Glee Review: "Rumours"
Glee paid tribute to Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" this week and it was the truth.
The only cheese in this week's episode "Rumours" was in Brittany's fondue pot. Brittany and Lord Tubbington were a great kick off to the episode. Did anyone notice the photos on the wall behind her though? They didn't look like they were shots of her or were they? Maybe I was the stupid one Artie, either way Brittany was completely dope all episode long.
Sue did seem a bit unhinged but she did paranoid well and made for a hilarious Ann Coulter.
April was good in her return even if she looked a little like Magda from There's Something About Mary as she sipped her drink in Sue's office. Loved her line about drinking her dinner these days while having the straw in the wine glass to boot. The woman can sing that is for certain. Anyone else catch her sneaking a peak at Will's rear end after the performance of "Dreams?"
I felt bad for Artie, but after he called Britt "stupid" I knew it was time for "Brintana" to emerge.
Artie really belted out that "been down one time, been down two times" line from "Never Going Back Again." I bet people would pay a lot of money to have Puck just follow them around with his guitar. In the end, Artie will be ok.
There are new levels for Angry Birds Rio due out this month.
Speaking of birds, Santana soared as she sang "Songbird" for Brittany. After that performance I think I love her "like never before", but I really wanted her to tell the others because they would have seen it in her eyes that it's right and the songbirds would sing as if they knew the score.
Emma looked great, maybe the best she ever has. Keep up with the meds Ginger and remember the words of Lloyd Christmas, "pills are good, pills are good!"
With Puck on guitar, Finn on drums and her with her bedazzled microphone, Rachel's version of "Go Your Own Way" was pure fire and vintage Glee!
I've always loved when the other group members join in and sing along on the choruses. It's just a sign of how much they all love classic music and while I have liked the contemporary stuff this throw back tribute was really something special and long over due.
Touching stuff with Sam and his family. Didn't feel too bad for his little brother though as he got to dance with Quinn, lucky little bugger. All in all it was a nice follow up to such a hyped episode last week. With a number of big questions still looming I'm very much looking forward to Prom and to all your comments.
Don't forget to check out our Glee quotes section from this week, I'm gonna go see if I can still squeeze into my old tuxedo.

Sez, thank you very much. You've said it all. I think Finn was unjustified for breaking up with Rachel but it's clear the boy's a mess. He took Quinn away from Sam because he didn't want to be cheated on anymore. He wanted to do the stealing this time. But clearly he still loves Rachel. He's confused about why he loves her when Quinn, the hot Queen Bee, is around. Obviously, the issue of beauty is going to come up again. Quinn is so consumed by it and Finn will see that. Finn had his head played with last year, its probably best for him to just take a break from relationships.
As for the flirty song, Rachel hated what Quinn did to Finn. She's expressing how she feels. She's the only one on this show that isn't a liar. Although she did lie about losing her virginity, she eventually fessed up. And for what? So the rest of the Glee Club could laugh in her face about Satanna nabbing Finn's virginity when he promised they'd go through that together? Rachel wanted to hurt Finn the way he

Thanks for taking the time. Well Said!

I never thought about Finn's mother, but she would have an opinion -- and you nailed it!

I would really like to see Rachel shine on her own! She definitively don't need find, I think his character reduces Rachel's, while she's so awesome when she doesn't think about Finn and is her Diva-self.
Apart from that, for once I would like to say a word about Artie. I really didn't feel him calling Brit "stupid" in the same way everybody does. I hope you understand what I mean xD They were having a quite serious conversation, and I felt like he called her stupid in the same way he could have done with another person in the same situation. Not in a I-believe-in-Green-face-Santa way stupid.

I think that Finn is a great guy and just has had bad things happen in his relationships but lets be real every high school relationship is based on status and others opinions. I personally am a Rachel fan and hate when Quinn and Finn are together. The only time Quinn has every been actually happy and not cruel and mean is when she is not with Finn. Finn and Rachel do belong together you can see it in the way they are with each other. They care about each other and always will there is no shame in always being there for someone you care about. Trying to steal a boyfriend just out of jealousy is wrong but when you are trying to look out for the others well being because you care if they get hurt is a different story. Rachel sees that Quinn isn't good for him and is trying to show him the same thing. I feel bad for Sam. High school can be cruel and no one needs to go through what he is going through at that age. Poor guy. Santana needs to just come out with it and tell everyone

Somebody has been paying attention. One other detail I would like to say that has always bothered me besides the ones Sez mentioned is why is Finn's Mom Carol not concerned that her son is dating Quinn again and taking her to the prom. I would like to see the picture taking session go something like the this:
Carol: Oh hi Quinn. By the way, what ever happened to the baby you said my son was the father of even though you never slept together?
Quinn: She's fine, Finn's ex-girlfriend Rachel's Mom is raising her.

@Kreeto Rachel never slept with Puck! You're mistaking her for Quinn. Rachel kissed Puck.
Let's go chronologically into the relationships and see who's to blame for what;
Quinn and the Cheerios (and others) are repulsive to RAchel for no reason other than she is talented and knows it
Quinn and Finn date, she is vile to him and cheats on him with Puck (resulting in her getting pregnant)
Finn and Rachel kiss but he tells her he can't be with her
Finn continues to date Quinn and she continues to belittle him and bully Rachel
Finn kisses Rachel while still with Quinn to get her to come back to NDs(who still has yet to reveal she is pregnant or even that she's cheated) but ends it before it even starts because he is with Quinn
Finn finds out Quinn is pregnant and she lies and says it is his (Puck also concealing he played any part in this)
It is revealed that Quinn is pregnant and all the NDs, including Rachel (who gives her underwear to that creep Jacob in an effort to help!), sup

@aja Yeah totally. Which also means that Finn has been a douchebag all along. Apart from the obvious "cheating", as in kissing, Finn and Rachel have always had things going on behind Quinn even when Finn and Quinn are together. I know this may sound radical but I think that's totally inappropriate. And only in this episode Quinn finally brought that up, after the most inappropriate flirting between Finn and Rachel during the Go On Your Way. (That song was amazing by the way, Lea Michele totally nailed it)
Finn went all puzzled yelling "What?" when Quinn forbids him from singing duet with Rachel. Finn knew Rachel is flirting with him. And Finn is dating Quinn. But he got mad when Quinn forbids him from getting together with Rachel. Should he got mad? Is Quinn wrong?
Despite all these Rachel would definitely end up playing the victim, that's for sure. How charming. =)

@Derek - Finn cheated on Quinn with Rachel in S01 E02.. It was just a kiss, but as far as I know - that's cheating..
May 5th, 2011 2:11 AM
@Debbie662: Finn never cheated ON anyone. He got cheated ON twice, by Rachel and Quinn. And Quinn tried to trick him into fathering Puck's child that she was pregnant with after she banged Puck, having refused to sleep with HIM through their whole relationship. On the bad side, he lied to Rachel about sleeping with Santana while they weren't even together and she was with Jesse (which really should not, and then got Rachel to cheat on Sam with him (that last one is as bad as cheating, as far as I'm concerned.) Either way, as far as Quinn goes, of course he's freaking out about the idea of being cheated on by her. She's already done it to him before... and got knocked up by his ex-best friend.

I totally agree with Debbie662!
Plus, being a Quinn's fan actually makes me hate Rachel even more (Because from the beginning I've already hated Rachel). That's the tricky part about Finn and Rachel. They both deserve each other (not in a good way though) and I don't give a damn when they are together. But the problem is when they separated, they tended to hurt the others namely Quinn, Sam, and Quinn-Sam relationship. Thanks to Rachel (for sleeping with Puck over something that Finn did thousands of years ago), Finn broke up with her, and flirted and made out with Quinn, causing Sam to dump Quinn. You may put the blame on Santana about this, but the fact is, Finn and Rachel both lied to each other and that was the real problem.
Also, it's so disgusting that Rachel is now openly flirting with Finn (with the duet project, whatever). Just because she's the main character in the show and Finn is seemingly dating the biggest bitch of all time, that doesn't make it right to steal someone'
