Recap: Glee, season one, episode 11


The Post’s Asmahan Garrib recaps the latest episode of Glee:

Mini review: Coach Sylvester is back with a mission to ruin sectionals. mr. Schue gets caught up in hairography. and Quinn test-drives Puck as her baby daddy.

Recap:
there was no subtly in delivering this week’s Glee message. Distractions was the word on everyone’s lips: in their eyes, a purpose and on their heads, hair.

Sue Sylvester returned in fighting form this episode. none of that act of caring, glimmer of humanity nonsense she delivered in the past few episodes. no, this week she brought the insult slinging, destroy or be destroyed attitude that has made her the most beloved character. Paranoid she is leaking sectional routine information to rival schools; mr. Schue pays Jane Addams Academy a visit. there, Ms. Hitchens, played by Eve, informs him that her Glee girls may be delinquents, but they are not cheaters. and so, Will apologizes by proposing a friendly scrimmage that allows the Jane Addams’ girl an opportunity to use McKinley’s auditorium.

The Jane Addams Academy choir put on a raunchy, under-clothed, bum-shaking, hair-thrashing version of Destiny Child’s Bootylicious. mr. Schue actually looked worried (I wasn’t sure if I just watched the same performance he watched, since my only reaction was horror). Rachel quickly approached him and explained hairography. She told him that their performance was all smoke and mirrors, with a lot of hair whipping to distract from their lack of dance ability or vocal talent. mr. Schue somehow takes a liking to this idea and decides to incorporate it into the New Directions repertoire.

Meanwhile, Quinn considers keeping her baby and wants to tryout Puck as the father. to keep Finn distracted while she spends time with Puck, Quinn enlists Kurt’s help. She convinces him to give Rachel a makeover so Finn will find her more appealing. Kurt sabotages the makeover. he knows that Finn likes the natural, wholesome look, so he gives Rachel the Grease makeover: cat suit, permed hair and excessive makeup. When Rachel comes-on to Finn, her new look garners an unpleasant reaction. to put it like Finn, she looks like “a sad clown hooker.”

With Rachel keeping Finn busy, Quinn invites Puck to babysit Terri’s sister’s children. together, Quinn and Puck lull the little devils to sleep by singing them Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach. Happy with their parenting skills, Quinn tells Terri that she is keeping her baby. to Terri’s dismay, she realizes that she now has no way out of her lie. to buy herself some time, she buys mr. Schue an old car to fix-up in an effort to distract him until she comes up with a new plan.

Quinn’s plan to raise her baby with the real father, Puck, backfires when she discovers sexy text messages, “sexts” with other girls in his phone. Puck explains that she can’t expect him to remain faithful to her all the time. so, Quinn returns to Terri and solves her problem yet again. She tells Terri that she will give her the baby because mr. Schue will make the best father.

The Glee coach from the School for the Deaf pays mr. Schue a visit to voice his feeling of discrimination. if the Jane Addams Academy choir was invited to scrimmage with New Directions, it is only fair that he invite the School for the Deaf choir. mr. Schue agrees and for the first time we get to see New Directions hair fueled, epileptic dance mash-up of Beyonce’s Crazy in Love and Hair from the Broadway play of the same name. Awful is really the only word to describe it. The deaf students watched in embarrassment before taking the stage for their version of John Lennon’s Imagine.

In what is definitely the best performance of the season to date, the School for the Deaf set aside any distractions and performed an almost tear evoking, sign language version of the classic that lifted New Directions out of their seats. they sang alongside the signers, showing mr. Schue the power of a raw, real performance.

So, cutting the dreadful hairography from their set list, mr. Schue introduces a new song to take its place. Tina led the group in Cyndi Lauper’s True Colours: no dancing, matching outfits or hair flipping.

As the Glee group put all distractions aside and performs from the heart, Coach Sylvester reveals herself. She assembles a meeting with the Glee coaches from Jane Addams and the School for the Deaf to betray mr. Schue. She gives them New Directions’ set list and prompts them to cheat, waiving any unethical opinions. “Never let anything distract you from winning,” she instructs the other coaches.

Defining Scene: If every song Glee ever performed were this version of Imagine, it would be well worth tuning in every week.

The Gospel of Glee: Is It Anti-Christian?


Glee, the hit show about a high school Glee club, has very sharp claws, which is one reason kids like it so much. It is routinely, if hilariously, cruel (the sweet jock is described as so dumb, “he’s cheating off a girl who thinks the square root of 4 is rainbows”). But no darker current–let alone motivation for parental monitoring–had occurred to me until I recently heard a bright, earnest youth minister tell a group of high school kids that he thought Glee was “anti-Christian.”

It is easy to see his point, if you look at the specifics. in his view, Glee portrays Christians as phonies and hypocrites. He observed that the only self-identified Christian is the shiny blond Quinn, cheerleading president of the celibacy club, who is pregnant by one classmate but pretending the father is another. (To make matters more complicated, in a heartbreaking scene, she begs her parents’ forgiveness; in righteous fury, they throw her out of the house.) meanwhile, the glee-club director, mr. Schuester, is unhappily married to a perky little spider, which makes the adultery subplot involving him look positively charitable. the students lie, they cheat, they steal, they lust, they lace the bake-sale cupcakes with pot in order to give the student body a severe case of the munchies. nearly all the ten Commandments get violated at one point or another, while the audience is invited to laugh at people’s pain and folly and humiliation.

Which led my husband to pose the question to our daughters, What would Jesus watch? that in turn led to an intriguing–and useful–conversation around our dinner table. It’s the oldest teacher’s trick, better to show than tell: the Sermon on the Mount was clean and clear, but Jesus also offered parables, little mysteries to unwrap and examine for their coded messages. this is a delivery device especially good for teenagers building their rebellious muscles.

It insults kids to suggest that simply watching Characters Behaving Badly onscreen means they’ll take that as permission to do the same themselves. the fact that Glee is about a club full of misfits already makes it ripe gospel ground; Jesus was not likely to be sitting at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria. And it’s set in high school, meaning it’s about a journey not just to college and career but to identity and conviction, the price of popularity, the compromises we must make between what we want and what we need.

Squealing with Glee: why kids love Fox TV's new high school musical


Meet the glee club kids … the cast of season one. Photograph: 20th Century Fox/Everett/Rex

I am full of glee. is this a good thing? this week, the New York Times ran a story on how an hour-long comedy on the Fox TV network “has become a cult favourite among the theatre community in New York.” most days, I like to imagine myself as part of that community, so this morning I settled in to watch all nine episodes of Glee. the aggregate effect of this is like gorging on fistfuls of marshmallows or Turkish delight: sweet, sickly and not entirely satisfying.

Set in the brutish environs of a midwestern American high school, Glee centres on the jocks, cheerleaders and musical-theatre geeks who constitute the Glee Club, an extracurricular society devoted to singing popular songs. Led by will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), a charismatic Spanish teacher with a golden throat and quicksilver hips, the club kids devote their after-school hours to song, dance – and teen angst. the show occasionally touches on graver issues (pregnancy, disability, sexuality: that sort of thing), but dialogue only gets in the way of nifty vocal arrangements such as Bust a Move or somebody to Love.

Many in the cast are Broadway veterans. Morrison starred in Hairspray, club members Lea Michele and Jenna Ushkowitz in Spring Awakening. the crushingly adorable Kristin Chenoweth has guest-starred in an episode, and it’s rumoured that other stage darlings such as Jonathan Groff and Idina Menzel may soon appear. the show’s popularity among theatre folk may owe much to that overlap. as well as this, the series provides a chance to root for hometown heroes making good – and no doubt making bank – in primetime.

The show is something of a phenomenon among young actors. In the theatre world I work in (non-musical plays, acted and attended by grown-ups), I don’t hear it mentioned much. It’s nothing like last year, when it seemed you couldn’t enter a lobby without hearing praise of CBC show Slings and Arrows, which was set in a theatre. (Let me take a second to proselytise: Slings and Arrows really is good. Jesus saves, etc. OK, moving on.)

Maybe the grown-ups don’t go on about it because, as far as I can tell, Glee isn’t that great a show. like other series from writer-producer Ryan Murphy, it relies on overacting, flashy editing and a thick veneer of irony. it also features lazy writing and ample stereotyping (especially of female characters). I was once a musical-theatre geek, too, but I don’t feel much affinity with Glee’s stock characters (feisty black woman, high-fashion gay kid, whining Jewish princess) and hackneyed life lessons, and I’m a little surprised that young actors do.

But Glee has one great advantage over other shows – and this is probably what gets the teens squealing – its seductive musical numbers. it features contemporary songs (Gold Digger), rock classics (Don’t stop Believin’) and musical-theatre staples (Maybe this Time), innovatively arranged and feelingly performed. When Glee is good (about once every episode), it shows how prearranged words and music can, in the hands of willing performers, be made to seem original, spontaneous, utterly personal. In every episode, the club kids get their hands on a stack of sheet music and make the familiar feel absolutely fresh. It’s the same sorcery that is at work in any worthwhile theatre production. a gleeful thing indeed.

Clardy's Corner: Unmitigated Glee


Yes. That’s what last Saturday was like. I would start quoting Geto Boys lyrics, but since this is a family website, I’ll refrain.

Stanford dropped some mighty heel stomps and took a baseball bat to the Trojans. in their own house. the result was unmitigated glee for Cardinalmaniacs worldwide.

I’ll be honest. I wish that game could have gone on for 14 quarters. I also wish that instead of going for two, we could have gone for twenty. Then called an onside kick.

But what Stanford actually did to the Trojans was enjoyable enough. the defense confused and harassed Matt Barkley. Toby Gerhart bowling-balled off would-be tacklers. Andrew Luck fired pinpoint passes. the Card caught the Trojans with their pants down on the goal line. And it resulted in a major win for the program, one that everyone can take pride in.

That win was for Clinton Snyder, the injured senior linebacker whose jersey number 20 is now proudly worn by Tom McAndrew.

That win was for Richard Sherman, a senior who has had many ups and downs in his Stanford Football career and his life. But, as he proudly told the TV audience and anyone else who would listen, he is undefeated at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. he had a huge hand in making that happen. And I’m sure the Sherman contingent in the stands couldn’t have been happier.

That win was for all the seniors who were there when the program was starting over from square one, the younger players who will be trusted to keep the fire burning, and for the potential recruits who are thinking about getting on board.

That win was for the longtime die-hard Stanford fans who sat through 49-0 at the Coliseum in 1977. Or even 26-24 in 1969.

That win was for the current Stanford students, who are supporting Cardinal Football like I’ve never seen before. They’re being rewarded with a lot of awesome memories that will last them a lifetime.

That win was for every other fan base in the Pac-10. Let’s face it, U$C hasn’t made many friends outside of Los Angeles, so on the extremely rare occasions when they lose big, everyone else in the Pac-10 celebrates like Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s Day, and New Year’s all rolled into one.

That win was not for the Axe. Nor was it for a bid to an upper-tier Pac-10 bowl. Nor was it for unquestionably tilting the balance of power of Bay Area college football in its direction. That is what’s on the table for the Cardinal this week.

Last week’s win, if used correctly, could have potential positive long-term effects on this program for the foreseeable future. it could be a program-changer, like Oregon experienced with their win over Washington in 1994. With the game on the line, Kenny Wheaton jumped on a Damon Huard pass and took it back 97 yards to the house for the game-clinching score.

Without “The Pick”, as it’s called in Eugene, the Ducks probably don’t go to the Rose Bowl that year. without “The Pick”, Oregon probably isn’t a national football program with the facilities to match 15 years later. Then again, without “The Pick”, the Ducks aren’t assaulting our senses with uniforms that would make a skunk puke.

Modern Oregon football can be traced back to that very play. If Stanford responds correctly on and off the field, last week’s win could serve as a similar springboard for the Cardinal program.

That response begins this week, with a big Game that is all about the here and now. It’s about preserving the Cardinal’s perfect record inside the Eucalyptus Curtain. It’s about returning the Stanford Axe to its rightful home. It’s all about firmly re-establishing itself as Northern California’s preeminent college football program.

Many people thought that this year’s big Game would feature a team with a possible shot at a Rose Bowl legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate at running back. As it turned out, they were right about the scenario…not so much about which team it would be.

The Cardinal, not the Bears, are the new “it” team in the Pac-10. Stanford, not cal, thrived in its tests against Oregon and U$C in back-to-back weeks. even before he suffered the frightening injury that will unfortunately sideline him again for this week, Jahvid best wasn’t being touted as the Bay Area’s best player. Toby Gerhart was.

The Bears are 7-3, ranked in this week’s BCS standings, and are already bowl-bound. Still, this hasn’t quite been the season Old Blues must have been dreaming about back in August. But Old Blues always live for beating Stanford.

After last year’s big Game, I suggested that the gap between Stanford and cal football wasn’t as wide as the Weenies would like to believe. the Weenies responded by calling me delusional, among other things.

Fast forward 51 weeks. right now, no one outside of Berkeley would argue that cal’s football program is far and away superior to Stanford’s program. Heck, some people inside Berkeley might even argue that the better football program right now resides in Palo Alto.

Which program is truly better? right now, I think it’s about even (although Stanford is clearly trending up). But the object that typically signifies the best Bay Area’s best college football program is the Axe. And what happens within the next 72 hours will go a long way towards deciding that question for this year.

I wasn’t there for the Screw of ‘82, and Berkeley’s infamous trash-talkers from the early ‘90s were just before my time on the Farm. I’ve respected the cal athletic department and what they’ve been able to accomplish this decade. they seem to be doing things the right way. the players seem to be good kids overall. their band is the best in the Pac-10 (and I don’t think it’s close). Hell, I’d actually like Berkeley a lot more if it weren’t for two things: the city and the Weenies.

Even though there are actually some things that I begrudgingly like and respect about cal, that doesn’t mean I’ll have any pity for them if they lose this Saturday. actually, I hope the Bears get a worse Harbaughtomy than the Trojans did. Last week’s result set the bar, and hopefully the Cardinal meet and surpass the challenge. the stakes for this week (and the foreseeable future) are too high for Stanford not to respond.

All the momentum? all the attention? all the buzz? it can all go away fast. Remember when Washington was the new Flavor of the Week in the Pac-10? it only takes one bad game to undo a lot of great work. Ask the Trojans for their thoughts on this.

That’s why, I think, big Game just got a whole lot bigger for Stanford. And I don’t think the Cardinal would want it any other way.

********** ********** **********

RANDOM PAC-10 THOUGHTS

For the longest time, Stanford fans have had an unrequited hatred for U$C. Now, the feeling is mutual from South Central. this is a two-sided rivalry again, folks. And I like it…

The “Harbaugh going for two” subplot has been beaten to death by everyone, and many Trojan fans are calling what Harbaugh and Stanford did “classless”. instead of going the “pot-calling-the-kettle-black” route, I’ll merely offer this: it’s awfully hard to look classy while you’re punching someone in the mouth. it just doesn’t work like that…

Yes, it’s exciting that Pasadena is still a possibility heading into big Game week, but so much of that is out of Stanford’s actual control. instead of losing sleep trying to figure out every single Rose Bowl scenario, let’s just win these final two games and see what happens. even if Pasadena doesn’t happen, would anyone complain about San Diego? I sure wouldn’t…

Uh oh…is the real Arizona finally showing itself?

Is it me or does it seem like Syd’Quan Thompson has been at cal for at least nine years? Who does he think he is, Alfred Grigsby?

Not a Pac-10 thought, but… no one has perfected the come-from-ahead loss this year like Indiana…

Not a Pac-10 thought, but… wow. a Mayan calendar has a longer future than Eric Mangini does right now in Cleveland…

Not a Pac-10 thought, but… oh, the things you find on YouTube: weird Al Yankovic, the other Julie Brown, and LL cool J squaring off as contestants in a celebrity edition of MTV’s “Remote Control”. 1989 never looked so good. Thanks for the memories, Ken Ober…

********** ********** *********** even though I think Oregon is the better team, I’m having trouble definitively picking them here. Arizona’s quick defense seems a little better suited to containing the Quack Attack, and the Ducks’ beleaguered secondary faces the stat-compiling Nick Foles. plus it’s Senior Day in Tucson. Again, the Ducks are the better team. But I think the deck is stacked in the Wildcats favor here. I like Arizona by 9.

Arizona State @ UCLA.

Who will start for the Sun Devils at QB? Can the Bruins run the ball against ASU’s defense? maybe the biggest question: does anyone actually care about this game? I like UCLA by 4.

Oregon State @ Washington State.

No way in hell. I like Oregon State by 79.

Last week: 3-1 (straight-up), 2-2 (ATS).
This year: 19-8 (straight-up), 15-12 (ATS).
Last year: 30-6 (straight-up), 24-12 (ATS).

Gaga for Glee: Gleeks delight in online mimicry of TV show's musical numbers


Glee, Fox’s sharp and subversive musical comedy series, is averaging a respectable 8.6 million viewers a week.

And apparently all of them are going online to champion and celebrate the show, which is turning out to be more viral than H1N1.

Glee may rank 42nd in the Nielsen ratings, but it’s a phenomenon on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

“We monitored Twitter feeds,” says Chris Albrecht, coeditor of NewTeeVee.com, a Web site devoted to online video, “and Glee is absolutely crushing the competition. Of all TV shows, it’s the one people Twitter about the most.”

Fans of the series — imagine High School Musical with a wicked sense of humour — call themselves Gleeks. they have a unique way of expressing their devotion: taping do-it-yourself copycat videos of the show’s rousing musical numbers, then posting them on YouTube or on their individual home pages.

The spontaneous explosion of tribute videos was the first indication to the makers of Glee, which airs at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on Fox, that their show was hitting a sweet spot with viewers.

“Right after we aired the pilot in May, people started posting their own versions of our songs online,” says Dante Di Loreto, Glee’s executive producer. “It was so exciting to see because we knew then that we had touched a chord.

“Believe me, I’ve seen a lot of different versions of our songs,” says Di Loreto of the online reproductions. “No matter how crazy they get, it’s still flattering.”

Things certainly do get loony in these play-at-home versions of Glee. there are videos featuring puppets, Disney cartoon characters, even a live leaf bug grooving to the show’s cover of Gold Digger.

Remember the sparkly rendition of Burt Bacharach’s I Say a Little Prayer delivered by three lissome cheerleaders on one episode?

Imagine it painstakingly reenacted by three bearded gay men in baby tees.

“People say, ‘You should do it in drag,’” says Jason Whipple, who lip-syncs the lead. “I say, ‘We ARE doing it in drag! It’s boy drag.’”

Whipple, who recently moved to San Francisco from Vermont, made the clip as a lark in his apartment with two friends and a digital camera. they dubbed their hirsute trio the Full Silkwood, after a typically audacious punch line from the show.

His little jape has turned Whipple into a minor celebrity.

“I was walking with a friend of mine to a coffee shop,” he says. “A couple of people stopped us. ‘You’re the guy from the video!’ my friend was like, ‘You just moved here a month ago. How does everyone know you?’”

One of the more ambitious tribute videos is a shot-for-shot restaging of the pilot’s showstopper, Journey’s Don’t stop Believin’.

Filmmaker Wes Kim recruited six friends for the reenactment, shot in downtown Seattle. because he didn’t have a portable device to play back the episode, Kim had to refresh his memory of the source material by different means.

“Everyone had iPhones and smart phones,” he says. “So for specifics, we would watch bits of it on the spot.”

More than 2 million songs by the Glee cast have been purchased on iTunes. last week, six selections from the show were among iTunes’ top 200 downloaded songs. nine episodes were among the top 200 in TV sales. And Glee: the Music, Vol. 1, released Nov. 3, sold 113,000 copies its first week to capture the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The number of tribute videos may really go through the roof in the next few months if a novel initiative by the show’s producers pans out.

“Based on fan demands, we’re going to include instrumental versions only on some special editions of the soundtracks as an added element,” says Di Loreto. the second soundtrack will be released early next month.

“It’ll make it easier,” he says, “for people to do karaoke versions of our songs.”

As though Gleeks need any more encouragement.
