I see they have the gay/nerd/band geek demo all locked up.

Let's not.

Does it have the two lezzie cheerleaders getting it on in full Slave Princess Leia gear? Are their Ewoks involved in said scene? If not, then no.

Watch Glee

No.

Pretty good episode but there were disappointingly few Star Wars references. I think this will be on hulu next Wednesday.

They managed to out bad The Star Wars Christmas special. Now that takes talent!

Happy Lifeday!

Did Chewbacca tear off their arms and use them to beat the cast to death?

Didn't a bunch of high schoolers do Star Wars The Musical back in the 90s?

Link with terrible audio, sadly (new window)

Are the Glee writers really so out of touch that they believe that geeks actually like the Star Wars Christmas special or was wheelchair boy trying to ruin Christmas on purpose?

Someone go get Mike,Kevin, and Bill.

They had a field day with the original, a glee version just makes it easier to riff.

That's gayer than Liberace buying chintz curtains at Home Goods.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Last week's Community is the closest thing to a Glee Christmas Special I'll ever watch.

And it was beautiful.

Quasar: If you watch Glee, odds are you're not the kind of person to be that crazy about Star Wars.

I like Glee, or at least I used to until Ryan Murphy got his head so far up his ass with stupid story ideas that he ruined it.

I like Star Wars, or at least I used to until George Lucas got his head so far up ass his with stupid story ideas that he ruined it.

Sounds like a match to me.

At least you are gay man with priorities. This show is just awful. Doesn't matter if the person who watches it is gay/bi/les/tranny/straight.

Glee is gayer than 9 dudes blowing 10 dudes.
So gay that drag queens say, "Hey, tone it down, will ya?"
So flaming that it puts the sun to shame.

Hopefully you watch it on TiVO, on mute, so that you don't have to hear any of them and just watch the scenes with her, moving back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth...

I haven't seen the episode yet but chances are there were probably a couple lines thrown at him about how ass numbingly bad it was. Or he was strictly speculating because he didn't want to sully his first time viewing it via a torrented bootleg and is awaiting the inevitable BlueRay to come out.

If you're not comfortable enough with your heterosexuality and afraid Glee might awaken something within you, then don't watch.
Me? Married for 22 years, 3 kids and Ya, I watch it.
In fact, Season 2's "Sue the Grinch" musical number was one of the funniest frickin' things I've seen on TV.

/by the way, the gay kid should learn to blink more.

Naw, he's apparently seen it and thought it was awesome. Every episode is loaded with pop culture references and this one is no different. The "regular" show is in color and pretty standard for the series. The "special" is in black and white and is done as a "Welcome to our home, come on in and sing some songs" show of decades past.



I think the show in general works as a comedy most of the time and as a musical half the time and I especially enjoyed Chenoweth and Paltrow's appearances. You guys poking your heads in and yelling "Gay!" just sound sweaty and nervous.

/straight and The Music Man is one of my favorite movies

I think what he's addressing are the "OMG i hate this gay show so much it's gay gay I hate it gay if you watch this show you're gay hate take this gay show I hate off the air now" crowd.

If you don't like it 'cuz you just don't like it, then....you don't like it.

To be fair, the constant ridiculous harping on the "being gay is just so hard" storylines is one of the reasons the show stopped being fun to watch after the first half-season or so. I mean, I know the writers are being intentionally ridiculous (and making fun of the "very special episode" terribleness from the 90s), but some of the producers and actors seem to actually take it seriously, which gives it a whole "60-year-old cigar-smoking white 1%er in a suit taking a guess at what middle-class young people's troubles are these days" vibe that's kind of painful to watch.

It's also sort of emblematic of them running out of ideas really fast. Had it been a half-season show it would have been moderately brilliant parody. As an ongoing multi-season endeavor it's just mediocre, which in many ways is worse than actually being straight-up bad.

Car_Ramrod: Last week's Community is the closest thing to a Glee Christmas Special I'll ever watch.

Came in to say pretty much the same thing. It's as though Glee is trying to get back at Community (or at least Abed) for one-upping them last week. Hell, two-upping, or more, depending on how high the upping can go.

Does it have a coked up Carrie Fisher? No?

Pass.

I'm soiled.

That's been a huge problem for me as well and exactly what I meant when I said earlier about Ryan Murphy having his head up his ass. Kurt is his Mary Sue* and he has blinded himself to how obnoxious the character has become. The scuttlebutt is that the other writers have had to intervene, against his protest, and lampshade* complaints people had about the show. Which is why early in season two, everybody conveniently remember that Kurt's behavior in the second part of season one was highly inappropriate.

But then Murphy found a whole new way to make Kurt insufferable by introducing the Arnofsky character. Kurt became the perpetual victim and went from being one of my favorite characters to squirm-inducing everytime he is on the screen. Chris Colfer's over-emoting doesn't help, but I place most of the blame on Murphy.

The terms "Star Wars" and "Holiday Special" have historically not played well together.

Rachel's invisible dads have enough money to build her a whole stage setup in the basement of their house, Santana's father is supposed to be some sort of doctor, Quinn has really rich parents, Kurt's dad may not be rich but he owns his own business and had enough money that Kurt had a late model SUV season one. Other than Sam, there's no indication that any of them are actually poor, except for maybe Finn before his mom married Kurt's dad.

By Hollywood standards, that is poor.

Kinda like how by Hollywood standards, Kate Winslet is fat and Rachel Leigh Cook in glasses is a hideous geek.

Yeah, but in the tv universe people are average until they're specified as well off which Quinn was until she went to live with Mercedes. Is she back home now?

Singing a charity song to the people you're charitizing is fairly crass, though.

No, but she played the Grinch in last year's Xmas episode, which I think is being rerun Tuesday.

Me? Married with kids, don't watch it. Loved Phantom and Technicolor Dreamcoat as a kid, took the wife to see Wicked as an anniversary present, so no issues with it "awakening something within [me]." It just looks farking stupid. Top it off with the primadonna douchebag antics of the show's creator that I see pop up from time to time on Fark, and its fate is sealed as far as me watching it (i.e. never gonna happen).

Lucas and all the super star wars fans ruined Star Wars for me in 1997.
