A return to basics. An emphasis about the core characters. The reduction of stunt casting and theme episodes and PSA-like messages each week.
Ryan Murphy and company promised these improvements and much more in the weeks before the Glee season premiere, "The Purple Piano Project," and it's really safe to convey: the show delivered. Hugely.

Glee Season 3 Ep 4There was clearly no agenda, whether it's linked to sex or drugs or homosexuality. Instead, there was clearly simply time spent with New Directions and also the realistic problems many of them would face in the real world. Best case in point: Rachel and Kurt.
Seriously, TV Fanatics, boost the comfort: who out there hasn't been in a similar situation towards the one these experienced after they walked in on that incredible band of talented teens? Your home is in a bubble of one's small town or high school, you master something among your peers and you have no idea that a gigantic world exists beyond those hallways.
Heck, I had been a 6'0" Jewish kid who thought, in eighth grade, that my basketball jersey might eventually be retired at Duke University. It's funny to take into account now, and embarrassing to write, but it was legitimately dream-crushing at that time to understand precisely how my skills in comparison with many others on the market. But at the very least Rachel and Kurt, carrying out a good cry, aren't giving up.
Glee Season 3 Ep 6I'll require a pep talk-giving, Senior Class President-running, happily and steadily-dating-Blaine Kurt Hummel any moment in the whining victim this character morphed into last season. Done well, Glee.
Quinn, naturally, moved within the other way. She isn't embracing her inner Gleek, she's rejecting it. Again, though, this happens constantly. Students cannot be supposed to truly know who they may be and lots of of them, girls especially, run with various crowds through the years. Does this seem sudden and drastic, taking into consideration the Quinn Fabray who only thought about winning prom queen just a few months earlier? Yes.
But Glee were required to have the serious changes and is essentially admitting as much. I'm fine your. Bring about the practically clean slate, I believe that.
Free Glee EpisodesExcept with regards to Will and Emma. It turned out startling to determine both of these as being a full-fledged couple already, sleeping in a similar bed and acting like everything Wemma fans always imagined they are often. I'm glad they're there, and incredibly glad for Will's sake that Emma now knows what it seems like to get aroused, nevertheless it would have been nice to have watched their progress, rather than being thrown strait into bed together (especially when a certain body part of Will's awakens early. TMI alert!).
Will's private region isn't area I'm thinking about, though. Let's focus instead on his spine. Who knew the guy had one?!? Firing Santana, disallowing Sugar from transforming into a member, glitter-bombing Sue. Just like the changes the show made to Kurt, all I'm able to think are: bravo. I'll stop pining let's focus on Holly Holiday to teach New Directions.

Fortunately, some characters stay the same. Brittany still thinks her nipples are part of pepperoni, Santana is still a proud, straightforward diva, Sue is still... Sue. It had grown tiresome to watch her tear into Will and the club all the time, and her run for Congress even possesses it own hint of realism. No, not too a rapist could try and snag the job from prison.
But that numerous people go about doing look down on the arts and with the economy tanking across the nation, it's entirely conceivable a platform to reduce this system in public places schools really could gain traction. What i'm saying is, Sue Sylvester on a state-wide stage? If she demands an outfit code created from nothing but track suits, she could even get my vote.
Closing thoughts:
Shalom, blogosphere. The moment I heard these opening words, I had created a feeling we had been looking for a fun hour.
An early mention of the should be genuine section on blogs? Nice little nod to Internet critics of season two.
Kurt and Blaine watch The Bachelorette together. Anyone surprised?
What about toast? Bread's already been baked. I can't get why you need to cook it again. What can the percentages have been receiving Becky uttering easily the funniest line of the night?
A perfect quantity of performances for an episode, each fitting snugly into ongoing storylines each just so darn catchy. Using the New Directions yet again underdogs, no, we can not stop their beat. Why would we should?
