Glee – “Britney/Brittany”

“Britney/Brittany” September 28th, 2010 A week after opening with an unquestionably meta opening, Ryan Murphy did not stray far from that example with “Britney/Brittany”: in the opening scenes, Will expresses how he wants New Directions to know when to show … Continue reading →

Season Premiere: Glee – “Audition”

“Audition” September 21st, 2010 I want you to imagine that “Audition” was, in fact, an audition for Glee as a television series: if this were the show’s pilot, what show would you imagine it to be? The series’ actual pilot, … Continue reading →

Glee – “Theatricality”

“Theatricality” May 25th, 2010 Glee is a show that needs to know the limitations of its own premise, something that I don’t know if Ryan Murphy is all that interested in. I think he’s concerned that if he limits the … Continue reading →
