How 'Makeover' could be made over to be less BORING.

There were a lot of factors that made 'Makeover' one of my least favourite Glee episodes. To name a few: no character development, rehashing old plots, the writers commenting on their own bad writing and story telling as a joke device instead of fixing the problem (Sue’s lines), predictability and shallowness (Rachel’s story), senselessness (the whole election campaign), implausibility (Kurt’s story), the list is endless (read http://www.drshebloggo.com/) but WORST of all: ONLY 1.39 SECONDS OF WEMMA and NO KISS!

‘Makeover’ needed a makeover. Toss out Rachel, Blaine, Brittany and Kurt from the script and bring in Emma Pillsbury please.

Emma made great strides last year:

1.    controlling her OCD

2.     encouraging Will to propose to her

3.    gaining accolades for her pamphlets

4.    directing the school musical

5.    supporting Will

6.    negotiating a wedding date

7.    initiating sex

8.  winning tenure.

All of these achievements were made while the focus was on other characters, without any great song or dance. RIB, it’s time to let Emma shine. Emma’s new found confidence, sexual liberation and her new life with Will could have been visually translated in ‘Makeover’ in a most non-boring 39.1 minutes of pure Wemma magic. Let’s go:

·      Emma and Will dancing around the streets of Ohio/McKinley singing about how a change would do them good? I wouldn’t have fast forwarded that segment. Not one second of it.

·      Emma and Will try a new wardrobe…maybe Emma could try something daring like jeans, shorts, a low cut top, some new retro clothing, some of those ball gowns Rachel tried on, something surprising, while singing with Will ‘The Way You Look tonight/You’re never fully dressed without a smile.’ That would have had some emotional impact.

·      Emma restyles the apartment – new pictures on the wall (those current pictures have no interest and don't reflect Will or Emma's personality), new bed linen, painting a room, buying a new couch....anything that shows some Pillsbury panache. 

·      Or better still, Emma and Will go house hunting.

·      Emma and Will lie in bed talking about how Will feels bored at work,  the opportunity he is considering and they come up with a plan together - because that's what couples do - they talk - not fill out applications without some discussion first. Then they can both sing 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'.

Emma decides to cook something new for Will, sets fire to the kitchen and they end up having a romantic dinner on the floor which leads to kissing which leads to something new: Wemma sex outside of the bedroom.

And that's what we really wanted to see on Glee.
