Glee: A Very Glee Christmas (S2E10)

Okay, hello everyone. Let me apologize for kind of bashing Glee during The Golden Globes Awards. I am just sick of Glee hogging all the spotlight from other shows. I don't know if they deserve the awards more but for me, Glee is getting a little overrated. Particularly last year's lackluster season. But, I still love Glee, I love the songs, I love the drama, and I still love watching the show and that's the truth. So forgive me if you were offended, I'm just here to express my opinions. Please feel free to disagree. Thanks. :)

Yes, I realize it's almost February and I'm reviewing a Christmas episode. Sorry for being so late! But excited for it to come back in February (2/8)! Apparently Charice, aka Sunny Corazon, is going to come back! Yes, loved herrrr Telephone rendition in the restroom with Rachel.

Anyways back to this episode, Christmas songs, my favorite part of Christmas :)))) But seriously, I hope that the storyline actually continues...like The Rocky Horror Glee Show (one of my favorites) was really good but had nothing really to do with the story line of Glee, it was kind of just like a SPECIAL EPISODE in which the Glee cast starred in it. Okay, a little bit of triangle with Carl-Emma-Mr. Schu but that was it. And Mr. Schu and Emma didn't even address it later on...

So quick recap from last episodes:

• Emma married the dentist Carl (John Stamos) in Vegas
• Artie and Brittanny <333333
• Rachel cheated on Finn with Puck after she found out about the Santana thing...

New episode:

• Artie and Brittany are so adorableeeeee. I love the Santa letter thing, that was so adorable. :) Why is Brittany so cuteeee :)
• The random songs were strange. Like the decorating of the tree, most of the time like they kind of intro it but this time it was super random. Also I thought that some of the characters don't celebrate Christmas?? Shouldn't they be more like [insert word of your choice here] for all the people who don't celebrate Christmas????
• Whatever, their Christmas tree is freaking hilarious. It's like the most shit-astic combination of tree from the side of the road, secondhand ornaments and stolen empty Christmas boxes from the mall. Only Glee would throw a pity party like that.
• Brittany believing in Santa. Her wish is really cool and she's super sweet, and wouldn't it be bomb if Artie did walk like for reals??? When he did that dance number in the mall I was so surprised and it was ridiculously amazing!!!!! But I love how the Glee-ers are helping out with the belief in Santa so that she won't get disappointed. I especially loved Coach Beast's part. So adorable:) And of course, Artie is "walking" Nice. Coach Beast is sooooo  sweet! :))))))
• Sue as the Grinch. Surprise surprise...but she was nice to Brittany. I like, I like. :)
• Rachel getting rejected...kind of sad but she kind of deserves it not going to lie... But I loved her dress when she was singing The Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Darling"!!!!!!! I also really loved the cardigan/scarf ensemble everyone wore. :)
• Favorite song: "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Kurt and Blaine! A little short, but nice! Even though I'm biased towards "Last Christmas" --> Honestly best song ever!!!
• Giving presents to homeless children is pretty smart for a family and singing show and not really having to incorporate a too dense storyline in this episode. It has a good overtone and blah blah blah. Christmas-y and wonder morals. Overall, the singing was pretty good...but the episode was pretty cheesy and lame. And I'm not going to sugar coat it and say it was amazing. Because honestly it wasn't. Gleeks, don't be mad, sometimes you have to admit to yourself that you can't just like Glee because you like the show, you really need to reflect on the episode. I'm excited to see the next episode because I am 99% sure it'll be better. :)

Looking forward to in the continuing season *excited!*:

• Charice!!!!!
• Kurt and his adventures in Dalton Academy
• New musical guest stars! Gwenyth Paltrow and Britney Spears were so amazing last year!!!!
• New Glee power couple is up for grabs as well! Brittany and Artie, Quinn and Sam, or maybe someone else???
• More drama, hopefully something more interesting than love triangles...
• Also heard I heard...Gwenyth Paltrow is supposed to be Mr. Schu's love interest...
• And Lauren??? Is she going to be a mainstay? She's seriously a Debbie Downer...

And something to look forward to in general:

• Soon enough, won't be out until later this year but...NBC is also producing a musical drama about people coming together to put on a Broadway musical. Finally, some competition for Glee. I'm excited...hopefully it'll be good, I like when shows compete against each other. I like when anything battles against each other, case in point: Apple's iPhone vs. Google's Android phones. But that's a different story. I say...bring it on NBC! :)

Okay, see you guys when Glee comes back next! As of now...watching Shameless, The Cape, and Bob's Burgers and couldn't be happier, I always love new shows. Oh yes, and of course, my favorite Archer is coming back! H. Jon Benjamin in 2 shows. Yes! :)

[On a quick side note: The Cape is actually pretty good. Yes it sounds lame, "I watch The Cape" Bahaha but it's a pretty good show,  you should check it out, it's a pretty good shift in your average spring line-up. Besides if you don't really like it, stop watching it. Oh yes, and serennie is also reviewing it too. :)]
