Glee Review: Sue Sylvester's Shuffle

So Glee is back! I am a self-identified Gleek, and I think I will review every single episode. Now this won't be anything too intense, just some thoughts on the songs and the story as a whole. So the song choices were pretty solid. I think that "Bills, Bills, Bills" was the most fun song to listen to, but you have to give mad props to the theatrics involved in "Thriller/Heads Will Roll" (BTW, why didn't the Glee cast do the half-time show? They would have done so much better than the Black Eyed Peas). I loved the signs at the football game. My personal favorite was "#22 is a Ninja" referring to Mike Chang (who did the coolest zombie impression ever). I thought that the plot was very well done considering how weird it may have been. I really liked Will Schuester's comment towards Karofsky. I'm liking that these typically one-dimensional background characters are starting to develop. Sure they retracted back to their old selves, but it was nice. Best line of the night goes to Sue Sylvester (or is it Syvlester?). I may be a little childish, but I really like the fact that she still calls Santana "sandbags". So here's the quote (paraphrased of course): "Just for safe measure, slap yourself with a chicken cutlet." Now I won't get much agreement out of this, but I loved this part. And how about that twist? Now I knew (from reading Entertainment Weekly) that Sam and Quinn were done, and I knew that Sam would end up with Santana and Quinn with Finn. But I didn't realize that it would start so soon. And we need more Blaine and Kurt. Undoubtedly the best couple ever. Also loved the Katie Couric/Barbara Walters/Diane Sawyer bit. Apparently Sue Sylvester beat out Tiger Woods, the economy, Dina Lohan, Mel Gibson, and others for Loser of the Year. Fantastic!
