OTHER ASIAN HAS A NAME!

:eek: There are no words. Just the best episode ever.

Agreed. It was great. Every musical number was an A+. Can we get Joss Whedon again?

OTHER ASIAN HAS A NAME!

He's always had one... ;)

They just had the little message: It's 10:00, do you know where your children are? on my Fox channel.

Hell yeah, flipping out over how great that Glee episode was.

Wow.

I dreamed a dream is going to be the first song I buy from itunes. Ever.

Wow.

[cruisin]

I also love NPH. How long has Idina Menzel been on the show? I've only started watching recently (with daughter). Idina is a little too young to be Lea's mother, sister maybe? :lol: I didn't want the show to end tonight!

Oh wow. Easily my favourite episode of the back nine so far. The musical numbers were all glorious, especially the two duets. The Idina/Lea duet was everything I was hoping it would be.

Wow.

Wow.
That is little AYS's the younger's favorite song, from way before this episode. That, and she recently went to a costume party dressed as Artie ( :lol: ), so you can imagine what kind of heaven she was in from that.

Agreed. It was great. Every musical number was an A+. Can we get Joss Whedon again?Each scene was perfectly paced too. So many bits of information and great melding with the musical numbers. I can't wait for the DVD to come out.

Lea and Idina made me cry.

MM and NPH. Holy shit.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote it--Whedon is a self-admitted musical geek, and it's very similar to "Once More, With Feeling." He's also made references to Les Miz in other shows.

I hope they collaborate again. Whedon worked really well with the show. Just when it was getting a bit cheesy, the show became totally :fragile: :wuzrobbed


AYS, you'll like this (http://www.vogue.com/feature/2010_June_Matthew_Morrison_Raquel_Zimmermann/slideshow/horizontal/). Rawr. :grope:

Dunno how accurate this is, but Wikipedia lists series creator Brad Falchuk as writer of the Dream On episode.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_On_%28Glee%29

"Dream On" was filmed in March 2010. In October 2009, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly reported that 20th Century Fox, the studio behind Glee, had approached Joss Whedon about directing an episode during the show's first season. Series creator Ryan Murphy is a fan of Whedon's work, and praised the musical episode of his series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, commenting: "Joss directed one of the great musical episodes in the history of television on Buffy, so this is a great, if unexpected, fit. I'm thrilled he'll be loaning us his fantastic groundbreaking talent." Whedon deemed Glee his favorite television show, but downplayed his influence over the episode. Asked by Ileane Rudolph of TV Guide whether the episode would feature songs from Buffy, or his 2008 musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Whedon replied: "I would have to say a resonant 'no way.' The episode isn't about me. It's the next episode of Glee. Hopefully my hands will be invisible on the show." Whedon felt that his job was to be anonymous: "to find the most compelling way to present a story without calling attention to himself."

Whedon feels the episode's title is pertinent to the storylines, explaining that the aim was to examine the desires at the core of the central characters, including Will's desire to perform, Rachel's desire to find her biological mother and Artie's desire to walk again. He stated: "I was really lucky because there's a real phonetic coherence of the episode that brought them all together on an emotional level. For me, it was a just a question that they dovetailed and didn't feel random and you understood why these three stories were all in the same show."

That episode was EPIC!! Well done!

How long has Idina Menzel been on the show? I've only started watching recently (with daughter). Idina is a little too young to be Lea's mother, sister maybe? :lol: I didn't want the show to end tonight!This is only Idina's 2nd episode... I think. She may have briefly been in another. But it is possible for her to be Rachel's mother, if we go by Idina's real age (38).

This episode was epic! I especially liked the throwback bit at the beginning.
I Dreamed a Dream - :swoon:
Dream On - :rockstar:
