Glee: Moving In The Right Direction Again!
I really enjoyed last night’s “Glee.” The music was spot on and I really enjoyed it, well except for the Mariah Nicki mash-up. I once again feel the need to point out that a mash-up is not singing one line from a Madonna song! As much as I love Unique, all she kept saying was “Gunna dress you up in my love, all over all over.” There is more to that song!
I love having Shue back full time, and we finally got Becky and Sue back as well. The show was dedicated to feuds and set up a few mysteries and advanced other stories forward.
Unique and Ryder ended up in a feud because he refused to call her a girl. Meanwhile Ryder was involved with some girl in and online chat. It seems he’s being catfished though. When he asked to meet her, she signed off. Who is she? At first I wondered if it was Unique/Wade. But given they already have the Sam/Blaine crush thing, I don’t know if they will do another one. I’m wondering if maybe it’s Becky?
Blaine and Sue feuded because she wanted him to join the Cheerios. In the end he lost the song-duel and had to join. However he did so on purpose. He’s planning to bring Sue down from within once and for all. I wonder if this means they’d be writing Sue out if there is another season?
Finally Shue and Finn’s feud played out in a Backstreet Boys verses N’Synch mash-up. Everyone wanted Shue to forgive Finn, but he couldn’t. Finn decided to leave, and with some advice from Marnie it seems he may pursue a teaching degree.
In New York Santana was feuding with Brody. In the best number of the show she confronted him with “Cold Hearted Snake.” She knew he was up to something, but Rachel (who wasn’t pregnant after all) and Kurt asked her to move out. In the end she set Brody up, luring him to a hotel room to meet her as his client. She also had called in Finn to deal with him. Hopefully this is the last we’ll see of Brody!
My other predictions are that Santana’s performance will make it’s way to that Nazi of a dance teacher Cassandra at NYADA, and that will get her into the school. Finn meanwhile will find a teaching program in New York . . .
I usually agree with you but I think “Glee” is still moving in the same direction that it’s been moving all season … away from McKinley High and toward Broadway.
What made “Glee” a success to begin with was a frank portrayal of high school underdogs finding solace in the glee club and the music that they sing. This is, quite simply, no longer the case.
I still believe the seniors should have graduated and been gone.
At this point, I enjoy “The Glee Project” far more than I enjoy “Glee”.
That being said, I can’t get enough of Naya Rivera as Santana!

I think the main problem staying at high school is we can only watch them do sectionals, regionals and nations so many times before things get old.
