Fox Source http://blogs.trb.com/network/foxfix/ The ultimate unofficial source for Fox news and gossip! en Copyright 2010 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 09:09:24 -0600 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.1 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Glee: Life's a journey... Journey5.jpgThe first season of Glee is finally done. The last song was sung, the last tear was shed, the last Sueism was uttered... until next season. In ways it was very predictable. Of course Sue would be the judge, of course Quinn would go into labor and of course they wouldn't win, but Glee club wouldn't be over.

But enough about how smart we are, lets talk some Glee!

The Gleeks' Glee has collectively faltered and Jesse has outed himself as a Vocal Adrenaline automaton in ill-fitting New Directions clothing. What we weren't waiting for was Will's squirm-inducing use of the term "hump day," Quinn's number with the Unwed Mothership Connection and Sue's Abraham Lincoln diatribe, though all of them did make us squeal.

A lot of plot points and characters were covered, but this episode was much more accessible and tightly-spun than last week. Perhaps because feeling like you're in a funk -- and funk music in general -- is more accessible than "theatricality." After all, everyone gets James Brown, but not everyone understands Lady Gaga's crawdad headpiece.

But dressing like Gaga and belting out Barbra Streisand weren't the only manifestations of the plot device. We got to witness the limits of some of our characters in rather unsavory ways, along with their capacity for growth.

Needless to say, there was a lot of plot development, so let's get right down to it.

Frankly, we were expecting someone flashier and slightly more sadistic (basically, Sue Sylvester), but this character did a lot more for the emotional development of this week's lead characters. Plus, NPH really does play the bitter card well.

We followed three dreamers around this week; Bryan, Rachel and Artie. Turns out Bryan used to be Will Schuester's idol/tormentor in glee club, rife with talent and the ladies' attentions. And one kick-ass mullet. However, when the Broadway dream led straight back to Lima and a crack pipe, the bitter juice started to flow. It doesn't help that Ryan is in town to help Principal Figgins whittle down the budget, since he puts Glee club on the chopping block. It's Will's job to lead him back to the light.

Read on for more dashed dreams and dastardly deeds!

But this is first time her pipes have not been up to par. And we actually couldn't be more pleased, because the rest of the club picked up the slack magnificently. Everyone seemed to be singing in exactly their range and best genre, as Schue's assignment dictated, and when they didn't it even worked to their advantage, thereby making Kurt's "Pink Houses" the campiest number he's done to date.

Turns out they're mostly the brainchildren of Ryan Murphy, who says the tunes are mainly just songs he would sing in his car. Watch our interview below with Mr. Murphy, who gives us some more insight into the upcoming music of Glee.

Well, Glee fans, we explored yet another high school hang-up this week with the McKinley highers: humiliation. True, this emotion is age-neutral, but for many reasons, embarrassing social snafus and high school just go hand-in-hand. Both are painful and occasionally scarring. Kind of like Rachel's David Geddes video. But we'll get into that.

Actually, it was more like a charging semi slamming into a lake, but at least they had Kristin Chenoweth, the obstacles of coming-of-age and some serious plot development to back it up.

We got to explore the more emotions and issues high school students navigate every day and we saw a lot of the characters outside of their comfort zone. Mercedes was made to feel inadequate as a Cheerio, Kurt's relationship with his father was badly shaken and Sue didn't feel the need to say exactly what was on her mind for the first time ever. Let's discuss...

Broadway star Jonathan Groff tells us what it's like to join such a tight-knit cast, explains why Jesse may be Rachel's perfect match, and talks about the music he gets to perform:
 
Then Jessalyn Glisig gives us the scoop on Terri -- why she's so horrible to Emma, whether we can expect to hear her pipes, and what Terri's theme song would be:

"They want us to sing her songs? She's got the personal empowerment levels of a hamster."

Apparently Madonnabe Britney Spears wants to follow in Madge's network TV footsteps by having her own Glee episode. The singer's agent Adam Leber started trending the idea on Twitter, hoping to garner some fan support.

We're wondering if Mr. Leber actually watched the "Power of Madonna" episode. If he had, he might have noticed that Ms. Spears is not exactly Glee material, as pointed out by Jayma Mays' character, Emma Pilsbury. And the only characteristic she shares with the Material Girl is that they both have illegally flashed parts of their anatomy in public.

We're sorry, Britney, but you're just not the right fit. Try back after 15 years, eight more Grammys and a hell of a lot more self-respect.

It seems nearly every cast member got  a chance to flex the golden pipes and the results were stunning. No seriously, we're never going to get that image of a be-curled and bustier-ed Sue Sylvester out of our heads. And we LOVE IT.

We also found out that high school boys will do almost anything to get laid, including transferring schools and putting up with someone who regards you like a dysfunctional yet occasionally useful furnace.  

More Madge-ical details after the jump...

Was the kick-off episode of Glee really only 46 minutes? Because there was a lot crammed in there. We're currently on drama/sensory overload. And still cringing from the permanently pained expression on Rachel's face.

There was definitely a lot to cover after all the loose ends left when we last saw the Glee kids, and we're glad the show did it while still sliding in ample Sue-isms, two new superstar cast members and AC/DC.

"Up high, my man! We're coming to Chicago!"

For those of you who live near the Windy City -- or are willing to travel -- we have good news: The cast members of Glee are coming to Chicago to visit The Oprah Winfrey show.

The April 7 show will be completely dedicated to Glee, featuring an interview with genius creator/producer/director Ryan Murphy and a performance by the cast.

If you live in the area and are feeling reaaallllllyyy lucky, you can sign up for Oprah's ticket lottery. Who knows, if you get in she might be giving away Tiffany's lockets with Corey Monteith's picture inside. After all, The Oprah Winfrey Show is where dreams come true.

"We're doing an episode as a tribute to theatricality," says Murphy. "We reached out to Lady GaGa and she said, 'Yes, I'd love to be a part of it.'"

It seems the sky is the limit with wrangling guest stars for Glee. Other confirmed guests include Olivia Newton-John and Neil Patrick Harris.

We can't wait to hear who else is in for the ride this season; Elton John? Barbara Streisand? The ghost of Gene Kelly? We're giddy with antici...
