Something about this episode just felt off to me. I think its because it felt so rushed and jumbled together. It did have me laughing, but majority of this episode just came out of nowhere. It wasn't the best episode to leave off on.

I really loved Rachel tonight (that's nothing new, but whatever) and I wish Puck/Rachel weren't so rushed. Mark/Lea do have good chemistry together and they could have worked out nicely if we had more scenes with them before this episode. The scene at the football field would have been a nice start, but I think it did show why they wouldn't work together. She wants a guy who she can talk to things about and he isn't that guy for her. I wouldn't mind some type of friendship with them, because Mark/Lea do work off each other well. Loved that she imagined Finn when they were kissing and I kind love how she admitted to be high maintenance. I never really realized how short her skirts were until the bathroom scene.

She looked so adorable during "Sweet Caroline" Lea played it perfectly. I know people probably didn't, but I missed her singing in this episode

Mark plays Puck perfectly I thought his scene with his family was hilarious. The look he had after his sister screamed and ran out the room was priceless. When he woke up and had a revelation of God telling him to get into Rachel's pants had me and my brother rolling it was perfectly delivered. He's so amazing at singing and would love more of him. I'm still not sold on Puck/Quinn, but I do blame the writers since we haven't had scenes with them since 1x04.

Poor Finn I felt so bad for him and I love it when we see him soft and sensitive. I'm not a huge Will fan, but I do like Finn/Will scenes and I think Finn needs a father-type figure. What I was confused about was in 1x05 we had Finn playing Rachel to get back into Glee so he could get a scholarship if they won and he gives that all away so he can be popular again? I do think when it comes down to it he picked football for Quinn so she wouldn't have to get slushies and picked on. It was obvious he was going back to Glee so I wasn't really annoyed with him. He looked so cute in his sunglasses!

I still can't find myself caring for Ken/Emma/Will. I want to feel sorry for Ken, like baileycat said he knows what he's getting into so it makes it hard to sympathize with him. I thought Will actually realized he couldn't keep leading on, but he goes wedding dress shopping with her. I got kind of annoyed he blew off Quinn when she was upset.

i can't believe it took so long for people to catch on to puck/rachel! they were awesome, with so.much.chem!!! i flove that rachel calls him noah too! so sad how he ended their last scene, the baby!!! ps, it was super duper gross that finn was all in their makeout session.

finn, ha, what a sellout! how many times is he going to learn the lesson of humility? constant replay ftmfl!

kurt, tina, mercedes and rachel all in raincoats was sooSOO adorable! awwness for days! plus, kurt took one for the team!! finn doesn't deserve their friendship, period!!

yea, will, STOP RAPPING/DANCING/FLIRTING!! so happy he got slushied at the end. woot.

My heart just broke for Ken. He loves Emma...he needs someone who really loves him back.

Puck and Rachel were a ridiculous waste of time in this episode, IMO. Other characters could have been given storylines instead of making us watch a rushed storyline that came out of nowhere and left me confused the whole time.

Emma, what's the deal with you using Ken? Stop. Stop it now. I need one character to be a decent friggin person.

Also, after this episode, I officially don't like Rachel.

TVWeirdo07 · 10-21-2009, 09:41 PM

I actually kind of love that they finally reference that Kurt has feelings for Finn in this episode. I sort of ship them after the slushie scene.

Kurt sacrificed his perfect skin for him.

**Queen Bee** · 10-21-2009, 10:11 PM

Puck/Rachel were beyond rushed, they've barely even spoken the entire show and all of a sudden it's like 'we are in a relationship, because we made out on my bed' It felt ridiculous, I couldn't even take them seriously.

Hate that we still haven't gotten a single PQ scene

Mercedes yelling "MY WEAVE!"

I love her.

Puck not really reacting and just kinda looking as his little sister ran out of the room screaming during Schindler's List was HILARIOUS

and his revelation about the Good Lord wanting him to get into Rachel's pants

Puck quitting football

Aw at Rachel washing Puck's hair

I thought Puck and Rachel were sweet. But it was also kinda weird. Don't know if it was the overall ep. but it seemed rushed for me, and kind of strange, which is kind of a shame cause Lea and Mark really do have awesome chemistry.

And we really do need more Puck/Quinn. Other than Puck looking at her as she walked by him before Bust A Move, and Quinn giving him googly eyes during Sweet Caroline, (BTW Mark/Puck singing = UNF

) They haven't really interacted since the confrontation about the baby. According to the promo looks like Puck kinda blows up about it though...can't wait!

Oh Finn...

that's peer pressure for ya. At least he came back at the very end though

Kinda wish we could've gotten more jeaous!Finn though.

Kurt I love you!

Taking one for the team in his full length see through rain coat

Chris' delivery on "Get out of here. And think about whether any of your friends in the football team would've done the same for you." was amazing. It made me sad

and his "SOMEONE GET ME TO A DAY SPA STAT!" Oh Kurt

so fabulous and fierce.

Happy!Sue was lovely

and weird, but refreshing, but bitchtastic!Sue is funny

Her whole kitty cat speech to Will

but her what she said to Quinn...ouch.

I loved Quinn in her sunglasses

This episode was okay, but it did have it's great moments.

I FLOVE Puck, LOVE HIM and his voice

IMO he has a better voice then Finn and they need to give him more solos. I was rolling during his inner monologue and the family watching Schindler's List and his sister running our screaming, Puck's face was priceless

Puck and Rachel do have good chemistry but I didn't really get into them. I think Puck should just be mine

It was a little weird seeing Sue being nice, I loved her and Will swing dancing, but I was glad she got back into being the bitch that we all know and love.

In regards to Ken, he knows what he's is getting into. He knows that he is a consolation prize and then for him to go around bitching at Will to me isn't fair, Ken is going into this marriage with eyes wide open and know that Emma doesn't love him. If he doesn't like it then he should call off the engagement and quit complaining, he made his bed so he should sleep in it.

**In Fair Verona** · 10-21-2009, 11:23 PM

I'll share my thoughts on the episode as a whole later (but yes; holy jumbled/rushed/what) but for now wanted to agree with the sentiment that Ken knows what he is getting into. I don't really see Emma as "using" Ken either when Ken basically said that "you could do worse" and was basically asking her to settle. It's not like Emma is leading him on necessarily... she makes it clear she doesn't want anyone to know about them getting married; won't wear the ring; doesn't even want to be in the same room... It's an unrealistic arrangement in the first place, but at least she's not saying she loves him or anything like that. You'd have to be pretty thick to think that all those signs point to her actually being in love with him.

Mighty Mouse 01 · 10-21-2009, 11:24 PM

By the way, maybe Rachel would get hit with slushies less if she freaking ducked. Tina moved out of the way, Mercedes protected her weave with her jacket, and Rachel just gasped and scrunched up her face.

Twice.

semmanclana · 10-21-2009, 11:55 PM

Rachel and Puck R HOT!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hoping the producers see the sudden mass of support for them and give us more scenes later on. So cute and the bathroom scene was sweet. And poor Puck was hurt in the end when she dumped him.

An Emma using Ken? Um he KNOWS she is. He basically guilted her into dating him.

Aw don't worry, i'd rather have this awsome build up then just rushing them <3 like they do other couples

""You like her don't you? I can see you staring at her when I'm staring at Finn. Is that why you joined Glee? To be closer to her?"

"

even she knows it
