The End of Twerk (5x05) - Episode Discussion
The End of Twerk
Based on previous heated debates, we (moderators) have decided to list some guidelines and rules that need to be followed on all episode discussions here. 1. Do not bash any of the cast members or writers. Discussion should be about characters. Substituting an actors name for a character when discussing the character is not okay. They're not the same person. Respectfully critiquing someone's performance or a writer's contribution is fine, however, bashing and being rude about them is not. Offensive nicknames for the writers and cast-members are also not to be used here. This is against Fan Forum policy and is an insult to real people.Thank you, everyone! Happy __________________

Well that was an hr of 2nd hand embarrassment. Wrecking Ball had to be one of the worst performances in Glee history. Sounded ok but it didn't need a visual. And can they stop the happy song to end the episode? They become lamer and lamer.

It was better than last week. That or I've just lowered my expectations.
Watching Mr. Schue twerk with students was, well, just wrong. I don't usually agree with Sue, but this time I kinda did. I wish the writers would give Becky something more to do than just shout obscenities, though. And I wish Rachel's haircut had been real. I wonder how long she practiced taking off the hat without taking off the wig. I liked Unique's storyline in this episode. And I liked how Will stood up for him. And Rachel's duet was pretty awesome. __________________

I don't know if these episodes limited to small tidbits of contemporary pop culture are helping or hurting the show in the ratings, but episodes like the last two are guaranteed to give it minimal life in reruns when Lady Gaga becomes a dim memory and this strange activity is nearly forgotten.
There's a reason why no network has ever aired 1970s reruns of 60 Minutes. |

That's all the writers know how to do now, is "theme of the week" or "tribute" of the week. We are already up to 3 tributes and are in for more which is insane. The show is clearly not about the characters and just using songs to help them express themselves anymore.
And while Uniques song was good, I felt that the writers really could've made it stronger and more emotional. Re-watching Uniques performance back and jeez did the writers/director drop the ball. Having it all take place in the choir room was just lazy. Should've had Unique wondering around the school seeing couples being all coupley in the hallway, on the bleachers watching football practice, cheerios being girly with each other, basically all the things that Unique wants and how different she is from the normal kids. And of course they should've kept up Ryders uncomfortableness with Unique from the end of S4 instead of just sweeping it under the rug. Even the performances are badly done and aren't creative anymore. People do better in fanfic than these professionals do that are getting paid. It is a shame because Glee has had sooooo much potential to go down as a one of the most creative shows of its generation but no one bts clearly cares.

What. On. Earth. Was. That. ?
This was the one ep where I didn't blame Sue for wanting Will fired. What thirtysomething man twerks with underage girl just to tick the principal off? And that argument to the school board was a sham. There's no comparing the waltz/mashed potato to twerking. Sorry to Miley's fans but she was wearing a flesh-colored suit and miming a sexual act which is far from the waltz when both parties are wearing full clothing. Will was a straight up idiot here.... If the Unique plot wasn't in the ep, I'd question Will's adulthood, but he stepped it up there. That should've been the main driving plot of this whole ep but of course we had to watch everyone twerk for about 15 minutes. More like fifteen minutes of nonsense. I thought the short hair on Rachel was cute...better than the blonde highlights. Kurt is just so adorable and I loved Rachel thinking about getting a kitty cat. But the Finn tattoo was sweet. I personally don't want any ink but it was a nice plot.Tina using the portapottie....bwah! I thought Melissa's acting was good but Wrecking Ball was a miss. I enjoyed the first and last songs, but could've done without the rest. When Becky yelled at Will, I died though. If Becky yells at Will, Sam, Blaine, Bree, or anybody else that annoys me within that ep, I'm buying this season. eta: Will, Sue has mastered the epic meltdown. You were weak in that department. __________________

TBH, I'm not sure which side on I'm in regards to twerking. I started out agreeing with Sue, but I honestly thought Will made some valid points during the presentation to the school board. Twerking really is just shaking your booty after all. To me, it looks ridiculous more than anything else. But again, I thought both sides of the debate were represented well.
I also loved Will's Sue Sylvester style meltdown. I thought it was one of the funniest scenes in the episode. |

The episode should have been titled "The End of Glee" as this is truly the end.
What's up with these theme episodes? What's with the no character development? Why is this show no longer funny? What was up with Marley's rendition of Wrecking Ball? (she sounded horrible) What's with the unnecessary and out of place New York scenes? If you are going to focus your attention on Mckinley, just tell the story there. The New York storyline is so ridiculous. They've just moved there last year (or w.e), and Rachel is already starring on Broadway, Kurt/Santana has successful careers in acting/fashion.....really? okay. Just feed lies to the viewer and tell them anything can happen if you just believe. *sarcasm* Kinda over this show. all they care about is selling records on itunes. no character or story development and the show is no longer funny. It's time to put it out of it's misery. imo edit: so much this Quote:
