picspam: Glee (Pilot)
I just watched the Glee pilot because I love, love, love "Don't Stop Believing" (who doesn't?) so I was suckered in. Oh my goodness, you guys, it's de - wait for it - lightful! Delightful! Precious cast! Fantastic music! Endearing plot! Hilarious dialogue! I LOVE IT! I'm sure this means that it'll get cancelled because it's on FOX where good television shows go to die and boring shows keep on trucking. But until then, I've picspammed the hell out of the pilot.
PICSPAM: Glee (Pilot)
MRS. ADLER: Glee club is not about competition. It's about something deeper: realizing your potential, utilizing your gifts. Even by its very definition in Mr. Webster's book, glee is about opening yourself up to joy. Eyebrows up everybody! Bust a move!
RACHEL: Mr. Schuester, do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to give the lead solo in "Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat" to a boy in a wheelchair?
ARTY: I think Mr. Schuester is using irony to enhance the performance.
RACHEL: There is nothing ironic about show choir!
I think I love Rachel! She's so type A about choir! And I love the tranny theme with her interactions with the cheerleaders throughout the pilot. Like when the cheertator calls her RuPaul later on? I laughed! A lot! Continuity rules, man! I also loved Finn telling the jocks to wait until Kurt took off his designer jacket before they tossed him into the garbage. Sensitivity!
FIGGINS: My hands are tied. We cannot afford another lawsuit. Please continue to pack up your decorative centerpieces.
SANDY: I'm not even gay!
And this is when I decided that I loved this show: DECORATIVE CENTERPIECES. LOLERIFFIC!
WILL: There is no joy in these kids! They feel invisible! That's why every one of them has a myspace page!
Heh! AND Will has to pay the school to keep glee club going! I love it! Also, it's Charlie from Heroes being adorable and germaphobic! That excuse about her apartment burning down was hilarious!
Eat it, Joey Potter! These kids can really sing!
RACHEL: You might laugh because every time I sign my name, I put a gold star after it, but it's a metaphor and metaphors are important. My gold stars are a metaphor for me being a star. And just so we're clear, I wanna clear up that hateful rumor that I was the one who turned that closet case Sandy Ryerson in because he gave Hank Sanders the solo that I deserved. That's cock-pucky! ("He was touching Hank, caressing him! It was so wrong!") I am not homophobic. In fact, I have two gay dads. See, I was born out of love. My two dads screened potential surrogates based on beauty and IQ. Then they mixed their sperm together and used a turkey baster. To this day, we don't know which one is my real dad, which I think is pretty amazing! My dads spoiled me in the arts: I was given dance lessons, vocal lessons, anything to give me a competitive edge. You might think that the boys in school would totally wanna tap this, but my myspace schedule keeps me way too busy to date. I try to post a myspace video everyday just to keep my talent alive and growing. Nowadays, being anonymous is worse than being poor! Fame is the most important thing in our culture now and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that no one is just going to hand it to you!
Important life lesson: you can't get stink ass out of polyester. Rachel's intro was so brilliant that I simply had to quote the whole thing. She really reminds me of Tracy Flick from Election. She's the same kind of driven, bitchy, and arrogant, but there's something about her that you can't help but like.
FIGGINS: What is it with you and this club? You've got only five kids and one of them's a cripple!
And this is why. She just wants to be a part of something special!
TERRI: But Will, I'm on my feet four hours a day three times a week here! Now I have to go home and I have to cook dinner for myself?
BWAH HA HA! If I didn't like Emma so much in this, I'd love Terri! Also, impetigo and matching facial expressions FTW!
SUE: What you're doing right now is called blurring the lines. High school is a caste system. Kids fall into certain slots. Your jocks and your popular kids? Up in the penthouse. The invisible and the kids playing live action druids and trolls out in the forest? Bottom floor.
WILL: And where do the glee kids lie?
SUE: Sub-basement.
BWAH! Poor naive Will. Sue is so damn hilarious. I'm pretty sure the actress is playing the same role she played in Role Models, only in a school setting. Also, Will is so awesome! He scraped the gum off of Emma's shoe because he knew she was such a germaphobe! And he did it perfectly! There wasn't a scrap left! I need someone to do that for me. (Side note: The glee background music may be my favorite thing about this show!)
The sign-up sheet pretty much had me LOLing forever. Now all we need is some Beavis & Butthead up in here!
I actually had to pause during this scene because I was laughing too hard to hear dialogue. Mandatory bi-weekly afternoon locker checks! The little priority #1 flyer in Will's office while he's framing Finn! A football scholarship that doesn't exist yet! Bacne! Emerald Diamonds! JOURNEEEEEEEEYYYYY! Who doesn't feel the power of music setting their soul on fire when they hear "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'"?
MERCEDES: Oh hell to the nah. Look, I'm not down with this background singing nonsense! I'm Beyonce; I ain't no Kelly Rowland!
Meanwhile, Kurt continues to have the greatest "bitch, please" faces ever!
TERRI: It's not a bad thing to want a real life, Will! And to have a glue gun that works!
Mahogany toilet brush holders from Pottery Barn! Was I the only one who thought about that Friends episode where Rachel buys a whole bunch of furniture from Pottery Barn and tells Phoebe she got them from a flea market?
FINN: Oh, uh, I have to miss practice Saturday afternoon. It's my mom. I have to help her cook and do things.
FART KID: Why?
FINN: She just had, uh, surgery.
FART KID: What kind of surgery?
FINN: Uh, well, she um, had to have her prostate out.
FART KID: Man, that's a tough break.
FINN: Yeah, it's engorged.
BWAH! I also love Ken a lot! "How do I get you into my hatchback?" And then the hand licking! He's so spiteful!
FART KID: Chicks don't have prostates! I looked it up!
Hee! I really want a PB&J sandwich now! Oh, and that performance of "Rehab" was amazing!
I got really sad when Mercedes told Will that they'd work harder if he'd stay especially since the cynic in me thinks that Terri might be faking the pregnancy to get Will to become an accountant. The glee kids are really, really precious!
LEAVING ON A JET PLANE! I ADORE THIS SONG LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE! And she made him an appointment at the career center because this show is too adorable for words!
FINN: Don't you get it, man? We're ALL losers. Everyone in this school. Hell, everyone in this town. Out of all the kids who graduate, maybe half will go to college. And two will leave the state to do it. I'm not afraid of being called a loser because I can accept that's what I am. But I am afraid to turn my back on something that actually made me happy for the first time in my sorry life.
FART KID: So what? You're quitting to join Homo Explosion?
FINN: No, I'm doing both. Because you can't win without me and neither can they.
I loved Finn's little speech. I don't care if it's cliche. It worked for me. Let your freak flag fly, Finn! Also, "Don't Stop Believing" makes everything better!
KURT: You nailed all my lawn furniture to my roof.
FINN: I wasn't actually there for that, but I'm really sorry.
I really liked Emma's pep talk too.
PERFECTION. ♥♥♥ True story: there may even have been tears. I challenge you to not feel warm and happy and touched while watching this scene.
As always, please don't steal the screencaps, repost them anywhere else, hotlink, or use them for icons or anything! It took me forever to cap, clean, and color them so Journey will roll you over in a porta-potty if you do.
And make sure to watch the Glee pilot on FOX this Tuesday, May 19th. Seriously, it's really good!
