This was all right, but far from one of their best episodes. It seemed as though they were killing time until the final two episodes. <br /><br />Following on from my previous comment, if the kids are so important to Will that he won't leave them to follow his own dream, why wasn't he at prom supporting their performances? Glaring absence.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454170781697615407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-72498913857447955132011-05-17T06:29:30.319-04:002011-05-17T06:29:30.319-04:00^I concur.

On the other hand, the episode was pretty good - and Harry got it down nicely I believe :)<br /><br />Didn't expect Jesse to pop up. He's just as interesting to watch as he did last season, and if he's staying for awhile I don't mind. Honestly speaking his duets with Rachel are the best. When he just walked right into 'Rolling in the Deep' it just went extremely well. Brilliant duet. (And Harry's so right about the AV Club - that was a pretty impressive backup)<br /><br />Nice focus on Kurt too. But Glee's lost a lot of its...I don't know, magic? I think it's partly the plot/characters and partly the music. Call me weird but does anyone think that New Directions have had almost no iconic new hits this season, while the Warblers have had all the great showstoppers?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171152477267754603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-59888035110616468812011-05-16T13:14:28.897-04:002011-05-16T13:14:28.897-04:00Good review, Harry. I liked this episode too. I do...Good review, Harry. I liked this episode too. I don't mind some characters taking their sweet time to come out of the closet. The people I know who went through that took years before deciding to come out, so I would actually feel cheated if that wasn't represented.<br /><br />My favourite bit, though, was Sue giving up her torture plans without any hard feelings immediately upon learning of Artie's innocence. Sue is best when she's played as a bad person but good educator.<br /> <br />I also really liked Quinn apologizing as soon as she slapped Rachel. It shows how severely messed up she is and how hard she's trying to be a better person. Rachel not making a big deal out of it, showing empathy when she shouldn't have to, is the kindest and most generous she's been all season too.<br /><br />As an aside, I made $200 off this episode. I was afraid I'd lose money when Tina had her weekly scene and no one said anything disparaging about Asians, but then Jesse had his line about figuring that the school would just send an Asian to do his work for him or something (because, you know, we're slaves).<br /><br />I know, I know. I'm sounding like a broken record. I'll stop now. Like every one else, I'm ecstatic about Kurt taking center stage this season.Dimitri A.C.

Quinn losing Prom Queen is not Rachel's fault. She should be mad that the rest of the school was trying to make fun of Kurt for being gay and voting him for Queen instead of her. I thought it was really weird that Quinn apologized right after slapping Rachel. Considering all of the angst she's had towards Rachel since the pilot of "glee", I thought she would yell at her some more. And finally, I loved that Brittany not only comforted Santana but also told her to go comfort Kurt because this would be harder on him. Good job RIB for giving Brittany a good plot this season!Marissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52282917115239599152011-05-15T18:29:18.566-04:002011-05-15T18:29:18.566-04:00I'm going to give this episode Four out of Fou...I'm going to give this episode Four out of Four Chicken Homes :) <br />I looooved this episode! I can't think of a single thing I didn't love. I completely understand the disappointment that no one came out but like Billie said, they're probably saving that for the finale so it will be more dramatic. I really liked all of the songs done at prom. Even thought I despise "Friday", the boys' voices made it sound awesome! "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You" I also kind of liked. It wasn't the best song Blaine has ever done but I liked that he stepped out of his comfort zone and sang a song as lead at a school where no one knows him...very brave, Blaine Warbler! Speaking of, I love that Kurt calls him Blaine Warbler, too cute! I was very pleased to get my dose of Finchel this week as well! It was very obvious that Finn feels really sorry for what he did to Rachel and when he couldn't take his eyes off of her during "Jar Of Hearts" it made that quite clear. I think it's adorable when they stare at each other during songs even though I always yell at my tv saying "JUST KISS ALREADY!" You can tell Finn doesn't particularly like Quinn and is just waiting for prom to end. I disagree with one of the comments though, it did look like Finn punched Jessie. I could be wrong, but it looked like he hit him. On the topic of Mr. Jon Groff, I LOVE HIM. As much of a Finchel supporter I am, I love when him and Lea sing together. Their voices are beautiful and they have such a chemistry on screen. I thought Rachel's reactions/facial expressions during their first scene were perfect for what was happening. Oh, one thing I did not like was how after Finn/Jessie got kicked out, they never revisited what happened to them afterwards. I was expecting another fight in the parking lot or something but I got nothing. On the subject of Kurt, I felt terrible when he was voted Queen but I was really proud that he went back in to show he wasn't afraid. When he just said "Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton" I was thrilled that the school was so supportive of him. I also felt really bad for Karofsky. He seems genuinely sorry for what he did and he's now coming to terms with the affects of tormenting someone. All in all, this episode got me PUMPED for my prom which was just last night so good job, glee! :) <br />p.s. When Kurt talked about how Kate Middleton's dress was designed by Alexander McQueen, did anyone else realize that the Royal Wedding was only two weeks before this episode aired? I'm assuming the writers of "Glee" had to go back and write that scene after the wedding because no one knew who designed Kate's dress until she stepped out of her car on her wedding day. Just a random thing I thought of! Can't wait til next week's episode "Funeral"! Only two more left :(Marissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-25382954026894570572011-05-15T15:54:20.118-04:002011-05-15T15:54:20.118-04:00Finn DID NOT punch Jesse.

Definitely gonna have to watch that again. <br /><br />CrazyCris, a friend of mine (hi Erick) told me once that he thought Season One was Rachel's season and Season Two has been Kurt's.

Prom Queen was a happy step in the right direction, I'm now looking forward to the final episodes.<br /><br />Karofsky's tear filled apology really got to me, I may be able to like him after all. I think Kurt's suggestion for him to come out had to do with Karofsky accepting to dance with him. That would have done the job without him having to say anything.<br /><br />Artie's hair was very La Roux and Sam needs a haircut.<br /><br />My one complaint was their decision to use "Friday". I mean really, "Friday", Youtube joke Rebecca Black. Please to only use actual music, afores I end you. END YOU!Felipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367104341598394064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23996917807442470102011-05-14T14:07:54.379-04:002011-05-14T14:07:54.379-04:00Harry, I am sad to report that spray-on fake butte...Harry, I am sad to report that spray-on fake butter actually does exist. <br /><br />Nice review, and I agree. This was Kurt's episode, and he was great; he's come a long way. Artie has never done much for me. And I was disappointed that no one came out. Maybe they're saving it for the finale.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
