Glee 206: A kiss is just a kiss
I know we don’t watch Glee for its gritty realism. I accept that in real life, high schools aren’t crammed with elderly-looking kids who all have Broadway-standard singing voices.

Glee (19): Sweet dreams are made of this
I don’t know whose idea it was to give Mr Schue a rival to battle with instead of nemesis Sue, Terri-ble the ex-wife or sweet but mad as a bag of cats Emma – but they’re a genius. Neil Patrick … Continue reading

Glee (18): I’m a sex shark – if I stop moving, I die
Can you have too much glee? I don’t honestly know, but Glee seems to be a little short of glee right now and suffering from diabetes-threatening levels of sugar instead Three story strands were woven through the episode: Rachel losing … Continue reading
