Glee-cap: Bad Reputation

“The cruel, slow motion laughter is just your imagination.”
- Sue Sylvester

Three cheers to Glee for being TONS better this week. I suppose everyone has to have their off days, sort of like Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Shallow Hal Phase.”

Following the I’m-too-lazy-to-give-you-a-full-recap trend I’ve conveniently established, I’ll quickly sum up my thoughts:

1) I am so delighted that Jane Lynch can sing. I’ll say it again. I’m really happy! I swear she sounded better than Olivia Newton John!

2) A fellow Gleek surmised that Santana and Brittany were getting all of Quinn’s lines these days… I’m glad they threw some lines back her way this episode. I have an ironic crush on her.

3) I greatly appreciated the MC Hammer dance in the library, and it sure did highlight the actress who plays Brittany’s dance skills. (She used to be a backup dancer for Beyonce, dontcha know)

4) The writers are devilishly clever, knowing that they make me weep every time they show a scene with Sue Sylvester and her sister. I’m such a sucker!

5) For as cute as he may be, WOW is Mark Salling a bad actor.

6) SOOOO can’t wait to see how Molly Shannon’s character develops …!

Until next week, Gleeks.

Glee-Cap: The Power of Madonna

“Sloppy freakshow babies! Somewhere in the English countryside, in a stately manor home, Madonna is weeping.”

- Sue Sylvester

Although Glee’s plotlines are growing worrisomely ridiculous, I think we can safely say that tonight’s “Power of Madonna” episode had it all – high drama. Fashion. Hair. Dancing. And of course, ass-kicking music.

I’m about as big a Madge fan as they come, so admittedly I’m a little biased. But I do think the show pulled off its most-hyped episode pretty smoothly.

My summation:

1) Best number of the night = Mercedes and Kurt and the Cheerios’ rendition of “4 Minutes.”

2) Totally dug the Edward Scissorhands-like take on “Ray of Light.”

3) YES! That IS Jane Lynch’s real voice in the “Vogue” video! I am wholeheartedly impressed that Sue Sylvester can truly sing, almost better than The Material Girl herself.

4) Thank you, Glee gods, for answering my prayers and sending more numbers featuring Kurt’s angelic voice. His sublime solo during “Like a Prayer” made me weep.

5) The losing-the-virginity angle lumping Rachel, Finn, and Emma’s liaisons into one huge dream sequence was icky, icky, icky.

6) Although Puck’s facial expressions were amusing, the run-up to “What it Feels Like for a Girl” (all the guys in Glee sitting around talking about respecting women) was pretty redonkulous. Fortunately, they performed the song itself to utter perfection.

7) Dear writers: Give Quinn more lines! I find myself always wanting to touch her hair. Also, her voice completely sedates me.

Until next time, Gleeks…

Gleecap: Hell-O

“Dolphins are just gay sharks, right?”

- Brittany

Glee has returned, and millions of fans can finally stop wasting valuable Tivo space storing all the reruns. Halleluiah!

However, I’m not gonna lie to you. Tonight’s hiatus-breaker was hugely anticlimactic. Not to mention a bit disjointed and choppy.

Consequently I don’t have the energy to post a full gleecap (sorry to those I may be disappointing, especially with that misleading header).

Instead I’ll leave you with the questions that I believe are on all of our minds tonight:

1) Was Jane Lynch really singing in that Vogue video?

2) Will Emma ever blink?

3) Can someone promise me that Kurt will be singing more this season? Please? (I’ve worn deep grooves in the “Defying Gravity” portion of my Glee soundtrack CD)

4) Was that opening Doors number with Finn sort of, um, dumb and awkward?

5) WHY was there a piano in the library?

The good news is that the countdown now begins for the MADONNA episode. Bring. It. On.
