This is the episode everyone is talking about. Two couples will do the deed. Kind of. What I gathered from this episode is that Brittany was possibly raped at summer camp and she thought it was an alien invasion(was that supposed to be funny?), pity sex is romantic, and Artie is the glee club pimp.
The school is busy with preparations for West Side Story and Artie isn’t happy with his lead stars. He thinks they lack passion and should go out and lose their virginities right away. Because that’s totally a legit reason to have sex for the first time. Do they have to get married to act married? Artie is also all over Coach Beiste’s love life and convinces her to let the hot new football coach in. Not like that. But when he finally does ask her out, we get one of the best scenes of the night from Dot.
It may be unpopular but the other best scene of the night is not at all Klaine related. I actually thought most of their scenes were ridiculous. Blaine dancing around Kurt’s room talking about masturbation and then visiting Dalton to absolutely murder a Billy Joel song was really an interesting watch. Who is this new guy singing lead for the Warblers? I can’t tell if it’s the autotune or what but dude is nasal. I kind of want to stick a fork in my ear. Sebastion is a newly introduced Warbler and he’s more of a predator. He wants Blaine and couldn’t care less that Kurt is in the picture.
He invites them both to the local gay bar and Kurt agrees so he can prove to his boyfriend that he can try new things. Blah blah blah. And then..a wild Karofsky appears! Yay! Although :(. Dave has transferred to a new school where he can be happier with himself. It’s not clear if he’s out at his new school because he says more than once he’s just trying to “get through” high school. It’s so sad. But hey, he’s a hot bear cub in the gay community and he’s fine with that. Blaine gets drunk and wants to do Kurt in the back of his car. Kurt rightfully turns him down and Blaine gets pissed at him for not being spontaneous. Is that really a reason to have sex?
Rachel is having a better time getting advice from her friends. She calls all the girls together to ask what they think she should do. Quinn and Santana tell her to wait because they didn’t have great first times. Tina says her first time with Mike was amazing because they were in love. Mike was her first love? Artina :(. Finn is devastated when the football coach doesn’t show interest in recruiting him and thinks his dreams are over. Chin up buddy. You’re about to get laid in front of a fire while music from West Side Story plays. Klaine is doing it in their own room. Everyone’s wearing clothes and you don’t see much which is probably what you’re all wondering. My only comment is that even in bed, Blaine doesn’t wear socks.
Just sayin:
The biggest thing in this episode, at least for me, and the only thing I really cared about was Damian Mcginty’s debut as Rory. Rory is the foreign exchange student from Ireland who is living with Brittany. He wants to get into her pot of gold so spends the majority of this episode trying to grant her three wishes. Seriously. Pairing Rory up with the dumbest character who can’t understand a word he’s saying is funny and all but I can understand him way more than I can understand Heather’s mumbling.
When he’s not taking all the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms for Brittany, Rory just really wants some friends. And he’s just so adorable that I find it hard to believe a cute guy with an accent would have any trouble making friends in high school. I guess it’s more believable that trailer douches with mullets would beat him up all day long. Poor kid. He calls his mom “Mommy” you jerks! Rory idolizes Finn and Finn wants to help the Glee club which is under certain distress right now so, he asks Rory to join. And Rory really has a great voice. He sings Bein’ Green and I like this one better out of the two songs he gets to sing. He also sings Take Care of Yourself as his audition for the group. Kurt spends the performance making bitch faces because there is now a second guy who can sing a falsetto. If that was someone making a face at Kurt I’d never hear the end of it from Klainers. Invisible socks!
Sorry guys but I enjoyed Santana’s crazy faces when Blaine celebrated the Glee club making enough money for their show. Blaine and the group, minus Santana, dance around the room and sing Last Friday Night. It’s a fun song with no real purpose. Reminds me of season 1 when the kids would sing for no reason at all. Sue decides to personally attack the musical and fails at cutting the funds when Burt decides to run against her. Go Burt! You can be horny with rage all you want Sue but you will never be as flawless as that man.
Santana is joining the mullet bunch in bullying Rory for having a crush on Brittany. I thought the things Santana was saying to him were so sad. I just wanted to give him a hug. Santana wants Brittany all to herself and gets her to leave New Directions to join the Troubletones with Sugar and Mercedes. They perform a lackluster version of Candyman and I’m not really jumping out of my seat here. It reeks of spite and selfishness. Shelby is happy with the group though and she’s happy when Puck and Quinn offer to help babysit Beth. Quinn has a different idea and plants damaging evidence of child abuse around Shelby’s apartment.
Puck is shocked when she actually goes through with calling child services. Lucky for him, they apparently suck in Ohio and don’t have the time to investigate. Puck gets closer to Shelby when she helps him get more work for his pool cleaning business (hello shirtless Puck and season 1 shoutout!). Puck goes back to Shelby’s to get the things Quinn planted. While he’s there, he offers to help Shelby whenever she needs it and sings Waiting For A Girl Like You to Beth. Or was it to Shelby? Either way it’s getting gross up in here and the two of them kiss.
Funniest Quotes of the Night:
Rory: Hudson..that’s Irish right?
Cory: No, my mom’s from Toledo.
Puck: But what really gets my nipple ring to twitch is cougars.
Mullet bunch: Say U2 is overrated!
Rory: Never!
What happens when someone commits murder in Terra Nova? What’s their punishment? You would think that being thrown into the jungle without a gun to fend for yourself would be incentive enough to follow the rules..but someone in Terra Nova can’t be trusted.
A man is killed by a dinosaur while on duty outside of Terra Nova. At first it’s thought to be an innocent dinosaur attack but Jim thinks otherwise. He thinks it was a murder. They investigate and are led to a man who caught his wife having an affair with the man who was killed. He freely confesses to killing him. Jim isn’t satisfied with his confession after talking to his wife and starts to dig a little deeper.
Taylor makes a shocking judgment. It really is like old times here. The entire colony gathers to hear how Taylor is going to punish the suspect. I’m getting vibes of how there used to be public hangings. He reaches his verdict and decides to stick with the bylaws and banish him outside of the walls of Terra Nova. It’s not a popular decision all around. Some would rather he be imprisoned. This is the equivalent of a death sentence.
Taylor is pissed when Jim goes to retrieve the banished man to bring him back when he believes he falsely confessed. Taylor is pretty scary in this episode. They unearth an illegal gambling ring in the bar that Josh works at. Are they really surprised? I mean, really. What else is there to do during the day at Terra Nova? It’s not like there are TVs or tennis courts. They take the untrustworthy owner of the bar in for questioning. Taylor’s hate for this man may be real but his arrest is not. They stage an arrest with the bar owner to catch one of the soldiers who actually committed the crime. Taylor takes him to an empty field somewhere and tries to beat the confession out of him. Then he leaves him without any weapons, food, clothes, or a way to defend himself against dinos.
Josh is digging himself in deeper and deeper. Skye wants to help him get his girlfriend to Terra Nova but thinks Josh working with the bar owner and the Sixers is the wrong way to go about it. She tags along when Josh is sent to see Mira about communicating with 2149. Apparently she has a way that it’s possible. She makes a deal with Josh. She will agree to help him get his girl if he promises to do a favor for her in the future no questions asked. Yeah. That’s not gonna end up being bad at all.
I hate to say it but this episode was kind of slow and felt more like an episode of Law and Order or something. I was more interested in what was happening with The Sixers than anything else. Looks like next week will be much better.
Tonight, the Halloween special of Pretty Little Liars premiered. Complete with 2008 references, a creepy new intro and a Halloween party with the face-off of all face-offs, this episode pretty much made everyone suspicious.
What we learned:
- Alison has a sick interest in scary stories. The episode kicks off with Alison telling a little kid the gruesome tale of twin sisters. One twin stabs and kills the other, smiles, and is carted off to an insane asylum only to escape and attack on Halloween. At one point in the episode, we catch a glimpse of a van from the local sanitarium. I’ve long hoped that Alison had an evil twin somewhere so if this was foreshadowing a possible new storyline, I’m all for it.
- Noel Kahn and his eyebrows are the most popular guy in school. Noel has the biggest Halloween party in town and just about everyone shows up. Even hot detective Wilden..in his uniform..drinking with kids. The cops in this town are so professional.
- Jenna and Alison have had problems from the start. Jenna moves to town in this episode and not everyone is happy to see her. Toby is depressed his father remarried and Ali is pissed that another girl dares to dress as Lady Gaga to the same party. And she does it better. Telephone Gaga didn’t even exist in 2008 Alison AND your wig looks like a helmet. Alison offers her an easy route to popularity if she plays ball but Jenna turns her down and prefers to make her own friends. Moments later, Mona and Jenna meet and hit it off. Hmmm.
- Dorky Mona is adorable but creepin’. This episode featured a ton of character cameos from past episodes. Detective Wilden was around, Jason and his stoner buddies were making movies in his bedroom, Ian is dating Melissa and enjoying his new HD camcorder, Fitz is still in college, and Mona is always around getting dissed by the girls. The only people she bonds with in the episode are Lucas and his adorable pumpkin sweater and Jenna. HMM. Melissa and Ian also ping my suspicion radar when they go dressed as Bonnie and Clyde.
- Alison was A’s first target. I guess this disproves that Alison is A. Alison is being watched and targeted with anonymous texts and violent notes in this episode. “It’s my tuen to torture you.” Sure sounds like they want us to think it’s Lucas. Alison is such a bitch to everyone though that it could be anyone. Alison grabs Noel and plans a prank on the girls that leads them to think that Alison is being attacked by a killer with a knife in an abandoned house. They watch her get attacked with a huge blade until she knees the killer and runs out. They try to find her and she laughs and says it was a joke to test their loyalty. They go back to the party and Alison thanks Noel for coming through. He tells her he didn’t have his car and was unable to make it. The creepy masked stalker calls Alison a bitch and walks away only to unmask themselves and reveal it’s Lucas. Alison gets one last text telling her she will soon know who they are. Then a second masked person is revealed but their face is not shown.
What did you think of tonight’s episode? Any new theories? Pretty Little Liars returns in January.
Taylor, Jim and the rest of the colony are thrown for a loop when an orphaned girl shows up at camp claiming to want to find a way back to 2149. She’s dirty, starving and scared. After a meal and a hairbrush, she goes to stay with Jim and his family while they try to figure out what’s going on. Taylor is suspicious of the girl from the start and thinks she may have been sent from the Sixers to spy.
Mira and the sixers show up with their war paint and bad ass attitudes to get her back. The girl refuses and wants to stay and Mira is visibly annoyed that she gave up two hostages for nothing. Taylor and his silky white beard are pissed that Mira even knew the girl was staying with them. He blames it on the mole in camp and enlists Jim’s help in identifying them.
Turns out that Taylor was right all along and the girl is a spy. Mira was putting up a show so the little girl could gain Taylor’s trust. She breaks into Mira’s old house to steal a box that was hidden in the floor. Jim catches her before she can escape with it and takes her to Taylor and his bitchin’ dino desk. Where can I get one of those?
The girl has no idea what’s inside or how to open it and claims she thinks Mira will hurt her brother if she didn’t steal it. Taylor doesn’t believe her but Jim does. He goes against orders to find his brother but finds himself erm, turned upside down. Literally. He’s almost a dino snack before Mira’s minions find him and take him back to their hide out. Mira questions Jim and seems disappointed that he believes in Taylor. She paints him the bad guy and says that he pissed off a lot of people back in 2149 and if she gets rid of him, she’ll get to see her daughter again. When Jim gets back to camp, it looks like he may be starting to doubt Taylor. What is he hiding?
