Glee: Slushie Wars, Zoot Suits and Mash-ups
So this Glee was fraught with anger, wasn't it? From the very beginning (the walk-by slushy ambush) to Ken wigging out on the football team to Finn tackling fellow teammates, the cast was getting out some very intense emotion.Speaking of getting out emotion, Puck singing Sweet Caroline was... interesting. Naturally Puck's instrument of choice is a guitar, but his Mohawk and Neil Diamond don't exactly mesh. Have you seen Neil's feathered, flowing locks? Baby steps, Puck. Baby steps.
Weird mash-up aside, Puck's voice was great and his scenes with Rachel and his family were classic, especially his sister screaming at Schindler's List. Clearly Puck just wanted to get into Rachel's pants (apparently god wants that, too), but telling her that they were never really friends when she gives him the shake off was a little harsh. But then again, that was far less of a curve ball than the guitar ballad/sing-along.
Finn's moment of weakness was also a bit of a blow -- if he can be strong for Quinn and already got the ball rolling with Glee from the first episode, why was it so hard to do it again? This is just a reminder of how much it can suck to be a high school kid. Have fun with that angst, kid. It's a blast.
Other points to note:
-We've always known Emma was a little neurotic, but when she showed up in the Princess Di wedding gown she looked off-the-charts Loony Tunes. However, dress number two was stunning and perfectly in sync with her style. She also basically got to live out every girl's fantasy: being Audrey Hepburn, dancing and singing with your true love, while wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. Make-believe can be fun, but it's time to rejoin the world, Emma.
- The concept of Sue on a romantic date and being smitten is about as nonsensical as a Whoville Who not singing on Christmas. However, at least she was consistent, wearing her track suit on the date. Did we honestly expect her to wear something feminine?
No we did not. And even if we did, the zoot suit set us straight.
- Kurt continues to be as incredible as ever. Standing up to Finn (for Finn?) telling him to throw that slushy was positively heroic. He must have been descended from Viking warriors. Viking warriors with a flair for accessories, but still.
