Glee - "Vitamin D" 10/07/09

[TriBruin]

Well, considering a majority of the story line revolved around Terri, I didn't find this episode to be too bad. Wasn't my favorite of the season, but it was OK.

I liked the interaction between Rachel and Quinn and then Quinn's comments to Terri ("I like Glee"). The mash-up were fun, but I felt I was going to be sick watching the girls.

Although it is a terrible story line, I almost can't wait to see how they expect to pull off Quinn giving the baby to Terri and Terri pretending to give birth. Terri is a bit of psycho.

Poor Emma, her "puppy dog eye" look was even worse this week. She knows she can't have the man she loves so is willing to settle in to a convenent marriage?

[billypritchard]

I really liked Quinn in this episode.

But only two songs? C'mon! More Sue was good, but I'd like at least one more performance too.

Poor Howard. Knew he was going down when Terri asked for 36 boxes.

I like that the show makes Ken a really good guy. He's not right for Emma, but not because he's a jerk or anything. Everyone so far has shades of gray to them, even Finn now after his mean handling of Rachel last episode.

[ElJay]

The situation with Emma makes no sense to me at all. I don't understand her motivations for doing this. She wants to be married for what reason exactly?

This has to be about the most tumultuous high school glee club on earth. Hopefully Quinn doesn't have the baby at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital or else there will likely be a shift in the earth's gravitational field. Other shows seem to survive with a few episodes of "normalcy" here and there... I hope this show can accommodate more of that soon. The writers seem to have gone through about three seasons worth of shakeups in just a few episodes.

I think this is the first time I've heard "Break My Stride" in a decade.

[LoadStar]

The song the guys did worked way, way better than the one that the girls did. I felt like I was on speed after the girls performed. (For humor, if you've still got the episode on your TiVo, go back and watch theirs on 1x FF.)

[Mars Rocket]

I agree, the guys song was much better. Terri is a groan-inducing character, and the earlier she departs the show the better.Or at least they need to address the fake pregnancy - Will believing in that is beyond ridiculous.

I'm impressed with how they're developing Quinn as a character.

[whitson77]

Glee starting to Fail? I sure hope not but I think so. Some funny parts, but the luster is off the show and I blame the terrible marriage plot line and pregnancy parts. Can we please move away from this ASAP?

[Ment]

This was the best EP since the pilot for me. Love mash-ups. The guys version was definitely better.

There's going to be a run on cold medicine... :)

[DevdogAZ]

I thought the mash-ups were both great, but the rest of the storyline was ridiculous, and I was surprised there were only two songs. However, I prefer two good songs rather than one good one and two or three horrible ones like the broken windshield or "Push It."

[Cainebj]

I'm still trying to figure out since last week who the heck the 2 new Glee guys are: one black one asian.

At least the new girls are all Cheerios and were explained. The new guys? Huh? Did i miss it?

[pex]

The Asian guy had a couple of cool dance moves of the moonwalk variety, too. Not a moonwalk per se, but more of a "how the heck did he do that?" Check it out during the guy's mashup.

What was will the doubletake look by Will towards Emma near the end of the show after she announces she is getting married. Is this supposed to mean that Will has feelings for Emma?

This season pass is dangling by a thread. The premise is unique, but it seems more suited to be a half-hour show.

They're from the football team. They joined at the end of the episode that had the football team dancing to Beyonce's song.

I really liked Quinn in this episode.




I'm impressed with how they're developing Quinn as a character.

I'm waiting for Quinn to break out as second female lead in Glee Club. I think it will eventually happen, and she and Rachel will be "rivals". Hopefully, they will be friendly ones, as it would be good for the club.

Yup, he was awesome. He was in sort of a pushup/mountain climber position and then came up to standing position pushing himself up WITH THE TOPS OF HIS FEET. That was impressive.

I was wondering about that. I noticed last week that she has mostly been in background. The only times I have seen her in the foreground was when the three Cheerios tried out for Glee and her quick lead in Don't Stop Believing when Rachel left Glee.

I wonder if the actress doesn't have as good a voice as Michele Lea (who has a great voice.)

Well, he's a dancer. No surprise. His name is Harry Shum, Jr., and he's all over youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXBCFkWZsgU). Great move though. I watched it in slow motion and am still not sure how he did it. He does another move later in the mashup where he somehow gets up from the floor in a way that makes you go "huh?"

[FourFourSeven]

The fake pregnancy storyline needs to end. Now. It's dragging down the entire show. And frankly, the Terri character doesn't add much to the show with the way she is written. They already have a good humorous "villain" in the Sue character.

I don't mind the Quinn pregnancy storyline - they actually had a really nice moment between her and Rachel.

[thudtrain]

The two non-Quinn Cheerios and the two non-Puck football players seem to be there just to be dancers. All four of them are awesome.

I didn't say I was surprised, I said I was impressed. It's obvious his entire job on the show is to dance, if he could act, they'd give him a speaking part. Right now he's a featured extra, they don't have to pay him as much.

They lost me tonight. SP cancelled.

The pregnancy subplot is just too stupid for words. The music is still way too slick, and the lip syncing was even more horrendous than last week.

Even Jane Lynch can't keep me watching this any longer. I'll wait for her occasional cameo on Two and a Half Men.

I'm out - enjoy!

[Queue]

For the most part I FF through the show to get to the songs, listen to them, the FF more.

I really enjoyed the pilot though.

Hah, I'm the opposite. I missed the last few episodes, but my friends keep bugging me to watch it. I can't stand the music of it, but like the one liners.

"Mentally ill ginger pygmy with eyes like a bush baby" was hilarious.

[IndyJones1023]

Hopefully Teri gets hit by a car next week. Otherwise, still enjoying the show.

[Ruth]

I actually thought Terri (Teri? Terry?) was a lot more tolerable when placed in the school. The home scenes with just her and Will are just painful. At least she got to interact with some of the other characters and did something other than pretend to be pregnant. And, while completely unrealistic, the sudafed storyline was amusing and had some funny moments.

Agree with everyone about the horrible pregnancy storyline. When you find out you are having a hysterical pregnancy, you just pretend to miscarry, not try to steal a baby from a cheerleader and hope nobody notices. :rolleyes:

[alpacaboy]

I thought it was hilarious that she was prescribing Pseudoephedrine as the solution to everything, and just had the full conviction and authority, "I'm a nurse." That had me cracking up - really LOL!

[Robin]

What was will the doubletake look by Will towards Emma near the end of the show after she announces she is getting married. Is this supposed to mean that Will has feelings for Emma?


If you're just now noticing Will has feelings for Emma you've been watching some other show.


"Mentally ill ginger pygmy with eyes like a bush baby" was hilarious.

SO glad to have someone acknowledge the crazy eyes!

Except she thinks the pregnancy is the only thing keeping Will around. First she tried to get pregnant for real (remember "what are you trying to do, make a twin?!") so now she's trying this. It's odd, and somewhat annoying, but I'm hoping they'll go somewhere fun with it. They're clearly not trying to make them look the "same amount" pregnant, so they've got to address the 3/4m discrepancy in due dates here pretty soon.

She wasn't prescribing it, it's over the counter! So it's safe! :D

[Ben_Jamin75]

She wasn't prescribing it, it's over the counter! So it's safe! :D

But it's not truly "over the counter", at least not in Ohio, it's behind the pharmacy counter. You don't need a prescription, but you have to show ID and sign for it. ;) :rolleyes:

Maybe it's a guy thing. Or maybe it's all so cartoony I don't dip too deep into the relationships. That said, I've only noticed the Emma -->Will attraction, not the other way around.

[bengalfreak]

Wow, I can't believe all of the negative comments. I think Glee is the best new show of the season. Once you accept that the entire concept is outrageous as well as ridiculous, its just nothing but fun.

[verdugan]

No, it's not a guy thing. It's been pretty obvious that Will also has feelings for Emma.

[Fixer]

Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) getting the the kids hopped up on Sudafed was hilarious!! The "Preggers" ep left me feeling disappointed, but the last two weeks have been great. :up:

I get the impression that both of the extra football players are dancers and will be front and center during dance breaks. :)

I also think I recognize the taller blonde cheerleader (Heather Elizabeth Morris) from doing some backup dance work for Christina Aguilera or somebody.
