Pot O' Gold



Rory seems like a pretty cool character and a nice addition to the cast. I wasn't expecting him to hit those notes when he went falsetto though. Dem's high notes for sure. He even made Bein' Green...cool and appropriate. Also, it seems that Sue is finally going to have a nice story arc now that Burt Hummel is running against her for City Congressman. Just imagine all the insanity that will come from her trying to sabotage Burt and Will, who is his campaign manager. Should have some funny stuff coming our way.

The First Time



This one seemed a bit off to me. I wasn't particular fond of any of the songs, with the exception of The Warbler's rendition of Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. As for the stories...meh. I did like the scene with Coach Beiste when she was getting asked out on a date though.

I'm losing patience with this show and I really don't think I'm gonna even make it to the end of the season. The Brit and Sue quotes are all but gone. They still get them every once in a while, but they are far from memorable.

Mash Off



Story wise, this was one of the better ones with regards to Santana being "outed" by Finn, Pucks relationship with his teacher Shelby, and the TV Ads that Sue is using in her race against Burt. Back to Santana (Naya Rivera). I have always known Naya to be the best actress of all the kids on Glee and this episode justifies that claim. Her "apology" to Finn which turns into a full blown insult would even make Sue step back in shock..or Glee. But it's her reaction to realizing that she's just been outed and subsequent slap across the face on Finn that left me speechless. As great as these stories are, the episode is marred with two of the worst songs this series has ever produced. Their rendition of Van Halen's own Hot For Teacher was horrible. HORRIBLE! And bringing up the rear was the mash up of Hit Me With Your Best Shot / One Way or Another by Pat Benatar and Blondie was just as bad.

It's a shame that these two renditions kind of overshadows an amazing one with the Troubletones take on Adele's song Rumor Has It, which was awesome.
