#Sam Elliott casual racist

Overall Thoughts: This episode has one weak spot, but otherwise it’s awesome. It’s hilarious, it’s entertaining, and manages to feel like it’s actually accomplishing something, even if it’s part of the eternal filler that the first ten episodes of season five comprised of. Plus, Blaine, Sam, and Tina are my favourite friendship on the show, so obviously I’m going to love an episode all about that.

What I Like:

How every time Tina cries Sam and Blaine are instantly comforting her, and how they each have a different style of comfort (Blaine instantly reassures her, whereas Sam tries to stop her from fully giving in, but when that fails he just hugs her)

The whole scene where Sam and Blaine are trying on their graduation robes (particularly Sam suggesting they sneak a cow into school)

Tina sobbing on the floor when they cancel the lock-in

Blaine’s adorable smile when he’s like “it’s the last time I get to wear it! Unless I join some creepy fetish club!” what a fucking dork

Blaine’s ridiculous overreaction to finding Sam and Tina making out. He’s such a fucking drama queen oh my god

Becky saying they have to drink an 11-hour energy every time they fall over and Sam going “Becky, we’ll die”

Elliott telling Rachel he doesn’t like being called “best gay” and also refusing to listen to her entire set

When Santana is like “you’re such a traitor!” and Elliott literally says “well I barely know you”

The entirety of “Gloria”

Kurt kicking Rachel and Santana out of the band and forming a trio with Elliott and Dani

Sidenote on that, the flyer for their gig cracks me up – Kurt Hummel, Elliott Gilbert, and Dani

The guy shouting “WHAT” and “Shut up and sing” when Kurt is on stage

Rachel and Santana actually getting to have a decent, mature conversation that doesn’t totally fall apart within seconds, even if it doesn’t end up solving anything

Blaine at the end saying how the year they’ve had has been so hard and weird, like damn that hits in the feels

What I Don’t Like:

Essentially everything about the Will and Emma story. I think it’s cool they want to have children, but like dear lord why did their conception attempts take up so much episode time oh my god. Also, there is like zero scientific basis for the whole “relax or you can’t get pregnant” bullshit like you think the semen and the egg are like “NOPE SHE TENSE ABORT MISSION” like okay.

Going a little off of that, why can’t Emma come to LA? She’s gotta be like a month pregnant MAX at this point. I think you can fly until you’re about eight months or so?

And on that note, is the Will and Emma story happening on a different timeline than the rest of the episode? Or do the men writing Glee really have that little knowledge about reproduction and women’s bodies that they assume you can have sex and that very day know that you’re pregnant? Taking biology into account, you have to assume the first test that Emma took was a false-negative, because there is no way she could have had sex on day 1, taken the pregnancy test and seen it was negative based on that same-day sex session, then had sex again on day 3 and found out she was pregnant from the day 3 sex session on day 4. Give me a break.

Becky’s casually racist comments. Ew.

Becky in general in this episode just feels like, I don’t know. She didn’t really need to be there.

The whole “a trio is 25% less powerful than a quartet” is so fucking incorrect like I’m terrible at math and even I know that how did that get on the air.

Songs:

Jumpin’, Jumpin’: This is such a fun number and such a fun song. A great way to start off the episode!

Barracuda: This song is good, but feels a little unnecessary, especially considering how awesome “Gloria” is.

Don’t You (Forget About Me): I love the scene and all the shenanigans, but to be honest I’m not that big a fan of this song.

Danny’s Song: I forget about this song every time I watch this episode, and every time it’s an unpleasant surprise like yes hello why

Gloria: I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG. One of my all time fave Glee covers, and the scene is hilarious. For some reason I much prefer Spotlight Diner performances to choir room/auditorium performances

The Happening: Look at Kurt Hummel, in a fucking band with Demi Lovato and Adam Lambert. Actually getting to sing part of the song. Interesting how as soon as Santana and Rachel are out he is now allowed to sing in his own band.

Hold On: Such a good closing number, and I freaking love the outfits that Blaine, Tina, Sam and Artie are wearing! And those weird flowy things that they didn’t make nearly enough use of.

Final Thoughts: This episode is pretty funny, and one that I enjoy watching as a one-off. I love the Blamtina combo, and Elliott is a babe. If they cut the whole Will and Emma thing and subbed in literally anything else, it would be perfect. (Seriously. If they cut out that whole story and instead just filled the time with clips of Marley and Kitty painting each others fingernails I would be so fucking happy).
