The Glee-Full Gab
Top 8 Most Confusing Aspects of “All or Nothing”
By Becca
Last night was the end of Glee’s season 4, although it felt like more of a midway point for a longer season. A lot happened and not enough at the same time. I’ll have plenty to say about that concept in a week or so, but for now, in no particular order, here’s a list of the biggest things that made me go hmm?
The Glee-Full Gab
“Feuds”
By Becca
The feuds came nonstop this episode of Glee, so much so that even the previouslies were taken over. Dramatic music introduced the flashbacks that you’ll note only contained Finn, Will, and a mention of Emma. None of the other feuds were set up because none of them existed before this episode, unless you count the mounting tension between honest Santana and the NYC crew.

Girls (and Boys) on Film
By Becca
What a tangled web Santana can weave in one NYC loft over a couple of snowed-in evenings! Note to Kurt and Rachel: If you have any more secrets, you may as well spill them now. Santana will wring them out of you and hang them up to dry with no compunction. She’ll even do it in front of your sweet new boyfriend.

Diva
By Becca
This episode strengthened the bond between Finn, coffee, and sugar (Not Sugar, she was absent). It gave us the hilarious nicknames of “Blainey Days,” “Bling Bling,” and “Tay tay.” A harmless, blue, Vick’s VapoRub jar rose to stardom. And Santana’s pipes stole the show.

Naked
By Becca
Last night’s episode of Glee, “Naked,” covered that topic from nearly all angles, both on camera and in storyline. Emotional vulnerability came from Jake and Marley’s fears to exchange I love yous. Then there was Rachel’s dilemma over nudity for career advancement, and the New Direction boys’ topless fundraiser, which culminated in Sam believing baring his body was all he had to offer. Ultimately, it was the sweet, tender music performances that impressed me most, which was a nice change from last week in which they were all a blur of blue dresses and suits.

Sadie Hawkins
By Becca
A month and a half has passed since Glee last aired. In the meantime, Kurt started his classes at NYADA and the school somehow became much more of a school than it did when Rachel started. William McKinley High School has apparently never entertained the idea of girls asking boys to a dance much less had a dance for that specific purpose. Trent Chubby Warbler became important. Mostly, though, I’m excited that Tina Cohen-Chang has become the voice (and eyes) of the people.

Dynamic Duets
By Becca
Last week’s “Glease” left me cold, but I loved every — well, almost every — second of “Dynamic Duets.” This is why Glee is a show I could never quit. It’s always a toss-up whether most of my viewing experience will be spent rolling my eyes or laughing with delight. A super-hero-themed extravaganza complete with a cat? You bet the laughter won that coin toss.

Glease
By Becca
Generally, my reactions to watching Glee are positive. It’s mindless entertainment with a heavy dose of angst that usually sneaks up on you. I like that combination, and musicals always require extensive suspension of disbelief anyhow. I like musicals, so I’m willing to do that. But “Glease” had a few too many moments of convenient lines or plots that disregarded past history, so I could not engage this time. Let’s call them Convenient Contrivances.

The Role You Were Born to Play
By Becca
It’s been six weeks. Six weeks since Rachel kicked ass in her break-up speech with Finn. Six weeks since Santana decided it was smarter to set Brittany free than end up cheating on her with chicks she’ll pick up in the library. Six weeks since Blaine ripped Kurt’s (and my) heart out by hooking up with a lighthouse named Eli C. And now we learn that Kurt and Blaine planned to buy a lighthouse together in Provincetown someday? I just don’t know what to make of this development.

The Breakup
By Becca
I’m stunned. My primary response to watching this episode of Glee is simply that: stunned. It’s an excellent episode, which I can only say after pondering it for some time, but I can’t come up with a stronger reaction than shell-shocked. That’s because, at least as far as Kurt and Blaine’s relationship is concerned, we don’t have much else to go on than a revelation that felt forced and unnecessary. Most of the other relationship drama in this episode hit the mark, and some of it was immensely satisfying. So let’s start there, with Rachel breaking up with Finn.

Makeover
By Becca
Three episodes in, and we have three episode titles that have said a lot about the content of the plots. Being made over in any number of ways was the obvious theme of this episode. Sam and Brittany were given ones for their appearances and presentations. Kurt, Blaine, and Will pursued ones that were more life-centered. Rachel got to do a little bit of both. But I’ll get to all that later. Let’s talk Blaine getting his first voiceover!

Hold On to Sixteen
By Becca
In the third sectionals episode of Glee, Quinn and Sam both separately came to the same conclusion, although it took Sam about five minutes to find it when Quinn’s been searching all fall. That realization was that it’s okay to be young and teenagers and enjoy life. They don’t have to shoulder all those adult burdens just yet, and they should embrace that while they can. I like their shared realization if only because it was awesome to hear Quinn, in the script of a musical show, plead “Please don’t sing” after Sam rejected her advances.
The Glee-Full Gab – New York
By Becca, the Gourmez
Glee’s jam-packed finale episode showcased one of the show’s main selling points, one that dates all the way back to the premiere episode: glee. No, I don’t mean singing in a glee club, though watching this club enjoy the heck out of expressing themselves through song fits the bill. What I mean is what Will Schuester read on that plaque the day he decided to take over the McKinley High Glee Club: “By its very definition, glee is about opening yourself up to joy.” That’s what I saw in this episode, even while wondering why no one commented on Quinn’s haircut, why Mr. Schue couldn’t perform on Broadway for the summer, why Rachel and Kurt wouldn’t know that Cats had closed when they were young children. Despite all that, this was an episode full of the characters’ passions and joys.

Guilty pleasures flew at us nonstop this episode! There were so many that Blaine reading Goosebumps, the kid wearing coolots, and Santana’s obvious love for her new pillow were barely passing gags. The primary focuses were Kurt’s compulsions, Blaine’s crush on Sam, and a love for songs that make the hipsters among us snicker — and let’s face it, we are all hipsters in our own ways.
