  1. I know Every Breath You Take is so wrong, but I love the beat and the idea they used for the performance. And Cold Hearted I just thought was fun. Santana dancing around with a bunch of women. Nutbush and Bad Romance I also loved. Dance With Somebody also deserves a mention. I love fun dance songs like that. Mine was also great. I loved most of her songs/performances, really.
  2. ETA: I forgot to mention, silly me, what was probably my favorite Santana moment ever: Santana fucking Quinn. That was completely unexpected and awesome.
  3. I don't think Soren needs the sap. He got cured by himself, I thought. But who knows. No, I don't think that was the point of her speech. Michael was the leader who got people to do what he wanted and made them think it was their idea and that they had a choice... but the baby farm showed that they didn't have any choice and he had full control of the abby. That's what Anne was offering Peter. I thought she is too used to having a leader to change now, and that she will want to find a way to make Peter immortal like Michael so things could keep carrying on as they had, maybe with the slight change of her being a bit more involved in the leadership. Peter's character is such a mess to me. Not his motivations, those have been pretty consistent: he feels underneath Alan and wants to be the leader, the one who is respected. The problem is how far he is willing to go. He was involved with Narvik, but later seemed genuinely interested in helping the people of the island, but then he wanted 100 million dollars to save people and now he's slitting some helpless woman's wrist. What the fuck? I thought the same thing and found it quite amusing.
  4. Well, since Glee ended I thought I would make one last comment about Santana. Santana was my favorite character on Glee. She was the reason I started watching. She was charismatic, and fun. She had a great voice and she would light up the scenes for me. She was also a bad girl who happened to have feelings, too, and I'm a sucker for those. She was a lesbian, and I am a sucker for those too. :) Her original story about repressing her lesbianism, and many other feelings, because of her fears of rejection I thought was quite engaging and hooked me to her character. Back then, when I believed in Glee, I looked forward to her coming out story and future romantic relationships. Then Glee happened and Santana became one of the many wasted things about the show. At least she sang a lot, which I enjoyed a lot because I loved her voice, but the character seemed to go nowhere. Eventually it became clear that Santana wasn't a real priority for the show and was really a pawn that they moved here and there to fill up spaces they needed, but they were not really invested in her storyline or didn't really know what they wanted for her or what they were doing. I found her relationship with Brittany specially crippling for her as a character. For a long time they were basically in different universes in terms of tone, and as long as she was with Brittany she would be Santana's main relationship in the show. I hated that because Brittany was just a messy caricature of a character and I wanted more for Santana and more for me as a Santana fan. I had a huge pleasant surprise in season four, when it seemed like the things I wanted were finally happening. Santana broke up with Brittany and eventually went to NY. The time she spent in NY as Rachel and Kurt's roommate was by far my favorite Santana period. She was fun again and was interacting with characters that I felt were up to what she deserved. Both the characters and the actors worked well together and had great chemistry. I was thrilled to see Santana opening herself up to other people not called Brittany, and her relationship with Rachel was or, I should say, could've been by far my favorite relationship on the show. But the good times weren't too long. Soon it became obvious that they STILL didn't know what they were doing with her, and even her storylines in NY started to go a bit bad, though it's still my favorite period of hers. By mid season 5 it became obvious that Santana was just a placeholder for the people from Lima who was still in HS, and she more or less disappeared when they went to NY. With Blaine, and Mercedes and Sam in the picture, she could no longer be a close friend of Rachel's and there was little place for her there. And with Quinn gone as well, her return to Brittany's orbit was inevitable. And back to the beginning we were. And back to my frustration I was. Still, Brittana in season 6 was better than it ever had been. Brittany became more of a person, so their inevitable return and wedding wasn't as awful as I expected it to be. But nonetheless, I still missed the Santana who was Kurt and Rachel's friend and considered them family. Then the latest, and LAST (finally!) disappointment came with her complete exclusion in the finale. I would have enjoyed seeing her support Rachel during her Tony award thing, and telling us what she is up to (they never even bothered with giving her a fucking career), and maybe having one last moment with Quinn. But nooo, I guess we needed a million more Sue scenes and Kurt/Blaine singing to random children. In spite of all the disappointments, in a way I will miss Santana. I will miss what she could've been. What I wish she had been. But that's the problem with shows like Glee: if you have a million characters, people are always going to be disappointed because their favorite character(s) will never be all they want them to be. Bye, Santana. You were sassy and fun. Here are two of my favorite Santana performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F88eSda3bo
  5. Whoa. This show is getting too twisted for my taste. Too much incest everywhere and so much violence against women... that scene with the women in the basement was absolutely sick. So those were all Michael's daughters, who he turned into human incubators, tied up and dehumanized completely, then raped and impregnated and later murdered. Absolutely disgusting. Anne is as batshit crazy as Amy and if I hated Peter before, his death can't be cruel enough now, for me. Please, please let that asshole die. On the bright side, I think this one was like the only episode where Alan didn't annoy me, and I liked Julia and Sarah working together. I think I liked Julia being all science-y again. I just don't get why the hell she and Sarah just don't kill Amy. They are immortal and even though they can die they can risk getting wounded because they will heal and survive most wounds. I assume the visions vary from person to person. In this case it was something from Kyle's childhood. Those were very specific taunts.
  6. She was Wills old Glee Club director, when he was a teen in McKinley. She was his inspiration since the pilot and they showed a flashback of her and Will in 1993 at the beginning of Dreams Come True.
  7. Unique, Joe and Ryder go down the stairs of the stage together. Ryder holds Unique's hand. Dunno about Rory.
  8. I've been trying to put into words what I think is the main problem with Glee, and I think this is it. They try and they go through the motions, but for years the stories haven't had any effect on me because they don't feel authentic and honest. The storylines feel like they are trying too hard with the big moments, but at the same time not trying enough. Rachel winning the Tony would've been a huge moment if we had actually seen her fighting to succeed in Broadway, instead of the mess that were seasons 4-6, for example. Rachel ending with Jessie, though I liked it, would have been more powerful if he had come back a while ago and they had a good proper storyline. And so many similar etc. They would rather spread out into a million characters and storylines and directions rather than focus on the same people and do it well. So it all feels blaaaaaaah. Still, I'm disappointed because I hoped against my better judgement that Glee would leave me with a good taste in my mouth. But meh.
  9. I was unspoiled and I was pretty surprised by how they basically did a season one episode. The only thing I had read was that there would be some flashbacks, but there weren't even present day bookends, it was like a lost season one episode. I didn't dislike the idea and was pretty shocked because I thought they pulled it off. Omg, Rachel was so on point. The problem for was, however, that I didn't get the point of it. I thought the only thing it had going was the dramatic irony, that we knew how things would turn out when the characters didn't. I felt I didn't discover anything that I was dying to know or there was any pay off or anything. I probably would have enjoyed if it was about my faves, but it wasn't so it was boring to me, but better than the crap that came after, for sure.
  10. Actually, yes they could have and should have, imo. It did not have to be complicated, at the very least they could just have showed up during the Tony thing and mentioned their lives. At least the originals.
  11. Lol, I was just going to say that. I did think they could pass for themselves 6 years ago, save Colfer, and that was pretty surprising to me.
  12. I usually hate finales, but this one is one of the worst I have seen. Two hours of pointlessness leading to a big pile of nothing. Because the writing is so bad, I can't care about their futures because they don't write things in any sort of exciting way, but I was still curious to see how they turned out and hoped the last episode would be at least fun and focus on everyone's future. Instead they focused on the kids I cared the least about, save Rachel. I wanted to see how Santana, Quinn, Brittany and even Puck ended up, but nothing. Instead we get a bunch of Sue, who has been the cancer of this season, and Sue and Will, and Sue and becky... pointless songs, pointless everything. I haven't even liked the music this season and the finale was no different. I liked Rachel winning a Tony and marrying Jesse (I actually wanted that ending even before Finn died), but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on being a surrogate to Klaine. Because, lmao that is what a 24 year old does at the height of her career, specially when her career depends so much on looks and performing. I felt nothing when the auditorium was named after Finn, or when Mckinley became an arts school or when Mercedes left to go with Beyonce. Nothing, nothing. I think I only got a smile at Artie and Tina ending together. 2009 was at least cute because of seeing them back in the beginning, but it was boring too. this was just a bloody mess that I want to get out of my memory.
  13. I thought that, too. I kept thinking the same thing. I hoped the baby had been growing because it was supposed to be like a day old when Sarah became immortal, and that baby was at least a few months old. But Amy's speech about the jar not working because babies grow implied that Sarah's baby won't grow. It's inhumane to keep a baby stuck in a jar like that. What exactly is Sarah's plan? I don't like Amy. I don't mind that she's bad, but she's just not a charismatic character. And the actress doesn't help.
  14. Did Jane Lynch bribe someone? Is that what's happening? So much fucking SUE. STOP. I thought the ND performances were surprisingly good, but we have seen the same episode a million times by now. So meh. And fuck Sue.

    I thought Glenn and his crew had the right idea. All they had to do was be quiet, go in and out. The problem was the idiot sons of Deanna, first detonating the bomb and releasing the walkers inside, and then trying to go out the front door to the parking full of walkers.
  16. Fucking hell, stop with all the Sue!!!!! And the season actually started a bit decent, they had to ruin it.

    Nah. She was already feeling uncomfortable with putting Rick's group in so many positions of power, so that asshole's words coupled with her son's death is going to make her even more against Rick's group too. A true leader would step aside and let the more capable one take charge, specially considering that they're at the end of the world, but she won't, just like her imbecile sons didn't even though they had already gotten people killed. I've been fucking hating father stupid since his first episode, now I hate him even more. Augh. Poor Noah. Go Eugene! Poor Tara, I hope she makes it.
  18. OMG I had come to say that he looked like 27. Wow. Anyway, this was a boring pointless episode. And I don't understand what is the obsession with Sue given that this is the last season of the show. Fuck Sue.
  19. The Vocal Adrenaline kids all look like 27 years old. It's really distracting. And the leader is a really terrible actor. Well this episode was really boring.
  20. I think either Caleb just doesn't want to see himself as the bad guy and though he was older he was a teen then too, or he totally knows it was rape, but wants to win Dylan over and placing some responsibility on Norma and the situation helps.
  21. It was! Best tv proposal I have seen . I would have said yes too, but to save him the embarrassment in front of all those people.
  22. Norma is a really problematic woman, but I've always felt that the rape/incest story was the one thing she was completely honest about. She seemed so raw about it. The actress really sold it like that to me. So the compromise of the two points of view that works for me is that Caleb was so fucked up at the time that he thought she was into it, but she wasn't and felt scared and coerced because he was her big brother. I don't remember how much older Caleb is, but if he was too much older than her and/or she was just too young it would've been considered rape either way, I think. The one thing I don't want is the show to twist things around and make Norma the bad guy, that it was all consensual and she lied about that, or she seduced him and is now trying to pin it all on him or something. No thank you.
  23. Yes, but this episode felt like creepy rapist Norman 90% of the time, and it was too much for me. It will kill my interest in him if they go that way, the same way that it would kill my interest in Norma if, say, she became emotionally abusive all the time and we no longer saw her try to be a good mom or how broken she is because she came from such a fucked up family. I think they did say that the preview was during The Returned. They said it during TR commercials, didn't they? I think so. THIS.
  24. This totally reminded me of a South Park episode. Some dog trainer comes and trains Eric to be obedient. Everything starts to go right: he starts doing chores, losing weight, doing well in school.... until the trainer leaves and his mom starts to feel lonely again and using him to fill her void. That was pretty much the same thing. I don't think Norma had to be necessarily lying. In Caleb's mind it could've been consensual, but it was not for Norma, specially if she was younger than him. Maybe to him she was into it too, but in reality she was just too afraid and felt abused.
