  1. Apparently Naya was not controversial enough for the View - Raven Symone is the new host. I thought Naya said sufficiently boneheaded things to qualify, but apparently they wanted someone willing to agree out loud that Michelle Obama looks like an ape. JFC! Suddenly seems like maybe it's a good thing Naya that she didn't get the gig...
  2. I wish. Unfortunately, Naya seems far too career focused to let anything really good spill. I would say the most might be some carefully cleaned up stuff - you know, 'a producer' or 'one of the writers' - but I can't see her burning any bridges. Even if she's never going to work again with RBI, and would be willing to trash them, I'm sure she knows better than to want the reputation as a loose cannon. I think we'll have to wait for someone who's washed up and desperate for money...
  3. I am curious about what changed - surely when she signed on for The Layover, she had a sense of the Scream Queens filming schedule? If I were Lea, I'd be bitter at missing out on a lead role in a movie that William Macy is directing because of Scream Queens.
  4. "I wonder why" is the motto of all Glee fans. Maybe with some curse words.
  5. Thank you! I can't be the only one mostly stunned by the absence of eyebrows, one of Darren's more distinctive features... :)
  6. I'm sure a make-up artist on this board can help me with this: Where the fuck are his eyebrows?? Do they pluck for the show, or just cover them up?? Also: Might see the movie just to see 'Emma' be foul-mouthed!
  7. I am sure I've seen an interview somewhere with Lea in a group of other actresses, and through the interview it becomes apparent that Glee's schedule truly was horrendous, at least in the beginning. (Might be Hollywood Reporter Emmy roundtable in 2011?) And I've also read that those early choir room scenes - while not physically taxing - were nonetheless an enormous drain on the actors' time, since they all had to sit through everything. Even if they were literally just sitting there with no lines. And in fact that's why they greatly reduced the number of choir scenes with the full cast in later seasons -- to avoid that time suck. So I'm inclined to think Kevin speaks the truth.
  8. That is awesome reading, just because it appears to be mostly chronological, so as I was reading, I was flashing back to the episodes. I'm also laughing thinking about the potential from Season 6: "Dating your ex-boyfriend's former high school bully" "Becoming a stalker by creating an entire shrine devoted to one couple"
  9. You know, this is one explanation I had never considered that really could explain some of the godawful writing in Season 6 - ie, if they wrote an overarching storyline for 22 episodes, and then when they got only 13, didn't rewrite or compress the storyline, they just ended it at 13. I kept waiting for Blaine to get the focus that was promised (threatened) before the season - but it never came. Maybe they expected his storyline to take off in the second half of a 22 episode season, and then they didn't get 22 episodes, and they didn't bother to rewrite. Just pushed all their finale stuff into episode 13. So Blaine's story got chopped. Also: OMG, I could not agree more about the grammar discussion.
  10. An article about some of the songs in Glee: Farewell, 'Glee': The giddiest musical moments I did not realize they actually let Adele okay the Rumour Has It/Someone Like You mash-up. No wonder she supported it. And holy cow, I'm even more impressed with revolving room number after reading how little time they had to prepare!
  11. An older article (from right before the finale) - and yet why am i not surprised that Glee answered exactly none of these questions? 10 Burning Questions The 'Glee' Series Finale Needs To Answer — But Probably Won't And LOVE that number one with a bullet is 'When Did Rachel Break Up With Sam?' Wouldn't we all love to know that...
  12. I'm asking because I legitimately don't know this (didn't watch much of the Season 4/5 Lima stuff): But how does her outfit sabotage the performance?
  13. That gifset though, is awesome for its perfect parallels. I mean, the same reaction (no I won't take my clothes off) gets two completely different responses ("Good for you" vs. "You're suspended"). Truthfully, I don't particularly fault WILL for this - for me, this was just symptomatic of the way Glee treated women in general, and Will, in this case, was just the vehicle. Just like Finn just happens to be in the good in this particular instance doesn't hide the fact that plenty of times he was (again, because of the awful writing) doing something incredibly problematic. So my blame falls on the writers. I would LOVE for someone to show something like this to the writers, to see if THEY can explain it.
  14. Amazing how interpretations can differ, and of course we'll probably never really know. "Rachel seems like she would want to consummate her relationship with Finn, whom she considered the love of her life and whom she wanted to marry" is so much more palatable than "Finn was having a bad day and got Rachel's virginity to make him feel better." I REALLY hope the women writers were arguing the former, and then the idiots in charge turned the actual script into what we saw.
