    This week on Amazing Trainwrecks in TV History (sometimes referred to as Glee), Emma bailed on her wedding and everyone kept partying because FREE BOOZE, and a bunch of different people had sex with each other.

      Yes, definitely want to see them together again. In the meantime, loved how after Merceds got them out of the vehicle, they had to use their coats to hide their arousal lol.

      I must confess I enjoyed very much the collective madness induced by the wedding+valentine combination that is "I do".

      This episode marks a turning point in the treatment of sex by Glee. Up to now, sex was considered as a source of slapstick . the various jokes of Brittany's promiscuity) or as something precious and holy (as in the "first times" episode). When here we see all the various couples that enter in the hotel bedrooms happily singing "we've got tonite", you understand that something's changed. Some people could consider it not appropriate for the tone of the show, but surely it exhibits a more laid-back and "adult" view of sex. It's the New York point of view here, not Lima's.



      It is still not sure what all these old and new pairings will bring to the general plot of the next episodes. It seems to me that at least the main ones (Rachel+Finn and Kurt+Blaine) were put mainly to show their final destiny; they are endgame, as Finn says. I also liked how the authors managed to convey their different interpretation of the event, especially in the Kurt and Blaine situation. Others, like the Quinntana combination, seemed to be put just to give a treat to the fans. The feeling is that all of them somehow grew a little. In any case it was fun!



      Another merit of this episode was to put an end to the awful Tina storyline.

      Also, in all this madness, the "normality" of the Jake-Ryder-Marley relationship is a breath of fresh air and it was well played in its clich.



      However not everything is fitting well. The episode comes also with its dose of weirdness. First of all, the fact that nobody seemed really upset about the cancellation of the wedding and Emma's escape. Come on New Directions, I know you want just to hook up in the hotel's bedrooms, but show at least some sympathy!

      I'm also conflicted about the two big "revelations" concerning the Rachel and Brody couple at the end. surely they will push their New York plot forward, but I wonder if it was really necessary.

      I'm also not that crazy about the Artie development.moreless

      Every once and while (now more rarely than before) Glee rewards us minority group of both dedicated and perceptive fans with a situation so outrageous and risque. I can't believe it was allowed on television. Glee is cartoon, but in real-life, which is kind of awesome. If you think about it the show has really cultivated the only acceptable (albeit absurd) world where a group of kids singing all the time could legitimately exist. It's quite clever in that respect and it never takes itself too seriously as a result. That's why we get scenes like the entire glee club throwing up on stage or information like Sue's mother being a Nazi Hunter or Emma's pamphlets (So You're Dating a Two-Timing Ho). And even though, minus a few especially inspired standalone performances (I'm looking at you Paradise By the Dashboard Light), the singing is the show's least attractive feature, sometimes it is accompanied by the most ridiculous of scenes. This week we got to see couples, friends, and handicapped associated disappear behind closed doors for some sexy time. Where else on TV do we get to see so many high school students doing it? And nearly statutory (Emma and Finn) and actually statutory (Kitty and Puck) indulgences?








      But he real award for Glee-iest part of Glee this week goes to Emma and Will for their ability have a disastrous wedding where they are nowhere near the focus. Did the students even care? Emma and Will have never been less important than this season. The chase is over. They're together (sorta). And unless we want to condemn them to the absolute ennui of Pam-and-Jimness (a fate worse than breaking up), they need to stay shaken up or altogether invisible. But now Glee has dangled two weddings in front of us and pulled them out from under us. I guess they think it's okay because we got two simultaneous weddings suddenly that we didn't even ask for (a la Furt). But you can't expect us to care. We haven't even seen the groom-to-almost-be since Bulemo-Girl took a stage dive. And Gingersnaps only reared her redhead last week to lock lips with Finn (who really has lost weight). Continuity has never really been a strong feature of the show and I get it. It's high school. You're hopelessly in love with X this week, but next week it'll be Y (and those letters aren't even always people). And in their absurd caricatures, the writers of Glee sometimes stumble upon more realistic characteristics than most shows. But if you want us to want to keep you on television, New Directions, you have to make me care about you.



      Glee's cast may be the sluttiest cast on TV. Finally taking the trophy from Six Feet Under. That coach from Mean Girls was right. Don't have sex. Because you will get pregnant. And die (or become paralyzed). And the show has been shoving it down our throats lately that college is a time of real sexual awakening despite all the sexual awakening and baby makin'/fakin' that went on in high school. Now that you've gotten through a semester of college, you'll have no absolutely emotional hang-ups about trying lesbian sex with your best frenemy. You're mature now.



      I take it back. There is a feature of the show less enticing than the singing: the sophomores. I've realized that every episode of this season that I haven't hated has completely ignored them. I'm glad their stories are completely separate from the real cast's. There's no conflicted feelings. I just don't like them. I'm even willing to throw them Puck, if their keep their dyslexic hands off of everyone else. They remind me of that episode of Community where we discover that despite their antics the Greendale Six are pretty insignificant and unknown as students. So Ryder, Kitty, Marley, and Jake, get as incestuous as you want, because no one cares. I probably will never give up on Glee as a show. It's too unique. But I fear for a season where we'll be expected to care wholly about them.





      The (Other) Facts Were These...

      Kudos to Finn for passing out after sex. Why did no one else?

      Why wasn't Unique invited to the wedding? Maybe Britney is right. She is Mercedes.

      Hagatha Christie. Awesome.

      It's okay that Rachel lied to Brody. Why? Because he's a prostitute.

      I think wheelchair jokes are funny. So sue (Sylvester) me. But how does Glee get away with so many of them?

      New Wheelchair Girl:"Surprised to me?

      Artie: No, I saw you two minutes ago. You took forever wheeling up

      Yes, I referenced Community and Six Feet Under in a review of Glee

      Emma and Will's "Getting Married Today" kinda knocked my socks off.

    • Glee Madness

      9.0


      "I Do" was a slap on the face waiting to happen. I will review this in pieces

      since the whole episode was filled with madness.



      First i'll talk about the weirdness. The Quinn and Santana hook up? It just felt

      like those characters have nothing to do on the show, so why not slap them together.

      Where the heck is Beaste?? time constraints is the only sense i can think of. (she

      should have been Best man no.2! with a female twist) There is no way that Rachel's

      baby is Finn's! no pregnancy test is that good. So that baby is a prostitute Brody

      child. These are pretty much the only bits that didn't quite sink in the glee tasty

      and delicious punch.



      First awesome and hilarious madness was Kurt and Blaine's hook up. Kurt's catiness

      is coming out perfusely in the last couple of episodes and it is GOLD. It was great

      to have him straighten Tina up, seriously she was turning into a freaky

      stalker/vapo-raper (haha! Chris Colfer the scene stealer!) And it is so obvious Kurt

      is trying hard to play it cool, and Blaine can see right through it. Glad to have

      blaine's honesty around. This young man is fearless!



      The second Madness was Finn and Rachel's hook up. Well madness as in he actually

      made a move for once in his life, and it was SEXY AS HELL YALL. Rachel was right not

      to resist.



      Last Madness was Brody! The undercover funny parts pleaser. Nice work glee. I would

      totally believe he's a man of the night. Why not exploit his goods, of which there

      is an abundance. An what better time than Valentine's, when the world is full of sad

      girls.



      The expected awesome. Sue being the fallback bride was hilarious. Classic sue. The

      chessy lending a hand to the bride was expected, but she just sat on the sidelines

      watching the wedding turn into a deadly plane crash. It was characteristically

      accurate. Only time she should help is during competitions.



      Another expected was Emma fleeing. It has nothing to do with the kiss of course, but

      more to do with how inept Will is at dealing with Emma's OCD. Where was the wedding

      planner, and he's only in charge of music? That's like an effortless phone call and

      glee practice away! Thus all the pressure sat on poor Emma`s fragile shoulders. Can't

      blame him for everything though, but his help would have gone a long way. His

      ex-wife was right, school kids first then family. He didn't treat Emma any

      different. Hopefully this is a wake up call.



      The Jake, Marley and Ryder Bonanza was generally expected. Ryder is definitely on the hot seat now and did the jump-on-Marley's lap move. Well... more a jump on her lips. But hey! Who wouldn't root for Ryder? Also i find it hard to believe he has no girlfriend. Glee writers should at least have him and that creepily mute cheerleader mack out against the lockers between classes. He's lonely, she's a weirdo; Great combo AND definitely good for us gleeks.



      Best song: Emma's impossibly wordy song "We're getting married", or whatever its called.

      Best quote: Kurt exclaims: "Did you vapo-rape my ex-boyfriend?"

      Best moves: Artie's sizzling dance moves. Hands down.







      This episode came and went like a fast train, but it sure stopped at some fun

      destinations, and some dodgy-never-go-there-again stations!

      • Kurt: Okay, Tina. I say this with total love, but the moment we all saw coming is finally here, you're a hag. You're hagged out. You're in love with Blane, and it's creepy. Stop.
        Tina: What do you know about love? You just come and go. Who's been here to support him? Me. Who took him to Sadie Hawkins? Me. Who put him in bed when he got sick and rubbed VapoRub on his little muscle chest while he slept?
        Kurt: What? You? Huh?
        Tina: What? No, I didn't mean...This isn't about me, Kurt. I have to go (turns and walks away)
        Kurt: (calls out to her) Did you VapoRape my ex-boyfriend? Don't walk away from me, Tina Cohen-Chang!
