Episode 2.16, "Original Song" Recap
Here's what happened on yesterday's last episode:
The Warblers opened the show with Maroon 5's Misery with an intensified energy......well, besides Kurt. Kurt admits that he is jealous of Blaine getting all the solos and all the numbers and he feels like the Warblers are actually "Blaine and the pips".
Meanwhile in Mckinley, Rachel tries another attempt in her songwriting gig and asks Finn about her new song "Only Child". Well, the song turned okay but it is not far from "My Headband". Finn thinks that Rachel played scared with her song and suggests she look deep inside herself and find where the songs are coming from. While their conversation is going, lurking around the corner is Quinn who seems very jealous with the ex-lovers. It turns out that Quinn wants to be the Prom Queen for the year and she thinks that being with Finn is the fast-ride to that status. However, she cannot get Finn with Rachel playing cute girl around so she plans to "keep her enemy closer" and befriend Rachel.
The scene shifts to the nail polishing Kurt who whistles beside Pavarotti the bird. Without doing anything at all, the bird drop dead so Kurt showed up in the Warbler meeting (should I say "parliamentary procedures"?) the next day with a recording tape. He sings a heart warming rendition of The Beatles Blackbird and ending up with tears streaking in his well-moisturized cheeks. Blaine was obviously moved and inspired by the solo and suggested to the group, through a point of order, that he wanted to do a duet with Kurt at the Regionals.
(Here comes the best part) While Kurt was decorating the casket of Pavarotti, Blaine approached him. Kurt asked Blaine why he picked him for a duet and Blaine said that while Kurt was singing he realized that Kurt was the one he is looking for (I blush). The two shared a kiss confirming their affection with one another. Although I am not for Kurt and Blaine, I still think that this kiss is hot.
Back at McKinley, Brittany asks Santana why she is not talking to her. Santana said that Brittany blew her off and that it's Brittany's lost. Sue, the new coach of Aural Intensity, enters the scene saying that she will get back to them by deserting her in Cheerios. So Brittany and Santana opens their locker and come all the dirts in their mouth and on their clothes. Brittany has no memories of putting dirts in their locker.
William received a cease and decease order from somewhere stating that they could not sing My Chemical Romance for the Regionals. Rachel raised again her suggestion that New Directions should sing original songs. As a part of her plot, Quinn backs Rachel saying that they do their best when they push themselves. Finn agreed and it was decided that New Directions will be having original songs for their set list. (Thus the title of the episode!). As a result, Santana wrote a "heterosexual song" for Sam titled Trouty Mouth which ended up with Sam being insulted. Puck tries to get another shot for Lauren and sings her his song Bad Ass Heart. Mercedes transforms her famous expression to a song and performs Hell to the No. All these were not considered for the regionals so Will asked the club their notion of pain. The kids all feels that being branded as a loser is their personal pain so they all agreed to write a song with a title Loser Like Me.
At the day of the competitions, Sue came to Will and said that New Directions is about to lose for singing original songs. Will comments that Sue is having too much of a confidence for a rookie and she said that Aural Intensity's set list is custom made for the panel of judges. It turned out that Sue let AI sing Jesus Is My Friend in order to touch the taste of the nun judge. The Warbler's performed the Blaine and Kurt's duet Candles from Hey Monday and finishing their number with Pink's Raise Your Glass.
Finn approached Rachel on the backstage saying that he was really impressed with the song. Rachel, broken hearted from knowing that Quinn and Finn are back together, asked him to listen very carefully in the song for she means every word of it. Rachel sings her every own song Get It Right which is inspired by her failed relationship with Finn and her desire to reconcile with her ex. Finn seemed amazed in the background. To cap off their number, New Direction sang their anthem Loser Like Me expressing their response to the people who brand them as loser. They ended up slushing the audience with red confetti.
During the deliberation,the Palin-esque judge Tammy Jones expressed that she is disturbed by the Warbler's performance because of the "gayness" of the number. Sister Mary Constance, whose liberality as a nun comes from the fact that she is a former stripper, disagrees with Tammy saying that she enjoys the duet and she is not buying Aural Intensity's number. Rod Remmington raised New Direction in the deliberation and Tammy said that she didn't like Loser Like Me because she never felt like a loser even though she lost the recent election . Rod pushes them to vote afterwards. The governor's wife announced New Directions as the winner. While they were rejoicing, Sue punched the governor's wife straight to the face and she leaves the stage.
Days after the regionals, Blaine and Kurt buried Pavarotti and Blaine thinks that this "funeral" reminds Kurt about the death of her mother. Kurt admits that but the sadness is still compounded by losing the Regionals. Blaine said that they had won each other anyway and the two leaves the grave holding each other's hand.
Back in McKinley, Holly sends her congratulations via a flirty phone call to Will. Will gives Rachel the MVP award. Touched by the appreciation, Rachel delivers an emotional thank-you speech and she was approached by the team ending the episode with their happiest group hug.

Episode 2.15, "Sexy" Recap
The following summary of "Sexy" was written by our new writer, Angel!
In the last week’s episode, Gwyneth Paltrow reprises as Holly Holiday as the aggressive sex education substitute teacher who battled up against the prissy-ness army of Emma and her Celibacy Club. So as Emma teaches Rachel and Quinn to avoid intimacy at any cost, Holly spreads the fact that cucumbers don’t have the ability to spread HIV and storks do not deliver babies. As noted by Holly that all Glee Club members are showing signs of misunderstandings when it comes to sex, Will employed her help and she performed an over-the-top version of “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and everything was spiced up after that.
And as the Regionals draws near, Sue gave hints to Kurt and Blaine that in order for the Warblers to devour New Directions they have to “over-sex” them so they performed a bath-soap-themed version of “Animal” in front of high-socked, mini-skirted ladies from their sister school. Blaine (as always) worked it leaving the girls drooling and panting after Blaine’s number much to their futility. After the performance, Kurt realized that his sex appeal is no more than that of a baby penguin leaving him practicing sexy looks beside Blaine with their dismay. Disturbed about how uninformed Kurt is when it comes to sex, Blaine went to Burt and asked him to have “sex-talks” with Kurt which ended up in Burt awkwardly handling SexEd pamphlets to Kurt.

They were blamin' it on the aaaaaaalcohol alright
The New Directions imbibed enough alcohol to blame a whole episode's worth of antics on! Parties, drinking, spin the bottle, singing and throwing up. The Glee Clubbers did one heck of a number and I'm not talking about their performances.

Glee-Cap: February
Happy March fellow GCO-ers! So sorry I'm behind on my February Glee post, but life got in the way! Anyway....here's what happened in the month of February...
Cast & Guest Stars:
Nick Jonas is the latest celebrity "gleek" to express interest to be on the show. When asked for comment he expressed that he would be "honored" to have him or his music on the show. I could totally see him as a Warbler...Just sayin'.

Nothing Silly About These Love Songs!
As I said in my epic quotes edition for this episode, "Silly Love Songs" was one of my favorite episodes of the season. This episode was cute, although sometimes a little cliche (if you couldn't guess that Blaine's crush was not on Kurt you may have been hiding under a rock for a few too many years), and the performances were solid.
Review: Episode 2.13, “Comeback”
The following was written by friend of the site (and potential new writer!), Chelsea. Remember her, the girl that interviewed Chris Colfer on MTV a few weeks ago? Here's what she had to say about the latest episode...
Overall, I was pleased with this episode. I’m going to talk about the few things that stuck out to me about the episode, even though there are many more things I could share.

Things That Hit Harder Than an Offensive Tackle
The Super Bowl episode (or "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle") definitely hit harder than an offensive tackle in the Super Bowl could, in many ways. The two major happenings of this episode were performances and relationships (the common two).
Don't Get Funkified!
It’s just another day at McKinley High and the Glee kids are happy, because they apparently have a chance at winning Regionals against Vocal Adrenaline, until… well, let the funk battle begin:Sunday, February 06, 2011

Kurt's Turn or How Mario Bros. Changed Civilization
The episode Laryngitis starts with a shock for Glee jock Puck, whose Mohawk got shaved off by the doctor, due to the false diagnosis of a freckle. He doesn’t only lose his scalp hair, but also his confidence and reputation. It goes as far as a dumpster toss by Jacob and his friends, so Puck makes up a plan for getting his rep back: Dating Mercedes, who has become popular since joining the cheerios.Tuesday, February 01, 2011
Glee-Cap: January

Glee-Cap: December
Hey there Gleeks! Long time, no post! I hope everyone had a great holiday and a wonderful New Year!
Chris Colfer got nominated for a SAG Award!!! He's very proud and more importantly proud because it came from his "peers."
I know it's been a while since I last posted, but now it's time for a Glee-Cap of December!
Cast & Guest Stars:
Chris Colfer got nominated for a SAG Award!!! He's very proud and more importantly proud because it came from his "peers." "It's fantastic! It's crazy because where I come from, peers is not necessarily a good word. People are mean to you and they throw things at you and they make fun of you in the hallway, so it's amazing."

Santa Beiste Is Coming To Town
Christmas is fast approaching, so a Christmas episode just before mid-season break is the most appropriate idea to come up with. It was a joyful, varied but also sad episode, since at the beginning, everyone seems to feel the Christmas spirit until several things complicate the celebration of Jesus’ birth.Friday, December 10, 2010
Fear and Loathing at McKinley
…and once again Glee surprised me by making me like what I thought I wouldn’t like:
I watched the original Rocky Horror Picture Show before this episode so I would be able to tell the differences and similarities and I must say, I didn’t like it very much. It was too crazy, kind of overacted and strange and this didn’t make the songs better for me, either. So I hoped the Glee version would be better as they’ve never let me down so far...

Today, Everyone Is In the "Special Education" Class
The New Directions are finally going to Sectionals! And everyone has gone completely off their rockers. The special education the Glee Clubbers are receiving in this episode is much less about education and much more about how we are each individually unique and special with our own gifts and talents and strengths and weaknesses, and when we use our gifts for the benefit of the group we become spectacular enough to...tie the competition.

Glee-Cap: November
Hey Gleeks! How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was fantastic! Hope everyone had a fun and safe one!
-Harry Shum Jr will now be a series regular for season 3! Even though the other Asian has been in almost every episode with the rest of the Glee Club, he will now be considered part of the main cast. Naya Rivera and Heather Morris had similar transitions for season 2. More dancing by the always amazing Mike Chang? Yes, please!
-Katie Couric might be guest starring on Glee! Rumors have it that she'll be playing, well, herself in an episode where she'll be making cameo in the shows post-Super Bowl episode. Katie has also stated that she's a huge fan of the show and a self proclaimed "Gleek" so hopefully everything will work out for her. She might be sharing screen time with Jane Lynch when Sue's Cheerios go to the regional cheerleading championship.
Since this amazing website is up and running again, we sadly have missed some major news, especially some from this month so I'm doing a Glee-cap: November!
Here's watcha missed:
