4x06 Glease

I have really mixed feelings towards this episode. Some parts were good, some were frustrating and some were just plain pointless. Some spoilers said it would be heartwarming but I couldn’t find anything heartwarming about it, maybe they meant heartbreaking?

The whole debacle with Sue felt very season one. They even used the same music from The Sue Sylvester Shuffle. I don’t know, I was starting to like Glee-friendly Sue and I think Kitty is providing enough antagonism as it is. Alas, Sue is back to her old ways. Who knows, maybe the writers intend to use that storyline as a way to help Finn grow.

I definitely hate Kitty’s guts now. Even in their worst days, Quinn and Santana didn’t hold a torch to Kitty. That girl just added a new definition to the word mean or maybe I just like Marley too much. I didn’t like the way her eating disorder was addressed though, it was solved too easily for my taste but I think it will be dealt with in later episodes.

Loved the Klaine\Finchel scene. It was exactly what the first post-break up meeting should feel like. And I just wanted to cuddle Blaine and Kurt and tell them everything was going to be okay. The way they kept avoiding each other’s eyes was heartbreaking.

Here are the parts I have a problem with: we’ve already established that Kurt needed to talk to Blaine while Rachel was fine with not talking to Finn because she already had “closure”. What actually happened was that Finchel were the ones who got the closure talk while Klaine didn’t even get a whole minute. I can accept that Kurt felt he wasn’t ready to talk to Blaine although he was saying the exact opposite thing in the start of the episode but the Finchel talk was too much. What was the point of it anyway? They already had their closure and the writers didn’t need to give us a reason for them not talking for a couple of episodes or for Rachel falling for Brody. They’re broken up, they live in different cities and people usually DO move on after a break up.

Finche’s talk just took time from other couples, like say Brittana or Tike. Tike are the most ignored relationship on the show despite being the longest. Fans don’t really voice their displeasure over this simply because we didn’t develop an emotional attachment to them like we did to the other couples. We don’t know all that much about that relationship anyway. Why did they break up in the first place? Was it a mutual decision? We don’t know and I, for one, would’ve chosen a scene with them over the repeated Finchel closure scene.

For someone who supposedly was in love with her girlfriend for years (the sophomore comment in TBU), Santana sure seemed fine and dandy. She didn’t seem too affected until Brittany commented on the song. I would’ve expected that reaction to come several months later, when she accepts the break up and the heartache lessens to the point when she only remembers the good times. But to be that calm and collected? Sorry it’s too soon for me.

Cassandra’s intrusion in There Are Worse Things I Could Do made absolutely no sense. It would’ve been better to keep it just between Santana and Wade. And why the hell was Brody shirtless in the first place?

You’re the One I Want was fun and Ryder and Marley were great. I also liked Rachel’s fantasy. What I loathed though was the awkward camera angle used in that fantasy; it made the actors look SO weird.

Blaine was flawless as Teen Angel. While I’m not fond of the song, the scene was perfect. And the slight hitch in his performance when he locked eyes with Kurt was amazing.
