Glee – “Rumours”

“Rumours” May 3rd, 2011 “Tell me why everything turned around?” “Rumours” never pretends that it isn’t an episode built around the songs from the Fleetwood Mac album of the same name: heck, early on Will pulls out the LP with … Continue reading →

Glee – “Comeback”

“Comeback” February 15th, 2011 There is nothing wrong with Justin Bieber. Maybe it’s just my Canadian pride, but the kid is inoffensive to the point of being sort of charming. Especially recently, given his playful send-ups of his celebrity on … Continue reading →

Glee – “A Very Glee Christmas”

“A Very Glee Christmas” December 7th, 2010 Generally speaking, the most difficult question for Glee to answer is “Why?” So many of its stories seem to have no connection with ongoing events that if you keep asking why precisely it’s … Continue reading →

Glee – “Special Education”

“Special Education” November 30th, 2010 The performance episodes of Glee have been pretty universally strong: both “Sectionals” and “Journey” avoided relying purely on spectacle, delivering episodes which consolidate season-long developments.

Glee – “Never Been Kissed”

“Never Been Kissed” November 9th, 2010 Hype is Glee’s currency of choice, for reasons that make a lot of sense: they want to sell downloads, they want to trend on Twitter, and so I understand why they released the full … Continue reading →
