Glee - Weird or Fun? I Can't Decide.

Well I hate to admit it, but I was kinda laughing my ass off this week. Some things were genuinely hilarious, some were just ridiculous in a funny way, and some things were just plain sad!
Firstly, I loved having Gwyneth back - she's just too much fun. But her songs were not really as good this time around.

The whole thing about Brittany believing storks bring babies was SO sad and also stupid. There is dumb, and then there is insane - seriously how did Brittany ever finish the first grade?! The Santa thing was one thing, this made it worse! I'm not keen on what they've done with Brittany. She used to be mysterious, and say great one liners, and dance up a storm...
I'm still not used to seeing Brittany, Santana and Quinn in regular clothes...and I'm not loving Quinn's hair....I have hair issues I know!

I liked having Emma back. There were some great quotes thrown about in this ep. I liked the celibacy club thing, it was nice little reference back to season 1....ah better times....
It was good to have Stamos back too, and the digg at doctor shows was hilarious...at least for me, because I'm watching his eps of ER.

I really hate The Wharblers...their songs are nice and all....but it feels like they should just have their own spinoff and stop taking time away from the McKinley kids. Plus Kurt needs to hurry up and get back to McKinley....is he even coming back? I mean its like he's off on that other show...They may as well not even put him in the eps, it seems forced and makes no real difference to the main stories.
The whole Brittana thing has reached a new level of weird. Santana has decided she's gay? I'm confused...
Sue popped up for 2 seconds....in the Kurt storyline...apparently she lives on that other show too now. I still don't understand how the Cheerios are over for good...it doesn't seem like there will be much for Sue to do.

I really hate the preachyness Glee has taken on this season. The alcohol ep was bad enough, now a sex ep. Geez. Get on with competing! Anybody remember those big group numbers they used to do? Anybody? I mean little trios, duets and the occasional solo are fine, but as a Glee club they are supposed to be practicing for competitions.

I'm really confused about Glee at the moment. I have no idea where its going...and no idea what is going on in the heads of the writers/show runners. The quality that was there in season 1 appears to be long gone. Its gone completely teenybopper and that sucks. I mean, I hardly even remember the songs in the eps anymore. I don't rush to buy the soundtracks, or download the extra songs....
Maybe they will find their way, or maybe it'll keep dropping in quality and I'll be forced to let it go. Its very sad. Please bring back Kristin Chenoweth before that happens!
