John is back as host for Glee Chat‘s final season premiere episode recapping Glee season 6, episode 1 “Loser Like Me” and episode 2 “Homecoming.”
*Recap of the episodes starts at around 20:35*
-You can hear Natalie on NATWP, and her, Caitlin and Mitch on ReWatchable.
-Mitch rehashes the death of Poké Chat.
-Caitlin was the biggest influence on Natalie’s Flashbacks scheduling.
-We all feel nostalgic about the How to Succeed in Business era
-AND Roxanne update. Damn, we had a lot to catch you up on listeners!
-Oh yeah, and Hypable editor Donya has the best storytelling voice of all time.
-Mitch and Jack are formulating something…
–Jack’s letter groups together the influences this show has had on us.
-Even if the final episode of Glee sucks, we’ll still cry our eyes out.
Glee season 6, episode 1 “Loser Like Me”
-Wow, this really started off in a darker tone.
-“Uninvited” was more than stellar, but still, what a depressing way to start off!
-But Rachel, this is just one Pilot that the general public probably didn’t even see.
-Was this opening supposed to relate to how the ending of Roseanne played out? Like, is it all a dream?
-No one told Rachel about the house being sold and the divorce?
-What. Is. The. Timeline.
-Jack wants Rachel to suffer.
-Suddenly, “Suddenly Seymour.”
-We claim this Glee Chat mansion as our own.
–Super Mario Bros.-style.
-BlaineXRachel endgame.
-Someone on Glee Chat is the mole. It HAS to be. Four hosts got their deepest, darkest wishes in these two episodes.
-Like, “Home,” “Take on Me,” Darren on “Suddenly Seymour,” and the Unholy Trinity on “Problem.” EVEN SEBASTIAN GOT A MENTION.
-How DARE Sue do those random body weigh ins.
-Caitlin loved the Sebastian dance moves in “Sing.”
-That jacket shrine was absolutely ridiculous and fabulous.
–This season’s Klaine breakup.
-Kurt’s bandaid of trying to get Blaine to move back in wasn’t going to cut it.
-Everyone’s in therapy, and we couldn’t be any happier.
-And NOW Jack wants Blaine to be in pain. What a horrible host!
-John really didn’t think Will was being cute in his first scene.
-#KendraForSeason6
-Ratings talk y’all!
-Poor 2.0’s. And it really made no sense to write them off just to have to bring in some randos to meet the Sectionals standard.
–That’s So Rachel? Made no sense, in the ‘verse?
-Rachel’s publicist is her evil archenemy that she never knew she had.
-!A wild Blainofsky appeared!
-Do we even have to make the “Let it Go” pun that we want to here?
Glee season 6, episode 2 “Homecoming”
-Why would Blaine state that he thought half of the Warblers were gay?
-But no one was really oppressing her because Dalton is a single-sex school to start off with.
-Natalie suggests The Hairy Bird with Kirsten Dunst to follow our discussion of single-sex schools.
-It was neat that the “Take On Me” transition went throughout the entire episode!
-Two Rachels are better than one!
-It’s funny that this post-modern gay kid rips on the very show that he’s in that gave positive gay role models for him to follow.
-Spencer is an odd thing. Haven’t we already seen this all in Sebastian?
-We’re not really sure how to feel about Jane’s “Tightrope.”
-Kitty calling out the originals for their shit gave us life.
-No one put in an effort for the 2.0’s, and Kitty is the last survivor of said massacre.
-Natalie teaches a Flowers in the Attic lesson.
-“They’re always in the showers.”
-Quinn’s laugh.
-“Sue, get me a better *redacted for your eyes*.”
And now, the intense “every ‘Glee’ ship ever” chart
