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 – “Furt”

“Furt” November 23rd, 2010 In what was generally considered to be the “end” of the series’ bullying arc, Glee becomes self-aware. Its characters realize that they are in an after school special about bullying, and that they need to do … Continue reading →

Glee – “The Rocky Horror Glee Show”

“The Rocky Horror Glee Show” October 26th, 2010 The test of an episode so heavily based around a specific musical property is how it is integrated into the series as a whole. While Rocky Horror superfans are likely to judge … Continue reading →

Glee – “Duets”

“Duets” October 12th, 2010 I’ve talked a lot about the “Three Glees” theory in the past (TM Todd VanDerWerff), where each of the three co-creators have a different perspective on the series. However, in most instances we focus on the … Continue reading →

Glee – “Grilled Cheesus”

“Grilled Cheesus” October 5th, 2010 If you ever needed proof of a higher power, take the fact that “Grilled Cheesus” more or less works. While problematic in a number of areas, there is an emotional core to this spirituality-themed episode … Continue reading →

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 – “Funk”
