Glee Recap/Review: The Quarterback

This week's episode of 'Glee' is a tribute to Cory Monteith/Finn Hudson. The episode opens with a performance of 'Seasons of Love' starting with the newest Glee club members, the older members enter and then Kurt, Santana, Mercedes, Puck and Mike Chang appear. Behind them is a picture of Finn in his football uniform and then the title card shows with Finn incorporated (above). This first performance has me emotional already because you can see the grief in the actor's eyes as they sing this opening number.

Glee: Tina in the Sky with Diamonds Recap/Review

Week two of the Beatles tribute, 'Tina in the Sky with Diamonds', featured the 'Glee' members going to a joint junior/senior prom. The nominations for prom king are Artie and Blaine while Tina and Kitty are nominated for prom queen (even though Kitty is a sophomore). Realistically I don't see how either Blaine or Artie would be nominated, they're not that popular, but whatever. Tina is so happy about her nomination that she bursts into song but it's cut short when the bell rings so I'm not even gonna grade that performance.

Glee: Love Love Love (Season 5 Premiere) Recap/Review

'Glee' is finally back after it's, far too long, season break! The season premiere, 'Love Love Love', kicked things off with the first part of the two part Beatles tribute. The absence of Cory Monteith/Finn Hudson is noticeable but that's only because we know what we do. So just put it to the back of your mind because it is going to be dealt with in episode 3. The season begins with Rachel doing a chemistry audition for 'Funny Girl' and afterwards she hears the actor and director saying that she isn't ready. This launches us into the first performance, 'Yesterday', in which Rachel wanders around New York. I love the shots of the city during this performance and might the song choice be a nod towards Cory/Finn?

Glee: I Do Recap/Review

This week, 'Glee' showcased a Valentine's Day episode named 'I Do' which centered on Will and Emma's wedding. This episode had a lot going on but it was fun with a lot of dramatic developments thrown in. At The Lima Bean, Rachel and Finn start this week when he calls a meeting with her to discuss his kiss with Emma. Rachel tells him that he's just confused and lonely so it doesn't really mean anything. Later, Finn goes to see Emma at school who is freaking out about her upcoming wedding. Apparently the kiss made her spin out of control which makes her OCD worse, Crazy Emma is crazy. She tells him to stay away and to keep quiet so that's what Finn does. At Glee club, Will has returned and celebrates by telling the gang this week's assignment is 'wedding' themed. I didn't miss Will at all, can he leave again? After the Glee meeting, Marley gives Jake cufflinks as a Valentine's Day present. Jake on the other hand, hasn't really gotten her anything special so Ryder helps him out. Then Finn calls another meeting with Rachel because Will wants him to sing at the wedding so Finn asks Rachel to do a duet with him. In class, Ryder helps Jake out with a performance. Jake sings 'You're All I Need to Get By' to Marley, this couple is so cute!

Glee: Diva Recap/Review

Everyone released their inner 'Diva' on the latest episode of 'Glee'. I found that this episode wasn't bad but it just wasn't as good as last week. There were some really fun and great moments though. Kurt begins the episode by telling us that Rachel has become a total diva recently and he has to try to bring her back down to Earth. In Lima, Finn talks to Emma about how the Glee kids don't seem very passionate so she helps him out by telling him to have some kind of sing-off. Thus making the Glee assignment, 'Diva Week'. When the club hears about this, things get real crazy. This takes us into the first performance of the episode which is 'Diva'. This was probably my favorite performance of the night because I really loved the runway and the song. Back in New York, Kurt tells Rachel that she's being too much of a diva and he then challenges her to NYADA's 'Midnight Madness' sing-off. Both Rachel and Kurt got kinda scary in this scene. In the McKinley hallways, Tina gives Blaine some soup for his cold. Then in Glee club, Blaine sings 'Don't Stop Me Now', it's a good performance because I love Blaine's voice but I'm not a big fan of that song.

Glee: Naked Recap/Review

Things got a little bit heated and everyone got a little bit 'Naked' on this week's 'Glee'. We learn through a news reel that The Warblers have been disqualified from regionals.Which means that our favorite underdogs are back on track to success. However, the Glee club budget is low so they need to do some fund raising. Tina comes up with the idea of having a Glee boys calendar, she's so smart. After school, Marley guests stars on Brittany's web series, 'Fondue For Two'. I love Brittany's web show, so funny! In a hilarious webisode, Brittany tells Marley that she needs to inform Jake of her feelings for him. At school the next day, Brittany finds out that she did amazing in her SATs. Whereas, Sam did the worst. This information makes Sam feel like he's not good at anything. In New York, Rachel is cast in a student film at NYADA but she has to do a nude scene in said film. This makes Rachel question who she is. Calling for a visit from High School Rachel who tells College Rachel that she's changed so much. I love that Rachel had this conversation with herself because it was fun to see the contrast in High School Rachel and College Rachel. After this, the two Rachels sing 'Torn', which was really awesome. It was a little weird to see the two Rachels like this but it was weird in a good way. Once Rachel is done singing, Electra (the director of the student film) asks her if she wants to be in the film and Rachel says yes.

Glee: Sadie Hawkins Recap/Review

'Sadie Hawkins' is the name of 'Glee's returning episode because it revolves around a Sadie Hawkins dance which means the girls of McKinley get to pick their dates. I love, love, loved this episode, it was so fun and they were able to blend all the storylines very well this week. Also, the new storylines are really good so I was very happy and surprised by this episode. We start back after the winter break with Sam questioning The Warblers' win at sectionals, he thinks that they somehow cheated. Then we see a little bit of a spark when Sam asks Blaine for some lip balm. After this, the guys have to go to a McKinley Student Council meeting in which Tina says that they should have a Sadie Hawkins dance. One of Tina's main reasons for wanting to hold a dance is to help her fellow members of the 'Too Young to be Bitter Club'. Lauren Zizes (remember her? I missed her), Becky Jackson, Sugar and Tina are all part of this club. Tina's campaigning is a success when the student council passes her motion but Blaine doesn't seem too stoked.

Glee: Glee, Actually (Holiday Episode) Recap/Review

'Glee' joins '9O21O' and 'The Vampire Diaries' by having a festive episode this week. Sue begins the episode by telling us that this week will be a little different as it will feature five different stories that will link together at the end, hence the title of the episode 'Glee, Actually'. Artie is having a rough time as he believes that life would be much better if he were never in his wheelchair. So in a 'It's a Wonderful Life' type storyline, he learns that everyone is better off with him in his chair. Artie dreams all of this in black and white, yep another Christmas episode in black and white, here we go. In his dream, Rory (remember Rory from last season?) is his guide, I'm not gonna lie I was really happy to see Rory again. One of the most funniest parts of Artie's dream was that Rachel is a librarian at the McKinley high school. One of the worst parts was that Finn, Puck and Ryder were all jerks. Also, Mr. Schuester was depressed, drunk and still married to Terri. It turns out that Artie was the glue of Glee or something so there was no Glee without him. I'm pretty sure that Glee would've happened without Artie but whatever. To fix things, Artie calls everyone to the choir room and sings 'Feliz Navidad', I didn't really like this song choice. It doesn't matter though as Artie's performance fixed nothing. After this, Artie finds a wheelchair in the hallway. Rory tells Artie that it's Quinn's wheelchair as she still got in the car accident and died because without the Glee club's support she never made a recovery. Did they really have to bring the worst Glee storyline ever back up again? Ugh. Anyway, Artie sits on the wheelchair and his dream is over, he appreciates his wheelchair and the help of others more now.

Glee: Swan Song Recap/Review

Things were crazy last week on 'Glee' and this week's episode 'Swan Song' picks up moments after Marley fainted on stage. Everyone is trying to help Marley by getting her food or some juice, even Kitty seems to feel a little bad. Santana totally calls Kitty out when she says that Kitty is "a crazy evil bitch." Santana knows what she's talking about. The club needs to get Marley back on her feet because a club isn't allowed to leave the stage or they will be disqualified from Sectionals. But it's too late as Sue points out and we're told that The Warblers have won. In New York, Kurt tells Rachel everything that happened at Sectionals and they then talk about NYADA. It seems that Carmen Tibideaux hands out golden tickets to NYADA's winter showcase and it's a great honor to get one. So imagine just how happy Rachel was when she received a golden ticket. Back at McKinley, the choir room is being torn apart (literary) by Sue who is turning into her new rehearsal space. Saying as the Glee club has lost Sectionals, this means that they have also lost their rehearsal space and they have to find another place to practice. Principal Figgins confirms this and Finn has to hand over the keys to the choir room. Sue then admits that she feels bad about the Glee club. I blame Kitty for everything! However, the Glee club is blaming Marley, especially when Finn tells them that there will be no Glee club until next year as that's when they'll get the choir room back. It is not Marley's fault! Where's Santana? She knows the truth!

Glee: Thanksgiving Recap/Review

'Glee' is a little bit late with this episode, 'Thanksgiving' but it was one of my favorite episodes from this season. I wish that all the series regulars could be in every episode because it really helped to advance the plot and made this whole episode even more enjoyable. So everyone is back in Lima for Thanksgiving which is why Quinn, Puck, Mercedes, Santana, Mike and Finn all start the episode with 'Homeward Bound/Home'. I've really missed hearing all the old voices so I enjoyed this song just because I liked to hear Santana and Mercedes' voices together again. Marley then has a voice-over in which she tells us about a dream she had, in the dream she was on stage and ready to sing. I really liked how Marley talked about her dream, it really intrigued me. Well now her dream is coming true as sectionals are coming up. The old gang hang out at Breadstix and talk about their current lives. I love how Quinn said that she and Rachel still keep in touch. The next day, Finn pairs the new Glee club members with the old members, the old members acting as mentors. Puck is with Jake, Mike with Ryder, Marley with Santana, Kitty with Quinn and Wade with Mercedes. Finn then tells the Glee club that they will be preforming 'Gangnam Style' at sectionals. All the guys with be trying out to be lead male dancer with Mike and Finn judging. After the club meeting, Jake tells Ryder that he and Marley went out and Ryder seems fine with it. So they're cool now? I'm okay with this. In New York, Rachel and Kurt decide to not go home for Thanksgiving and instead they'll have their own orphan Thanksgiving.

Glee: Dynamic Duets Recap/Review

'Glee' took on the theme of superheroes this week with 'Dynamic Duets'. The only other Teen Drama that has done a superhero episode is 'One Tree Hill' in season 8 with the episode 'Holding Out for a Hero'. It's an odd theme to have running through-out an episode and I think that 'Glee' did an okay job with it. This won't go down as one of my all time favorite 'Glee' episodes but it was better than 'The Role You Were Born to Play'. The reason I mention this episode is because it didn't feature Lea Michele either and I just don't think you can have an episode of 'Glee' without Rachel Berry, she's what I tune in for and her storylines are the best in the show right now. So we begin this episode with a meeting of The Secret Society of Superheroes Club, which is a club dedicated to protecting the hallways of McKinley, much like Santana's Bully Whips Program. We get a rundown of everyone's superpowers and Sugar's is my favorite, her superpower is money. Then we find out that the Glee club's trophy has been stolen with a message left by a student from the Dalton Academy so it's up to this weirdo club of superheroes to save the day.

Glee: Glease Recap/Review

This week's 'Glee' finally payed homage to 'Grease' with the episode 'Glease'. This episode was a big improvement from last week and it was much more enjoyable to watch. So Mr. Schuester finally tells the Glee club that he's leaving for sabbatical and the club is not happy about. I though Mr. Schue had already left. But Sue breaks up the Glee brawl when she calls Finn and Mr. Schue to Principal Figgins' office. Sue is upset with Finn after he called her baby a mean name last week (which I shall not repeat) so she doesn't want Finn to run the Glee club. However, Principal Figgins doesn't seem to care and either do I, Finn can be in charge of whatever he likes. When Figgins tells Sue this she gets super angry and starts abusing the children, I love it when Sue manhandles the students. In New York, we find out that Rachel has her first off-Broadway audition and she tells Cassandra that she should also audition. Bad move Rachel, when will you learn? I really missed Rachel, I can't believe they did an episode without her last week. When Cassandra asks Brody to be her new TA, he says yes but he wants to start next week so he can help Rachel with her audition first. In Marley's fitting for 'Grease' she becomes paranoid when he costume no longer fits her. Although, Marley hasn't gained weight, Kitty has been altering Marley's costumes. Let's just stab Kitty! Kitty then invites all the girls (including Unique) to a sleepover at her house. But Marley is still feeling down about her sudden weight gain so she asks her mom for advice. I love Marley's mom, she's so nice and helpful. Finn then goes to the teacher's lounge to say sorry to Sue about his comments but Scary Sue is back and she is not taking it. Sue actually isn't allowing Finn to rehearse in the auditorium for 'Grease' so Finn has the guys practice at Hummel Tires and Lube where they break out into singing 'Greased Lightin'. This isn't my favorite 'Grease' song but it was a good performance.

Glee: The Role You Were Born to Play Recap/Review

'Glee' just got back from a five week break which is a pretty long time to be leaving fans because if you're like me then you will tend to forget things. I felt like 'The Role You Were Born to Play' wasn't a very good episode for 'Glee' to be returning with after such a long break because it wasn't as good as previous episodes have been. One of my main complaints for this episode is the lack of Rachel Berry/Lea Michele, who wasn't in the episode at all. Kurt/Chris wasn't in it either but I'm most upset about Rachel/Lea. But the show must go on, Finn is now working at Hummel Tires and Lube when Artie comes to check up on him and ask him to co-direct the 'Grease' school musical. Finn agrees because I think he feels that he wants to do more than just work in a tire shop for the rest of his days. At McKinley, Blaine is being pathetic when he talks to Sam about how his relationship with Kurt is over. This leads into Blaine's performance of 'Hopelessly Devoted to You', I have no sympathy for Blaine because when he was poking other guys all over Facebook he wasn't hopelessly devoted then. Therefore, I did not like this performance as Blaine is not a victim, Kurt is. This song is actually Blaine's audition for the school musical and when Artie says that Blaine would be perfect to play Danny Zuko, Blaine says that he can't because Grease is a romance. I don't care Blaine! After this, we get a surprise when Mike and Mercedes show up to help with the production of the musical. I'm so happy to see Mercedes again, I miss her so much. Mike who? In other parts of the school, Emma and Will discuss moving to Washington with Coach Beiste. Emma agrees to go to Washington with Will but she looks unhappy, we'll circle back to this later. Artie, Mercedes, Mike and Finn try to brainstorm about who could play the role of Danny, they come to dead ends until Mike inadvertently suggests that Finn search the football field for any aspiring actors/singers. That's when Finn spots Ryder Lynn played by 'The Glee Project' winner, Blake Jenner.
