GLEE!

[redbrunja]

So I'm all caught up with Glee (which took me about a week, which is impressive for me). So ask me questions! Talk to me about this show! Tell me what you ship!

To get us started I've posted my top 5 Glee songs:

For a few running episodes, women seemed to exist for no other reason than to mentally mess with men and produce babies.)

This is true. I was cringing at the fact that fake!pregnant woman and real!pregnant woman where BOTH lying to their SOs about paternity, with no other pregnant women to balance it out (not that there needs to be more baby shinanigans, oh no).

But they managed to do it with finesse, making it as much about her desire for Finn to be happy as her desire to have Finn. And they also showed Rachel understanding how, in the short term, her plan backfired. Finn is not initially happy (He'll probably be glad in the long run he was told the truth, but now he's really hurt). Plus, they showed her realizing the she also hurt Quinn.

*nods* Yes, it was really well done because Rachel's motivations for her actions where complex and nuanced, and then there were clear (and realistic) consequences.

lus, I liked the scenes where Rachel is pretty gracious about Mercedes getting the ballad number.

Oh, I SO agree. I think that really shows how much Rachel has grown so far as a person and makes it even harder for me to bear the fact that she's so socially isolated, even within Glee club..

I'm not sure how much I buy Will being able to be a mentor to Finn; Will's speech that changed Finn's mind seemed very fake.

Well, Finn does have a tendency to go to Will for help, so I think it does make a lot of sense that Will could steer Finn where he wants him... although I didn't buy the epicness of his speech. It was all about how Finn was 'special' instead of the more realistic and quite convincing argument that Glee is still his best shot at a scholarship and regardless of if he has a baby on the way or not, he wants to get out of that town.

I hadn't been able to figure out what had bugged me about that speech before but this is definitely it.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what was bugging me about that scene either until you asked me about it.
