4x05 The Role You Were Born to Play

4x05 The Role You Were Born To Play

And Glee is back, ladies and gentlemen.
A very good episode that sent me onto a trip down memory lane to the glory of season one.  It was certainly worth the 5 week hiatus.


So before I start babbling over the cry-fest that was Hopelessly Devoted to You, I have to say that I’m liking the Blaine\Sam bromance more and more. Blaine’s dialogue was heart breaking and yet had that dry sense of humor ( I don’t gel on the weekends & buying a lighthouse and starting an artist colony). I don’t know what’s up with Ryan Murphy and lighthouses this season but it was a humorous cut in the middle of painful scene ( I don’t know if I’m the only details freak to notice that but Eli C’s profile picture was a lighthouse). The only part I didn’t like was Sam’s quick dismissal to Blaine’s feelings.
Hopelessly Devoted to You was just amazing. The set-up, the montage, Blaine’s expressions, everything was just beautiful and I LOVED the meltdown part ( I died a little inside though. It breaks my heart to see Klaine broken up). And Finn’s face was priceless. He went from being mesmerized with the song to uncomfortable to lost then back to uncomfortable in a span of a minute. To me, it felt like he liked the song but was torn because that’s the guy who cheated on his brother. But he could see how broken Blaine was about it and then he was just plain lost on what to say and how to be a director.
Blow me (One Last Kiss) was so lively and fun, I especially liked Marley’s energy in it. I loved Everybody Talks which is saying something because I really don’t like Kitty. Born to Hand Jive felt like it was taken from season 1, all of that energy and dancing around just reminded me of the way Glee started. The only song that I didn’t like was Juke Box Hero, the scene leading to it was great and I liked Finn’s pep talk but the song itself killed my mood.
While the episode focused more on the auditions and Wemma’s relationship troubles, I felt it completely disregarded Britney’s reaction to the break up. She was her usual bubbly self in the couple of shots that she appeared in. That didn’t strike me as very realistic. I get that there’s only so much they can fit in one episode but she came across as being completely fine which is impossible for someone recovering from a painful break up.
Another couple that was disregarded: Tike. They never explained why they broke up in the first place and their scene together was very brief. Also, the last time we saw them talking, Tina refused to audition for Grease. Then she turns up miraculously on the cast list, did we miss something?
The way the club checked the cast list was super cute. I especially loved Blaine’s appreciative look and Kitty’s incredulous reaction was so funny. All in all, it was a great episode and I can’t wait for Kurt, Rachel and Santana to show up in the next one.
