Honestly, it's a lot like some musicals that way. The characters and plots are mostly very broad brushes connecting up the musical numbers. I don't care. I'm just enjoying the ride.
And I kind of want to be Sue Sylvester when I grow up.
She just... she just did the math.

“Not dead yet!”
I identified the first wedding dress as a Princess Di knock off from the back.
Lewis was terrified when Emma said the line about her and her cousin idolizing Princess Di as little girls.
Puck's "message from God" had me howling. And you know, while the characters might be drawn with some broad brushes, every now and again, there are some subtle shadings painted in, like with Puck, that start adding depth and interest.

I think what I liked best, tonight, was hearing the "Flight of the Bumblebees" following the slushies down the hallway, seeking out their targets. Hee.

Oh for sure. Even if structurally it's got that basis the television medium allows them to fill in those brush strokes, if I'm not totally overworking the metaphor. And even a sketchy as they started out, there've always been layers, some of them kind of unexpected. What's her name, the main guy's wife, for example, is unexpectedly sympathetic. Which makes him actually a lot less likable than that role might typically be conceived.
The sister in law and Sue (mostly) excepted, of course.
I'm totally high on Puck right now. And I kind of fell in love with Kurt tonight.

I don't find her sympathetic at all. I understand how she got into the situation, but she would have been better off pretending that she'd lost the baby. I wouldn't have liked it, but I could wrap my mind around it. the fake pregnancy is too much.

It's only a short role, but memorable.

I missed the first 20 minutes of Glee. How the heck did Puck and Rachel get together ?
