Glee: Bad Reputation

I took a small hiatus from blogging in May -- mainly unplanned.  BUT, here I am again, attempting to be consistent.  Lots to update you on, including all of my thoughts on Glee.  As June 8th is the Season 1 Finale, I thought I would do a countdown of sorts, where I recap and give my thoughts on some of the episodes I have missed.  Are we ready?

Up first, Episode 17: Bad Reputation.

A Glist surfaces -- a list of the Glee members with the worst reputations.  Will has to hunt down the conspirator or risk having the Glee Club shut down.  Puck is the prime suspect, but did he do it?

Sue gets a taste of her own medicine when some Glee members leak a rather embarrassing video of her.  Will she get redemption?

And on the musical side of things, we see some rather awesomely bad songs get re-vamped and re-done, Glee style.

Things I Love:

• The Puck and Rachel story line. I love Puck and  I am not afraid to admit it.  And so any thing that showcases him, well, I will typically be a fan.  Loved seeing them together, seeing their chemistry.  Also glad to see it fit well with the story line.
• Run Joey, Run video -- it was ridiculous.  Almost too ridiculous, but it was also hilarious.  Loved seeing Sandy Ryerson (the creepy teacher and previous Glee coach from the first half of the season) prance across the lawn -- good use of his character!
• Sue's sister!  Sue has a heart and when you bring in her sister you see it.  
• All of the dancing!  It was BRILLIANT!  Especially the "You Can't Touch This" scene.  Heather Morris (plays Brittany) can MOVE! 
• Quinn being the Glist maker.  We are getting to see how hard being pregnant and still homeless (we don't know who she is living with yet) are just hitting this once popular cheerleader very hard. 

Things I'm Not a Fan of:

• The Physical video.  I don't know why I didn't like it... I just didn't.  Maybe because it felt so forced in the story line?  I mean really -- Olive Newton John just happens to see it and wants to re-shoot?
• The ballet dance to "Total Eclipse of the Heart."  Like the song, normally like the dancing.  But this time is just didn't do it for me.  Maybe it is because I don't really see Lea Michele being much of dancer.  Sorry that wasn't nice -- but kind of true.

Favorite Lines:

• Artie: I'm kind of getting cold feet here.
  Brittany: Can you even feel your feet?
• Will: (about the Glist) Puck, seriously, did you do it?
  Puck: I said no! I'm a delinquent, sure. I like setting stuff on fire and beating up people I don't know. I own at. But I'm not a liar.
• Puck: I try to be a good guy. I go to school and I say, ‘Be cool, Puck. Be nice.’ But by second period I have a fire extinguisher in my hands and I’m spraying some dweeb with it and I don’t know how I got there.
• Emma: You're a slut, Will!"

Overall we are getting closer and closer to "old" Glee -- before it was a massive hit.  I am sure to be watching "Ice, Ice, Baby" and "You Can't Touch This" over and over again... in hopes to pick up some mad dance moves! ;-).

What did you enjoy?  What didn't your like?  Are you even a Glee fan?
