Any Gleeks?

[Karen]

Any fellow Glee fans out there?

What did you think of last night's episode?

It's getting lots of praise online, but I thought it had some flaws, anyone wanna talk about it?

And yes, I was in chorus in high school, we didn't have a "glee club" but chorus did the musicals as well as everything standard. And I was in band, too.

I didn't see it!

I bought a T-shirt on Cafepress that says "Band Geek" in big letters. I was an extreme band nerd both in high school and college.

I watched it. I became a fan last year after the season was over, so I've spent the summer getting caught up.

I was disappointed with the premiere. It didn't feel eventful enough - like that I felt like I wanted to keep watching. I hope that they keep Sunshine.. she's AMAZING!

What did you think, Karen?

I love Glee, but I'm currently without cable and no time to watch things on the computer I do rock out to my Glee CDs on car trips though!

I do think all the singing was well-performed, but think that it is stretching it a bit to think absolutely no new people would show up for Glee, there's a whole new class of freshmen at the school, so shouldn't there at least be a few unafraid geeks, especially given the number of girls lined up to try out for cheerleading?

Also, with Rachel's big solo, it seemed a bad choice - because it is hard to believe her character did what she did out of love for anyone but herself ... so "What I Did For Love" seems wrong ...

I can't STAND that show.
April watches it, and I go sit elsewhere.
What is with that girl with the real dark eyebrows ??? She needs to shave.

Karen, I heard on the news that this week's "Glee" was watched by over 13 million people. Once again I missed it and forgot to record it. I just found out that Jane Lynch is from Chicago

[Karen]

That's why I love my DVR - we just set it to record a show and it never forgets! This week's show seemed a little odd, like it was a Britney Spears show, a little forced, but at least some character development was moved along ...

[Nomilynn]

Rachel makes an AWFUL Britney! I was so disappointed in her performance. I loved her singing the Paramour song though.. beautiful!

It was also a bit much having Artie do a Britney solo.. weird.

It was nice to see Will perform, but the whole thing was really creepy with how he performed with the students!

I am a Gleek and proud of it.
I love the guy who plays Finn. He's about 3 years older than me in real life.

Well you know only the real Brittany Spears can play herself well. Lea Michelle who plays Rachel is a good actress and singer. I think she pulled it off pretty well. I think she can pull off anything. She has amazing talent!!
The girl who played Sunshine last week was really good, too bad they only gave her a few parts. Maybe she will be on in the future. Did anyone recognize John Stamos who plays Carl? He is a hottie way too old for me but he played "Jesse" in Full House.

What did you all think of last night's episode? I do think it was the best of the season so far, and I had tears in my eyes several times. It could have been pretty cheesy, but I thought they handled the whole topic extremely well.

I won't say anything else about specifics in case others have recorded it but haven't watched it yet, but I thought even the song choices were extremely appropriate, and even the scene with Mercedes' church was great, and that's usually not done very well.
