that talk of being a leader, but as usual, he lets all the a-holes cow him into being a sheep. They try to pass him off as the white knight boy scout, but he's not. Though I guess that's actually kinda refreshing that he's not that cliche.
In any case, so everyone was willing to screw her over, but then they're her friend again when she brings them that commercial? They didn't even say thanks! And I'm glad they didn't have people dump on her that they were almost disqualified, but I didn't think they actually were going to, because the way it seems lately, she's the only one who seems to care about the club, so why would they care if they got disqualified and it was all over? Anyways, its not like she was looking to get them paid. She partly did it because it would get her out there, but she was also trying to get the others to feel some pride in Glee. And as Quinn showed when she blackmailed Sue, so I'm sure Britt and Santana know also (well, maybe not Brittany), they're kinda familiar with clubs like the Cheerios getting all sorts of freebies that would be grounds for trouble.
And of course, it only really became an issue because Will used one of the mattresses because her found out his wife was an effin' liar and was totally distraught.
But yeah, that's finally out in the open in an amazingly well acted scene. Holy crap, Will looked so mad. I mean, from what I'm seeing on the forums I'm not the only one who thought he was going to smack her around. It was surprising to see Emma kinda defend her later, but she has a point, and its what I've said before, she was trying to keep him, she just went about it in a totally insane way. And its not like she totally made up the preggers storyline. She did indeed think she was pregnant in the beginning, but after she wasn't, she didn't know what to do and totally frakked things up and it got way out of hand. But Will's still definitely conflicted. I mean, he used "loved" i.e., the past tense, but then he was asking Emma if he should divorce her as if that were not already a foregone conclusion in his mind.
Oh, and if Figgins was all about saving yearbook space for ads, then why the eff where teachers like Will, Emma, Sue, and Ken getting a full page spread by themselves. No teacher got that in my yearbook!
Getting back to Quinn actually being the one to get them in the yearbook for blackmailing Sue, as someone said in the forums, despite Sue's rallying against uggos and fatties and wot-not, her issues with Quinn aren't that she got knocked up and thus is no longer the perfect beauty queen, its the betrayal. As she said in a couple of early eps, she saw Quinn as a young her, so the fact that Quinn lied to her was a slap in the face. That being said, Quinn doing the blackmail thing was the total right way to come at Sue. Well, for Quinn. I think if it were anyone else, they'd be in a whole lot of trouble because Sue would eat them alive for their presumption. But coming from Quinn, she respects that, and it would only be between the two of them that that actually would work- like if Will found out and tried to blackmail her, she would have killed him and dumped the body somewhere.
She did go into C-word territory tonight though, rubbing the salt in the wound, shouting and gloating to Will that Glee club would finally be over. Its like, she's already a bitch for her vendetta, but jeez, he just had the big blow up with his wife. Frakkin krant!
