I noticed in the opening credits that Marti Noxon was in charge of this episode, but until [livejournal.com profile] cindergalpointed it out, I hadn't made the connection.   Now it makes so much more sense why there was out-of-nowhere domestic abuse (with the abused going back to the abuser), how the 'girls' misinterpreted their assignment to turn a song about victimization into empowerment by doing... Cell Block Tango (Though I did enjoy Roz pointing out that the assignment wasn't to find crazy ladies in their underwear singing about killing people).  Er... yeah. 

Couldn't you guys have simply copied "Being Erica" as they actually did a pretty good job of the actual assignment of recognizing how abuse is often subliminal in pop.

And how else could it possibly end but in a literal ode to tears?

Hi Marti!

Hee!

Need to watch Glee latest ep and Being Erica finale. Thank you for reminding me! And thank you for reminding me of this wonderful moment I loved about Being Erica and Britney's song. Too bad Glee didn't copy this moment, it was epic!

*runs off to watch Glee*

Is it weird that I don't remember exactly what happened in the Erica finale... other than everyone got a happy ending?

And, yeah, as soon as there was an assignment, I thought of "Hit Me Baby."

I noticed that they kind of missed the point of Cell Block Tango anyway, since they cut the verse about the non-English-speaking woman who was executed for a murder she didn't commit. :/

You know, if the glee club saved up all the money they must spend on the elaborate costumes and props and stage settings they use every week and then never again, they would NEVER have to worry about travel expenses.

Yeah but it would kill the line if they included that part of the song. You know the rule, anything can be sacrificed for a joke. ;)

Seriously their budget for lighting and dry ice alone could put a dent into it.

Yeah, that was more than out of bizarro left field.

I take it she didn't get that needed therapy yet.

And wow--never noticed...all that in that song before :P I only ever noticed the subliminal sexual messages in pop music of my childhood.

Why get therapy when retelling it is so lucrative?

Yeah, I was totally pissed off at turning Coach Beiste into a victim; I'd been so happy at her winning the man from Sue. Blah. Thanks, Marti.
