bluegeek | Gleecap: Acafellas (S1E3)

Fast Forward Count: *ponders* I think just 1 this time. Though I did type this up while watching this time, which may possibly blunt the impact of the most embarrassing scenes.

Yay! This is the episode with Josh Groban! I love him. I hope this episode isn't agonizing.

″To tell you the truth, I'm terrified. I don't know how to do this.″ Awwww, poor Will. It's gonna be a long hard fall for him, isn't it? Also, announcing at this early date that it's a boy isn't make anyone go O_O? I mean, it's reeeeeeeally early to know for sure.

Did Emma cut her hair? And is she dusting each individual leaf of her office plants? I... haven't dusted my home since I moved in. At least not on purpose. I've handi-vacced. Does that count? Washing the counters and sinks maybe. But the movie shelf and coffee table? Not so much.

Oh my god, Sandy. ″Hot wood in those teenagers' hands?″ I need bleach. Quickly. Also, are we seriously going to find and use every single stereotype there is? Because if so? It's gonna be a long season. Hey! They just acknowledged the existence of fanfiction! That makes me laugh in inappropriate ways.

Time for an evil Sue strategy session with the infiltrating Cheerios. Okay, so the Cheerios are evil too, this has been established already, I think. But now they are on individual strike missions? This is gonna end well. Also? Please someone tell me that Mercedes is not going to develop a hopeless crush on Kurt. Please? Watching three characters pine away fruitlessly is enough, isn't it? Also: really, Mercedes? Really? I thought you were a bright girl. Your gaydar is worse than mine.

Why is Josh Groban going to a PTA meeting? Oh. Sandy. Right. I just need to keep reminding myself that this is Glee and therefore does not ever in any way need to abide by anything resembling logic or reason. Okay. I feel better now. Sort of.

That performance of Mercy was actually pretty awesome :) Rock on Adrenaline.

Emma has a ton of adorable coordinated outfits. I imagine the wardrobe department has fun with her.

Oh! Is it time for Puck to get screen time? And when does he turn into less of an asshole? Apparently not this episode if his cougar-chasing nipple ring has anything to say about it. Though he did say that he apparently beats people up less. Would we call that progress?

ARGH! COACH KEN! TMI alert with your STUDENT!

Awww, poor Finn and his dance attempts.

I recognize that if I hadn't seen episodes from the end of season two I would probably not bother even trying to like Puck at this point, but since I have the benefit of watching out of order, I do find him a little bit hilariously awesome.
Will: You guys play baseball, right? What does your coach tell you about hitting?
Puck: You charge the pitcher, bring the bat.

OMG MERCEDES JUST BROKE KURT'S WINDSHIELD! That's cold. Very, very cold. And I find it hilarious that most of the Cheerios were in the chastity club last episode and then they do this little dance number. And Kurt is wearing a bow tie. I dunno, I just don't think he pulls it off as well as The Doctor. *shrug*

Did they seriously raise 8-18k with a car wash? Seriously? Was there a Cheerio-induced happy ending involved with each wash?

This Dakota Stanley fellow is sleazy and nasty and despicable. But not for long! Aww, yay! Now I have a reason to like Rachel :) You go girl, rise up against the oppressive Dakota regime! Though, having seen Born This Way, I don't love the writing/internal inconsistency of Rachel acknowledging the awesomeness that is Barbra Streisand here and then easily throwing it away and needing Kurt to be the one to bring her back around a season and a half from now.

Yay! Time for Josh! Awww, cute as a buttermilk biscuit indeed. And really comes across as geektastic too. Anyone else notice that? ETA: AHHHHHHH! UP UNTIL HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO BE A FUTURE PUCK WHO TALKS ABOUT HIMSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON! AHHHHHHH! AND THE LIP-LICKING *cowers*

Did they really sing ″I Wanna Sex You Up″ to the PTA? And since when do people have to serve restraining orders to their own stalkers? That would seem to work against the purpose, in fact. Will's horrified expression closely mirrored my own, I suspect.

Why does the Josh Groban thing apparently mean the Acafellas are over? Am I missing something?

Awww, Kurt chose Mercedes to be the the first person he told? Other than the pining and lying and windshield-smashing they are adorable! Though I think that her idea of telling the kids in Glee, especially considering that Glee is currently infiltrated with Cheerios, is perhaps not one of her best.

That look on Will's face after the practice-choreography number when he was waiting to hear what Rachel had to say? That look is the look on a number of my professors' faces when faced with ″that girl″ in my college classes who made it her mission to stump the teachers with a random and pointlessly complex question at least once per class. It was her mission. The rest of us just wanted her to shut the hell up so we could move on and maybe end class a few minutes early. Just noticing.
