Fandom on the Rocks

Everyone hanging in there?

This is S3E7, "I Kissed a Girl."  After being outed by Finn, Santana works towards self love and acceptance, getting a little help from The New Directions during "Lady Music Week" in the process.  Meanwhile, accusations of cheating swirl around the student class president election and Coach Beiste worries about her relationship with Cooter.

Kevin McScale: . 5 - was Kevin even in this episode?
Klainedex: 6 - for the full duet of "Perfect." But 7.5 for the eye contact.
Coulda Shoulda Woulda Index: 50s - Brit should have sung "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

If you missed it, we posted our episode in remembrance of Naya Rivera.  Listen to it here.

Welcome to our bonus episode where we remember the life, talents, and career of Naya Rivera.  We reminisce about her time before Glee, her impact on the show, and more.  This is our space to chat, remember, and grieve, and we hope you can join us in this process.

Stay healthy.  Mask up.  Take care of each other.

xoxo, GotR

Listener's Note: We recorded and edited this episode before Naya Rivera's tragic passing, which is why there's no commentary about it.  We held off posting as we took time to deal and gather our thoughts.

The next episode is "I Kissed a Girl," which heavily features Santana in an important storyline.  We're going to wait a little bit before recording it to give ourselves, and our listeners, a little more time to decompress.  First we're going record a tribute episode of sorts - more on that soon.  For now, please enjoy this episode and remember Naya in your favorite way.

This is S3E6, "Mash Off."  The New Directions are still quibbling with The Troubletones and the only way to solve it is, you guessed it, a mash off competition.  The result is one of the greatest Glee covers of the whole series:  Rumor Has It/Someone Like You.

Kevin McScale: .5 - for injuring Darren during the dodgeball scene
Klainedex: 2 - one point for standing on the choir room chairs, and one for Blaine's face during the student council speech
Coulda Shoulda Woulda Index: 30s - the lack of an actual storyline with Rachel and Shelby; honestly would have paid money to see Finn lift Blaine a la Dirty Dancing

Take care of each other.

This is S3E5, "The First Time."  Power couples Kurt and Blaine and Finn and Rachel go down to bone town because the teenage director of their high school musical told them they should. Meanwhile, Dalton has a new Warbler in the form of one Sebastian Smythe, and the New Directions finally put on West Side Story without a single drama nerd's help.  It's not half bad, actually.

Kevin McHale Scale: 3.5 - for screen time and storyline, but a downgrade for no song
Klainedex: 9.5 - we mean, did you SEE this episode??
Coulda Shoulda Woulda Index: 15 - honestly they needed to lose some more clothes

Hello!  Welcome to the first installment of what we're calling the Voices of Glee episodes.

We wanted to do this in recognition of the long history of Black/Brown/POC/Queer voices being excluded from the media.  From writers, directors, and producers, to journalists, commentators, and reviewers, and every position of influence and authority in between.

This episode is hosted by Monica, Ambre, and Julien - three more Glee fans who come from different backgrounds than your usual hosts, but who have just as strong of opinions.  We loved listening to their conversation about Glee and we're sure you will too.

There was much to talk about so this episode has been split into two.  This is Part 1.  Part 2 will be posted on Tuesday.

How's everyone coping? Good? Just okay? Climbing the walls yet? We feel.

This is S3E4, "Pot O' Gold."  The Glee Project "winner" Damian McGinty arrives as exchange student Rory Flanagan, Father of the Decade Burt Hummel decides to run against Sue in the congressional race, and Shelby starts recruiting for the rival all-girl Glee club - The Troubletones.

Kevin McHale Scale: 0.25 - I mean really? We were cheated.
Klainedex: 5 - for the Last Friday Night cuteness.
Coulda Shoulda Woulda Index: Tina was the most fucked over and should have joined The Troubletones.

Is everyone remembering to lotion up after washing your hands 54x a day? This is S3E3, "Asian F."  In an episode touted as "Mike Chang-centric," we've got Mercedes tired AF of standing in Rachel's spotlight, Kurt and Blaine competing for the same role but being cute AF doing so, and Mr. Schue meeting Emma's rude AF parents.  Also, Mike has parents!

Kevin McHale Scale: 0.5 for was he even in this episode?

We know times are strange right now, but are they as strange as an episode of Glee? (Yes, we're being facetious, the world is scary. STAY HOME.)

This is S3E2 - "I Am Unicorn."  Kurt is running for Student Body President and campaign manager Brit wants him to lean into the unicorn.  Schue makes some of the New Directions attend Booty Camp and Shelby Corcoran returns to shake things up even more.

Kevin McHale Scale: 2.5 - you decide why

Welcome to Season 3 of Glee, and of Glee on the Rocks.  By Executive Order we've decided to just give ourselves seasons too, because why not?  We're professionals.

This is S3E1, "The Purple Piano Project." Once again, the New Directions are looking for members and Mr. Schue has them perform in public to recruit.  Meanwhile, Kurt and Rachel discover other talented teenagers and Blaine Warbler becomes Blaine Anderson.

Kevin McHale Scale: 0 - not a great way to start a new season
