Glee’s back tonight. Gwyneth Paltrow’s back as Miss Holly Holiday. Also it looks like we’re finally going to get to see Sunshine Corazon (Charice) and Dustin Goolsby (Cheyenne Jackson) again. The latter being part of Sue’s “Legion of Doom” along with Terri Schuester and Sandy Ryerson.

General Zod! Sgt. Hanson! The Pink Dagger! And the Honey Badger, nature’s most ferocious animal (look it up on YouTube)!
Too bad for the Pink Dagger … Aretha is his kryptonite.
Loved the Brainiacs’ little glasses-poking gesture. And yay, Brittany! Cat diseases for the win. Not to mention Hermaphrodite Nazi Sympathizers …
I cant watch Glee. Any time I do I can hear some cracks in my heterosexuality. And these dont mend, they just widen.
Meh episode overall, but “Hermaphrodite Nazi Sympathizers” is quite possibly the best closing line for any TV show ever.
I wonder how much YouTube honey badger related activity spiked last night. 
Mike Chang’s dance number to “Bubble Toes” was the highlight of the episode. Awesome!
I thought Sue was naming him Sergeant Handsome. Hanson?
My favorite was Santana saying she had razor blades in her hair. “All up in there!” Cracked me up. And they’re definitely paving the road for that football player to come out of the closet, or locker, in his case.
It was meh for me, too, but I’m not a Gwyneth Paltrow fan. Yay! She’s gone again! Plus, I was playing Guitar Hero off and on and missed some explanation (like why Brittany is a Braniac).
Because their normal person got sick or something.
Next week is a 90 minute episode and this is supposed to be a major plot point. Naturally next week is also another showcase for Lady Gaga. Hopefully this well lead to Kurt returning to WMHS (& perhaps Blaine following him?) and him being better intergrated in the plotlines.
I came in to say that. I thought this was a C-minus episode, but Mmmmmike Chang’s number raised it a full letter grade.
Yeah, you’re probably right. Old ears, here. Plus, I couldn’t really see him, since he was blending in back there … (What was that he said to Holly, with his complete list of good points? “I’m handsome. I’m good-looking. And easy on the eyes. Oh, yeah, and I’m gorgeous.”)
Yeah, Mike Chang! That dance was outstanding! I was glad he got a chance to really show his stuff.
Hey, I forgot I taped this! Now I understand the Braniac thing.
And you know, we were discussing the honey badger recently here, and there was a Youtube video linked here; I think…THEY’RE SPYING ON US!
Hi Will! Get a haircut! Rachel, quit singing with that squeaky, nasal thing when you start a phrase.
It feels like Glee is finally getting it’s groove back. I teared up at just how damn good and powerful “All by Myself” was. They need to bring Sunshine on as a regular cast member.
As a devoted reader of EW, I liked Becky’s little shout out to the mag.
“This is night, when I’m usually out bow hunting for hobos.”
Cheyenne Jackson was looking particularly hot last night. I thought it was funny he played a straight guy and Tobolowski a “predatory” gay guy when their orientations are the reverse in real life.
If only they’d let him show his stuff. We have to settle for his dancing instead. 
I’m going to miss Gwyneth- I hope she’ll be back at some point. Though while I agreed with everything that was said I half expected a M-E-S-S-A-G-E M-O-M-E-N-T light to flash when her character was discussing anonymous nastiness with the hecklers.
And Emma needs to spend some time on a Noodle Farm. She’s got issues that go way beyond quirky or “a little pill prescription from a GP” will help, and she’s extraordinarily selfish in the way she treats men- first the football coach, then Carl, and Will on the side.
I missed it – what did she say?
I kinda wonder if they’re ever going to do some kind of subplot with Sandy and Kurt, Blaine, or Karofsky? Obiviously he’s just about the worst possible role model/confidant for any of them. He was shown in the pilot feeling up an unamed male student (IIRC this is why he was fired). I’ve read a rather distrubing piece of slash ficiton involving him and Kurt. There could be some really creepy backstory between him and Karofsky.
I did laugh at Sue mentioning the honey badger. It’s been alllllllll over the internet so I’m sure a lot of people got a laugh about that one.
This was probably my least favorite episode. I can’t put my finger on exactly why it was, but it was just so boring to me.
That said, Mercedes was mindblowingly good on that song. Amazing.
Ack! Really? She sang well enough, but her line readings felt very “coached” and she seemed barely able to recite them! There have been some interesting guest stars on the show, but her first scene in the episode was very flat, where an actress with some comic chops could have gotten a lot of leverage- she had great lines, but couldn’t quite deliver.
I love me some Cheyenne Jackson (his terse “I’m not gay” was greatly amusing), but the Sunshine storyline is making me yikes.
