Sue lets a handicap girl enter her cheerleading club, but Will thinks she's up to something. Actually, she pays respect for the girl since her own older sister is handicap. The Glee Club members are all caught in a wheelchair to share Arty's feelings.
Arty cannot make it to Sectionals on a bus, and the members of Glee Club are not willing to make a bake sale to support their friend. Will makes every member of Glee Club stay in a wheelchair for three hours a day to feel what their friend feels. They decide to throw a bake sale, with all the misery it may bring along. A handicap girl shows up at Sue's cheerleading auditions and she is willing to take her in her team, but Will thinks she is up to something. Sue's more personal life is revealed as she visits her older sister at an institution, where she is revealed to be handicap (very sad part). Quinn runs out of money for pregnancy treatments, Puck tries to help her, and Kurt and Rachel fight to conquer the lead of a female-sang song.
I have to say this one of the best episodes I have seen yet. It was a very touching episode. I like it how the show is dealing with handicaps. That makes the show a bit different. I also was surprised and very touched to see Sue with here sister.
I loved to see how the father of Kurt tried to deal that he son is gay How he is struggling and try his best to come along with that.
And last but not least I was happy to see Terri wasn't again in an episode. I do not like her much. It is a very boring character for me.
I enjoyed that the plot arch deterred from Will, Finn, Quinn although we did see and hear about them. Puck shows that he has substance feelings and desire to have a family life with Quinn. Kurt sabotages his defying gravity solo on purpose after watching his father become ridiculed due to his sexual preference and they have a very touching scene in the garage where we are introduced to the fact that they may have found common ground. The biggest character revelation was with Sue. She picks a new member of the cheerios who is developmentally disabled. Throughout the episode I think all were holding our breath to see how she crushes her. But oh no we see a side of her that has an emotional investment in this as her sister is also developmentally disabled. I enjoyed that Artie did not sacrifice his values when it came to women also. This episode was overall well but not on my favorite list.
While ceratainly not the best episode of the season it's still very good, there were some excellent moments and Noah has this great chemistry not only with rachel, but with quin, it's the sign of a good actor. I really liked seing more of artie he has an incredible voice much beter than finns i thought it was silly that the asian girl ( sorry i can't remeber her name) had been faking her stutter for all that time, and how touching was it seing that sue really does have a heart and cares about her little sister. I can't wait to see next week and would really like to hear more of mercedes and artie singing wise.
I really loved this episode... Glee is not afraid to touch themes that are usually spoken about with a certain "whisper factor".. And the thing I like about Glee the most is that it touches them with love and understanding in such a nice way.
I must admit that the Sue conclusion in this episode made me cry a bit... It was so touching, I didn't see that coming. It shines a whole new light on Sue's character. She was my favorite character before, but now she's definitely number 1.
The whole Diva fight didn't interest me that much, but that's most likely because of Rachel. That girl has the voice of a goddess, but those fights she keeps having with everyone about every single solo are getting kinda old for me :( Kurt's storyline was great tho, his dad is awesome for dealing so well with everything and I always like their scenes.
Artie is just so cute! It was nice to see how the whole team came together and saw what was it like for him being around them and trying very hard to fit in. I was sorry that it didn't work out with Tina, they would've been lovely together, but we can't have everything, can we :)
All in all, definitely my new favorite episode of Glee. I look forward to see how it all unravels.
I simply loved this episode from beginning to end. There were so many touching moments throughout the show that make this the most heartwarming yet. I'm not sure if we've seen a change in direction for Sue, but seeing her read to her older sister with Down's Syndrome was awesome. And to see what Kurt did for his father was absolutely incredible. I really loved Mike O'Malley's dramatic turn in this show, definitely not what I'm accustomed to see him act. Overall, this episode was a big turning point for the show. More episodes like this will go a long way to establishing this as a show with staying power!
As much as I would love to see some more spunky musical numbers on Glee, I'm more than content with some excellent character development. For the time being, at least! I'll admit that this episode had me on the edge of my seat for a while. If you're wondering why, it's because of the handicapped girl that Sue chooses as her new Cheerio. It was all a bit unsettling, to tell you the truth. I was honestly in a bit of a fit, completely understandable after all! Picking on a mentally ill high schooler, that's just wrong on so many different levels, right?
Well, my nonsensical worrying turned out to be for naught, as we saw a different side of the normally stark (Yet very comedic!) Sue. I found this episode to be a very touching one. The character development was pretty fantastic, and many of the actors and actresses that haven't been in the spotlight all too much have been brought forward.
This one hour episode is full of emotions and features some characters development. Though the singing is limited and the plot doesn't really music- related. This week central character is Artie. The glee club held a fundraiser of Artie. I like the fact the writers focus more attention to the second characters. And also the great thing is more CHARACTERS DEVELOPMENT! I'm concern, though, in the lack of "spectacular-ness" of the musical numbers comparing to the previous musical numbers in the past. But "The Proud Mary" number made sing along twice. And Who knew that Sue Sylvester has a "heart"?..... A blend of good drama and tasteful comedy with some music on top is this week episode.
Okay, so Glee just isn't funny anymore... well, as funny as it was for the first couple of episodes, and what happened to the whole Schue & and his falsely-pregnant while storyline?????
Anyway... at first, when they first introduced the mentally handicapped girl, I thought Glee had actually stooped to the level where they would make fun of retarded people. And then to make things worse, I thought that Sue would do everything in her power to humiliate at her after making her a cheerleader, but THANKFULLY i was wrong. instead, it turned out sue let the girl on the team because her older sister was mentally handicapped. omg u guys, it was sooo sweet when sue went to visit her sister into the hospital. i actually shed a tear. no lie. Anyway, next episode looks very good. But we'll just have to see, won't we?
Glee followed up its break with a very solid episode that helped remind me of why I enjoy this show so much in the first place. There's been a few episodes so far that haven't really done it for me. Sometimes, they're too melodramatic and sometimes, they have storylines that aren't too interesting, but you can't deny the energy behind the actors and writers of this show. Ryan Murphy seems to have really scored a hit with this show, even if the Nielsen ratings don't show it.
The thing I liked most about the episode was how Murphy was able to juggle about a half dozen plots without letting them get out of control. The episode started off with Will letting the Glee Club know that they'd have to somehow raise money if Artie wanted to ride on the bus with them, since they don't have a handicapped accessible bus. From there, the plots unfolded and carried out without seeming rushed.
Also, each character had a pretty decent plot to work with, and we learned quite a lot about everybody. In perhaps one of the most touching scenes of the entire show, we see why Sue was so willing to give Becky, the disabled girl, a chance. That being said, the show handled two pretty risque plots with ease and fairness: disabled people and homosexuality. With Kurt being one of the main characters, the show has already investigated what being gay in school entails for someone like him (although its not obviously like this for EVERYone), but we got to see more of him and his father's relationship. I really enjoyed those scenes, as it gives us more depth to each character.
And why look at Sue as a villain when you have Quinn screwing up everybody's life? She's having Puck's kid and forcing Finn to take responsibility, without him knowing. It's a little frustrating at times, but hopefully, it'll have a good payoff.
Normally, I really don't like musicals, but Glee has been pretty consistent all year and has definitely become my guilty pleasure show.
I think it's great that Glee is trying to give everyone in the cast a fair share of the spotlight. And it was a refreshing change to see someone other than Will, Finn, Quinn, and Rachel do all the talking. Some characters stepped up this time to add more depth to their personalities. Puck shows that he is more than a hot arrogant guy and actually has plans of having a family life with Quinn. Kurt sabotages his defying gravity solo on purpose after watching his father go through the pain of having a queer kid. And the surprise element this time was Sue. We see a side of her, one where she supports a mentally challenged sister. The writers are putting in a lot of seriousness into her characters. I am not sure if that what I want, considering my initial impressions of her.
Artie is front and center when the bus they use to take the Glee Club is too expensive for them to pay for. Will tries to get the club to find a way to pay for the bus. Quinn, Finn, and Puck parallel the story. Sue ends up revealing something big!
A timely message with the fact that school, city, state, and all sorts of industries are cutting back and budgets are getting harder to build and maintain.
Will is concerned that the camaraderie will be hurt is Artie is not part of the group for traveling so he speaks to the club about figuring out a way to get the bus for the school. Maybe a bake sale? Also Will gets the kids to be in wheel chairs for three hours a day so they can understand Artie's real predicament.
Puck is now pushing Quinn as he is willing to help her pay for her mounting bills. All Finn seems to do is complain because he can't get a job. Rachel helps Finn solve that problem.
Tina reveals her big secret to Artie after she kisses him and then he rejects her for telling a lie and not really understanding his situation. Personally I think this was a little fast and hard. All of this comes after he obviously has had a crush on her. She didn't do anything to directly effect him, she did it for her own reasons.
The story with Sue was strange more in how it all started then in the big news we got at the end. It was interesting to learn and interesting to see how she handled herself through it all.
The final big piece to this episode was the Kurt/Rachel sing off. It was very touching the exchanges between Kurt and his father.
Overall my feeling on this episode is not enough singing and too much drama. Personally I don't watch this show to see the vast building of the different characters and relationships. I watch it for the singing and the performance numbers. If I wanted to watch the other type of shows I could switch on the CW any night but Thursday and Friday. Thanks for reading...
