Glee Season 2 Finale Open Thread

Gabe — Wed, 25 May 2011 15:45:54 +0000

I miss Soft Gabe, you guys. Do you miss Soft Gabe? I miss him so much. He would know what to say about last night’s Glee season finale. Let me guess: there was singing? I honest to God have no idea what this show is even ABOUT. I know it has singing, that was just kidding around, and I know it’s about high school, and I know “Jane Lynch” and that’s about it. Slurpees? Do we know what is going on with the Slurpees at this point, or is it some What’s In The Hatch shit? Oh well. Don’t let my ignorance keep you from discussing the show. Was it exciting? Was it sad? Was it a documentary? Like I said: no idea. At least Soft Gabe is looking down at us from heaven and smiling right now. Big ups Soft Gabe! [Insert campy "Stairway to Heaven" cover in a football locker room. Get it?]

Glee S02E17: Goodbye Soft Gabe!

Gabe — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 17:30:07 +0000

So, there is some good news and some bad news for the Gleeheads today. The good news is that after an extended-hiatus, Glee is back on the air! Yay? Yay! I have never watched an episode of Glee in my life, but I can imagine that if you like this show, this is great. I mean, there are other shows that I have watched that have gone on extended-hiatus and when they come back after a hiatus–OK, I think you get my point. Now, for the bad news. Are you sitting down? SIt down, please. Videogum’s resident Glee Expert, Gabe Liedman, will no longer be able to cover the show for this website. Obviously, this is unfortunate, and he will be missed. But before you start crying into the sleeve of your letter jacket (which is not that great of a kind of sleeve to cry into, btw. It’s not absorbent!) know that he has a very good reason for leaving us: he has been hired to write for a new Vh1 morning talk show and also to APPEAR on that show! WOWOWOWOWOW! YESSSS! So, you see, when God closes a Glee recap, he opens a Vh1 morning talk show. Not so bad! Chins up, tigers! Let’s all please wish Soft Gabe well in his new adventures, and let’s do our best to pick up his slack by discussing the episodes together, like a family. He can never be replaced, but we should try our best to replace him. Never forget.

Glee S02E15: Sexual Inter-Force & Kids Wanna Fuck!

Gabe Liedman — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 18:30:16 +0000

Gwyneth Paltrow’s back you guuuuuuys! And so’s Glee, after giving up their airtime to some assholes named American Idol who I guess needed to borrow some attention last week because they’re brand new in town and in need of viewers. Speaking of in-need-of-viewers, Glee did a whole episode about sexiness, Sex Ed, sexual songs, sexy lesbianism, fluid sexuality, romance vs. sex, celibacy vs. healthiness, being scared of sex, and Gwyneth Paltrow! Kiiiiiiiiiind of loved it, sah-wee, no one ever said I had good taste or anything to say (this post will be over 2,000 words long, fer sher). Wonder if people will be upset again by the sexual nature of this episode, like they were when these 54 year old actresses posed for GQ in their underpants. I sure hope not. I thought the messages were right on, if a little hard on prudes (trust: there are a trillion gr8 reasons to be a prude in High School). Santana’s temporarily a lesbian, which is realistic as hell I think? Quinn’s pretending to be one thing, then being another. Emma is from Rugrats and not Earth. And Gwyneth Paltrow got some awesome lines, some good songs, and fuck it: great job, sister rich lady!!!!

Glee S02E14: Everyone is Aware of Alcohol

Gabe Liedman — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:30:20 +0000

When I was in high school, I never drank. I smoked weed, eventually, like right towards the end, and then everysecondsince; but, I never drank for realsies until college. I didn’t have a ton of friends at all, and the ones I did have only drank a ton when we were like 17+, and I was the only one with a car (a 1994 gold Ford Taurus wagon), so if we ever did go out (which we didn’t), I had to be sober (weed didn’t count (and neither did whip-its because they, like, wore right off right away)). So, watching this Glee episode, I wanted be all “oh this is retarded, nothing is ever like this, what a dumb piece of TV.” But really, the whole time, I was like “aaaaaw, these assholes are so lucky to have each other, because drinking is fun and only cool grownups like me should do it alone right now.” Oh, maybe I should also say that I drank a 20oz. bottle of Cherry Coke Zero with a ton of vodka in it (should someone tell high schoolers that just dumping a bunch of vodka in whatever you’re drinking doesn’t change the flavor that much? Do normal ones know already know that??), and then started writing this the second the show ended, instead of waiting until the next morning like a real person. Can you guys even believe Gabe D. went on vacation that time???? Glee was fine!

Glee S02E12: “Afores I Endsya”—Santana in Bitchy Solo Twin-Speak FTW!

Gabe Liedman — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:00:18 +0000

Y.E.S. Fuck yes. This always happens—I’m like “why do I watch this fucking awful show, besides the big VIDEOGUM MONEY to keep my body pillow plump and convincing?” There’s a terrible episode one week and then the next week the show’s fucking great. Luckily, this week I only had to wait about 48 hours for the shit to get back on track. And back on track it was: hilarious jokes, lovely renditions of songs I love AND hate, relevant plotlines (high school drawmah is EXTREMELY relevant to me because I am only 15)… It was excellent, and I should’ve known to just hold my breath and stare at the ceiling for the Super Bowl, because everyone knows that February 8th is VALENTINE’S DAAAAAAY, and Glee always brings the heart-shaped fudge!

GLEE S02E11 OR Episode Number SUPERBOWL XLV: Second Worst Commercial of the Night?

“Great game, countrymen. Ah, say, what show is starting now? Let’s watch.”—Fox’s Impression of What American Might Be Like
Soooooooo… What the fuck was that? Was that supposed to be a long commercial for Glee aimed at people who have never seen the show before and probably aren’t interested in it in the first place? Because if so: NOPE. Mission failed. After sitting through the whole Super Bowl (it was good!), even I wasn’t in the mood for Glee, and I’m in the mood for Glee during Glee. Like when Glee is playing, I’m thinking “I could totally watch some Glee right now.” But last night, after just a couple minutes of Glee I realized that not only wasn’t the episode for me, but it was fucking terrible. Not funny. Bad songs. Annoying! Cool first impression on the Super Bowl crowd, Glee. You dropped the ball harder than when The Black Eyed Peas forgot to sing “Meet Me Halfway,” and sang all those other songs instead (and live?!). Of the night’s commercials, this episode of Glee was my second-to-least-favorite, second only to this Kia bomb:

Glee S02E10: “Happy Birthday, Jesus Christ!”—Rude Homosexuals

Gabe Liedman — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:45:08 +0000

It’s December 8th, 2010: THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS! Oh man, hope you’re not all so hungover from how it was Christmas last night. You probably stayed up all night chugging egg nog and eating whole geese, French kissing your brand new Sega, making snowmen, learning lessons about real-life Earth angels and poverty, having deep and meaningful intercours under the mistletoe with all your relatives, while watching Reindeer Games on Blu-ray over and over and over and over. I know what it’s like—I’ve seen a few Christmas episodes of shit. This was one of those!!! It was fine. A million weeks ago, when Glee burped its XXXmas album out into the ether for tons of cash, you know I listened to that shit, and it made me shudder. Yick. It sounded like Pokemon emailing will.I.am about Christmas. But, once those beep-boop sounds were coming out of the characters’ faces last night, it didn’t seem so bad at all. I mean, it wasn’t this:

Glee S02E08&E09: Who FURTed? & Hi, Sectionalz!

Gabe Liedman — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:00:56 +0000

You may have noticed that there was no Gleecap last week, because America was busy giving Thanks for turkey guts and desserts and bus rides and High School friends who are so much weirder than you thought they used to be. So, what follows is a double dose of Gleetardation for your “enjoyment.” It is way too long, and way too involved, and so full of words and bullshit that the internet just might fall over under the weight of its nonsense. In that regard, I apologize. In every other regard: I do not.

Episode 8!

Another week about Kurt and bullying! Cool? After last episode’s joke-a-thon with racism and GOOP a plenty, I guess it was technically time to get back down to bizniss. And down was the direction indeedy—way less funny, way less dazzling, way less everything than GOOP week. And when the fuck is Mercedes going to sing something already?! This was definitely not the worst episode, and at least one of the songs was pretty gr8, but with a guest star like Carol Burnett, playing Sue’s Nazi-hunting psycho-mom, I expected to be gasping for air between laughs, calling EMT’s to pull the Pad See Yew out of my throat, or to just zip me up in a bag for good. Buuuuut, not so much. This was not a hilarious episode, though not too melodramatic either; we saw a softer side to Sue and a cuter side to Finn, very little Rachel, tragically little Brittany the Perfect, and 1.5 weddings! Glee!
