Review - Glee - 5.02 - Tina in the Sky with Diamonds

Yesterday was Glee’s second episode to its fifth season. Tina in the Sky with Diamonds was obviously the continuity to last week's Beatles themed episode. It really had this Glee feeling, the one that made me fall in love with the show in the first place.

The episode focused on McKingley High’s prom night, starting out with the announcement of the nominees for prom king and queen. The choices consisted of two cheerios, Kitty and Tina along with the stoner kid, Artie, Blaine and a nobody. Yeah, he had no chance in hell of winning, was also my opinion. I am not from the States, so I cannot really know for sure. Is prom king and queen really as much of a deal as American sitcoms make it out it to be? Anyhow, Tina became this monster biatch upon learning she was nominated for prom queen. She even engaged the help of her minion to help her maximise her chances of winning. She even dumped Sam, his new hairdo probably didn’t help. She though going with a group of single ladies would help her cause more, yep it's definatly the hair.

There is a new mean Cheerio in town, but I just don’t believe it. Also, cheers for a new Santana, Brittany(the one in the neck brace) and Quinn (aka Kitty). New Satana, also known as Bree(I think) is supposed to be the new villain of the show. The only problem is ever time she opens her mouth, I just want to slap her out of it. She just isn’t able to look threatening. She doesn’t look mean, but she surely acts mean. She pulled the Carrie prank on Tina. By the way Kitty, congratulations on the slowest possible reaction for that prank. Was it really pig blood or just red slushies? I wonder. Also, I was kind of hoping for Tina to turn all telekinetic on us and start a fire trapping everybody in the gym or something, but this is Glee.

In true sisterhood, the glee girls and Unique, cleaned Tina up and lent her a dress so she could go do her five word long acceptance speech.

Upon being dumped by Tina and realising he is pretty unlucky in love, Sam develops a weird relationship, which I found pretty cute, with the young nurse Sue hired to give everyone polio shots. At the end of the season, everyone is probably going to end up dead though, she is more than incompetent. She's almost as bad as Terri in season one. I like people starting to have relationships outside the Glee club. So much inbreeding is going on right now, it’s making me dizzy.


During the New York part of this episode,Santana starred in a commercial for yeast infection medication (Yeah, I love yeast in my Bagel, but not in my muffin!). Rachel was kind of jealous. Thumbs up Rachel for acting like a friend, my, have you grown since season 1. Then, yet another lesbian was introduced, not just any lesbian though, Demi Levato. I loved her duet with Santana of Here Come’s the Sun. Santana and Dani, shared a connection which I am sure we will continue to explore during at least a couple of episodes, I don’t have that much of an opinion on this couple right now.

In other news, Rachel got the part in Funny Girl, not that anyone is allowed to be surprised. I still got a little emotional when I witnessed Rachel’s reaction. I know, I am a softy.

P.S. Prepare your tissues for next week ladies and gentlemen because it’s going to be a sad one. The preview made my eyes teary, can’t imagine the episode. Hope they don’t screw it up.
