• Glee: We Could Have Danced, Danced, Danced All Night

    Do you know what it takes to get Slushie out of your hair? Patience, persistence, and Palmolive, that's what. We were soaking in two of those Ps, as the kids prepared for a frosty beverage right to the face.

    The Great Slushie War of 2009 ended peacefully, with the oppressed accepting their colonization by the massive forces of popularity, but it didn't happen before everyone had to step up and Sue Motherfucking Sylvester did some stepping out. Music and mayhem, that's the way we like it, and that's just what we got last night. Also, we got a lot of ladies falling over in their wedding dresses, and Will Schuester showing off some freakin' awesome hip hop dance moves. Where did he learn those, the tough streets of Lima, Ohio? So, why are you just standing there bust a move!

    "Bust a Move": This rap classic is about being decisive and taking action—even if that action is just to get you laid. While no one was blatantly chasing tail (well, except Puck, but that's what he does) there were plenty of people running over there without a second to lose.

    All the popular kids in the school weren't happy about Finn and Quinn joining Glee and starting a little family, and they decided it was time to fight back, with overly sweet beverages from a convenience store that rhymes with Heaven-a-Bleven but apparently wouldn't pay for the sweet, sweet product placement. Yes, the happy couple were on the outs, and Finn was getting the worst of it, with his offensive line making offensive comments about his orientation now that he's joined the "Homo Explosion." One of them even quips that "Maybe a real man snuck in an [knocked up Quinn] for you." Oh, how right you are, little man (Team Quinn!).

    Of course little Huckleberry Finn and his Huckleberry Hound weren't going to just let all the less popular kids take their throne, so they tried their best to become cool again. Oh, poor things. Don't they know that being cool means not trying.

    Trying to take a stand for himself was Ken, who decided that it was time to do something about that pesky Will Schuesterfly that keeps getting all up in his ointment. By that ointment, we mean Emma, who has agreed to a secret marriage with Ken even though she brazenly flirts with Will right in front of his face. Sick of being second choice in both love and sports, Ken schedules a football practice during Glee rehearsal so that his players have to pick between and-a-one-two-three-four and hut-hut-hike. He has a feeling that they'll choose the pigskin, thus ruining Will's little club and exacting his revenge.

    And it's sad, because this is the week that Mr. Shu decided to actually make Glee fun. He had the kids trying to come up with mashups to "Bust a Move," he wasn't making up any crazy schemes to try to get ahead, and we didn't have to deal with his crazy wife and her increasingly annoying fake pregnancy storyline.
