Fandom on the Rocks – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome back to Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, where nothing good ever happens—ever.

In 3×10, "The Overlooked," the gang is trapped in the hospital between a rock and a hard place. Cora is very sick and Derek and Peter need Jennifer's help to cure her. But Jennifer won't help unless the werewolves protect her from the Alphas, who have finally come calling. We finally learn about Jennifer Blake's backstory—her history with Kali of the Alpha Pack, her past as an Emissary, and the sacrifices she's made to seek her revenge.

Unfortunately, we end the episode on Jennifer's next pick for a sacrifice and the decisions the pack will make to ensure they get home safely.

Buckle up, Gleeks—it’s the 100th episode, which means Glee is throwing everything at the wall to see what sings. Sticks! To see what sticks. This is a no-pun zone (allegedly). We’ve got a chaotic double-feature recap for you because everyone showed up for this one and we talked too long, so you’re getting Part 1 and Part 2. The algorithm says no one wants 2.5-hour episodes 🤷‍♀️.

In Part 1 of this very special (read: unhinged) 100th episode, New Directions is being shut down for real this time (no, seriously—for real), and suddenly everyone who graduated three years ago but never emotionally left is back in the choir room. Quinn’s here, Puck’s lurking, Mercedes is glowing, and Santana is serving full sass-per-minute per SAG-AFTRA guidelines.

💥 Plot? Technically, yes:

• Sue’s destroying the glee club because she hates joy. Or music. Or teenagers. It’s unclear.

• Will is spiraling but trying to disguise it as leadership.

• Everyone’s singing songs we’ve already heard, now with 50% more nostalgia filters and wistful glances. (Spoiler: the OG versions were better.)

• Rachel wants to rewrite history (again), Mercedes isn’t having it (again), and a sing-off happens that is somehow both unnecessary and essential to our healing.

• Puck and Quinn have tension—the kind that says “we’ve made questionable choices before and might again”—and everyone agrees to just look the other way.

🎭 In short: Everyone is reflecting on how far they’ve come by pretending they never left. It’s self-indulgent, over-the-top, and completely on brand.

The glee club is dying but not quietly. And neither are we.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we just keep talking.

It's a girl's girl's girl's world here today on Pack Dynamics. In 3×02, "Chaos Rising," our intrepid pack looks to attend to two major problems. First, the matching bruises on Lydia and Allison's wrists might lead to something, but only if they figure out the pattern. Second, new character Heather is looking to lose her virginity at her Sweet Seventeen and picks our guy Stiles!

(Unfortunately for them, neither of these scenarios work out as planned.)

The race is on to rescue Boyd and Erica from the Alphas, but will the pack get there in time?

This episode is rife with fandom moments - from Isaac in the ice bath to Stiles and his very long gloved fist (and Derek's reaction to it) to everything about Coach Economist Bobby Finstock - and we'll dig into them all.

(Yes, including the sad ones.)

Break out the blueprints, it's time to dig in.

Hello!  Welcome to the first installment of what we're calling the Voices of Glee episodes.

We wanted to do this in recognition of the long history of Black/Brown/POC/Queer voices being excluded from the media.  From writers, directors, and producers, to journalists, commentators, and reviewers, and every position of influence and authority in between.

This episode is hosted by Monica, Ambre, and Julien - three more Glee fans who come from different backgrounds than your usual hosts, but who have just as strong of opinions.  We loved listening to their conversation about Glee and we're sure you will too.

There was much to talk about so this episode has been split into two.  This is Part 1.  Part 2 will be posted on Tuesday.

How's everyone coping? Good? Just okay? Climbing the walls yet? We feel.

This is S3E4, "Pot O' Gold."  The Glee Project "winner" Damian McGinty arrives as exchange student Rory Flanagan, Father of the Decade Burt Hummel decides to run against Sue in the congressional race, and Shelby starts recruiting for the rival all-girl Glee club - The Troubletones.

Kevin McHale Scale: 0.25 - I mean really? We were cheated.
Klainedex: 5 - for the Last Friday Night cuteness.
Coulda Shoulda Woulda Index: Tina was the most fucked over and should have joined The Troubletones.

Is everyone remembering to lotion up after washing your hands 54x a day? This is S3E3, "Asian F."  In an episode touted as "Mike Chang-centric," we've got Mercedes tired AF of standing in Rachel's spotlight, Kurt and Blaine competing for the same role but being cute AF doing so, and Mr. Schue meeting Emma's rude AF parents.  Also, Mike has parents!

Kevin McHale Scale: 0.5 for was he even in this episode?
Klainedex: 7 - for the flowers. Shouda Coulda Wouda Index: low 40s - where was the script supervisor anyway?

We know times are strange right now, but are they as strange as an episode of Glee? (Yes, we're being facetious, the world is scary. STAY HOME.)

This is S3E2 - "I Am Unicorn."  Kurt is running for Student Body President and campaign manager Brit wants him to lean into the unicorn.  Schue makes some of the New Directions attend Booty Camp and Shelby Corcoran returns to shake things up even more.

Kevin McHale Scale: 2.5 - you decide why
Klainedex: 6 - purely for the fondness of their looks
Shouda Coulda Wouda Scale: 60s - for the ball dropped on Quinn, and those missing Kurt and Blaine conversationsOur wonderful sound engineer is Adriana.

Welcome to Season 3 of Glee, and of Glee on the Rocks.  By Executive Order we've decided to just give ourselves seasons too, because why not?  We're professionals.

This is S3E1, "The Purple Piano Project." Once again, the New Directions are looking for members and Mr. Schue has them perform in public to recruit.  Meanwhile, Kurt and Rachel discover other talented teenagers and Blaine Warbler becomes Blaine Anderson.

Kevin McHale Scale: 0 - not a great way to start a new season
Klainedex: 8 - for the locker scene, the song, the Lima Bean date and the fact that this is only the first episode

We've made it to the Season 2 finale!  Today we're talking S2E22, "New York."  Nationals is finally here and the Glee Club is super prepared for it.  They're so prepared that instead of rehearsing for months leading up, they're writing the songs the day before. But hey, it's Glee.

Kevin McHale Scale: 1 - really just for Bella Notte and showing up to work. Klainedex: 7 - a 5 for the "I love yous" and an extra 2 for Kurt talking about moving to New York with Blaine.

Friends!  Countrymen!  We are returned.

Today we're talking about S2E21, "Funeral."  The New Directions have almost made it to Nationals in New York, but first they had to make an honestly heartfelt pit stop at a funeral.  Meanwhile, Mercedes, Kurt, and Santana all get solos.  Yay!

This episode rates a 0.5 on the Kevin McHale Scale.  It was a 1 for him showing up to work, but half a point off for the podcast.   And it rates a full 0 on the Klainedex for it not even really existing.
