It’s Sectionals, Kurt’s at Dalton Academy, Karofsky’s back at McKinley, Emma and Carl are back, and so’s Cheyenne Jackson’s character (which means Sunshine should be back too).
“Rio” by Duran Duran!
I actually enjoyed it, being so heavy in the drama. I’m glad they didn’t have Will being all weird, Rachel is really a crazy bitch, but it was nice seeing her be so sweet towards Kurt.
Puck’s rejection of Rachel actually made sense with his character arc this season.
I actually like Artie and Brittney together. They’re cute.
Kurt’s first scenes with the Warblers were really uncomfortable (but entertaining). Of course he’s not going to be on the bottom of the totem pole. Hell, if not for Blaine’s lobbying he might not have even be able to join right before sectionals at all (he certainly wouldn’t have gotten a solo). And him panicing over the bird and Blaine reassuring him was really sweet (though they did slap us in the face with the metaphor).
BTW; Did Kurt say he hadn’t talked to Finn since the wedding? :dubious: How long has it been? I know Mike said they’d look for a bigger house, but it’s really strange that him and Carol would live apart in the meantime now that they’re married which means Kurt and Finn should be sharing a room in the short term.
It’s very possible Dalton Academy makes them live in dorms.
I voted “meh” on the episode. The plot was decent, some funny moments (like Brittney’s random Motocross line) but I didn’t care for any of the songs. I only recognized 3 of them…“Don’t Cry for Me Argentinas,” “Time of my Life” and shudder “Hey Soul Sister.”
And since several months ago I actually started a thread on how much I fucking hate “Hey Soul Sister,” you can imagine my reaction to hearing it in Glee. And in case you can’t, it was kind of like this:
:rolleyes::mad:
I like The Hipsters doing The Living Years. Actually, (even though I hate Hey Soul Sister), I thought both The Hipsters and The Warblers were better than New Directions as far as vocal performances go.

I’m in total agreement. I thought the first ballad with Ken and Barbie was mediocre at best and the second number was just all over the place. Very disjointed. I’m all for giving different people starring roles during the year, (don’t they have community concerts?) but for competition you’ve got to go with your greatest strengths. Sorry, Mr Shue, you screwed up.
Like how Brittany thought adultery meant being stupid “acting like an adult.” It seems all the characters are growing and changing except Mr. Shue and Rachel. They seem stuck in the same insecure, reaction oriented behavior as they always were.
Overall I was pretty unimpressed with the whole show. Compared to last week it was a nonstarter. But next week looks like it has great potential.
running piglet cheese - I had the closed captioning on last night, and what Brittany said was “I thought it meant acting stupid. Like a dolt.” (Although I doubt Brits would know what “dolt” meant.)
I thought the magic feather, I mean comb, was pretty funny. Brittany as Dumbo.

And you don’t completely game-change a week before either even if the new soloists are just as talented. That would disrupt the most talented of performers.
I voted Like because it had some numbers I thought were good and Mike Chang dancing, but no Sue. Rachel totally deserved to get dumped- perhaps Finn will now swear off women, realize he’s gay and go take Kurt out of Dalton ala the Officer and a Gentleman ending.
That’s the only logical ending, really. Finn, while not the greatest person in the world, isn’t bad in the least bit and he seriously can’t win for anything. That makes the second person in a row cheat on him with Puck. And his last girlfriend tricked him into thinking he was going to be a father.
Hell, I’d swear off women.
A-freakin’-men. And I was glad when Schue called her out on her bitchy self-centeredness, but her choice of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina”* showed that she still hasn’t gotten the message. She needs to be single and put her place every week, or at least until she learns how to sing the beginnings of phrases without imitating Britney Spears.
*I just started working on that song with my voice teacher (he suggested it less than 24 hours before Glee aired): when I realized what Rachel was about to sing, my cry of “Nooooooo!” woke up the dog.
My speculation: Kurt will leave Dalton because while he’s not bullied he’s also not big-fish/small-pond and because he and Blaine will have a falling out, perhaps over Blaine being the reigning diva. There will be some entrapment of Karofsky from the Scooby gang that gets him expelled. Rachel will get back with Finn just as Jesse comes back into the picture. Meanwhile Sue will learn that she is with child although she has no memory of a recent sexual encounter with a male and proclaim herself the New Madonna, and Betty White will guest star as a knife wielding Hipster who has become homicidally insane after they received third place at sectionals and will have to go sai-to-sai with Kurt.
give britt a bit more credit than that. she mean acting like “a DOLT”
I hadn’t thought of that.
If they do, I wonder if Blaine and Kurt are bunkmates and how many fights they’ve had over who’s on top.
I’m pretty sure changing things up at the last minute is just one of those things that happens in the Glee universe. Nothing in the show needs more than a week’s practice.
Is the “warm body” (I can’t remember her name) that Puck got to join going to be sticking around? I wasn’t expecting her to, but she was in the final song.
I hope not, I thought she was annoying. Listen Warm Body, you can either be ugly or you can be a bitch, you can’t be both.
She’s been in a couple of other episodes. In one she was shouting “Mr. Shue I want to have your babies” or something like it when he was doing some of his “ewww” Dirty-Dancing-With-Minors moments. I’m guessing she’s out as soon as Kurt comes back, which there’s no way he can’t.
You left out “Waddling Fat Joke” (the demand for chocolate eggs and then for candy before she’d perform).
Did I get it right that she and Puck got it on and he enjoyed it?
Puck and Rachel’s moment was sort of sweet, though I never really got that they were enemies to begin with, just competetive.
I was glad that Puck couldn’t make out with Rachel due to his past with Quinn. I think if Rachel had made out with any other guy there might have been a slim chance Finn would have forgiven her, but if he takes her back after that he’s dummer than he looks (and that’s saying something).
She’ll be around until Kurt comes back or they recruit a new member. They need 12 bodies even not if not everyone sings. Puck will just have to take one for the team and keep “servicing” her. 
I think she was also one of the “vampires” that tried to get Edward’s attention by attacking another student.
All she demanded was “7 minutes in heaven.” I don’t know if they got it on, but she did “rock his world.”
