The last two episodes have been lacking in the very thing that I really enjoyed about the earlier episodes of "Glee" - the strong group numbers, the interactions all over the place (the phone call among all of the kids except Rachel, Finn, Puck and Quinn, when they wanted to keep Rachel from finding out that Puck's the baby's father) and the pacing (jumping from story to story in the same episode).
I know that they need to develop some of the story lines, but focusing on just one or two story lines in a single episode...slows...everything...way...down... I'm not used to seeing that on Glee. Maybe doing it once or twice to shake up the devices that they use to tell the stories, but not consecutively.
I get that the show is trying to reflect the way things pan out in real life - like Kurt and his dad navigating Kurt's coming out, or Rachel's coming to terms with growing up without a mom - in real life, this stuff can't be resolved in a day or two. That is one thing I really enjoy about Glee - they managed to do it well with quick-paced action and dialogue, interspersed with moments of quiet and reflection. Why are they changing it now?
