That was our reaction, too! Joel thought it was a little messed up that he was making out with a girl who looked so much like his student! lol

There's more going on here than Idina being Rachel's mom. She's totally going to use it to sabotage new directions.

Or, I can see Rachel going into one of her little snits and quitting New Directions and running to Mommy and Vocal Adrenaline.

Hmm, I can totally see that happening in the season finale.

Although, since I love Idina, I want to give her character the "benefit of the doubt". LOL.

That's my suspicion.

I read online in the new EW (which I sooo need to go buy), the show doesn't end its season until June 8, so we've got at three more episodes.

(again, sorry if this was already discussed. I admittedly did not go back to read what was already written.)
It's funny figuring out that I was totally wrong about this! (I mean, I guess there could still be a major plot twist...)

...I just got to watch the episode on hulu tonight. It's been a rough semester

So according to EW, Jonathon Groff is gay and Time criticized Glee because they didn't believe him as "heterosexual".

Thing is, I didn't have a frickin clue that he is gay (not that it would matter anyways). He seemed to play it so well. I'm sure it had more to do with the fact that he was making out with Lea, who he macked on in Spring Awakening. Obviously the stupid writer from Time didn't pick up on that.

I also read that next years season finale ends with Nationals, which will be in NYC. They haven't decided whether New Directions will make Nationals or not. They (the producers/writers) tried to be all like "well we don't know what will happen next season. Will new directions be around?". I guess it would defeat the purpose of the show of New Directions gets cancelled (like Figgins said it would be if they didn't win Regionals). Shue isn't like Sue, willing to blackmail to get his way.

Wow, that scene with Finn and Kurt's dad is INTENSE! I love that he is sticking up for Kurt! I thought kicking Finn out was a little extreme after the fact, but he was saying some extremely offensive things to Kurt.

That was the best scene of the show so far, IMO.

It was awesome!

Thank you to Ryan Murphy for having Idina sing a solo and then having her sing Poker Face with Lea!!! (I bow down to Ryan Murphy)

And seriously, the resemblence between Idina and Lea is frickin uncanny. It was weird watching them sing, I was like "you sure you two not related in real life, like distant cousins".

Kurt's dad is my favorite character and I think he's a great example of parenting (even though it's just tv). He's the kind of parent I want to be when I have kids. Just, balanced, and ultra accepting and protective when necessary.

I don't think kicking him out was too serious (although I understand what you mean) but at the end of the day he was protecting his house as somewhere safe for his son under all circumstances.

Didn't you LOVE his brutal honesty!? Telling Finn that he was the same way as a kid, he used to call guys "fag" and he didn't think anything of it. He didn't even really know what it meant. But NOW he knows he was wrong.

I was the same way in high school. That was one of the words that I used to describe anyone I didn't like and I called everyTHING I didn't like "gay". Of course I now know the error of my ways (like Kurts dad) and I applaud him so much for being able to be so honest. If he would have said "I always knew not to call people that" it would not have been nearly as powerful.

Its a lot more than making out on stage. Its intense.



I love Kurts dad. He needs to teach parenting courses cause he is my favorite dad of all time. They need to redo that "best dads" vote cause he would make the list.

Other than the scene between Kurt, his dad and Finn, and "Beth" (because I love that song), I pretty much thought tonight's show was disappointing. The Rachel-VA Coach storyline is weird, I thought Poker Face was WEIRDER, and I'm getting reallly tired of the whole "Glee club is for geeks" storyline, because at my school the kids in show choir were actually popular! And could they write Mr. Shu any squarer? That clapping in the boys' restroom was so cliche that I thought he was joking!

This show is so uneven. They do an amazing show like last week, and the one a few weeks ago with April, then a "filler" one like this.

I thought the same thing!!! The physical pairing couldn't have been any more awesome!

I wasn't a face of Poker Face until tonight. That was an awesome version and I'm glad I kept myself from listening to it early (it was leaked on YT last week). My heart broke for Lea, but the scene where they were sitting in seperate rows was great. "The way we're seated is so dramatic but we're both totally comfortable with it."
