Glee - Throwdown

Glee - Season 1, Episode 7: "Throwdown". Original air date: 14 Oct 09.

In this episode, Sue is still on a war path to destroy Glee Club from the inside out. She separates the group and takes all the minorities under her wing, leaving Shu with the well-adjusted white kids. They're at war. Sue gives her group an R&B song, and, oh yay, Mercedes has a song! She never gets to sing, but she has a great voice.

For retribution, Will flunks Sue's Cheerios. He says that "Most of your Cheerios are functionally illiterate!" [To which she replies "So what?!"]. With them failing Spanish, they can't be on the cheer team. Uh-ohh... Sue's going mad, but the principal shuts her down. He says that he doesn't care about her bribe and that she's being crazy and it's time to stop.

Meanwhile, at home, Teri's baby is *gasp* still not there. Except one little problem: Quinn's baby is a girl, but Teri promised Will a boy. Furthermore, Will really wants to go to Teri's next doctor appointment; he wants to be involved in his kid's life from the start, so he schedules an appointment. What will Teri do? Well, she bribes the doctor to fake an ultrasound and say that he made a mistake in the initial reading, and that the kid is a girl. That scene in the office was funny, and at the end, it was very touching, when Will started crying with joy.

The dorky boy who runs a gossip blog is threatening to run a story about Quinn, Finn, and Rachel, unless Rachel gives him a pair of her panties. To save herself and them, she complies. But, thanks to Sue, he runs it any way. The end was really touching, though. There was a scene in which Rachel told Quinn that, even though they're 'enemies' she's there for her. Then, there was a group number, and it was very sweet.

Gripe? They shouldn't use auto-tune on songs that are supposed to be "live". It makes the lip-sync even more unconvincing. And a cappella and glee groups are supposed to be about the natural, fresh sound. And I hate the way that in a show about high school, if you're a cheerleader, you wear your uniform 24/7. Seriously?

Some fun quotes:
"This meeting doesn't end until I see bodies touching."
"Let me break it down for youuu: NOBODY CARES!"
"...but that's no excuse for treating you like some half-priced hooker in Amsterdam's red light district."


Oh, and hey! You might notice that this doesn't have the "I should be Studying" tag! That's because I actually finished all my homework before dinner and have absolutely nothing to do, yay!

Coming Soon: Two episodes of Fringe, House, Castle, and Heroes!
