Oh, and i LOVE that they made Britney bisexual. Especially after what Kurt said about bi people last episode. Biphobia is a real issue and I'm glad they brought that issue to light in last episode with Blaine telling Kurt off and now having one of the main cast bi, it's great with more representation. Well done to the writers!

Such a good episode! I've always loved Santana and Britney together. Landslide was so good! Gwyneth did a really good job, but I would have loved it if it was just Santana and Britney who sang it (with Holly playing the guitar in the middle).
This is a tv-show so I can look pass some things, such as how manipulative Santana actually was to Britney in the beginning of their relationship. I never really thought about that before rewatching...
Santana is probably the biggest bully (perhaps besides Karaofsky?) in the show, and that is of course awfull! But it is a show and therefore we can laugh about it. And she really has some fun lines (even though they are mean) and Naya's voice is so good that I can't help but like her charachter. So I like that she is getting this storyline. Naya deserves more than mean-girl background charachter. She deserves to get good storylines, imo.
Sex education in USA seems like a joke. How come no one is educated at that age? Do they not teach health class in USA?
(Holly and Will would might be a good match since both of them are singing some really questionable songs with students, haha)

So Santana is honestly not one of my favorite characters. But the Landslide performance is, in my opinion, one of her better moments, and one of my favorite songs in the show. Their voices work so well together, and Naya Rivera had one of my absolute favorite voices on the show. All of the performances this episode were so good. I really like the stuff with Burt too. Can't wait for the next episode!!

Forgot they did a Prince song(one of my favorite musicians/singers), and I also forgot how good Landslide is; that performance was so good with their harmonies, and we begin to see more of Santana and Brittanys relationship and see some softer and more emotional sides of Santana.

Landslide is one of my favourite performances of the whole series!!!!! Love, love, love every time Gwyneth Paltrow pops in for a surprise visit and fun fact - Gwyneth was sweating bullets when she was performing Landslide cause Stevie Nicks actually showed up on set to watch it being filmed (and Gwyneth is a gob smacked fan so the nerves were rattling!!!!)

Agree with everything you said. Santana absolutely shined in this one!

This is one of my favorite episodes from the entire series of Glee. This episode starts the storyline of Santana and Brittany's relationship finally being addressed as well as the storyline arc of Santana struggling to come to terms with her sexuality. Prior to this episode we saw moments where it is briefly acknowledged that Santana and Brittany are "friends with benefits" while we've also seen a few flirtatious moments between them (some were more obvious some happened in the background of scenes) but their relationship wasn't truly being addressed before this episode.
One of my favorite things about this episode is that we finally see Santana show some genuine emotion and this is when we start seeing some real character development happening with Santana. Up until now Santana has essentially been a character that is meant to be comedic relief who says "rude" and "witty" comments. Now we are going to see more moments within episodes where we see Santana be vulnerable with Brittany while she is also clearly scared/angry about the thought of being out (angry because she clearly wants to be with Brittany publicly but at the same time scared of what people will say especially because she saw how Kurt was the only out person in their school and saw how he had to deal with homophobia/bullying because of it).
This Santana storyline ends up leading to Santana taking part in the performance of what is easily my favorite cover done on Glee (The performance happens next season).
Naya Rivera really shines as Santana in this episode.
