TV Review: Glee "Furt" - Page 3

Part of: Gleekonomics

Finn's song to Kurt, "Just the Way You Are" (another song I don't like that Glee has improved measurably) was certainly a high point, as was the ceremony song with the kids and Burt dancing down the aisle. Yeah, Carole danced, too, but she wasn't having as much fun as the rest of them, especially Burt. It was a long wait last night for a couple of good songs, but they finally arrived.

One last night, the official proclamation of Sam and Quinn's (Dianna Agron) relationship was expected, but wonderful. However, now practically everyone in the club has paired up except for best buds Kurt and Mercedes (Amber Riley). Not only is that unnatural, though predictable for a TV show, but it leaves poor Mercedes out in the cold! As much as I love Kurt's beefed up role this fall, I think come winter it should be the Season of Mercedes! Who's with me?

Quick trivia! I could be wrong, but was Kurt wearing that huge airplane broach on his sweater in the principal's office scene a homage to Lost? The man playing Karofsky's father, Daniel Roebuck, was a small, but important, presence to the now-ended ABC drama. Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but it tickled me. Why else would Kurt wear it? It looked a bit out of place.

Glee airs Tuesday nights at 8pm on FOX. Next week is Sectionals, and we're almost done with this batch of episodes. The show won't be back until February, so make sure you don't miss it!

    The plane might have been a homage to Lost. Did you notice the other reference to Lost at the very beginning. When Kurt's dad was talking about plans for the honeymoon, he said they were going to Wakiki and staying in the hotel where they put up the guest stars from Lost. Since Daniel Robuck was only in a handful of episodes, he probably was one of them.

    Thanks for the recap. We don't have Fox here in American Samoa and so I live Glee through reviews. Our internet connection is really slow here so it takes at least a day to download an ep off of iTunes.
    I agree though. Kurt told Blaine no one was noticing his harassment at school and now that everyone is, he ups and leaves. I'll miss him within the club but I also don't think he'll be gone from Mckinley too long.
    I've always been a fan of Finn. He's basically a good kid. It's funny how he can call Rachel and Kurt out when they're wrong but sometimes can't see it when he is. Speaking of which, looks like Santana will be brewing trouble. I hope Finchel survives. They're fun to watch. The same goes with Tina/Mike and now Artie/Brittany. Duets has been one of my favorite episodes this season.

    I would agree that if any moment has arrived when you might consider McKinley's halls a zone of safety, it was the wedding and Finn's declaration that he and Kurt were, indeed, brothers.

    And this is a huge step back from the Kurt who yelled "what is your problem" repeatedly just two weeks ago, and basically pushed Karofsky into a position of emotional vulnerability and desperation.

    Soooo...we're supposed to forget that part?

    I love your attention to the LOST details here. I hadn't thought of any of that.

    too much kurt, he is the only character that have a plot this season, the others just say or do something to make his storyline work. i loved kurt first season, a normal human good and flaws, but now he is the saint perfect victim, his is pushy, mean and manipulative, but no is cute because is him.
    the wedding was like kurt sweet 16, what was missing was kurt in a pink dress, the speech was about kurt, the music, the toast, the hooney moon money, everything.
    this season is a mess because they are pushing kurt dow everybody throat as the new mesias, i'm sorry bullying is awful but gay bullying is not the only kind on the world, even in the show.
    i love kurt(season 1 kurt witty and all, no victim and saint season 2), but i love the others too.
