There'd be no way in hell anyone could ban tater tots from any school in Idaho. We had the potato commissioner at the coin toss for our last football game and I live in the wheat growing section.

I felt bad for Mercedes because no one likes it when their friend is in a new relationship (though Kurt says it isn't one) and all they do is talk about the other person or invite them along like a third wheel, if they don't flake on you. The story line of her just wanting a boyfriend or date kind of trivialized people who just want friends and a social life, and I felt reinforced the whole coupling and partnering of society and that if only we could find someone we'd be happy.

I lost it so hard when the conversation at Breadsticks was Mercedes hearing "gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, GAY" and a pink purse fell out of Kurt's mouth. it reminds me of a dear friend everyone assumes is my boyfriend until, as he describes it, he opens his mouth and six yards of taffeta fall out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was rubbed the wrong way by that scene. I thought Kurt's "You replace love with food, go find a man so you can love yourself" thing was really condescending and I was surprised when it became an "aww BFF" moment.

Bahahahahaha - I laughed out loud.

To me it's refreshing to have something, anything, other than Rachel and...whomever. Rachel has almost worn herself out of the show for me. They need to bring her away from the edge for me to embrace her again. And I'm tired of Finn, because he can't sing. And yet they keep giving him the male lead in songs, and it so doesn't work.

I wish I could say I liked it, but I had more criticism than praise.

I think the Kurt bullying plot line is timely, but its starting to be the main focus of the show, which isn't really holding my attention. Did anyone else think it was odd that he was star of the wedding? I understand that the kids are the main characters and not the parents, but they're the bride and groom, why are we talking about how awesome Kurt is at their wedding? It rubbed me the wrong way. In any case, I think he'll be back at McKinley in three episodes, so don't fret.

This episode was also a little short on music, so I was "meh" about that.

Carol Burnett, however, stole my heart in every scene.

While the Kurt bully plot is the main focus right now, I think they are doing it because of what is going on in the real world. Too often we are hearing about a young adult take their life because of bullying, now it is becoming more prevalent with homophobia. If this plot line can help one person stand up to the bullying then I say more power to Glee.

Same here. Maybe my least favorite episode to date -- the wedding grated on all my nerves, as did Finn's toast. Hey, best man, toast the bride and groom, not someone else.

The first song didn't come until almost the halfway point.

Yep, as she always does with me. As fas as I was concerned, she was the only redeeming part of the show last night.

Thoughts on last night's episode?

If they enter a performance through the back and sing down the aisles one more time I'm going to vomit - seriously. But I'm glad they did "Valerie" it's one of my favorite songs.

I also can't look at Darren Criss (Blaine) without seeing Harry Freakin' Potter - if you know what I'm talking about you're totally awesome.

I was relatively disappointed with last night's episode. I thought Brittany was great, as usual. (I loved it when she said, "I know that the cricket who reads to me at night is totally stealing my jewelry.) The episode as a whole was just kinda 'meh' for me.

Seriously, I could watch "Draco" roll around the stage FOREVER.

I want her to be on Glee

Agreed. But at least it was better than last week's episode.
