What I’m Watching: Glee


Glee: Season 3, Episode 6 “Mash Off” (C+)

After an episode all about love and waiting for the right time, now we have an installment about the power of words. While Sue’s over-the-top campaigns were actually quite funny, the show somehow crossed a line somewhere in the middle with the sudden involvement of Santana’s sexuality and Burt coming in to address the situation with Sue. Speaking of elections, Rachel withdrawing from the race in the middle of her speech felt a bit forced, and I’m surprised that Kurt isn’t more offended since she essentially boiled it down to doing him a favor so that he’d have something to put on his college application. Mercedes is becoming far too much of a diva, and I think she worked better on the show in a supporting capacity rather than her new leadership position which for some reason included staff member Shelby in the vote. Finn and Santana have never been meaner to each other, and I think they both took it way too far, resulting in Santana getting extremely hurt and taking out her fury on him. I do hope that Puck’s crush on Shelby won’t head anywhere beyond where it’s already gone, and, for that matter, Shelby sticking around for a while might not be the best idea. Quinn is not going to take being cut off from her daughter well, and the mash off was hardly as interesting or exciting as it should have been. Hurtful words aside, there’s too little competition, and the clubs seem a bit too tranquil to each other, musically speaking.
