After last week’s emotional episode it seems like we could possibly be done with Jane Lynch’s character, Sue Sylvester. While no one died during McKinley High’s school “shooting”, the end of Sue Sylvester is just as bad as another character dying. No Sue really isn’t a big surprise if you’ve been watching this season of Glee.
Sue Sylvester got fired from McKinley High on last weeks’ episode of Glee protecting Becky, the down syndrome character that Sue Sylvester always had a soft spot and connection with. Becky brought the gun because she thought she has to protect herself from the world when she graduates. Instead of letting Becky get expelled, Sue says she has a gun in her school, office due to the way things have been going in the country lately. The last we see of Sue is at the end of the episode where she is packing up her things and leaving the school.
I kinda figured we would be saying goodbye to Jane Lynch and her character Sue Sylvester a few episodes into this current season. Sue’s presence at McKinley High has slowly waned from the beginning of the episode and has went some episodes without even being seen or mentioned. Sue has been known from the beginning as the Glee Club’s enemy number one. She quickly grew a fan base with her cruel jokes, heartless thinking, and aggressive off the wall behaviour. Throughout the course of the show we have also seen that Sue is much like an ogre and has layers.She can be very sweet and have sweet moments when it comes to Becky or her sister who died in an episode.
It would seem to me with Glee‘s ratings way down that FOX has asked for the show to cut some of its budget, which is what I guessed when Jane Lynch became more of a guest appearance than a season regular. They can’t cut the music out which is most likely a huge chunk of the shows budget. If you can cut out some regulars then you save per episode and you have more money to pay guest actors and actresses such as Katey Sagal and Kate Hudson who may boost ratings more than a regular would have. Maybe I am wrong and Jane Lynch wanted out to pursue other interest?
I can’t imagine we won’t see Sue Sylvester ever again. I would be crushed if she isn’t on from time to time, I guess kinda like she has been this season. She definitely better make an appearance on the series finale(next season, May 2014?), when ever that may be.
How did you like last weeks episode of Glee ”Shooting Star”? Let me know your thoughts on Jane Lynch’s probable departure and last weeks episode in the comments. Check out my review of the episode down below on my You Tube channel.
I would like to thank The Walking Dead for a phenomenal episode. I would even venture out to say that Sunday’s episode was probably the best episode of the season. I’d even go further out on a limb and say that it was probably one of the better episodes of the whole series.
What made this episode so good? I think this episode was so good because it took the show back to its roots, literally. In this episode Rick, Carl, and Michonne head back to Rick and Carl’s hometown and where the whole series started. The whole reason for them coming here was to get weapons and ammo from the police station that Rick was sheriff. Once they get there they see the weapons and ammo are gone. They decide to go check some other places when the three run into Morgan, who saved Rick back at the beginning of the series. Morgan has made a “safe” sanctuary of sorts where he has been alone and driven crazy since his son died and turned into a zombie. Morgan is played by Lennie James who gave an awesome performance as this character. His acting was done very, very well. This episode also gave Michonne the chance to become less of an outcast in the group by helping Carl get a family photo, so that his baby sister can see what their mother looked like.
At the beginning of the episode, Michonne, Rick, and Carl weren’t enjoying each other’s company. Towards the end of the episode you can see that Carl has warmed up to her, and that leaves hope that the rest of the group, especially Rick, will accept her as one of their own as well. This episode finally gave Michonne more speaking parts. Up until now she mainly has grumbled or just done a damn good job of staring at the other people. I think she is an awesome character and probably one of my favourites. Daryl, who?
Now for the last and most important thing that I loved about this episode. I liked that the safety net of the prison’s walls weren’t in this episode. Even with the Governor’s war coming, the prison still feels too safe, which leads to boring episodes. The lack of safety is what kept most of season one going and entertaining. I am the last person who wants to be scared, but if I am watching a show about zombies, I want there to be zombies all over. The farm was too safe and that lead to boring episodes, and now the same has happened with the prison. I am hoping the war with Woodbury will force the group out of safety next season. I would love a season that’s dangerous and has the group nomadic the whole time.
What did you think about Sunday’s episode and what would you like to see in future episode and seasons? Let me know down below in the comment section.
Saturday on SNL Maya Rudolph hosted “Saturday Night Live”. Typically when an SNL alumni host the show, the show is a good one. This was the case last saturday when Maya hosted. The monologue was funny and Maya and Amy Poehler did the “Bronx Beat” sketch which I frackin’ love! Maya was known for doing her Whitney Houston sketches, but those obviously did not show up saturday night. Maya Rudolph was looking rather pretty on saturday night. Girl can clean up.
My favorite sketch of the night was the Beyonce Baby sketch where Maya is seen playing Beyonce. The rest of the crew play Jay-Z and the train of celebrities that come to visit baby Blue Ivy Carter. My favorite celebrities that were portrayed were Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. All the celebs were well done, but those two were the funniest and right on the money. Take a look at it below and tell me what you think?
