Can I just say that listening to Groff on Spring Awakening and then a billion times on Hello made me totally surprised by what he brings to these classic rock numbers?
That's what I said!! I was totally blown away and impressed and YUM. :9 As if I needed to be more attracted to him. Sheesh.
"Tell Me Something Good" was...hot. NGL. I find Will scorchingly hot, even though he's a doofus, and his hotness plus Sue's facial expressions just kinda made it gold, IMO. But also quite embarrassing. ;)
And that's a good point about Groff actually kind of being too good for a douche-y part--I think we were supposed to be kinda invested in them, but at the same time kinda hate him because he's a schemer and because he says things like "my CLEARLY SUPERIOR ideas" and whatnot. I just...yeah, I figured that pairing wouldn't last because (a) Groff's not on the show full-time and (b) they've got to make way for boring old Rachel/Finn, but did they have to kill the ship so horribly?! I was convinced she'd have to choose between him and New Directions in some way, and she'd choose her friends and he'd be all "*Single Manly Tear* I respect your choice because we're both ~stars~ and you have to follow your dreams" or some such nonsense. Not THAT. Either he loved her and put his stupid VA friends ahead of her, which means he sucks, or he never really cared all along, which means he sucks more. GREAT.
Once again, Artie is the voice of reason--that was offensive. And I REALLY didn't like the Quinn/Mercedes scene, because I don't buy them as friends and I am really, really sick of poor, victim!Quinn. She's going through a hard time, sure, but that's because she made bad choices. And besides, she only just randomly started being nice--she was majorly mean to everyone before! Why are they all her BFFs?! And I wasn't sure if Mercedes was a tragic hero because of her size or her race, as you said, but both are just really not cool and kind of offensive and inconsistent--when have we seen that?! Sue tried to make her lose weight, but Sue's nuts, and we haven't seen students treating her badly. Really really did not like that.
I watch this show because the music is great and sometimes it's funny. Everything else makes me want to put my head through a wall. 'S that simple, I'm afraid.
