Glee Season 2: Sexy Episode Review

Sexy

Season 2, Episode 15

Ugh! Another meandering episode. Frankly, I've given up on expecting any semblance of continuity or sense with the plot of Glee. I don't know. This, to me, was a lame and disappointing episode. I liked the first 10 minutes and then it went downhill for me. But maybe that's just me.

THE GOOD:

- Although I still think that Holly Holiday contributed absolutely nothing to the show, I find her character hilarious. I like a couple of her quotes, especially the "my lips are sealed, just like your legs."

- Some of the things that happened in this episode were funny because of it's absurdity - but not all though.

- For me, the only potentially redeeming part - aside from Holly's existence - was Santana. I mean, I really liked her in this episode and her potential growth. I'm just hoping the writers wouldn't f*cked up his character too.

- Emma was hysterical. That is all.

THE BAD:

- Umm, how is having two gay guys sing and sound like a robot supposed to be sexy to a bunch of girls? I just don't understand.

- Arguably, this episode had the lamest song choices EVER! Sorry. Just not a fan. Also, why did they let Holly Holiday sing three of the five songs in this episode - mind you, the other one was performed by the Warblers! The last time I checked, this was supposed to be about the New Directions right? Did I miss something?

- Tell me, where the hell did Quinn's character development go? I mean, she seemed to have come out a better person after the pregnancy experience and now all that disappeared in what, two episodes? I guess, the writers didn't know what to do with Quinn despite the fact that she had a baby last season and that kind of thing cannot be ignored just like that.

- Quinn and Finn's relationship has no development and, yes, it's becoming extremely contrived.

- True, I kind of liked Kurt's interactions with his dad, but I have to say that it wasn't entirely consistent with how he was in the last episode. Really. Last episode, Kurt wanted his dad to talk to him about sex, and suddenly now he's not? What gives?

- All the kids joining the celibacy club was just stupid because I know that it’s not going to mean a thing by next week. Lame.

- Oh, and still annoyed me to no end that Lauren Zizes - though I love her - got so much scenes, while other characters like Mercedes and Tina were basically props in the background.

- Yes, I mentioned that I liked Santana in this episode, but the romance between her and Brittany just felt weird. So while I understand why they addressed it, everything just felt forced like all relationships on this show.

- Finally, even though Sue didn't appear in this episode that much, her character has jumped the shark. The last show that featured her character was so over-the-top, it wasn’t even funny - it was just stupid.

THE MUSIC: 

DO YOU WANNA TOUCH ME was entertaining. It wasn't as compelling as her rendition of Forget You, but it was still fun to watch. I like the choreography and, again, this number had that Season 1 feel to it.

ANIMAL. Hated their cover of the song - both Blaine and Kurt sounded too robotic with all the autotunes - and I didn't care for this performance as well. I don't know. Maybe I feel like the Warblers are getting more group numbers - some even pretty random - compared to New Directions, which is weird. Heck, the set up of this just didn't make sense to me.

KISS was laughable - in a bad way. Haha. Will Schuester's opening falsetto ruined this performance, I think. Sure, the choreography was decent and the set design looked good, but then again, it would've been nice to see the Glee club perform a group number than to watch Will and Holly gyrate at each other. Not cool.

LANDSLIDE. Now, this, I thought, was beautiful. Holly sounded great and so was Santana and Brittany. However - and I'll say it again - I didn't like the fact that Holly lead this performance. I mean, why didn't they just let Santana and Brittany sing this??? Santana is a better singer than Holly Holiday. Enough said.

AFTERNOON DELIGHT. Hands down, the best musical performance of this episode. This was hysterical. Seriously. I loved how they made the song extremely wholesome and innocent - even if the song, in itself, is inappropriate. Haha. Emma and Quinn sounded good together, who knew? And Rachel's expression during the song was priceless. Oh, and Emma telling Rachel the recipe of Afternoon Delight was pretty funny! Thank God!

So yeah I’m done with my whine fest now.
