Rachel refers to Santana as “Gina Gershon Jr.” in 5x10.  ahh, the Beetlejuice Effect.

Kurt’s looking forward to fashion week.

he and Blaine have apparently been over the cheating thing, and Blaine’s explained his state of mind during, so I’m glad it’s at least part of the conversation between them?  hurray for communication between the bad brains boyfriends.

Kurt jokes “weren’t Bethanny and Jason supposed to be forever”? referring to a former star of the Real Housewives of New York and her high-profile divorce.  Blaine counters with “Will and Jada”, apparently Will and Jada Smith, and “Kurt and Goldie”.  Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have both apparently been in shittons of stuff that I’ve never seen, but they’ve been married since 1983.

also, fun fact: from a previous marriage Goldie Hawn had a child by the name of Kate Hudson, aka Cassandra July.  if you want a fourth wall, you’re in the wrong place.

Kurt names himself Goldie, which makes Blaine Kurt Russell.  apparently he was starred in a movie as Elvis Presley, so it works.

1) All of this is great. 2) I've been meaning to google Bethanny and Jason since the ep aired and kept forgetting, so thanks for filling me in!

"there seems to be a pattern with Glee – first we insult you, then we hire you. We did the same thing with John Stamos. If you’ve been insulted by our show, expect a phone call" - Chris Colfer

The West Wing approach to continuity…

At this point who even is left to guest star?

The moment when Sue calls Mercedes “Whoopi” is immediately followed by calling Kurt “Don Knotts.”

Don Knotts died back in 2006.

~Kurt and death associations whoooooo~

ETA: Though Kurt and death is everywhere, Burt doesn't link him to death, Kurt's not Rock Hudson (dead) gay, but he sings like Dianna Ross (alive) and dresses like he owns a chocolate factory (fictional...and sort of magical)

At this point who even is left to guest star?

Justin Timberlake, David Boreanaz (for Sue’s celebrity father of Robin), Hugh Jackman, and President Obama… (That’s my wishlist anyway)

Patti LuPone showed up too, but she’s not on the list for some reason?

Whitney died D=, so no her =/

Beyonce, Bernadette Peters, Babs, Kelly Rowland, OJ (lol), uh… idk.

But the Beetlejuice effect is a thing!

unsure if President Obama’s cameo in TNN absolves him or not

Good point with Patti.  

Can Bernadette Peters be on Glee?  She was on Smash.  How does that work with universes? :-P

Rock Hudson and Judy Garland are dead as well.

Christopher Cross, Burt Reynolds, Madonna, both George Bushes

That is an excellent question about Obama.

At this point who even is left to guest star?

We need a list of every proper noun they've ever used.

“So we’re taking coaching advice from Lance Bass now?”

Lance Bass is one of the members of ‘N Sync - ‘N Sync probably has the best band name to point out the problem with the football team btw, as they’re not in synch - and Bass officially came out as gay in 2006. (After Perez Hilton had been posting items about him for about a year.)

As much as Puck thinks Glee-club is gay and whatnot, he knows this reference. An interesting contrast to Showmance, in which Finn doesn’t know who (fellow ex-‘N Synch member) Justin Timberlake is.

Patiently waiting for my Lance Bass guest star moment

Not so patiently waiting for late 90s early 2000s boy band music on Glee.

Mercedes: “Miss Sylvester!” (Sue is not wearing any of the wonderful hairstyles tey tried on her in their Vogue video)

Sue: “Oh hey there Whoopi. Don Knotts.”

Mercedes: “What happened?

/cut to scene with Figgins, cut back/

Sue: “See kids, Sue Sylvester realized she didn’t need to reinvent herself, she needed to reinvent everybody else. Starting with you two.”

(top pic is as she says “you two” and the lower two are what follows before the scene cuts away)

MERCEDES IS WEARING A GOLD KEY AS HER NECKLACE.

A KEY.
