Did Will actually think that mash-up communicated that he *wasn't* interested in her? That was some crazy stuff right there. But not so crazy as the ridiculous pregnancy storylines, which include both Will and Finn apparently never touching their S.O.'s.

Also, wtf with Mercedes reaction the news about the baby!daddy?

But even worse, that was practically the only time we saw people outside the love cluster characters. The "other Asian" joke isn't so funny when that really is what he is in the show. Honestly, why is everyone in the club so willing to revolve around those few awful students?

Yeah, it was a whole lot of WTF? tonight.

And I mostly like Rachel and Quinn.

That had to be my least favorite Glee. I kept waiting for Quinn to scream at Finn for deciding for her that her parents would know -- what was that? I'd be so mad if someone made that decision for me.

Also I just really hate the baby storyline.

She told him repeatedly not to tell anybody.

I mean, she shouldn't be lying to him about him being the father, but regardless, he should be respecting her wishes! The whole thing left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Honestly, the only thing that keeps him from being an irredeemable villain for it is that oh yeah, she's basically doing the same thing to him by deciding he should be the father of her child even though he isn't. Which doesn't make him much better. He's just presumptuous and also gullible.

Sometimes I think the whole storyline's a clever way to show how sex ed and abortion are good things.

The best woman in this show is the coach. Or Kirk.

Also, I am really squicked by Finn singing "You're Having My Baby." Not just becaues the song is squicky and condescending, but also because it's Quinn's choice as to when, where, and how to tell her parents about the baby. I mean, her parents are horrific, and I really felt for Quinn, but I really wanted to punch Finn in his stupid face.

Ugh, this. (Hi, I hardly ever comment here! but the fail has driven me to join you in condemning it.) Also, I thought it was really weird and OOC that apparently Kurt was the one who suggested this plan? Because the whole thing had the feel of a coming out scene, or rather an outing scene, and Kurt of all people should know how incredibly WRONG that is.

Well, Kurt's what? 15? So I do cut him some slack. He probably didn't see the connection to outing someone. I would hope.

I have not been able to connect with Prentiss since she showed up on CM. For some reason, to me, she throws off the balance of the show when she gets too much screen time.

However, tonight's story was so obviously written around the end twist that it almost made the case irrelevant. And it showed.

And, there wasn't even any Sue Sylvester or Principal Figgins to make things more enjoyable.

I so agree here. There must be Sue in every episode! And Kurt. And I'm liking Rachel and Puck(mohawk?), too.

See, I LOVE Prentiss. She's my favorite after Garcia. I just found her eyelashes last night REALLY DISTRACTING.

If they could get rid of all the pregnancy plotlines, acknowledge Shuester's douchitude, and give more spotlight to characters other than Rachel, Finn and Quinn, I'd be a lot happier.
