Glee 2.18-April 26, 2011

So, I loved this past week's episode of Glee. I would like to point out that the Super Bowl episode ran during an allotted hour slot and ended up 51 minutes, while this episode entitled Born this Way, was allotted a 90 minute slot and was only 57 minutes long (on iTunes you have to take off the 2 or so minutes of commercials at the end).

Alrighty, loads to talk about. This is the episode where Santana figures out the Karofsky is gay because she sees him checking out Sam's butt, and so she gets her evil little brain working because she wants Kurt to transfer back to McKinley because she thinks they'll have a better chance at Nationals. She confronts Karofsky and they start some anti-bully club called the "Bully Whips" to stop bullying to make the school safe for Kurt to come back. However, she spills her little secret to Karofsky and now they're "fake" dating to cover up they're gay. (everyone's disgusted by it me included) Making an excuse to reform Karofsky from his bullying habits.

Kurt does transfer back, but gets the truth out of Karofsky about what Santana's doing, which repulses and impresses Kurt. The Blaine comes to the school with the Warblers to sing goodbye to Kurt "Somewhere Only We Know" the second time I've cried during a glee episode and performance.

On the Rachel side of things, she's considering getting a nose job after Finn's clumsy dancing breaks her nose. She wants Quinn's nose, but Lauren who's now running for prom queen finds the truth about Quinn that her nose is actually a nose job and she use to look like Lauren. Kurt on the other hand with the help of Puck have a "Barbra-vention" at the mall and break out in a flash mob to Duck Sauce's "Barbra Streisand" song. It's EPIC!

By the end everyone's comfortable with themselves with the exception of Santana and Karofsky who sit in the audience while the rest of the Glee club performs "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga with shirts that have a word or phrase that describes a flaw about them that they're proud of. Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina take the leads on this. It was an Epically Amazing performances and close to being one of my favorite episodes, targeting how you should accept yourself for everything you are including the things you don't like about yourself.

I felt that the plot was amazing, (there should have been more Kurt and Blaine, but I guess that's just me) and the storyline is something that everyone can relate to. There's just no words to express my sentiments on how extraordinarily amazing this episode was.

See you next week for the "Rumours" episode!!
