Glee Season Three on Sky

[Mr.Lavigne]

Auditions.

It was an excellent, confident return to Glee. Starting off with a video montage updating us on what happened over the summer gave them a chance to take the piss out of the critics questions over the show. Asking Lea Michele "are you difficult to work with", shows that she is either pretty stupid, or, and this is most likely, she isn't difficult at all to work with, and they are showing that by sending it up. We learn of the departure of Asian (or is it Other Asian?), that Mike and Tina are now together (poor Artie), that Rachel and Finn are in love and will never leave each other (how many episodes will that last for?), and that Kurt is still getting slushied.
The new teacher in town was a bit of a weird one. In some scenes we are clearly supposed to feel sorry for her, but in others she was so horrible that you didn't want to feel sorry for her again. It was good to see Will and Sue team up over something.

Sunshine was fantastic, and her vocals on her song Listen were phenomonal. Reminded me of Mercedes' solo in the Sectionals episode. I can see why Rachel was worried about her. I did enjoy their Telephone sing-off, and it was hilariously interrupted by Sue, maybe a little too early as I wanted to hear more. Empire State Of Mind was a bit tacky, but was well staged. After hearing Sunshine's solo it was great to hear Rachel do one too - after the great "new" voice of the new kid, it was brilliant to go back to something more comfortable (and let's face it, better). She did some *GREAT* Rachel faces as well. The other new kid - good voice, and looking forward to seeing some more from him.

And so Rachel messed up, sent the new girl to a crack house, and she defected and joined Vocal Adrenaline. Good, as we will now see more of her at some point, but bad because New Directions probably won't win again.

Good for Quinn to be back in the Cheerios, she clearly loved putting the uniform back on, and the fight between her and Santana was brilliant and actually a little brutal. Breast implants? Really? And Brittany, in what little she had to do, was of course funny. "People though I went on vacation this summer, but I was lost in the sewers". She really is great.
So glad it's back.

For some reason this episode didn't really click with me. Perhaps it was because I didn't like any of the songs in it (or even recognise some of them), I'm not sure.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but not as much as Season 1. Still, it's only the first episode. I did like the new teacher, Coach Beiste, and it was fun seeing Will and Sue working together, although I really wanted to slap him when he wouldn't let her sit down at lunch.

Brittany was, as ever, hilarious.

[Moloch]

Yeah, I felt much the same.

It was as good as always but it just felt like it was going through the same motions. No-one new got into the glee club at the end anyway so it felt like a bit of a waste. Loved the opening though.

Baffling video of the day/week/year:

3 Minutes - a gritty thriller with a surprising SFX-relevant development starring Harry Shum Jr., glee's Mike Chang.

It's... interesting.

I have to say that Brittany has to be just about my favorite character in a way, because just about everything she says is worth hearing, as its almost always funny, and some of the stuff she says like the lost in the sewers bit, you can just imagine her doing that somehow, though why she was down there, is likely to be a mystery even to her.

Oh and on a side note, does anyone know if the one who plays Brittany, is related to the woman who plays the part of Parker in Leverage, as they look kinda alike to me, Maybe sisters or something.

I doubt that. The woman who plays Parker is the youngest child in her family, and was born in 1978, whilst Heather Morris was born in '87. But they do look similar

Cool, thanks for the info, as it was bugging me not knowing for sure. :-)

Great to see the show picking up some awards at the Golden Globes last night in the TV Musical or Comedy category - Best Series, Best Supporting Actress (Jane Lynch) and Best Supporting Actor (Chris Colfer). All well deserved.

The start of season 2 was not a great restart to the series. Too much positioning and not enough plot on its own. Even the tracks were lacklustre. Luckily it improves from this point.
