Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09



Spoiler:
When Artie's chances of traveling with the group to Regionals are in question, Will challenges the kids to step out of their comfort zones and experience life from a different point of view. Meanwhile, the Glee Club hosts its first "diva-off" between Kurt and Rachel, and Sue reveals a softer side.

I was a few weeks behind, but now I'm all caught up. Bought the Glee soundtrack last week and love it. Normally I don't care for cover albums, but this one is solid.

All except for the autotune-extravaganza "Can't Fight This Feeling". If Cory can't sing well enough to keep them from doing that to his voice, he's better off either being in the background, or doing duets with Lea, who is talented enough to bury his vocals behind hers.

I'm looking forward to the Volume 2 cd coming out next month. Lots of good songs missing from Volume 1, like "Last Name", "Push It" and "Thong Song".

Agree, Can't fight this feeling was pretty bad. It really showed how thin Cory's vocals are.

Why does that photo look 15 years old?

I think someone scanned it from a magazine. I found it in a search for "glee cast".

Is Lea Michele really that skinny? The picture looks a little over-airbrushed to me.

Re: Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09

On a related note, I produced a little gag last week with the cast of Glee (Lea, Cory and Amber). I had one of them give our on-air talent a slushie facial. I think it turned out pretty funny. And to answer the above question: yes, Lea really is that skinny. I'm embedding it below.

Re: Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09

Not surprisingly, another great episode. I just don't see how this show can ever disappoint.

The preview for next week's episode looks awesome! Nothing like a little Nabakov to make teacher/student relations interesting.

BTW, what's with this talk about Lea being "that skinny"? You're making it sound like she's anorexic or something!

Re: Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09

Sue just keeps on surprising me. Made me tear up a bit.

Artie's line to Tina was great.

Puck is a turd, but he wants to do right. I think that Quinn is gonna fall hard when the time comes.

Got a little choked up there at the end myself.

Great ep.

Re: Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09

Yeah, teared up a few times during this one. Man...nothing but love for this show.

My only complaint, and this is so very minor, is that they really need to settle on whatever they are doing for Sectionals. They are adding like two songs a week

Re: Glee -- "Wheels" -- 11/11/09

I was touched by Artie's solo, and the episode just kept building and building to a solid episode that was very surprising, but also character-revealing through spot-on conversations, actions, and understanding. This show is truly a weekly treat to be savored and enjoyed.

I'd love to see the outtakes of that whole chair number at the end. There had to be some OOPS's

I think they're gonna surprise us with whatever they do for sectionals. If they showed them rehearsing the song or songs they're going to be performing over the course of several episodes, by the time they got there, in what I assume will be the season finale, it would be a little anticlimactic.

I'm glad Tina was featured more prominently here. I've been thinking over the last couple weeks how they should bring her out a little more. I hope Artie sees what it means for her to come to him with a secret like that, and that he doesn't hold it too harshly against her. It was silly of her to begin stuttering in the first place, but we can just add her to the list of people on this show who are finding it hard to let go of a lie they've been dragging out for so long.

Sue blew me away tonight. It was good to be surprised that she wasn't "up to something".

It was great to see a much softer side of Sue. I do wonder if

I was glad too that Tina was focused on this episode. I hope her and Artie eventually become a couple.

Great episode -- probably thanks to ZERO content from the wife-faking-a-pregnancy storyline

I felt like I was watching an after school special or Degrassi.

Definitely added a new layer to Sue tonight.

I actually didn't like them trying to humanize Sue. She's such a broad character; it rang a little false for me.

I do like the relationship between Kurt and his dad though.

Agreed.

Loved the Dancing with yourself solo at the beginning.
