Thoughts of A Sleep Deprived Mind

@sleepdeprivedmind / sleepdeprivedmind.tumblr.com

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I'm Connie, a member of the Tumblr geriatric ward and pop culture enthusiast.
If you'd like to bring something to my attention, please tag "sleepdeprivedmind".
This is my place to blog about my favorite broadcast and streaming shows (Star Trek: Discovery, This is Us, The Flash, Glee, etc.), movies (Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar), actors (Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, and many more), music, food, technology, politics and whatever captures my interest at the moment.

Every time I hear the Glee version of "Like a Virgin," I remember being shocked and delighted to know that the mean cheerleader, aka Santana, could saaaang. The first time I heard fun.'s breakthrough hit "We Are Young," was on Glee, so something is missing when I can't hear Rachel and Mercedes belt their hearts out. And "I Want to Hold Your Hand"? Yes, it's one of the most iconic Beatles hits of all times, but I can still close my eyes and picture Kurt tearily singing in the choir room to his sick dad, hospitalized from a shocking heart attack. Sniffle.

This is in the new TV Guide for 3/10-3/23 

The whole page is Glee and has the following quote from Darren:

Although Criss says he was jazzed to “have all the gang back together,” he was worried about tackling songs his costars crushed the first time around. “The numbers that were great were great because of the people who did them. I don’t want to be screwing up someone else’s number!” Criss is thankful that the songs fans most wanted to hear again won’t be cookie-cutter remakes. “We’re doing different versions of them and re-celebrating them.”

2012's Best Episodes: Glee's New Beginnings and Vampire Diaries' New Undead

10. “The New Rachel,” Glee It’s fun to see Rachel’s new life in New York, but Glee’s Season 4 premiere is about so much more. Can the show survive the graduation of eight main characters? Ryan Murphy’s gamble pays off though, as this hour shows us that in addition to successfully juggling geography, it introduces several promising new glee clubbers, most notably Marley Rose, Ryder Lynn and Jake Puckerman. Gold star!

[TV Guide] Ask Matt

Question: A lot of viewers are upset about Kurt and Blaine’s break-up on Glee. I’m holding out hope it is because 1) Long-distance relationships don’t play well on TV; and 2) The intent is to recharge “Klaine” and bring them back together later in the season. It has also given Darren Criss a chance to shine (his meltdown during “Teenage Dream” was heartbreaking and it sets up some great material for him in upcoming eps). Kurt and Blaine were happy in Season 3 and as a result were back-burnered for a majority of episodes. “Klaine” is probably the closest the gay community has ever come to having a “super couple.” They are loved by the media & have a huge straight female following. Surely Ryan Murphy wouldn’t just throw away something so groundbreaking. A strong positive portrayal of a gay relationship is needed now more than ever. I’m on board with the break-up as long as it brings excitement and many swoon-worthy moments on the path toward a reconciliation. What do you think? — Matt

Matt Roush: Looking past my disdain for cutesy handles like “Klaine,” my feeling on this storyline is that it was not only a natural progression for these characters (given the long-distance post-grad evolution of the show) but essential for both to continue to grow. The fact that you responded so strongly to Blaine’s angst in the “Teenage Dream” sequence reinforces the dramatic justification for Glee to go there, even at the risk of upsetting some of the show’s fan base. I don’t know (but would suspect) that they’re heading for an eventual make-up, but it would have less impact if the break-up itself hadn’t been so powerful.

..and here I sit with a big grin on my face. Matt Roush is speculating, of course, just like the rest of us, but it's very nice to have a media critic reinforce a similar mindset. :)

Things may get bumpy for Klaine now that Kurt (Chris Colfer) is in New York, but Darren Criss is confident about their long-term future. “I think we’ve set up the fact that they are the couple that people like, so we have our Ross and Rachel,” he says. “Regardless of if they are together or not for the rest of the season, it’s going to be that exciting [relationship] that you always want to happen, so to me that’s like a victory.” If the two go their separate ways, however, Criss sounded none too keen on the idea of a new love interest. “Ew, I hope not,” he says. “He better be really cute.”

Darren Criss on Glee's New Hierarchy

The battle to become “the new Rachel” began last night in Glee’s season premiere, but even though Artie declared Blaine to be the winner of the “Call Me Maybe” showdown, that doesn’t mean New Directions has locked in its star performer just yet.

“Blaine might want to be that, but Darren doesn’t!” admits Darren Criss, adding that he’s actually more excited to see transfer-student Blaine becoming one of the gang with his fellow classmates. “I am a huge Tina Cohen-Chang fan, so any time I get to spend with Jenna Ushkowitz is great. Blaine hasn’t had a whole lot of interaction with Tina or Brittany, and very little with Artie. So yeah, to hang with all the kids he’s a senior with now… I am really excited about that.”

So if it’s not Blaine taking on all the solos, who does Criss think should be the one to lead New Directions to more potential wins? “I would like to see Jenna or Kevin become that because they’re the original members from all the way back to the pilot.”

Spoken like a true class act. Mr. Schue should be proud.
