Glee - Lights Out

It seems like every time the New Directions try to prepare for regionals something gets in the way. This week it was a power outage. This prompts Will to make it acoustic week. 
We still don't know who is catfishing Ryder and he is determined to find out who it is. His reasoning: because he shared some deep dark secrets to her (or him); deep dark secrets that no one knows about, even his closest friends. Jake tells Ryder that he should share this secret with his friends and not some random unknown person on the internet. So Ryder decides to "unplug his feelings" to the group. He sings and we see that the glee club is still getting slushied. (Dang) After his song he shares that he was molested at a young age. Whoa  Glee taking on another serious issue. But, Sam and Artie didn't make matters any better when they start questioning why it's such a big deal, considering a woman committed the crime. What idiots. I'm pretty sure if Ryder was happy about the incident he wouldn't have kept it a secret from all his friends. Those guys are dopes and need some sense knocked into them. Since they didn't understand, Kitty takes Ryder out to eat to let him know she gets it and has her support. She also shares that the same thing happened to her when she was younger and she had to switch schools because of it!!! I was completely shocked at the point. I was not expecting this at all. I'm just speechless, but I will say that it's nice that Ryder has someone that really understands. 
In the mists of all that we finally see where Sue ended up. She is now a personal trainer and Blaine decided to visit her class. He goes down there to tell her that he knows something shady is going on surrounding her confession to the shooting and that he's going to find out what it was. Sue also visits the school, keeping an eye on her beloved Cheerios. Becky talks to her about how being a Cheerio is not the same with Sue not there and she ends up getting in trouble with Coach Roz on purpose so she can talk to the principal. We don't know what she said to him but we can guess that it was a confession; we just don't know what happened to her. Did she get suspended? Expelled? Is Sue going to come back? After this the power finally comes back on. 
Not much really happened in New York. We find out that Santana's not doing much with her life there and has become a cage dancer!! Kurt and Rachel try to knock some sense into her but it doesn't work. We do find out that Kurt is still working for SJP and he is working some ballet event and the girls attend and work it with him. This is when Santana decides to do more with her life and in the end we see her taking a dance class at NYADA. Most of the time we're in New York we see Rachel, Kurt, Santana and SJP singing some song about the ballet which, in my opinion, was too long. 
Overall this was a good episode; very heartbreaking at times. It was really nice to see the soft side of Santana and Kitty, especially. I liked how the group did "We Will Rock You" Stomp style, but I just can't deal with Jake dancing ballet. It's just really weird. Another weird thing was seeing Blaine workout in short shorts. I really have no words for that. Oh, and Kitty definitely likes Ryder whether she's catfishing him or not, she's crushing on him!! I just hope that Ryder gets over his catfisher. Lastly, I just have one question: why did the power go out??

Glee - Sweet Dreams

Glee is back, post-shooting and things seem to be a little different at McKinley. Some of the New Directions are acting pretty strange; Tina changed her style, Sam has created this "twin" named Evan, and Wade is trying to grow boobs by taking birth control pills!! But, the biggest change is with Will. For some reason he's gotten really mean. I don't know if it has to do with the shooting or his relationship with Finn but something is making him act like a jerk. He tries a second time to get the group ready for regionals and this time he knows the theme, which is dreams. So he picks out all these awful songs an won't take any suggestions, and then when the group goes behind his back he freaks out on them. Marley is determined to get him to  choose on of her original songs but he won't have it. So she goes behind his back and has some of the kids sing the song with her just to see how it sounds. My opinion of the song: the words were kind of corny but overall it was amazing. Of course Will is in the background for most of it and this is the moment when he realizes he needs to lighten up. 
Finn goes to college. Within minutes we see him in not one but TWO of those FAKE harlem shake things. That made me so mad. Then he discovers that Puck decided to move back to Ohio and hang out at that school. And yes I mean hang out like, he's not even enrolled there. They go buck wild!! Finn skips classes, they have water slides on the dorm hallway, and go to a frat party. Basically Finn is spiraling out of control. Will visits him to apologize and try to knock some sense into him but, at first, it doesn't work. It actually takes Puck to get Finn to come to his senses and Finn finds a way to go back to McKinley and get college credit for it. Thank God because one thing Glee got wrong was normal college dorm life. They really need to stick to high school. 
In other McKinley news Roz aka NeNe Leekes is back and has taken over the Cheerios. I love it. She is absolutely hilarious and I'm happy we'll see her more. She brings Blaine and Becky in to her office to make sure that they won't let what happen to Sue happen to her, and Becky gets a little too emotional. She is definitely going to get found out soon. 
At NYADA, Shelby is back!! Rachel's mom returns to help her out with her audition for Funny Girl and of course they sing a duet! "Next To Me" on Glee. I enjoyed it. I mean, I love that songs so to have it on Glee was great! Shelby comes back because she has some Braodway daycare business which makes me think we may be seeing more of her. Shelby tries to help Rachel choose a song but instead she turns to Finn.He is the one that puts the idea in her head to sing "Don't Stop Believin'". That is the only song I don't mind being re-used on this show. There was also a bit of a flashback while she was on stage with the original club members. I must say that Rachel and Finn are THAT couple on TV. You know, the couple that belongs together but aren't because every single obstacle possible gets in their way, but in the end they get together after, what seems like, a million years. At first I thought it was Will and Emma. Maybe it's both. I don't know, this is just a sidenote. Back to Rachel, she gets a callback; YAY!
Overall this episode was good. We're back to going back and forth from McKinley to New York. We don't know what Sue's doing but it looks like we'll find that out next week. And it looks like the glee club will be doing original songs at regionals. I'm not mad at them because that is one of the things that this show does well. We just have to see if it's enough to get them into Nationals.   

Glee - Shooting Star

Glee is back!! This entire episode takes place at McKinley High. So, it starts with the group getting ready for regionals. Brittany comes in to tell everyone that a meteor asteroid thing is headed for Earth and will kill them all. So Will takes advantage of this and make the theme of the week was last chance. Brittany uses this chance to tell her cat how much she loves him. Sam actually got the whole group together to help her sing a song to it. That's just a little too weird for me. Another weird confession: Coach Beiste likes Will. Super awkward and kind of ridiculous. Ryder also uses the theme to confront the girl who, he thinks, is catfishing him. He sings "Your Song" to this Katie girl only to realize that he's not singing to Katie at all. Someone used this girls picture to talk to Ryder and be anonymous. He goes on somewhat of a war path trying to find out who the real person is, blaming everyone from Kitty to Jake to Marley (who is probably incapable of doing anything of the sort). He even plans to officially meet this person. Yikes! Becky has a touching moment with Brittany, confessing that she is scared of the real world. I teared up, but the next thing I know the unthinkable happens. 
Gun shots! The glee club was meeting and next thing you know a gun goes off; twice. The next 10 or 15 minutes were the most intense moments of my TV watching life and that's saying a lot because I watch Scandal. The glee club locks themselves in the room and hides and waits. Everyone is crying and scared and no one knows what's going on. To make it worse Tina and Brittany aren't there. So, Sam goes nuts trying to leave the room to go find Brittany. Eventually will goes to find her and some other who hid in the bathroom. We also see that Tina got out of the school with the rest of the students. In these moments Kitty confessed to Marley about how she made her think she was getting fat and Ryder called his catfisher and surprisingly a phone in the room went off. Artie also took the time to film everyone saying their last words. After some time the all clear was given and they were allowed to leave. At this point I think I entered a state of shock. I was tearing up and shaking the entire time. I was really speechless after everything. I must say that all of the actors did an amazing job. 
Afterwards came some confusion. Sue confessed to shooting the gun!!! It really made no sense what so ever. Of all people it was Sue?! And she gets fired!! But we see that it was actually Becky who brought in the gun and accidentally shot it off. I wasn't too surprised at this. All she wanted to do was protect herself from this world that she's so very scared of. It was extremely sad. 
Overall, like I said before, this episode was intense. To comment a little on the controversy of it; I didn't think it was bad. As we see in the news, school shootings happen and this show tackles issues that happen in the real world. They tackled suicide and texting while driving so it's not really a a shock that they would tackle school shootings. Compared to another show that I've watched that tackled the same issue, this episode was a lot easier to watch. No one got hurt. It was a bad portrayal at all, and this was one of Glee's better episodes. I just want to know if Sue will return. What would the show be without her? I hope she still is seen. Also, Ryder never met the person and I wonder if he ever will. I kind of hope the person get revealed only because it's really going to bug me. Well, until next week.

The Game - Seaon 6 premiere

The Game is back for season 6 and it's a big one. They have reached 100 episodes. This is a huge accomplishment and congratulations are in order. YAY for 100 episodes. Now onto what happen in that 100th episode and what I think. 
I guess I'll start off with what I liked. First, they got rid of that dang laugh track, which I hate. Thank God. I also liked that Malik, Tasha and Tee Tee brought the laughs. They were the only people that made me laugh throughout the hour; which brings me to the things that I didn't like. 
Where was the comedy? The Game that I remember was always as funny as it was dramatic, but now it seems way more dramatic than funny, and to me that just makes it more like a soap opera. Another thing I didn't like was this Blue dude. First off, his last name is Westbrook which only makes me think of the Eagles. And second, he has a big head. He's already full of himself and he didn't even do anything yet! If he's supposed to be an annoying jerk then he's doing a great job. The other thing I didn't like was Derwin's storyline, but there was really nothing I could do about that. They had to have him leave and that's how they chose to do it. It was just so sad, especially when he was crying. It was real. And lastly (which is kind of silly), how dare they keep dangling Rick Fox in our faces, playing with my emotions! 
So what's my verdict: ehh. I'm still on the fence about watching this show, but I'm leaning towards not watching. I really don't understand how the show can go on when 2 of the main characters are gone. I know this is an ensemble show, but looking back to the pilot, Melanie was the one that brought us into this world and now she's gone. Yes, people get traded in football all the time but I wish there was a way that they could still be on the show with this trade happening. The only reason why I would watch is because of Tee Tee, Rick Fox and my love for football. I honesetly think I'll watch next week. Only because the first episode of a new season is never that amazing and it's just the beginning of a storyline. Nothing really happens yet, though I wish it did. But don't count on me giving them my rating week after week. I'll be resulting to DVR and online watching from now on. Viewers come and go, "but the game goes on." 

Now I'm going to go on a little rant.
I think it's pretty sad that this show is what it is now. I'm not the only one who feels this way; just look and Twitter (and even Instagram). So many people don't like it. And it's sad because this is a show created by Blacks with basically and all Black cast and sadly today we don't see enough of this on TV. All I want is for this show to succeed and I hate not supporting this show and seeing it go downhill. I guess all I can do now is hope for some miracle that will make the show good again. I'm done talking about this now. If you want to hear more leave comments and if you know me, see me in person; I'll be happy to discuss more of this with you. 

Glee - Guilty Pleasures

"Secrets, secrets are no fun unless you share with everyone." It's guilty pleasure week! I must be honest. For the first 10 minutes I just sat there, speechless, wondering what I was witnessing. I mean there was macaroni faces and 80's clothing. I was like what the heck! Oh and then there was that boyfriend arm thing!! I was beginning to think that this guilty pleasure idea was not good. I had enough of it. But that all changed thank to Kitty. Once she shared her guilty pleasure things got better. Her's was the Spice Girls! Now who doesn't love the Spice Girls? No one. All the girls (and Wade/Unique) shared the same feelings which prompted them to do a Spice Girls number; "Wannabee." And I'm pretty sure that performance made Kitty seem a little more attractive to Arty. He definitely likes her. Sharing guilty pleasures seemed like a good idea at first. Sam shared his love for Barry Manilow which was also shared by all the other guys (even Jake which is odd to me). The only person that got trouble for his guilty pleasure was Jake. At first he wanted to do a Chris Brown song but the girls, especially Marley, went crazy. I must admit that he did present a good case for his choice. Liking Chris Brown was obviously something that he didn't want to and shouldn't share with the group, and they do sing a lot of songs by people who aren't the best role models. I had to agree with him on that. But, sadly, he changed his mind and sang a Bobby Brown song; "My Prerogative." It got me up dancing and I thought it was great, but it wasn't. No one liked it because Bobby Brown allegedly got Whitney Houston hooked on drugs. This kid can't win. Marley was pissed again but, like always, they made up after about 5 seconds. I'm still mad he didn't sing Chris Brown. 
Oh yeah. Blaine finally confessed his love for Sam and they're still friends. 
As for the boyfriend arm, that's Kurt's guilty pleasure. I rather not speak much more on that because it's just too weird. So, Santana is still living with Rachel and Kurt but now she has to play rent ('bout time!"). And it looks like she and Kurt have a new found friendship. She told Kurt all about Brody and he believes her. Now Rachel's the only one that doesn't know her ex is a man whore, but that doesn't last long. Santana just goes right out and tells her because Rachel was acting like they would get back together. NO. No x 10. Rachel needs to stay far far away from the gigolo. But she goes to him, with money, and asked for a date. HA! That was the best thing ever! Hilarious. Then they sang "Creep" which was perfect. 
The episode ended with both groups singing "Mamma Mia."
Overall this was a great episode. I loved their guilty pleasures, and I realized that I have no guilty pleasures. Is that weird? I guess I'm not ashamed of anything. And we have to wait another 3 weeks to see a new episode so I'll see you then.  

Glee - Feud

It was a false alarm!! All that drama with Rachel and it was just a false alarm. I knew it. Well, I didn't know what would happen, but I gave a sigh of relief just like everyone else probably did. She just better be glad that she didn't catch an STD from Brody, because he's a male prostitute!!! His true identity is finally revealed and he's not a drug dealer! So, Santana was wrong but what she did get right was that he was one sketchy dude, and she didn't stop until she found out the real truth about "donkey face." First she confronted him at NYADA to get him to move out. That only pissed off Kurt and Rachel even more and they kicked her out instead. That's super rude, especially on Rachel's part. Santana is actually acting like a friend and after all she did for you (Rachel) you're just going to kick her out?! And she was right! But all that didn't stop her for digging deeper into Brody's life and this time she got Finn involved. She pretended to be a client and when he walked in he got the shock of his life, and it only got bigger when Finn came in. Then they got into this huge fight that ended up in things getting broken and them getting hurt. I guess that was THE feud of the episode. My advice: Rachel needs to kick him out before she catches something or the police come barging up to their place because that is not a good look. 

There were many feuds going on at McKinley. Let's start will Will and Finn. Everyone knows that Finn kiss Emma and Will is supper pissed about it. So arty, Blaine, and Tina decide that they have to sing out their differences with songs by feuding people in the music industry, thus the theme of the week. So they decided to live out every 90's girl's dream and mash up "Bye Bye Bye" and "I Want It That Way." I screamed and I'm pretty sure every 90's girl in the nation screamed and sang along to this performance. It was the best thing ever! But, just when you thought everything was peachy and they became friends again, they didn't. Will couldn't forgive Finn that quickly, which is understandable. So Finn decided to pack up and leave and so something. But, thanks to Marley's advice, (to "grow a pair" lol) Finn's going to try and be a teacher. If that's not following in Will's footsteps I don't know what is. 
Ryder is feuding with Wade/Unique. Why? Because when Wade/Unique confronted Ryder about kissing Marley, Ryder wouldn't admit that Wade/Unique was a girl. (Hope you're not confused.) So they decide to sing it out, but only because song random girl Ryder is talking to over the internet told him to. This "girl" also talked him into sending her shirtless pictures. At this point I'm like he is definitely talking to a pedophile. "She" also convinces him to squash his beef with Wade/Unique (and Jake) and just be his/her friend, which he did. Now, the identity of this "girl" is questionable, for me. I thought it was a pedophile but now some in me makes me think that it's someone like Kitty. I don't know, I just have this feeling that this isn't some random nice girl. And the fact that she abruptly signed off right when he asked if they could meet seem really shady to me. Something's not right there. In the end we see all the newbies in a room talking about how they all have to be friends because they are all that will be left next year. (Foreshadowing??) 
Sue and Blaine are also feuding. Apparently Blaine signed some contract (which was forged) and now has to be in the Cheerios for like, or something. This was probably the craziest performance of the night. Of all feuding singers they choose Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey! Blaine sang "I Still Believe" which was normal and Sue sang "Super Bass" which was something. I mean, she was literally dressed up from head to toe, wig and all;I almost couldn't deal. I was great and I love that song so of course I was having a good time. She, obviously, won that feud and now Blaine basically has to do whatever she wants, which was surprisingly all part of his plan to take her down from the inside. That's a smart boy right there.
Oh, and Jake and Marley feuded for like five seconds before they got together and now they're all cute and gross again. 
Overall this episode was great. I mean there was *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Nicki Minaj. Who wouldn't love it?   

Switched at Birth - Introducing the Miracle

The Switched at Birth finally is here and a crazy one it was. 
We started at the protest and the police were about to come in. They didn't even give Daphne a chance with the demands. They just said that they would take them out forcefully or voluntarily and they chose forcefully. It was a real shame to see police officers dragging kids out of school like that. I'm shocked they didn't get bad press out of it. 
So Bay is still really pissed of at Daphne for agreeing to make Carlton all deaf. And her day doesn't get any better because Emmett tells her that Noah is in to Daphne and when she confronts him about it, they break up! Thank God because I really did not like him. Then Bay goes to Daphne, all mad, accusing her of stealing her boyfriend. She also says some pretty harsh things to Daphne, but they make up because of Regina (which we'll talk about later). Oh, and Carlton will remain open BUT it will be 50% hearing, 50% deaf. I guess you win some and you lose some, but I think that they should make the hearing kids take ASL and learn about Deaf culture. It would really open their minds to a world they probably would never be exposed to. 
Well, Toby and Nikki got engaged. I couldn't watch that part without laughing. I don't know, it was just so sudden and quick I couldn't believe it. And of course his parent were super upset and tried to do everything they could to try and stop it, but it didn't work. And we last see them picking out rings! I have to say that Toby is the sweetest and Nikki's one lucky lady. 
Now on to the juicy stuff. First, Angelo is back!!! YAY! But not too happy because Regina showed up to his apartment (after, finally, breaking up with Zane) drunk!! Angelo came to her rescue (aww) by calling her mom and getting into rehab in Minnesota of all places! It's so sad that she has to go so far away and that scene she had with Daphne before she left brought tears to my eyes. And maybe Regina's mom will actually start liking Angelo now that he's taken such good care of Regina. 
Also, Lana and her gorgeous hair are back, but not for long. She has the baby but we barely get to see her because she just up and leaves right after WITHOUT telling anyone. This is a huge turn of events because she didn't even want the baby and now she's taking her away from Angelo. I have a feeling there might be a little bit of jealousy there. I think she thought they would get together but no he's still married to Regina. I don't know where she went but they better find her. 
And there you have it; the finale. We have to wait 3 whole months for the new season and I predict it's going to be a big one! I'll see you Switched at Birth lovers in June. Hope you can stand the wait. :)
