Glee was back with a vengeance! This episode was so much more light-hearted and fun than last week’s bleak offering, and it felt much more in the original spirit of the show. Breaking it down-
Things I Loved:
-Mr. Schuester is AWESOME- That should have just been the theme of the episode! That poor actor had like three musical numbers in the span of one episode, but he carried them off with aplomb! Just amazing. “Bust A Move” was hilarious, “Thong Song” was weirdly sexy, and him getting covered with slushie at the end was somehow heartwarming. Well done, sir. Well done.
-Sue Sylvester in a Zoot Suit- Total spit-take moment! Now this was just enough Sue to keep me happy! Her monologue about buying Will “a little kitty-cat” was hilarious. Great, great episode for this character, and she’s totally back on my fave list.
-Emma’s Back! And Singing!- I missed her so much when she was gone, and it was wonderful to have her return. I loved (needed!) that wedding dress she decided on, and her Julie Andrews moment was just wonderful. Who knew she could sing? Even though I still think it’s stupid she’s getting married at all, that scene almost made it all worth it.
-Puck- The Puck and Rachel pairing was totally unexpected and maybe a little too random, but so funny and brought out a lot of interesting things about both their characters that I forgave it. I loved her anointing his head in the guy’s bathroom- two little Jews trying to make their way in the world! And I loved them both pining on the bleachers- her for Finn, and him for Quinn. And was that a slightly lovestruck look I saw in Quinn’s eyes when Puck was singing “Sweet Caroline”? Interesting…
So, summing it up, there was nothing I absolutely hated, and a wonderful return to form for the show that weekly battles it out with “The Vampire Diaries” for the title of my favorite new show!
