GLEE Season 2 "Britney/Brittany"

Why?  Why?  Why must the producers of GLEE have to push the homo-status of this show into overdrive?  Not that I'm complaining mind you, but given that I'm constantly gripping onto whatever traces of masculinity I can while watching episodes of GLEE, a Brittany Spears themed episode pretty much makes me slip off the edge.... the gay edge.


That being said, I thought the episode rocked.  As a word of caution though, the plot of the episode was sparse at best and only marginally holding together an excuse to produce anesthesia-induced music videos in the Glee Club members' heads.  The club's own Britney S. Pierce, played by Heather Morris, really came out of her shell this season.  She may not have the most powerful vocals in the cast, but that girl knows how to command a performance.


Let us of course focus on the most important point of this episode, the introduction of Dr. Carl, played by John Stamos.... omg, "Uncle Jesse" is a hot daddy now.  Yummy.

The true romance of the show is the tension between Mr. Schue and Dr. Carl.  Sorry Emma.

In my head, Dr. Carl is questioning why the male escort he ordered was subbed out by Britney.

My fear of Dentists wouldn't be so prominent if they looked like Dr. Carl.

STAND OUT PERFORMANCE

I think without a doubt it would have to be the Glee Club's pep rally performance of Britney Spears' "Toxic".  It's always such a treat for me when GLEE changes up the original version of the song when deciding on their vocal arrangements.  This one definitely refused to shy away from the more theatrical aspect of what they do while giving a little bit of a wink to a Bob Fosse'esque, smoldering, jazzy, omg-it's-so-good, style of dance.  My fave of the season, Mike Change, didn't do much talking this episode but he still managed to stand out.  Look at the way he practically molests that hat.  Yes please.
