But I'm just going to say it: Best scene in the show was when Idina Menzel and Mr. Shu met for the first time at the Vocal Adrenaline rehearsal. She better sing. It's crazy how much better she looks on camera in "Glee" than she did in the "Rent" movie - she looked old and overly made up then. Last night, she looked great. And I was so pumped when she went back to his apartment. I like where that storyline is going.
Jonathan Groff was also a great addition, as let's face it, everyone knew it would be. Cory Monteith as Finn has never been able to sing as well as Lea Michele as Rachel so, Fox, nice work at finally giving us a talented guy. (I've always liked Artie, but he hardly sings alone! And that David Bowie cover...ugh.) He and Michele have great chemistry already, probably from acting opposite one another in "Spring Awakening."
The episode itself was mediocre partially because though we had a break from the show, the show did not give any time difference like a Spring break or something. It plunged in almost unnervingly - though the recap was thorough and funny. Also, it occurred to me last night a pretty big plot flaw - there's not way in "real life" that Vocal Adrenaline and New Directions would be competing. Most competitions of this sort divide by size and VA is huge while ND is small. Maybe I just want to keep Groff on the show for as long as possible.
