Glee is back!

I know season 2 of Glee has started some time already but the first two episodes were rather disappointing. The first episode was about recruiting new people for glee. Both candidates weren't that interesting. Didn't really like that girl. I read some feedback online prior to the premier of season 2 that people weren't really happy with that girl joining the cast of glee. That perhaps explains what happened to the character.

The 2nd episode - omg. It was basically just a Britney Spears tribute. No storyline at all. Well, to be fair, just barely. I only liked Brittany doing Britney at the beginning of the episode and it just went downhill. Rachel doing "Baby one more time" made me nostalgic but that was about it. Thank goodness for the last song that Rachel did. I know Britney started the whole provocative teenage pop princess thing but is she really that great to warrant a whole episode of practically nothing but her?? Seriously I think a lot of songs nowadays have very...inappropriate lyrics and it's rather unsettling to hear kids sing these songs. Is there nothing else to sing about?

But anyway, episode 3 made me really happy! The story is really sad but it felt that Glee was back, with everything that I liked about it. Great story, great songs, touched on real issues. The grilled cheesus thing was quite funny. I learned how to make grilled cheese sandwich. Want to get me one of those grills thingy.

What I love about Glee is that they mix important issues with comedy and music. Entertaining and educational. Like Sesame Street. Ha.. Hey, Glee is Sesame Street for young adults!
