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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Haven't seen the last 15 minutes yet (stopped the DVR just as ND was about to perform), but my thoughts:

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 think that would be too easy. Karofsky would have a reason to make himself the victim. And while he's a victim in a way (of a homophobic society), beating him up doesn't help matters. Unless, maybe, Karofsky starts something with Lauren and gets his head handed to him.

Kudos to the Warblers for making "Hey Soul Sister" almost tolerable (I hate that song!). But they also deserve some credit for the choreography. Not a lot -- it's not unlike something a '60s vocal group (maybe the Temptations or the Pips?) might have done, only with more backup singers.

Some great lines. My favorite has to be Brittany's, "I thought that meant I was stupid. A-dolt-ery."

Schu should have invited Carl to attend with Emma. It would have fit with his epiphany at the end of the Rocky Horror episode.

Kurt may be facing a fundamental dilemma. He's safe at Dalton but at the price of being forced into a machine. He can be a lot more individual and flamboyant at McKinley but at the price of taking a lot of grief even without threats from Karofsky. Neither option is exactly good for him.

Rachel's diva reaction was so perfectly in character. Especially because she comes off as a bratty kid and not someone who's earned divahood. I mean, she's no Tina Turner.

I feel like if he'd had three tickets he might have? But I totally see why he wanted Emma there, and he had to sit out Sectionals last year, so there's no way he'd want to miss it again.

Blaine and the Warblers have now made not one but TWO terrible songs almost good through Glee-ification! Teenage Dream and Hey Soul Sister. I appreciate this immensely.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They weren't good enough to make me enjoy Hey Soul Sister, but I liked their version of Teenage Dream better than Katy Perry's (which I also like, unlike the Train song).

It is kind of sad that Emma had to opt out of attending Sectionals for Carl's sake, given that she's been a secondary mentor figure to a lot of the Glee kids and in fact has kept their best interests in mind better than Will has on a number of occasions. It's not fair that she has to give up her closeness with the whole Glee Club just because Will sponsors it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

No, it's not, but it's realistic. She's the only person making grown up decisions on the show. She is putting her marriage first, in a realistic way. Will showed himself to be an inveterate ass during the Rocky Horror ep, and I can understand why her husband would be reluctant for her to spend time alone with him.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"Hey Soul Sister" is probably one of the worst pop songs out now and I previously hadn't HATED Train (hadn't liked them a whole lot, but now I really hate them).

Ann, that's a ferret.

The Office -- What was the point of that episode? That Oscar's a know-it-all, even if nobody ever mentioned it before? That Dwight can outsmart Pam? That Dwight's a greedy jerk?

I'd have liked to see Dunder Mifflin move offices. A plot line that could have carried two episodes on its own, plus provided subplots for three or four more.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right? I really wish they would.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Barney's face when Lily says 'we hate Kate Hudson' is the best face ever.
