it may have been seriously miscast, because Jon Groff, with his eyes and his chemistry, brought too much to a character that apparently essentially needed to be a douche
I am caught between loving that he's here, because I love everything he does all the time (and seriously, he says three words and it's suddenly one of the best lines in the episode. "I'm so depressed." FANTASTIC.) and hating it, because he's my second favorite character now and that's obviously not how his arc was supposed to go down. The writing in this episode felt close to sabotage, and yet there's still emotion there-not written, just in Groff's performance. It's wonderful to watch. It's hugely problematic. I can't take it; I care so much more than I should, and more than the show obviously wants.
VA: needs to win. Because they are better. Easy. (After this episode, I'm going to say that any show choir that doesn't do funk is that much better for it. If I never hear the word "funk" again, it'll be too soon.)
Oh, and Rachel/Mike Chang would be splendid. Mike Chang!
