I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Why did New Directions get two numbers and everyone else got one? It wasn't even a mashup, it was two numbers.

The Hipsters number reminded me (and was surely based on) the young @ heart chorus. Watching the documentary about them had me with the same expression on my face as Puck had on his. Choke up city.

I think we just saw one sample number from each of the other two teams. Last year each team supposedly did three numbers at sectionals.

Okay, but there should have been some indication of that. Something like when the Director of the DMV was talking at the end, he could have reintroduced the groups, i.e. "New Directions, singing 'I Had the Time of My Life', 'blah', and 'blah'" (hold for applause) "The Warblers, singing 'Hey Soul Sister', 'blah', and 'blah' ", Etc.

Yeah. I think they basically have 15 minutes or so to fill. (I'm pretty sure they don't draw an audience like that for an ostensibly ten minute show.

Perhaps, but let me ask: "Would you have then be mad to not hear the Hipsters singing 'School's Out for the Summer' or whatever? I think it would be unnessecary, and probably even more annoying.

No. I would have understood why they did it.

Didn't at one point, when Will was yelling at ND for the umteenth time, say something about working together for six minutes? I don't have a DVR, but I thought, well, that's just one song, seems short for Sectionals. Then ND did two numbers, while the other two groups did one.

I was also confused by the age of the Hipsters, as I thought all of this was for high school glee clubs. I know, logic not driving the Glee train.

Curt continues to break my heart. And I really really really want to see Puck and New Girl beat up Krawalky (or whatever the bully's name is. I have a hard time with names on this show.).

I was also confused by the age of the Hipsters, as I thought all of this was for high school glee clubs.

I was confused by this, too. At first I thought they were Vocal Adreneline in old people costumes and then I remembered that they didn't tangle with VA until Regionals last year and then I was jut confused.

I thought the Santana number was fun, but Quinn and Sam were painfully boring. And even after Schue's chit chat with Emma, he didn't really do anything but switch new people into his same boring ballad/uptempo number formula he always uses.

Right? Even down to bringing in Mercedes to belt out a couple of lines at the end.

They mentioned something about their competition for Regionals being the private school and a continuing education or adult education or something a month or so ago. I wish they would focus more on the competition with other schools and less on internal dynamics, so I perked up a little when that came up.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I actually really enjoyed Glee this week, but I think it all comes down to my being the one and only unconditional fan of that show. It just makes me happy.
