“Glee” Recap and Complete Episode-SEE IT HERE

Dear Gleeks-

Is it just me, or is “Glee” really losing it? I mean, I know you’ve listened to me complain about this since season two began, but after last night’s episode, I believe I finally have some proof. I honestly cannot see how you can argue with me on the failure that ‘Special Education’ was last night.

We start off right away with an adult story-line between Will and Emma, which, I really don’t care about. Do you? Do you still care if Will and Emma get together? And before you say anything, need I remind you that many of you emailed last week with your disappointment that Will and Gwyneth’s character didn’t make a mash-up of their own. So no, you don’t care either really.

Then we’re stuck listening to Will yell at Rachel. I have issues with this. Despite me not wanting to stick up for Rachel, I kinda feel like it’s necessary to do so. Here we have Rachel in her true, honest form: she’s selfish, she’s self-involved, etc. And Mr. Shue yells at her for it! What happened to Glee Club being the place where everyone is respected? I understand the need to showcase other talent –BUT THERE ISN’T ANY!!!! For real people. This is not a singing club. We’ve already established that Mike Chang cannot sing and, once they started, I wanted to pull my ears off listening to Quinn and Sam butcher the most important ballad of 1987.

Last week was all about accepting people and not bullying one another. But I can’t help but wonder why everyone can bully Rachel and no one, not her teacher, not her boyfriend, stick up for her. OK. Puck did. Kinda. And at the end, when Finn dumps her for making out with the one person that kinda stood up for her, I genuinely feel badly for her. And I don’t want this. I liked it when she was annoying and the other characters rolled their eyes and accepted this. I don’t want to feel sorry for her. Boo!

Because of all this, I nearly miss the few funny parts of the episode: Puck being locked in a porta potty, Puck deciding to help out the Jews, Puck finding the replacement for New Directions. Hmmm…I am sensing a theme. Could Ryan Murphy actually think that, if Sue Sylvester isn’t in an episode then we give all the funny business to Puck? Is no one else on this show capable of being funny anymore?
Apparently not, because these are the only times I am laughing. Well, that and when the geriatrics sang. And for that, I felt bad.

In fact, I don’t care the Emma doesn’t come to sectionals, and I don’t care that she and Uncle Jesse jetted off to Vegas and got hitched (writer’s note: from now on, Emma will be referred to as Mrs. Uncle Jesse).

And I don’t care that Kurt doesn’t get his solo or doesn’t seem to fit in. In fact, by time the New Directions were in the Best Green Room Ever, I wanted it to come to blows. I wanted mutiny. I wanted Rachel to walk out, I wanted Shue to be left there alone. I am kinda pissed they tied with the Warblers actually.

I think the Hipsters were robbed.
