I just thought it was a little too predictable. I would have liked for someone to finally like Rachel ... but maybe that will be a twist later! I don't know...

I think it's probably too early to really think we know his motives.

Yes, we saw the eye contact between him and coach Idina, but his expression was something less than unambiguous. Isn't it possible that he really likes Rachel and that coach Idina encouraged him to set Rachel up? Maybe he doesn't know yet what he's going to do.

(again, sorry if this was already discussed. I admittedly did not go back to read what was already written.)
It's funny figuring out that I was totally wrong about this! (I mean, I guess there could still be a major plot twist...)

...I just got to watch the episode on hulu tonight. It's been a rough semester

That's what I'm hoping. I hope that he is truly interested in her. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds!

Thanks for humoring me!

One ominous look didn't tell me anything except Idina has great glaring powers.

It was foreshadowing some future scene, I'm sure. I doubt it was pointless.

Oh I doubt it was pointless, I was just saying it I totally missed that the first time!

Loved this episode, though I thought the whole "You guys haven't been respecting the girls!" storyline was out of nowhere.

Okay so maybe its because I"ve missed glee and have made it more in my head, but does it feel, different to anyone? idk how to describe it. Maybe the episodes seem rushed, or like, theres more music (not that I don't love music) than there is talking. I don't feel like there was as much music in the earlier episodes. Idk.

Still got chills during like a prayer today.

I definitely am getting that feeling too. There's way more singing, although I'm pretty sure that this being Madge's episode upped the song count. Great episode though!

I don't know how I feel about this Santana/Finn deal. I loved Finn last season/half-season, I'm not so sure about him anymore

I've read interviews with the producers and they said that they were putting more music into the show in response to tremendous viewer feedback.

If you have ever done musical theater (or are a fan), you'll realize that this show operates the same way (more so now, with having more music). Musicals tell the story through song (and dance). It replaces dialogue. Glee does that - when a character has a feeling or there is an emotional interaction, BAM! they break out in song.

Believe me I understand how musicals 'work'. What I'm saying is that the first 12 episode structure is different than these back 9 have been.

Yes, they're trying to cram way too much into one episode, and yet the characters aren't being developed at all. The last two episodes have been all about Rachel, Finn, Mr Shu, Redhead and Sue. And the new kid from the other glee club. I miss the STORY, the well-written dialogue between songs that wasn't just a one-liner. Forgive the analogy, but it feels like the formula of a porn...a few minutes of action with a few seconds of awkward, meaningless dialogue thrown in as a transition.

The hair jokes are also way out of left field. They're funny, but why is Sue making so many jokes about Will's hair all of a sudden?
