Glee is back. Hooray Glee kids, hooray! We can blog again. I really enjoyed the first episode, 'The New Rachel', but as we all know, a Glee episode is never fully complete without our favourite Glee character - Emma Pillsbury. Had Glee started filming later to accommodate Jayma's schedule, here's how RIB could have slotted her in.
Did Rachel have to meet a new boy in the first episode?
Answer: No
Instead show how completely isolated she feels by leaving her alone in the bathroom doing her cleansing ritual and CONTRAST this with Emma doing her cleansing routine in the bathroom and Will stepping out of the shower and them both pausing to look lustfully at each other and then Emma turning back to the mirror and saying 'No. That would make us late for school!'
Kurt is feeling a little lost still living in Lima. What should he do? Visit Sue Sylvester or Emma Pillsbury?
Answer: Emma Pillsbury.
She's the guidance counsellor. Sue could have then walked into Emma's office with the baby followed by Kitty. It would have been interesting to see Emma's reaction to the new baby and to Kitty.
Did we need so many Cassandra July scenes?
Answer: No.
The scene showing her penchant for alcohol could go. Her attitude towards her students shows that she hates her job and hates the students for their potentially successful futures. Rachel stating that there is alcohol on Cassandra's breath and Cassandra's response is enough for us to accept Rachel's statement as true. So delete. Thus freeing up 45 seconds. Enter Ms Pillsbury. How about contrasting Cassandra's dance routine with Will teaching Emma a dance, thus showing the difference between someone who loves to teach and someone who doesn't. Or simply Will and Emma making evening plans at the lunch table.
Would Will have minded if Emma had sat in on the auditions? Would the kids have minded?
Answer: No and hell No.
They are totally in love. They live and breathe each other. They want to be with each other 24 hours a day. Did you see the look on Will's face when Jake was singing? I'm sure he was thinking of Emma. She could've/should've been there. When Marley was singing there could have been Wemma hand holding and there could have been a knowing look between them or Emma could have whispered, 'she reminds me of Rachel.'
Did Blaine have to sing to Kurt?
Answer: Yes and No.
Yes if you're a Klaine or Blaine fan. No if you're a Wemma fan. This was the obvious place to put in a long overdue Wemma duet!
Sigh. The missed opportunities!
