Just finished watching this week's episode of Glee titled Yes/No, and I absolutely loved it. It's so over-the-top and unabashedly romantic. Granted with any episode of Glee you do have to check reality at the door, but I am completely happy to just enjoy the ride.
SPOILER ALERT!
The end proposal was surprising, but looking back they definitely telegraphed it throughout the episode, with Finn finding out that his dad was not the war hero that he thought he was, and Rachel singing "Without You" to him. Corey Monteith did a great job at showing Finn's desperation to hang on to the one good thing he has in his life.
The opening "Summer Nights" number is a fantastic nod to Grease. I'm glad Chord Overstreet came back - he's a great addition to the cast. The chemistry between him and Amber Riley is very strong. Santana as Rizzo was obviously perfect, but I thought the best part was Sugar as Frenchie. She got the look down pat. I'm starting a campaign for Rory and Sugar to get together - I think it would be hilarious and a great match.
The proposal scene between Will and Emma was so crazy. Various Glee cast members have mentioned about how the shoot in the water was so miserable because it was so cold and intricate, but the end result was certainly eye-popping. The best part was Artie driving into the pool with his wheelchair. That was a great sight gag. The professional synchronized swimmers were amazing, and the girls look so cute in their 50s-inspired bathing suits.
I think Glee has found its footing again after starting a little slow this season. Let's hope next week's Michael Jackson episode lives up to the hype.
