SOMETHING HAS CHANGED WITHIN ME: So, an interesting little episode of Glee last night--light on things we dislike ("fake baby" subplot completely absent!) but also some things we like (only 3 songs, with 1 at the start and 2 at the end). Perhaps because of the lack of singing (and lack of Finn/Rachel focus), it was also much less campy, and YMMV as to whether that's a good thing--Sepinwall, who's not much for the camp, generally liked this one. And yes, there was some authentically emotionally affecting stuff in there--the plot with Kurt and his dad is honest and tender, the Sue Sylvester plotline was (for once) more than an excuse for Jane Lynch to deliver great bitchy lines, the Quinn/Puck scene when cooking cupcakes was tender in that cheesy teen-rom-com way, and it was nice to see Tina and Artie get a plotline. There was still plenty of funny--Jeff Lewis (Vork!, whose appearance should require that Felicia Day appear in the Whedon-directed episode, perhaps as a relative of Emma's) as the guy Finn and Rachel blackmail into giving Finn a job, and (as Isaac observed) pretty much every moment from Heather Elizabeth Morris as Brittany. What did everyone else think?
