Watercooler: Glee Wows Us Once More

Amber Riley Damn, when Glee is nice, it's goooood. Last evening, following the new season's "meh" first couple of excursions, the musical returned its groove having a dazzling hour that dared to build up figures, present amounts that beg to become rewatched, and pull on our heartstrings - all within the same episode. It had been like i was watching the show we fell deeply in love with if this opened last year. Except in those days, there never could have been a lot attention compensated to Brittany, Mike Chang, Emma and Mercedes, who all reached shine alongside regular plot-motorists Rachel and Kurt, not rather than them. Basically built around Mike getting an "Asian F" in chemistry (a b-minus towards the relaxation people), the episode sensibly increased the spotlight also to easily fit in Brittany's Beyonce-inspired bid for senior-class leader, a heartbreaking visit from Emma's ginger root-supremacist parents, and Mercedes' lengthy-past due emergence like a vocal super-energy threat to Rachel's reign as resident leading lady. A lot emotion, a lot juicy stuff for the entire cast. It had been near-perfect. Our only nit to choose is the fact that Santana did not have nearly enough to sing, but even that people can forgive considering the combined awesome from the full-blown Dreamgirls number and also the Rachel-Mercedes Maria-Off. That business only agreed to be divine. Better still, many of these story lines key up a lot of potential drama moving forward, as things will certainly get heated throughout the gang's manufacture of West Side Story, the course election and, obviously, the evolution of Shelby's new show choir. With the much division and competition, we are unsure if New Directions makes it through senior year successfully. But when Glee stays within this fine an application, we'll happily stay with them 'til graduation to discover. What about you?
