Just a great episode. Teared up a bit at the Sam stuff. That must be rough for a kid. And it's interesting seeing how much strain the group is under. I know we had some similar issues with cheating and such in the choirs I was a part of growing up. Nice to see them address it.

And Brittany's talk show is awesome. Especially the interview with Lord Tubbington.

Next week looks like a doozy.

I liked this episode. I like the storyline of Terri scheming with Sue just so she hope to move out of the efficiency with the raccoon in the wall. I also liked Fondue for Two and how Brittany's cat is overweight and only eats human food.

So Brittney is a "sad panda" (Nice South Park reference).

And somehow, when your poor, you lose all your clothes. Do those get repo'ed?

I thought that part was dumb too. They could gave a better reason for Sam needing to have used clothes from a gay boy.

The last few episodes have had good song and...a good story.
Still not liking the Sue stuff. Her and Terri's scenes were the worst part of the episode.

Based on how these threads usually go, I'm surprised that we're not on page 3 of this thread with people flipping out over the "It Gets Better" ad.

They said - they sold most everything else for money and space.

I thought this episode was good, but mostly because of the music. There were some good jokes, but I really couldn't care less about the plot lines. Sue seems to be on auto-pilot.

Would loved to have heard Gold Dust Women and The Chain by the group but thought this was a pretty good episode...

Sue has become like finally getting a date with the prom queen, then finding out she's a meth addicted tramp who turns tricks the next town over for $10/pop. Why was I so enamored?

Yeah, Sue is horrible. I love Jane Lynch as an actress, and I used to like this character, but she's been off the rails for most of this season. Did anybody laugh at the "disguises" in the Starbucks?

As far as Sue, I can only guess the Producers know that she has gone off the rails because she hasn't been used so much lately. Can't they see, they have written her into a corner? They show she has feelings with the Christmas episode and then next episode she is doing the same ol' thing, plotting against the Glee club. It's old and tired.
With all she has done illegally, she allowed to run the school newspaper and print lies and have everyone turn against each other? Nothing happens to her for doing this? The Principal doesn't care?
It's almost as badly written as Teri's fake pregnancy last year.

Loved The "It gets better" commercial. I am sure that has upset the hateful right-wingers.

Nope, he had sold it. The Gleeks pitched in and got it back for him.

I don't necessarily mind that Sue's act is "getting tired." I see her like I see the Wile E. Coyote -- he's always trying to catch the road runner each and every episode. You know what to expect.

I just wish, along with that, she had something else going on and was, overall, just written to be a bit more interesting. But I feel like that with most of the characters.

I'm to the point in this series where I FFW to the musical numbers and don't give a shit about the rest.

I FFW through most of the songs now. Some are just really bad.

Re: Glee -- "Rumours" -- 5/03/11

I've thought most of the second half of this season has been insufferable, but I like Rumours enough that I really enjoyed this. In addition to Gold Dust Woman and the Chain (which shouldn't have been limited just to the radio), I would have liked to have heard Second Hand News.

Are we supposed to be rooting for Brittany and Santana, b/c I like her better with Artie.

She is now a caricature.
And Wile E Coyote would always get what he deserves. Nothing ever happens to Sue. How many times can you be against the Glee club with no good reason other than to be the Antagonist?
