...so yeah, so much for the attempt at a timely reply... My failure, let me show you it.
Relevant to our conversation: The most recent Glee episode (the one where HSS is performed aka "Special Education") was actually one of the recent ones that I felt was really damn enjoyable. Only minimal amounts of fail or just plain strange moments! Dalton Academy totally stops being this super shiny utopia, which was an appreciated touch** and Blaine is just so fascinating to me. He seems so shiny and perfect and totally in control, I just want to see him all ~undone and I do like that he also has character flaws that are slowly becoming obvious (conflict avoidance! Tends to err on the side of conforming! Gives very "ripped from self-help books" advice!).
**I am amused by people describing it as being ~THE BORG~ but on the other hand-- they ARE an acapella choir and you have to consider the group sound!
OH AND ARTIE AND BRITTANY HAVE LEGIT CONVINCED ME TO KIND OF SHIP THEM. Brittany/Santana OTP fo' sure, but the writers really showed some adorable interaction between Artie and dearest Britt-britt. But speaking of Santana, her performance of "Valerie" was AMAZEBALLS. That voice plus the fucking fantastic lead dance performances by Brittany and Mike Chang? HOT DAMN. HOT DAMNNNNN INDEED. I heartily recommend the episode for that part alone, that is now one of my top 5 Glee performances. There was even a lovely bit in the end where Tina and Mercedes (!) sing "Dog Days Are Over". My mind would have truly been blown with a cover of COSMIC LOVE (BEST Florence + the Machine song everrr, imho!) Such a cute performance, that last one <333. Sam & Quinn are a cute BLONDE AS HELL couple to look at, but their rendition of "Time of our Lives" fell so flat to me... their voices are pleasant but not ~that strong and man, I just don't like that song too much.
OKAY ENOUGH GLEE BLATHER and lol this honestly took me nearly all day between calls. FFFFFFml ://
PART TWO AGES LATER because life ate me again
