Glee reactions

[pinksonia]

Things I enjoyed

• Rachel and Finn after "Like a Virgin."  I loved that they both lied about going through with it.  And especially that Rachel lied that she had while Finn lied that he hadn't.  
• Which I guess I should also mention that I really liked the choreography or maybe more importantly the cinematography of "Like a Virgin".  I liked all the cutting from one couple to another and the fact that they were all doing the same things.  Even if it was just in their heads. 
• Loved Kurt and Mercedes getting a solo duet with the cheerios.  As well as their glimpse into hurt!Sue, even if some of it seemed like she was putting them on. 
• Loved the Meta commentary in glee club: "And you always just trot me out to wail on the last note of the song.  That's not okay"  Oh! Mercedes. 
• And finally loved, loved, loved feminist!Quinn.  "Women still make seventy cents to every dollar men make.  That attitude begins in high school."  I particularly love it since Quinn is portrayed generally as a character with rather conservative values. 

Things I didn't enjoy so much

• Mostly this category boils down to the fact that I'm not wild about the increase in musical numbers.  Before, I would have said I was watching the show for the songs, but it turns out I need there to be actual plot connecting those songs.  By the third musical number I was actually annoyed. 
• That medley with Rachel and Finn running around the hallways -- totally not needed, and to my view not particularly well done.  Mostly I was there going "did you really just pull all those books off the shelves in the Library? Don't do that!"
• I thought the girls hair for the first number was not particularly flattering for the majority of the actresses in the number.  I'm sure it was a Madonna hairstyle they were re-creating but ugh. 
• I've had enough of Jesse's swarminess  and he's only been on for two episodes. 
• Really? They got a full choir to come to their glee club show for back up? Really?
