    I can forgive some of the minor inconsistencies more readily than I can forgive the overuse of autotune.

    Oh, thank God. I was about to shout "We want the finest Glee recaps available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now."

    Sorry, Rachael, but as a female drama nerd, your sixth sense is called gaydar, not ESP.

    And this, dear Brian, is why I want to get drunk and invade Don't Tell Mama with you. A+ for bringing the joy of Glee back around the day after like a happy hangover.

    With Idina Menzel coming on the show, if they could get Kristen Chenoweth to guest star that would be a truly wicked (pun intended) episode.

    My only complaint about this show is that the incidental music they use during scenes (I particularly remember it in the slushie episode whenever one was about to be thrown but it was there last night, too) sounds like the beginning of a Bjork song, and every time I hear it I get excited that they are about to do some totally off the wall Bjork number and they never do.

    What I find incredibly fascinating about this show is that we're actually supposed to root for Will's infidelity. And we do. Who didn't want to see him kiss Emma? Who wants him to forgive Terri? Nobody, of course, but his behavior demonstrates that A) he's obviously been in love with Emma for months longer than he's known that the baby is a lie, and B) he clearly no longer views himself as Terri's husband...but doesn't see fit to tell her that. And this is our hero?

    @DahlELama: No one's perfect! That's why I love the show. I also don't always root for Mr. S though. There are times when I love certain characters, and other times when I tire of them. It's because they're all so reeeeeaaaaaal sometimes, and then absolutely unreal a minute later.

    @chickachicka: Ignoring for a moment that I don't find "no one's perfect" to be an acceptable justification for falling in love with someone else while you think your wife is pregnant with your child, Will's character is not portrayed as a "flawed" hero the way all the kids are. He is shown as a straight-up "take one for the team" kind of guy, and the message that's coming out of this is that "if your wife does something really, really mean to you, it's OK to discard her completely without informing her you're doing so. As long as the person you move on to is sweet and charming, we wholeheartedly applaud your relationship."

    @DahlELama: No, I agree. To clarify, I personally am actually very hard on any person who strays outside of their marriage, in all cases, so I would not use "no one's perfect" as a justification ever. (Only in fictional worlds in this case, it seems.)

    I think, with the show though, they're trying a little harder to make Mr. S appear flawed. Yes, he cares for the kids, but he does a lot of dishonorable things, like flirting with a dangerous affair involving his co-worker who is engaged to his friend while his own wife is pregnant; stooping to Sue's level and making threats; getting physical with his wife (that one scene last week when he found out literally frightened me); etc. But you're right in that, despite it all, the majority of viewers wants to see him get back on the right track.

    I know that the writing of the characters contradicts itself, but I like it because I don't think they're trying to box anyone into a certain role. There's no real hero (Finn is the closest to one, because even having feelings for Rachel didn't push him to do anything), and there's no real villain (even Sue has a sister she visits, and a news anchor who broke her heart).

    @DahlELama: I didn't read it that way -- I read that he'd left Terri, definitely, and Terri got that. He wasn't living at the house any more and apparently hadn't slept there since the big reveal. I think Mr. Schue is a free agent, romantically speaking, though Emma would be wise to put on the breaks.

    @DahlELama: Yes?

    Emma is a waste of time, but surely better than the bitchy lazy fakely-preggers wife. Also, give him time to tell his unloveable wife with the fake fetus that he is not in love with her.

    It's a show, a soap opera, I don't much like it but it's all that's on these days. And I thought he made it clear in this ep and last that he has had enough with Terri.

    P.S. Great recco on Big Love.

    I can't believe my fucking DVR clipped the last 15mins of last night's show - it sounds like it was amazing!

    I also liked the part where Emma confronted the other 2 coaches for cheating. It's nice to see her show her strength in a different way from the other women on the show.

    Just a couple side notes of brilliance your otherwise fantastic recap missed:

    1)Rachel Berry actually looking terrified when the group informs her they need to to do a ballad and kill it to save them. Made the lyrics of don't rain on my parade all the more poignant (and if I'm fanned out, at least I didn't fake it, hat sir, guess I didn't make it...)

    2) That "cynic" on the judging team. Oh. My. God. Can a woman get an emmy for ten lines of dialogue? You can tell brilliance in any entertainment when small five minute detail stuff like this is funnier than entire seasons of most shows.

    3) the laugh out loud horrible performance by the deaf choir of Don't Stop Believing. The second you think Glee might be too pat, too safe, it GOES there!

    I love you Glee. You make me believe that spring will come again.

    @mommy_dearest: I'm so excited about this! Also, one of Lea Michele's (Rachel) co-stars from Spring Awakening, Jonathan Groff, is going to be the lead singer of Vocal Adrenaline and a potential love interest for her! I love the Broadway addition - gets less auto-tuney when those people sing. (Though, they've been much better about the auto-tune lately anyway).

    Umm, Rachel fake happiness for someone else taking the spotlight she wants so bad? UH NO, that was genuine, and we finally got another, albeit quick, glimpse into the side of Rachel that isn't the raging bitch we all wanna kick in the crotch.

    Also, there can be NO DISPUTE, Brittany is the STAR of this show. "That would mean me and Santana are dating."

    She really does get the best comedy moments every week (outside of SMFS of course).

    You have to wonder though, was she waving because she saw someone she knew, or was she waving because she thought the kids signing while they sing were waving at the audience. I like to think its the latter.
