   Matthew Morrison is, in fact, recording a record and did invoke the name “Buble” to describe it. But I like Morrison’s voice better.

   But instead of Suinn, I think they should be Quam because it sounds like and olde timey expectorant and I know I generally hack whenever I see them. But that’s probably my issue with the inconsistency with the way they’re writing Quinn and how quickly she’s forgotten the “torment” of last year and become a stone bitch. What happened to her bestie friendship with Mercedes who let Quinn live with her family and HAD to be in the delivery room?

   Anyway, I thought the Sue marries herself storyline was too much, even for Sue Sylvester. She is delusional, mean and blindly ambitious, but she’s not stupid. Like with her trying to disband the football team it just doesn’t make sense. Why would she try to humiliate herself by staging a wedding that emphasizes that she’s alone?

   “. . . Santana suggests he should tell everyone they slept together so he can seem cooler.”

   Please. Anyone who loses their virginity to the village bicycle is the farthest thing from cool. The first thing Santana says after each of her sexual encounters is “NEXT!”

   The bully scenes were scary, I couldn’t tell where they were going, but it was good to see them finally step up. Finn did step up in the Gaga episode, wearing the dress, but I guess that wasn’t good enough. Just wanted to point out how great the actor Max Adler is doing being Karofsky, his conflicted feelings abound.

   I didn’t buy that he got to lie and deny the whole thing without any kind of, “Son, what’s your problem with Kurt, is it because he’s gay?” could have done a lot for moving the story in a positive direction, but that’s not what they are up too. It’s not covered, but Sue directly asks Kurt what he’s not supposed to tell them. Karofsky looks over, scared as shit, Kurt fumbles some lame excuse, and I can’t believe no one dug deeper. I would have liked to see the Dad’s reaction if he found about the kiss. I also think it should have been stated that beating up on the gay guy does not make you look stronger, or cooler, or straighter for that matter. Perhaps he may have agreed to stop . . . but we all know the reason for all this is so Kurt can transfer. I’m happy for his character, but not for the show–wont this split it up all the more. Maybe they should spin off and split the cast. I do like sway, but Shue, I like less and less. And frankly, would it be so hard to adopt an anti-bullying policy in all schools . . . ?

   But, anyhoo, oh how I cried like a little bitch!!! My God!!!! Boody-hoo-hoo!!! Acts of kindness kill me always, but singing “you’re amazing, just the way you are” directly to Kurt was so hard to witness. Some are offended that he kept singing “girl” but since he directed the song to his mom and Rachel, it didn’t bother me. Note to the writers: a simple “coz you’re” instead of “girl you’re” could have fit seamlessly . . . just sayin’ ( I honestly wish more artists and song writers would keep this in mind, and be a little less gender specific. Would be easier for fans of the song to sing along whoever they are–I know, it’s me!

   Can’t wait to see what the boy’s a cappella number is-how can they lose to Nude Erections, who have been all over the place musically this season.

   It was a waste of Carol . . . should have saved her for when they had a little something more in mind. Hated the over emphasis on “Nazi Killer” wasn’t funny the first time. And what do you all think of the “lady” thing!? It wasn’t offending me, as it seemed she used it to embrace his more feminine qualities in an accepting way, but changing it to porcelain-Lame! I would have preferred a more gay friendly answer, and an offer to stop if he liked. Anyone?

   My favorite part of this episode was Santana’s reaction when Rachel realized and stated that Kurt would now be competing against them at Regionals. She just gave a subtle-ish look and an almost “oh no you di’nt” with her hand. Rachel, who was so concerned about Kurt in the beginning of the episode is now not concerned with his comfort or safety because it may interfere with their winning. I don’t like her anymore.

   I think the scene with Carol Burnett was a great tribute to her career, it was reminiscent of her type of comedy from back in the day. And it was a great tie-in to explain Sue’s mindset; she even said herself that bullies are usually being bullied by someone else. Her mom bullied her & made her feel horrible, so she has become a bully. I think showing her potential redemptive qualities keeps her from going too Arofsky on us while still being one of the best characters on TV ever.

   Jess-I think Santana is jealous & wants to up her status by being affiliated with Finn. Brittney is settling down with Artie, Quinn has the new BMOC, & she has the juvie delinquent.

   Birsch & juddfan-I was a mess too at the Furt scene! Try watching the show while on a treadmill-it’s hard to breathe during those scenes!

   Considering how horrible Kurt has always been to Rachel and how many times she’s tried to befriend him, and still was concerned about him earlier in the episode, one moment of her realizing he was leaving for a rival school doesn’t diminish her in my book.

   I do question the writers and their disdain for ambitious women, though. Rachel is treated like a monster but her worst trait is her ambition. Most of the other kids in glee are just as awful in their own way but she’s the only one who constantly gets pilloried for her flaws, because her flaw is…high self esteem and the narcissism needed to become a star?

   giffordsaz, Thanks so much for thinking of me, but I’m guessing that’s the finale song, which I know they have been teasing for the last few shows, so I’m a gonna wait–I have a good system of suspending logic and disbelief to maximize surprise as much as possible when viewing things, which also helps me be in the moment. Maybe a big reason this show can have such an impact on me. I have to say, tho I was not bold, fashionable or out of the closet in high school, part of me so identifies with Kurt, so I’m extra vulnerable . . . .just a theory.

   I hope the writers sit down for next season and think about all the arcs they want to develop, and then weave it all together, star turns or not. It would be so much better to eliminate things like Sue’s marriage to herself etc in place of cohesive story telling. They’ve got such a huge cast, and many guest stars, and kids and teachers and parents . . . it’s a glut! There are clever ways to work many things in, as they prove from time to time, but having each season visit one character with one epi and then drop it cold . . . could be better, IMHO. I notice when they show the : Here’s what you missed, at the beginning, they include things from the last season, or weeks and weeks ago, coz it hasn’t been mentioned since that point. I certainly don’t envy them.

   And, is it me, or does Sue seem like a natural choice for a lesbian–I believe the actress is gay, and she is awesome, blanking on her name–loved her on the L-list (yes, my little gay self watched my sistahs doin’ it)

   Also, Rachel has two gay fathers . . wouldn’t Kurt want to meet them? Wouldn’t she want Kurt to meet them, talk about it get’s better. The show is so glutted with characters they can’t even go there, so again, crossing my fingers . . .

    juddfan-I think they also said Rachel’s father’s are lawyers-I would think they could help out in this situation? I am curious as to when we’ll meet them, as we’ve met other parents already. Maybe they figured since she had the whole meeting-her-birth-mother story line last year they didn’t want to push it. Although I don’t know why they didn’t introduce them then, since it would have made sense.

    And yup, Jane Lynch (Sue) is gay & recently had a great interview published (forget which mag) where she talked about her battles with booze, & how she recently met the love of her life-basically she’s just awesome.

    The two actors playing her dads were in a few crowd scenes in the first season. They are campaigning on FaceBook to become part of the cast, or be seen on the show. It would have made perfect sense for Rachel to talk to her dad’s about the “mom” thing . . . seriously . . . and if they want her to be the “star” I’d rather personalize her than have her be unlikable, as she was in the beginning with the “new” kid who never came back. (another needless dead end–c’mon Murphy . . . cut out all the extraneous stuff and focus on what’s good . . . please)

    Lastly, Kurt transferring is just running from the situation, like Blaine told him he shouldn’t do . . . I hope at the minimum, the Bully contacts Kurt to apologize . . . we’ll see, on tonight’s Glee!

    Tvaholic, also love how great and natural Jane Lynch looks. In this day of plastic surgery and over plumped everything, she’s a real beauty with intelligence and sass–Love her!!!

    Maybe they should spin off Kurt and family–would love to see more of Kurt’s dad too! There are so many worse family oriented shows out there. And they could cross over with Glee through Finn. They could even make the bully transfer to the school and go deep on the whole subject. (Why god, why–why can’t the world do what I want!-ha!)

    Santana does seem to have a high opinion of herself, but she has always seemed slutty to me, sleeping with anybody who asks or shows interest. Sounds like she wants to elevate her status by snaring Finn instead of continuing having meaningless sex with Puck. Brittany also was depicted as sleeping around, but I see her following Santana’s example more than anything else; Santana has a strong influence on her because Brittany, not being very bright, is easily led along, and because she’s also in love with Santana. I see Santana as a user of people. She is mean like Rachel, but in a different way. Rachel is mean because of her blind ambition, but at least we see her softer side from time to time. I have yet so see Santana’s softer side; she is a harden character. I wonder about her backstory and why she is the way she is. We’re seeing a glimpse of why Sue Sylvester is the way she is. It’d be interesting to find out why Santana is the cruel, sexually promiscuous user that she is.
