So far- Not nuts about Coach [del]Balbricker[/del]Bieste, but Will and Sue in alliance is nice for an episode. “I’d join in a kickass harmony but dude’s naked.” Sunshine Corazon- awe-some. Who was Matt? I’m glad they’re bringing out Mike Chang (Harry Shum) a bit. I’m not gay or anything but I would totally take a bath with him and sing. ---

Sunshine’s a ringer (she’s played by a professional singer) ---

Uh … many of the characters are played by professional singers. ---

My favorite line was Rachel’s for a change instead of Brittany’s: > [@](#): > > It wasn’t an _ **active** _ crackhouse! Poor Artie. Supposedly the new guy (the one played by Chord Overstreet) is going to be a love interest for Kurt. Of course that’s such a terribly kept secret it might be an intentional false lead. ---

I made it up. She didn’t want to touch my breast. But I kinda want to touch hers. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > …Supposedly the new guy (the one played by Chord Overstreet) is going to be a love interest for Kurt. Of course that’s such a terribly kept secret it might be an intentional false lead. He’d make a nice contrast to Kurt’s over-the-top flaming drama queenery. There are plenty of gay boys who are into sports and are basically the complete opposite of Kurt’s stereotype. Finn inadvertently repeating Schuester’s discovery was a nice touch (at least Finn had the courtesy to realize that staring at him naked in the shower was a little rude). 😃 ---

_Don’t mind me, just over here making an Other Asian abs gif…_ Where can I get a ‘bad touch’ Cheerios doll? I’ll check ebay on Thursday, should be a shitload for sale by then ---

Really hilarious episode! Loved Finn’s Cheerios tryout (Becky: “This is embarrassing”) and the catfight between Quinn and Santana in the hall (Brittney: “Stop the violence!”). The funniest part was the opening video report by Jacob Ben-Isreal (Glee’s Big Gay Summer), where \*Glee \*went a little meta: Will: (about his song choices) I try to do something for everybody-- 25% showtunes, 25% hip hop, 25% classic rock, Jacob: (to the camera) 100% Gay. Jacob: (to Quinn) How has life changed since the birth of your bastard child? Quinn: Well, I’m a lot less hormonal, so there’s not going to be any crying. Brittney: People thought I went on vacation, but actually I spent the summer lost in the sewers. Jacob: (to Will) Did you know there’s a forum on my blog that’s begging you to stop rapping? Will: Wait, the kids don’t like it when I rap? Jacob: (shakes his head) Jacob: (following Kurt down the hall) When will you glee clubbers accept the fact that people hate you because they think you’re nothing but a glorified karaoke club designed to make the inventors of autotune millions of dollars? 😃 ---

Hey. I love Will rapping! (_Name that reference in 5…4…3…_) What did Quinn scream at Santana after the fight? My cable box is hiding captions from me Oh yeah- next weeks’ episode? It’s turning me lesbian. Who gets the toaster? ---

“We fell in love at Asian camp.” “Hillbillies trying to impregnate the tailpipe of a parked Chevy.” I have to say the music this week didn’t do much for me. I was surprised that Sue played a bogus “bad touch” card as even for her that’s low. “Do you really _have_ to have two confetti cannons?” “Do your children really _have_ to have a daddy?” > [@waterj2](#): > > > [@Annie](#): > > > > Oh yeah- next weeks’ episode?

Do you guys believe that Rachel really sabotaged Sunshine for the good of the group? Of course I didn’t believe her at first, but it’d be odd to sing a song about “doing it for love” when it was a solo with no one around her. Either way I’m disappointed that Sunshine will not be there this year, I really wanted to hear more from her. I didn’t feel bad for Beist or whatever. The first time she met Will and Sue she went off on how important the football team was, and didn’t seem sorry at all the other’s budget got cut. ---

In part, but I think she was honest that mainly it was her love of the spotlight. > [@](#): > > Either way I’m disappointed that Sunshine will not be there this year, I really wanted to hear more from her. I’m pretty sure you will. That was Cheyenne Jackson (Broadway star and recurring actor on 30 Rock) who played the new star of Vocal Adrenoline- he’s going to be a recurring character so I’m pretty sure Sunshine will as well. > [@](#): > > I didn’t feel bad for Beist or whatever. The first time she met Will and Sue she went off on how important the football team was, and didn’t seem sorry at all the other’s budget got cut. Yeah, she did seem to be sort of “can dish it out/can’t take it”. Buying the pizzas was a very nice thing, I’ll give her that. If I were writing the show she’d be a loose cannon: one episode may see her alligned with Will against Sue, another with Sue and her against Will, another will her and Figgins against Will and Sue, etc.. I can’t wait for Carol Burnett’s guest appearance as Sue’s mom. I hope she sings. ---

The first time she met Will and Sue she went off on how important the football team was, and didn’t seem sorry at all the other’s budget got cut. Agreed. They went overboard, but when she complained, Will should have said “I’m sorry, on the other hand, you were a real bitch to us when we first met you - not the best way to make friends.” ---

One of the funniest parts wasn’t in the show. Jane Lynch’s Don’t Be A Sue commercial for AmEx’s Member Project. All animals do is poop on your lawn and make you feel guilty about how delicious they are. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/glee-season-premiere/554595.md?page=2)
