bluegeekFast Forward Count: 0! (Am I becoming immune or is the show improving?)
Battling voiceovers! I'd say Sue won. Jane Lynch is amazing. Also, their we're-totally-getting-along-fine smiles they put on for Principal Figgins are rather terrifying.
Hee, support your girl, Kurt. I love the Kurt & Mercedes spirit fingers version of a high-five.
So... the Cheerios are still spying for Sue? Even though Quinn already admitted that she actually likes Glee? What? Does Quinn not get that Sue will probably drop her like a hot potato as soon as the pregnancy is obvious? (or other, far more creepy ″solutions″ that she might come up with)
″Hugging it out?″ I think Figgins needs to replace his leadership seminar with a sexual harassment and sensitivity one.
How far along is Quinn supposed to be, anyways? And they are already able to tell the baby's sex via ultrasound? And why are they doing an ultrasound anyways? Aside from an early dating ultrasound where it is too early to determine sex, often the next one will be the ~18-20 week anatomy check, and she doesn't look 18 weeks pregnant yet. And the doctor didn't even ask if they wanted to know the baby's sex, she just out and told them. Hmmmm. (ETA: So Will answered my earlier question as to Quinn's dates. That was apparently the 10 week ultrasound. So, I'm curious – since when is there a scheduled 10 week ultrasound in an otherwise normal pregnancy? Is there any reason to think that Quinn's pregnancy wasn't normal? And since when can you tell the sex of the baby at 10 weeks with an ultrasound? Dude, I call shenanigans.)
Ooooh, sly Sue is up to something, isn't she? Oh, I see, she is pandering. Admittedly she's pandering to the kids who are being rather ignored by the club anyways, so there is a point to be made there. But from Sue it is clearly scheming rather than righting wrongs or doing a genuinely good deed. Interestingly, however, she did bother to learn their names.
OMG, Terri, do not listen to your boozy annoying sister. Also, the only vaccination Quinn is likely going to be offered in the hospital is the Hep B one, DPT isn't until the 2 months set if you vax according to the typical schedule.
That reporter kid is a real pain in the ass lech, isn't he?
I do not know how this show gets away with its outrageous behavior, but it is hilarious in entirely inappropriate ways.
Each episode is a new adventure into the realm of Kurt's fashion sense, isn't it? And the bow tie is back. I'm still preferring the Doctor in the bow tie department, Kurt. Sorry.
What do you have against curly hair, Sue? Not cool, Sylvester. Not. Cool.
Oooooh. The glove has been thrown down by Sue and picked up by Will. He flunked Sue's Cheerios to keep them off her team. I expect nuclear winter by the end of the episode.
Quinn's parents will burn her if they find out? Shouldn't that be when they find out? How long do you think you can hide this, Quinn? And Finn? You are an idiot. Mentioning Rachel to Quinn right now (or probably ever)? Not good.
So Will's kids are singing Jordin Sparks' ″No Air.″ Rachel, of course, loves this song. I imagine she loves any song that she is chosen to sing lead on. They start jamming and the reverb is instantly annoying the hell out of me. Then we move to a shot of Finn and Rachel practicing in the hallway while apparently a breeze has kicked up indoors and is blowing Rachel's hair all over the place. Okay. And now they are getting handsy with each other right in front of Quinn. She is going to castrate Finn. I wonder if that'll make it by the censors.
Wait, so Terri stores her fake pregnancy padding right there in the drawer? And doesn't bother to wear it all the time? What if Will were to come home early one day after Sue set the school on fire in revenge or something? Busted, Terri. This is why you commit fully to your cockamamie schemes. And now you have to come up with a fake doctor to cover for your ass, dearie. I'm sure you'll manage.
Okay, so while I initially found Will's loss of temper and decision to tell Sue the truth a bit of a relief, that feeling quickly morphed into impatience and frustration. They are behaving like imbeciles right in from of the glee club, students that they supposedly are supposed to be teaching, leading, and mentoring. Great job, idiots.
Oh Rachel, teaching the others how to perform a proper flounce? They're teenagers. I suspect they can all figure it out on their own, but nice offer anyways. Awww, and the jocks are carrying Artie's wheelchair so he can effectively join the flounce.
Fake ultrasound time! And I have to say: Matthew Morrison (aren't you glad I'm finally getting off my ass to look these names up?) really got me there with the single tear and the facial expression of awe. Even my neglected ovaries did a little squirm there.
Sue is perhaps even scarier when she is pretending to be serious and reasonable. She also took the news of Quinn's pregnancy rather better than I'd though she would. Oh, right. Because she's responsible for the dissemination of that information. She actually looked hurt that Quinn didn't go to her for support. If by ″support″ she were perhaps looking for humiliation and public shunning. Oh, and you should probably have a little sit-down with your parents, Quinn, so that at the very least they can here the news of their impending grandparenthood from you rather than Ohio's gossip-mongers.
Ooooh, ″Keep Holding On″ by, I think, Avril Lavigne? Hmmm, Finn's voice here is deeply annoying. Why is that? It's like he's affecting some kinda of weird tone. And wow. Quinn is actually making me get a bit emotional. *sniffle*
