Glee-cap: Laryngitis

“Hey!  Ladyface!”

– Sue Sylvester

Just like a bad haircut, my gleecaps are getting shorter and blunter.  Here’s my take on tonight’s episode:

What was GOOD:

• Finn singing “Jesse’s Girl” … delish! (I doubt I’m the only one who suspects the Jesse character was so named, solely so they could do this wonderful Rick Springfield number?  I was instantly transported to the roller skating rink, circa 1982.)
• Santana and Mercedes going at it via “The Boy is Mine,” although Santana’s voice is a tad snarly for my taste
• Quinn playing the role of Mother Teresa – LOVE it!
• Somewhat sappy but awesome exchange between Kurt and his dad, embracing their differences

What was BAD:

• Mark Salling’s acting skills (sorry I have to break it to you Puck-lovers, but it’s true – the guy should NOT open his mouth unless he’s singing)
• Kurt’s snarls and otherwise painful expressions during “Pink Houses” (kept expecting him to cough up a lugey)

Fortunately, the pro’s outweighed the con’s here, and I’m pleased to report that, generally speaking, the episodes seem to be back on track in terms of awesome-ness.

Stay tuned to next week in which, if the previews are any indication, we get to see how Neil Patrick Harris looks in a mullet!
