So how and why is this so wrong?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Great show. I just finished watching it, since I'm always busy on Wednesdays, but holy cow, there was a lot going on. I'm so glad that there were so many things resolved (Pilsbury/Tanaka, the baby, the not baby, sectionals, Sue, etc). It really felt like a season finale, and if it's not returning for 4 months, how is it not a season finale? I'm a little concerned that a lot of the storylines that we have been following have been ended, or have been concluded in a way that they will be difficult to pick up in the spring. I'm sure that the Schu and Pillsbury thing will take center stage, along with going to regionals, but a lot of the smaller things seem to have been resolved. It's nice that everybody is telling the truth, but it leaves little room for a continuing storyline through this point. Anybody know if it's being picked up for a second season? I hope so...
Originally Posted By ToonKirby Like I said, this episode was written as the series finale in case it wasn't picked up for the remainder of the first season, thus why some of the story lines were wrapped up. Even so, there is still plenty to mine here, such as the fall-out when the Will/Emma relationship is revealed and what happens once Quinn's baby is born. And there is no doubt that Sue will find some way to get back her job. Plus, we have yet to see the "non school" lives of at least half of the glee club, plenty of possibilities there. It's too soon for news of the second season, although the outlook is very good, especially with the post-"American Idol" slot the rest of the season.

Originally Posted By Kala I agree lesmisfan. I loved this epi. The music was awesome! April 13th? That's a long wait thank you Fodd! I watch the music scenes over and over. I can't wait to see what evil wrath Sue will pour on poor William.
Originally Posted By magic0214 God I love Glee, especially Emma. She is like my favorite. So happy Will and Emma kissed! They need to be together. They are meant for each other! Rachael doing Don't Rain on my Parade was amazing! Made the episode. Really didnt care for You cant always get what you want though. I hope Sue's nice side comes out again, her going to her sister in the hospital was very cute and nice. And I know leave you with my favorite Sue quote "That was more insulting than an Elementary school production of Hair"
Originally Posted By kmsandrbs Sue coming back ... if it doesn't happen shortly after the show picks back up, they are going to have some unhappy fans (her character is very popular). I, also, had some issues with the kiss with Emma and Will. But it's more that I have hope for people to work harder on struggling marriages, not that it didn't fit in with the show. In some ways, I felt that they wrapped up too much, but we actually (despite the kiss) still have a married Will, so I don't think that one is really wrapped up. Also ... why would we expect Finn and Quinn to be on any more that one more season? Captain of the football team and head cheerleader should be at least juniors, and even that is stretching it. I guess Finn could flunk one year, given that he has not demonstrated a penchant for academic success. But, all in all, I am seriously enjoying the show. And I'd love to see a Kristin/Idina pairing!
Originally Posted By Labuda Lisa, I don't see Jerry and Ann as anything like Will & Emma if that's what you're referring to. I *do* want Will & Emma to end up together, but I see that kiss as too darn soon since he hasn't even filed for divorce.
Originally Posted By danyoung I don't know - there was so much sexual tension during the entire season, and so little of that at home. I think he burst out of his bad marriage and raced toward the thing that he wanted most. It all made very good sense to me. Now, if I could just figger out how those kids, talented as they are, learned music and choreography on 3 totally new numbers for sectionals in just a few minutes . . .

I have several friends who have been involved with the filming (extras, but important ones), and I've heard very good things about the coming episodes. From the commercial I saw on Sunday, it looks like they might be in the first episode, which would be particularly exciting. And I've also heard that there is going to be a Lady Gaga song for one of the episodes coming up soon, and the costume designer is freaking out about it. : )

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Anybody catch it? It seemed a little different than the first half of the season, but I'm still excited for next week's episode. The general plot didn't seem to be as clever as the other ones, but I suppose they need to set up the conflicts for the rest of the season, since we weren't left with too much. Several of the one liners were pretty good ("Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?"), but overall something felt like it was missing. A lot of the songs were really awkwardly placed too. They all seemed to be "I need to sing a song for the club, so I will sing a song" instead of being more integrated into the plot. They were still relevant to what was going on, but it was just a little more removed than usual. And whoever came up with the idea of Sue doing Vogue is a genius.
Originally Posted By magic0214 (((And whoever came up with the idea of Sue doing Vogue is a genius.))) AMEN TO THAT! Looking forward to future episodes, like the Madonna one, this was lack-luster for me I wish they had Lea singing Don't Cry for me Argentina though!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros One other question I had was how long this episode was after the last one of the original set. At certain points, it seemed like it had just been a few days (they were trying to come up with songs to prepare for regionals), but at other points, it seemed like it had been weeks or even months (Sue had time to go to Boca, think about what she had done, and come back and have dinner with Figgins all before the episode started). Some of the relationships seemed a little different, but I'm hoping that's just setting things up for later on. I'm really looking forward to next week's episode as well, since about 30 of my friends are going to be in it. They're the marching band at the pep rally, and apparently it's a pretty sweet scene! I would have done it, but I was home for Christmas break when they had the rehearsals for it.
Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, so right now I'm only partway through this episode, but I am LOVING IT! I'm SOOOOO glad Glee has returned! Right now Rachel is doing "Gives you Hell" and while I prefer the original since it's got a male voice, it's darned good. Oh, and I'm TOTALLY looking forward to Sue doing "Vogue!" Once I'm done watching, it'll be time to take my ipod upstairs, download this episode's songs.
Originally Posted By Labuda Just saw "Vogue" - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED Kurt in it, too! Mercedes was a nice touch as well, of course. But gay boy in the video for a Madonna song ROCKS!
