Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants

I was going to say that I don't know any teachers who, upon seeing one student physically body check another student into the lockers, wouldn't step in and make sure that the aggressor was disciplined.
Not that i am pro defending Schue, as he is developing as a ClassA scumbag, but i'm pretty sure he's never actually seen any of assaults occur. He came around the corner to see Kurt slumping down against his locker and beefy jock walking away. He's seen post-slushie cleanup many times, but never actually been in the hallway when they occurred. So if the kids won't tell him who is doing what, he has no way of being 100% certain who to be looking to punish.
eta: and as a teacher who does continue to be very interested in protecting his students, i suspect that without being a 1st hand witness, he would fear isolating Kurt even further. By not taking action he is trying to protect Kurt against the sort of backlash that Barb mentioned.
I was far more outraged that Schue told Beiste what the kids were doing than I was about the kiss. The kiss felt like a little intimate moment between friends--and I could sort of buy it. Telling her was horrible and cruel and unneeded but, of course, it was so they could have the boys sing the make-up song. Glee is like old movie musicals in that characters act in erratic and stupid ways all the time, just to set up the next number. Make for bad storytelling in most episodes, but I still like good numbers enough that I hand-wave the rest...like I do with old musicals.

As long as the music works. Which it frequently does, on Glee. Although I'd still like to see them explore different genres, eras, etc.

Unrelated to Glee, Oklahoma cracks me up, with the whole killing-Jud/let's-go-on-our-honeymoon! transition. And the "trial," where Curly's defense was "I just got married! Let me go on my honeymoon and get it on with Laurie!" And everyone is basically, "Well, we shouldn't, but...okay!"
Oklahoma also has Ado "I've been sleeping with the traveling salesman, but now you want to get married so, okay I'll marry you, even though I don't seem to like you more than him and you're fine with that" Annie.
I actually LOVE that character--she has Teh Sex and STILL gets the nice guy--but Will's reactions are leetle far-fetched.
I kind of can't stand most of the mash ups on Glee.
I think the only mash-up I really liked on GLEE was "It's My Life/Confessions" which oddly, worked.

It would've been better if they just stuck to En Vogue and Bon Jovi. And had Amber sing the Bon Jovi. Because Lea can't rock that shit.
I also like the girls' one from last time, but I really like Walking on Sunshine.
