A Golden Globes Recap

Well, being the middle of January you know what time it is... Awards Season! *applause* I have to be honest, I didn't get to see most of the movies or even hear about them so I really didn't care who won other than Glee. I was really just watching it because Ricky Gervais was hosting and he is really funny. Although, he is supposedly not allowed to host anymore because of his jokes. I thought they were pretty funny.


Here's a list of the big winners from Sunday night.
  • Cecil B. DeMille Award-  Robert DeNiro
  • Best Movie, Drama- The Social Network
  • Best Movie, Comedy/Musical- The Kids Are Alright
  • Best Actress, Drama- Natalie Portman (Black Swan)
  • Best Actor, Drama- Colin Firth (The King's Speech)
  • Best Actress, Comedy/Musical- Annette Benning (The Kids Are Alright)
  • Best Actor, Comedy/Musical- Paul Giamatti (Barney's Version)
  • Best Animated Movie- Toy Story 3
  • Best TV Series, Drama- Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
  • Best TV Series, Comedy/Musical- Glee (Fox)
  • Best Mini-Series/Made-for-TV Movie- Carlos (Sundance Channel)

And I can't do an Award Show recap without talking about the fashion. Here's my three best and three worst looks from the night.

A Very Glee Christmas



The only part of the storyline that wasn't addressed in this is the official end of Finnchel. While Finn and Rachel are on the hunt for a new tree after Sue chopped theirs to bits, Rachel tries yet again to apologize. Finn decides that time is what will heal their relationship and officially breaks up with her. My heart was breaking the whole time but at the very end of the episode, the way they were looking at each other was the glimmer of hope that all us Finnchel 'shippers needed to survive through the hiatus.

December 6 - December 10 Shows

*This week, we have a lot of "Last new episode for a while" happening. Shows in which this will be occurring will be BOLD

Glee: Finn tries to bring a little Christmas spirit and Sue tries to rig the secret Santa. Dramalicious!

OTH: A hurricane hits Tree Hill and Brooke's life is in danger. Clay's creepy stalker that looks like his dead wife returns to terrorize Quinn.

16&Pregnant: I haven't seen a whole lot of what Kayla's story will cover, but she does like horses and her love seems to be a nice guy.

Special Education (Glee) Overview

Sectionals here we come! Ok this episode was a very good exposé of the self-centered collective of people that New Directions has become this season. In switching up the typical set list of a Finnchel duet, Rachel solo and then upbeat group number the group was thrown  into a tailspin. Everyone was so worried about whether or not they'd be singing the solos that they forgot their purpose of being a team.

Santana, without reservations, finally revealed the truth of her and Finn's relations to Rachel. It's been a long time coming and we knew it had to be addressed but I wasn't looking forward to it. I am so in love with Finn and Rachel together but Rachel has become a mega-diva drama queen this season. I think their win at sectionals last year and the realization that she is one of the bigger stars of the group has gone to her head. They went to go see Emma in attempt to fix the cracks but when Rachel tells Finn that she made out with Puck to get back at him later in the episode, he breaks it off. Though I am heartbroken, it's for a good cause. To me their relationship has been just a little too good to be true so far and this was a good dose of reality. I don't anticipate it lasting long because of the way they were looking at each other during "Dog Days Are Over" (LOVE LOVE LOVE). They obviously love each other and their feelings are not just going to go away. *See season one*

In happier news, for some, Carl and Emma got married! They went to Vegas and got hitched while the club was away at sectionals. Obviously, Mr. Schue is not in love with this event but I think the Wemma ship has sailed. I mean, they are total opposites and while that screams "let's be together" to most people, I am not sold on why they like each other. It vaguely reminds me of Twilight. Eww, I just made a Twilight reference.

In any event, at sectionals the solo went to Santana with a lovely cover of "Valerie", a song I have never heard of but really like. The show opened with a very cute Sam+Quinn duet of "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life". Basically the same choreography of Finn+Rachel's "Faithfully" from regionals last season but who really notices that. During Santana's solo, Brittany and Mike got to stand in the spotlight with a very large dance number. The Warblers did a cover of "Hey, Soul Sister" which I think I would've enjoyed more if I hadn't played that song a hundred times for marching band. The show resulted in a tie between the two clubs which means they will both be going to regionals. Which makes sense so that Kurt will also get to go. Maybe by then he'll transfer back to McKinley.

November 30 through December 5

Glee: Sectionals this week! The club competes against the Dalton Academy Warblers (of which Kurt is now a member) and The Hipsters (old people who are trying to get their GED). Emma and Carl grow closer but some couples hit rough patches.

16&Pregnant: Christinna and her (maybe) baby daddy Isiah have drama over whether or not he is the father and being newlyweds.

OTH: Brooke and Julian go skydiving, while Haley sets up a concert at Tric featuring Kid Cudi. Meanwhile, Quinn sneaks out of town to visit a familiar face.

ANTM: It's finale time! Ann and Chelsey (my pick to win) face off in a Roberto Cavalli runway show.

*Soon, most of these shows will either be over or on hiatus so this may be a little empty in the coming weeks*

Furt (Glee) Overview

Wedding bells are ringing! Burt and Carole are getting married! They told Finn in the middle of the hallway with Kurt in tow. Kurt takes it upon himself to plan out the whole thing and enlists New Directions to be the entertainment. Sue has also decided that she is going to marry herself. And officiate the ceremony. All at the same time. Yeah, I don't know how that's supposed to work either. Sam decided that he is in love with Quinn and gave her a promise ring. At first she didn't except, but he is waay too cute to say no to. But more on that later.

Sue's Nazi hunting mother returns home for her daughter's "wedding" and tries to make amends for being an absentee parent to both Sue and her sister, Jean. Sue attempts to reconcile, but Doris is continuously being critical to Sue. She eventually calls her a bully and disinvites her to the wedding while it is taking place.

Karofsky is still terrorizing Kurt so Rachel enlists the glee girls' football-playing boyfriends to confront him. Finn and Puck do not participate in said confrontation. Finn's reason is that he would like to continue winning football games and if Karofsky is mad at him, he'll get sacked on just about every play. Puck's is a little less self-centered in that he really doesn't want to go back to juvie. When Kurt and Karfsky (and their dads) meet with Sue to discuss the situation and the punishment, Sue says that the only thing that the school board can do is give him a verbal warning. Kurt is not satisfied with this and announces that he is going to transfer to Dalton Academy (where Blaine goes). Quinn is impressed with Sam's bravery and that is when she accepts his promise ring.

Finn is concerned with his dwindling popularity so Santana's tells him that he should just tell people about their secret (he lost his virginity to her back in season 1). He refuses to do so after learning that Rachel never slept with Jesse (also season 1) and telling her the truth would break her heart. At the wedding, He uses his best man speech to apologize to Kurt for not standing up for him. He vows that from now on, a new union has been formed, Furt (combo of their names), and that he will always be there for him.

Thanksgiving Week Previews

House: Science and faith are called into question when a patient is admitted to the hospital following his reenactment of the Crucifixion. The patient, Ramon Silva, refuses to undergo the prescribed treatment, and the team learns that after his daughter's cancer was cured, he pledged an oath of self-sacrifice to God. With little time to save Ramon's life, the team struggles to understand his reasoning and seemingly extreme religious convictions, but eventually learn that faith is not an argument.

Glee: Carole and Burt are getting married! Also, Sue's Nazi hunting mother returns home to pay a surprise visit to her daughter.

OTH: No new episode. But, they did get picked up for a full season!

ANTM: This week ANTM is doing a recap of all the most memorable moments so far this season. This is good for me since I have missed just about every episode due to work. Next week is the finale!

Friday Night Lights: I will also be home in time to watch this as well. I have to say, FNL is one of my favorite shows. Watching it reminds me how much I love the atmosphere that comes with a good football team and I hate that I have missed so much of it. There is no information anywhere on the web because it's exclusively on DirecTV right now. But, that means no commercials for me :)

I will actually be home in time to watch all of these so I will have a busy couple days posting their recaps. Thankfully, we break for the holidays tomorrow so I will have more time that I usually do.

The Substitute (Glee) Overview

Well in the spirit of flu season, both Figgins and Mr. Schue are both out. The most terrifying part about this is that Sue has been instated as the new principle. The lovely Gwenyth Paltrow is standing in for Schue as Spanish teacher and glee coach. We also see the re-appearance of Terri trying to win Schue back by nursing him back to health

Rachel is trying to take over the glee club in Mr. Schue's absence and Kurt is sick of it. Thus enter Holly Holiday as new glee coach. but not until after she was done talking about Lindsay Lohan and her numerous trips to rehab in Spanish. She changes things up a bit when she asks the kids what songs they want to sing. *Cue very rad performance of Cee Lo Green's "Forget You".*

Sue is using her power to try and disband the football team but after Beiste reminds her that her Cheerios won't have anyone to cheer for, she bans tater-tots instead. *Cut to Mr. Schue performing "Make 'Em Laugh" with Mike Chang in a dream sequence.*

Rachel is not in love with Holly and her teaching methods so she goes to voice her concers to Mr. Schue. Terri has said that she is moving on with her life but she is still trying to get back with Will. In his sickly state, they end up kissing and Terri thinks that it meant something when in reality, it was a mistake.

Kurt is setting Mercedes up on a date so that maybe she will forget about the lack of tots. But she doesnt want a lover, she wants tots. Aparently Rachel didnt hate Holly that much because they did a duet of "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago. *Love* Will returns to school but he is not completely healthy. And Sue fired Figgins! And Will! That leaves Sue as prnciple and Holly as Spanish/glee club teacher. This leads to a throwdown between Holly and Will about how the kids need to be able to express themselves through music.

Mercedes is in trouble for shoving tots up the tailpipe of Sue's Le Car. After careful consideration, Holly goes to visit Will to tell him that she is resigning. They talk about her "no consequences" lifesyle and how that makes her a bad choice as his replacement. Mercedes tags along on Kurt and Blaine's date and is relatively bored. Afterward, Kurt tells Mercedes that she is substituting food for love and Kurt for a boyfriend.

To close the episode, Mr. Schue wants to do a cover of "Singin' In The Rain". The kids are not thrilled with his song choice so he goes to Holly, who is subbing for a history teacher dressed up like Mary Lincoln, to help him modernize it. They end up putting it together with Rhianna's "Umbrella" and the performance was super cool.

November 15-19 Previews

House: After a 200-year-old medicine jar found on an off-shore shipwreck shatters in a teenage girl's palm, she is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro for symptoms closely linked to smallpox.

The girl's father soon experiences similar symptoms, and House is forced to make a precarious decision that puts his own life in jeopardy.

Glee: Gwenyth Paltrow makes a guest appearance as Holly Holiday when Mr. Schue takes a sick day.

Never Been Kissed (Glee) Overview

This episode had an interesting premise. The whole storyline revolved around the glee guys using mental images of coach Beiste in compromising positions to "cool off" whilst making out with their significant others. During one of said make out sessions with Quinn, Sam says Beiste's name which prompts her to think that they are having some sort of relationship. Sue tells Quinn to go public with the news as a double motive. A) to get Beiste fired (which is Sue's ultimate goal this season so far I think) and B) so that Sam will confess and he and Quinn can work it out.

Meanwhile the clubs competition has been announced for sectionals. The all-boys school Dalton Academy and a group of elderly people who are going back to school to get their GEDs. In continuation of the tradition, the boys vs. girls mash-up challenge commences with a little twist. The groups will be singing songs originally performed by groups of the opposite gender. Have to say the girls' was my favorite just because I love both of the songs they put together.

Kurt is getting sick of homophobic Karofsky so he goes to visit Dalton Academy where he meets Blaine, the very out, gay male lead of The Warblers (glee club). He gives him a little bit of inspiration to keep perservering through the bullying from Karofsky. When Kurt goes to confront Karofsky about it, Karofsky kisses him which leads us to believe that he is gay or at least questioning his sexual preferences. *Gasp* This leads to a confrontation by Kurt and Blaine and Karofsky just storms off.

After Mike confronts Beiste about "staying away from his woman" (after Tina said "Beiste" whilst making out with Mike), Beiste asks Will what is going on. After informing her, she quits and Sue's full cheerleading budget is restored. Will is horrified to receive this info from Sue so he goes to talk to Beiste about why she quit. She gives him this somewhat length-y speech about how she has never fit in because of the way she acts on the outside. That at the end of the day, she just wants to be reminded that she is a girl. And that she's never been kissed. *Cue pity/heartfelt kiss from Schue* and his sort-of tacky line, "Well now you've been kissed." The boys close the show with their mash-up and they dedicate it to Coach Beiste and winning her forgiveness.

Wish you well,
St. Ann

House: No new episode due to the World Series Game 5.

Glee: No New episode. Why? I don't know either.

OTH: Finally a new episode! Julian's mom shows up to help Brooke plan the wedding and it just turns into a hot mess. Nathan is struggling with his new job (which I don't know what it's supposed to be) and Haley's counseling abilities are challenged.

ANTM: The girls are on the move to Italy! Upon arrival they will do a photo shoot on gondolas and visit their first Italian Fashion House, Missoni.

Friday Night Lights: Coach finds out not everyone is pleased by the Lions' strong showing in the season opener; Vince's newfound football stardom comes with perks; Luke faces consequences for his aggressive play.

The Rocky Horror Glee Show Overview

I have been having a unusually hard time writing this re-cap so I thought I'd just let FOX do it for me.

October 25-29 Previews

House: Amber Tamblyn joins House for a multi-episode arc as Martha Masters, a brilliant but inexperienced third-year medical student whom Cuddy forces House to hire as a female team member in Thirteen's absence. In the midst of a tight senatorial re-election race, the New Jersey incumbent's campaign manager mysteriously falls ill with liver failure and temporary paralysis. After a surprising campaign announcement is made by the incumbent, House and the team look to the candidate to find clues about the patient's condition. Meanwhile, Foreman learns that Taub has a past connection to Masters, and in an effort to save his patient's life, House must make a critical decision that may compromise his relationship with Cuddy.

Glee: It's finally here! The Rocky Horror Glee Show!! Will gets the club to do a production of RH for the annual fall/winter play and in an attempt to woo Emma because it is her favorite movie. Finn and Rachel will be playing Brad and Janet, Kurt is Riff-Raff and everyone thought John Stamos was going to be Dr. Frank N. Furter but Mercedes will be playing him instead. Little dissappointed in this but I don't make all the decisions.

OTH: My favorite show is taking the week off. Probably so that it doesn't have to compete for viewers with Glee.

16&Pregnant: The new season opens up with Brooke from Texas who likes to race cars and she met her baby daddy at the track. They are living together at her house and things look like they will be super dramatic with these two.

ANTM: Designer Zac Posen surprises the girls at their beach house to inform them they will be wearing his fall 2010 collection during this week's runway challenge. The girls put their personality to the test when they shoot their very first commercial while wearing roller skates on the beach. Posen is also this week's guest judge.

Friday Night Lights: The (final) season premiere is Wednesday. I have heard absolutely nothing about what will be happening in this season. We'll just have to wait and see. It will air on DirecTV's 101 network at 9pm

Project Runway: It's Finale time!! The final 3 (Gretchen, Mondo and Andy) will be showing at Fashion Week and a winner will be crowned!

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

October 18-22 Previews

House: After a newborn experiences inexplicable breathing problems and liver failure, House and the team look at the baby's mother, Abbey's, own medical history for possible clues. When the team makes a discovery about her newborn's health, Abbey is presented with a difficult decision that could potentially affect both her baby's health and her own. Meanwhile, following Cuddy's directive, House challenges Foreman and Taub to hire a female doctor to join the team. When Cuddy asks House to babysit her daughter, both House and Wilson learn a few hard lessons in parenting.

Glee: No new episode this week :( They are teasing us so that more people will watch next week's Rocky Horror ep. Which I am super pumped for. I already requested that day off of work so I (hopefully) won't miss it. Fox.com has some pretty grand previews up if you wanna check those out. But really, who doesn't? You can see them here.

OTH: Tree Hill must be ahead of the normal world because this week, they are doing their Halloween episode. Looks like Katie come back from the dead to haunt Quinn and Clay, Mia and Haley are hosting an open mic night and Nathan is starting a new career.

Project Runway: Well I guess I was wrong. There are 2 episodes left not just one. I knew that there only being one episode left sounded weird but I wasn't sure. This week they narrow down from four contestants to three and we see what people have been working on!

ANTM: The girls head over to the Grammy Museum and the CEO of the recording company states that one of them will be chosen as the "Grammy Girl" for this year's Grammy Awards. In the photo shoot, they are to portray iconic fashion designers. Guest judge and photographer, Francesco Carrozzini.

Teen Mom: This week is the reunion with Dr. Drew.

Glee Songs, Animoto Style



The subtitles were too small to read so here they are.
  • With Puck in juvie, that means Sam's in!
  • Despite their differences, Santana and Mercedes pair up.
  • Tina helps Mike find his voice.
  • After changing his mind about performing with Sam, Kurt performed solo.
  • With this offensive performance there was no way they'd win. But that was the point.
  • Winners! Their rendition of "Lucky" was marvelous.
  • With their performance of "Happy Days Are Here Again"/ "Get Happy" Rachel lets Kurt know he's not alone.
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Duets (Glee) Overview

So this week the kids were challenged to pair up and work on duets. In a slight twist, Puck was absent from this week's episode because he is in juvie for stealing the ATM from a convenience store. Thus, in his absence there is an odd number of kids. How does this work, you say? Well, Sam has officially joined the club! With his recent injury I figured his joining would be inevitable. Finn and Rachel pair up (obviously), Tina and Mike (after Artie turned her down because he is with Brittany), Santana and Mercedes (even though they can't stand each other. Santana just REALLY wanted to win.), Artie and Brittany (they withdrew from the competition), Sam and Quinn (I spot a budding romance!) and Kurt just performed solo after he decided against working with Sam.

In the very beginning, we are thrown into Brittany's bedroom for some interesting (to say the least) happenings between her and Santana. Brittany suggests that they should do a duet for Glee and Santana shoots her down. Maybe because she isn't ready to publicly embrace their "relationship" or whatever is happening between them.

After being turned down by Santana Brittany goes to Artie and asks him to be her duet partner/boyfriend. He doesn't understand why but accepts anyway. Tina and Mike get into a fight about how he doesn't want to do a duet because he isn't really a singer and how they never go on any normal dates.

Kurt initially wanted to work with Sam for the duet and Sam was on board. But after getting slushied and Kurt's dad had a talk with Kurt about how maybe he was pushing the kid too hard, Kurt dissolved their partnership and Sam started trying to convince Quinn to be his partner. After telling Sam that they were no longer going to work together, he does his performance of  "Le Jazz Hot". This was my second favorite number. Finn and Rachel's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is definitely my number one. What can I say, I love them.

Finn and Rachel are pretty sure they are going to win. Rachel realizes that Sam has to win in order for him to feel accepted into the group and they spend the majority of the episode trying to find a way to lose. This comes by way of a super offensive rendition of "With You, I Am Born Again " dressed as a priest and a nun respectively.

Santana and Mercedes perform their duet, "River Deep, Mountain High". I'm pretty sure Santana has some sort of problem because she is SUPER obsessed with winning the free trip to Breadstix.

Tina and Mike do an uber cute version of "Sing!" from A Chorus Line. I'd have to say this is my third favorite.

While practicing for their duet, Artie realizes that he isn't over Tina and tries to leave. Brittany has other plans. "Before our duet, we're gonna do it." I think that says enough. The reason they pull out of the competition is because Brittany was just using him so she could win/make Santana a little jealous.

After Finn and Rachel perform, Quinn and Sam do their duet. Their chemistry was super palpable and because everyone voted for themselves except Finn and Rachel, they won. Their trip to Breadstix was "so not a date" according to Quinn at first. However, after having a cute little conversation about how he thought she was really brave for coming back, she changes her mind and makes him pay, "a gentleman always pays on the first date".

At the end of the episode, Rachel and Kurt sing a mash-up of "Happy Days Are Here Again" and "Get Happy" so that Kurt will know that he isn't alone and the glee kids love him.

Preview Overview October 11-15

Glee: This week's episode, the kids pair up and do duets and there is a little competition involved. The main focus is the newly formed Artie-Tina-Mike love triangle and the reappearance of Sam. Rachel and Finn throw the competition so that Sam has a better chance of wining. Based off of the information I've gathered, I think that he joins the club because of his injury.

OTH: This is going to be an interesting episode. It is the first time The CW has combined two shows into one episode type thing. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out like a Disney Channel special. OTH and Life Unexpected are coming together for music purposes. Haley books Mia a show in Portland (where Life Unexpected is set) so that she can get away from Chase (her ex-lover) and Alex (mega-slut man-stealer). Everyone is alive (including Clay and Quinn yay!) and will be attending Mia's show.

Project Runway: This week's episode will determine which 3 contestants will show at Lincoln Center in the final. This means double elimination!

House: This week's patient is a lady named Margaret who won't stop throwing up. Yum. Turns out she isn't who she says she is and the team looks into her past to help cure her. Chase hires someone to replace 13 and House doesn't give her the warmest welcome. Also, a visit from House's massage therapist forces Huddy to face the reservations in their relationship.

ANTM: The remaining models are doing group shots in motion this week. I haven't been watching so I haven't picked a girl that I want to win yet for this season. Nevertheless, there looks like there is gonna be some drama amongst the pairings and I can't wait to watch!

Wish you well,

Grilled Cheesus (Glee) Overview

So I think this episode of Glee has become one of my favorites of all time. Mostly because it actually had a storyline that was executed properly and the song choices were great. I don't really want to write a whole 5 page thing about every breath the characters took so here are the high points.
  • Finn thinks he has found a direct line to God through his Grilled Cheesus (grilled cheese that has a burn mark that looks like Jesus' face). With it, he makes three wishes 1) For them to win their first football game, 2) That he'll get farther than second base with Rachel and 3) for him to become starting quarterback again.
  • Kurt's dad has a heart attack and that's why he is in the hospital. Everybody sings a song for Burt in prayer even though Kurt isn't really happy about it. He doesn't believe in God because of the views that Christians have on the gay community.
  • Sue and Will have it out about the fact that the glee kids are doing songs about spirituality. Makes sense because it is a public school but her overreaction is kinda hilarious. “Well William, if your kids want to praise Jesus in class, I suggest that they enroll at Sweet Mary Holy Mother of God Academy on I love Jesus Street, but not here. This country is not a monarchy, William. Trust me, I’ve tried.” -Sue Sylvester.
  • Kurt re-evaluates how he spends his time, seeing that he doesn't spend as much time as he should with his dad. The flashbacks during "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" made me cry.
  • When Finn realizes that his sandwich isn't a link to God after talking to Ms. Pillsbury about his guilt over Sam getting hurt in their game, he sings "Losing My Religion" in the library. I have to say, his naivete went a little too overboard this episode. He isn't really that dumb, I hope.
  • We see some more of Sue's sister, Jean, in this episode. They talk about religion and Jean asks if Sue wants her to pray for her and Sue says yes.
  • The episode closes with the club singing "One of Us" and Burt sort of waking up. (Yay!)
Overall, I think that the episode didn't shove religion down our throats, it showed us how each character felt about a higher power. Not everyone has to believe in God, just something bigger than themselves.

Diagnosis: Best episode yet.

Wish you well,

Preview Overview Glee and OTH

OTH: In the lovely little "Tree Hill in 20" preview that the CW does, here's what's been revealed:
  • Brooke's mom is trying to find a way to make the whole "I'm in prison" thing work for them as good publicity.
  • Nathan said something along the lines of "I'm still going to play basketball".
  • Alex is a mega slut.
And that's all I picked up from it. If you don't believe me, you can check it out here.

There was also a clip released from next week's episode that showed Brooke and Julian at some estate where Julian wanted them to get married. Not much was revealed in terms of general storyline but it had a fluffy little moment for all you Brulian fans.

Glee: This week's episode is the religion episode. I didn't actually watch the previews for it but thanks to Wikipedia and Fox Broadcasting, I have a pretty good understanding of what is supposed to happen.
Finn sees the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich. Perhaps a reference to this story about a woman in Florida with Mary on a sandwich.
Kurt's dad finds himself in the hospital in a life or death situation. This sparks the rest of the glee kids to rally around Kurt in his time of need.
Mercedes brings Kurt to church with her.

This week's songs include:
"Losing My Religion"
"Papa, Can You Hear Me?"
"One of Us"
"I Look to You"
"Only the Good Die Young"
"Bridge over Troubled Water"
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"

Wish you well,
