"Finn and Sam half-heartedly shoving each other." I kind of liked this, b/c it felt like Sam and Finn's special little tribute to "Bring it On". I also liked the little digs at Dina Lohan (and her poor dog!) as losers of the year. But otherwise, definitely a "meh" return for the show.
I hate to add to the chorus of folks saying this show has lost its spark but... well, at least maybe taking itself a little less seriously would be a step in the right direction.
I loved She's Not There! Glad to see Cory get some recognition. Basically, all of the zombie-gleek moments were great!
Finn/Quinn kiss was definitely a low not for me, too .... I am Team Finchel still!
Over all, a rush of an episode! Good thing we only need to wait another day for another hit of the Glee drug. 😉
I liked Need You Now. Anyway I am tired of the more recent songs, so if you meant it as being overplayed yes .
If Finn goes back with Quin there is no hope for him. Quinn isproalby only using him to be popular since sheis off the Cherrios and he won the big game.
The brilliant dig at Dina Lohan "she's a loser" and componded by adding Dina's pet dog Sparky "loser by default" was worth listening to all that autotune. Amazed we haven't heard anything about Dina meeting with her lawyers, then again, the week's still young.
Why does it hurt people that there was a song in the mix for pure entertainment?! (Especially since it was awesome.)
