This week on Glee, the glee club (gleeksters?) endured a series of auditions to determine who’d headline at Nationals, only to have Will throw the whole idea out and decide to go with original ensemble songs. Because they’re a team, you know. Meanwhile, in B-plot land, Jean Sylvester passed away and the glee club helped …

Glee: Prom Queen
First, a brief note about last week’s Glee, since some people asked why I didn’t review it; I didn’t have time to, but I will note that it featured some pretty painful poverty porn. The episode centred poverty as a personal, individual problem rather than a systemic one and proposed personal, individual solutions rather than …
Glee: Born This Way
Two things about this week’s episode: It was bad, from a purely structural/entertainment standpoint. Also, it was bad. Did I mention it was bad? And I didn’t like the music, but that’s because the numbers they chose this week were just not to my taste. The episode was all over the map, like the creative …
Glee: A Night of Neglect
So, I confess, I’d been putting off watching Glee this week, for a variety of reasons, so I apologise to the people who wanted to know where my review was; there are only so many hours in the day and I have many, many things to do in them, and honestly watching this show tends …
Glee: Original Song
This week on Glee: Pain makes better art, and relationship drama. Oh my stars, the relationship drama. When a high school show pretty much revolving around dysfunctional relationships has enough relationship drama in an episode to make me raise an eyebrow, that’s what we like to call High Drama. We had further disintegration of our …
Glee: Sexy
Wondering why this review is going up a week after the episode aired? You can complain to ATT and UPS about that1. So anyway, yes, here we are, clearing the decks for this week’s Glee, which apparently involves Regionals. I for one can hardly contain my excitement about having to watch Glee two days in …
Glee: Blame It On the Alcohol
This week on Glee: Bisexuality! Is it real? Let’s discuss! Also, how about brain injuries! Those are hilarious, am I right? No seriously. Glee tells us it is progressive television and that, in particular, it is sending great messages about teen sexuality. Glee can show us an out, proud, gay teen, but apparently, bisexuality doesn’t exist. …
Glee: Silly Love Songs
Stop the presses, folks, because I have some positive things to say about Glee! Yes, you heard it here first. People, I am shipping Puck/Lauren so hardcore right now, it is not even funny. The show decided to use this episode to take her character in new, exciting, and dare I say fabulous directions. I …
Glee: The Sue Sylvester Shuffle
Ryan Murphy (or Fox) appears determined to destroy what’s left of my soul by returning from an unfortunately abbreviated hiatus with two episodes in one week, one of which (last night’s) is extended, just to rub in the torment. Armed with a bowl of popcorn as a bribe for sitting through it, I watched the …
Glee: A Very Glee Christmas
So, here’s the thing. I hate Glee. I don’t celebrate Christmas. I cannot stand Christmas music. And I really hate ‘cure the crip’ storylines. So, pretty much, there was no way on earth that I would not hate this week’s episode. On those grounds, one might reasonably ask why I should review it at all. …
