Burt Hummel was amazing tonight. He needs to be on more. And something else I noticed- as much as I love jane Lynch, the show gets on just fine without Sue Sylvester.

Dude, I really don't like Lady Gaga (though I love what she inspires, case in point) but this episode had Kiss and Gaga and the most amazing Cover of pokerface EVER (and I have the Southpark AND Christopher Walken versions)...
It was pure win.
Even when it was pure fail (WILL SHUESTER) it was awesometastic.
Can they keep the outfits?

Between the Glee version and the ReBeatles project version, I think I've had my share of awesome Poker Face reinterpretations.

(Googling doesn't seem to help with the latter, which I guess means I'll have to find a way to share it with the public at large.)

We were mentioning (at "Beth") that "There are always these inexplicable musicians here. Well, at least the music is coming from somewhere!" and then LAMPSHADE. BIG OLD FUCKING LAMPSHADE. HI BRAD.

Agreed! My Burt Hummel love is ever expanding!

I had a lot of fun with this episode and I agree with your calculations! Also glad they are giving Puck more lead singing!!!!!

Just saw this,

Honestly, I think Quinn should have walked up to Puck after "bet", looked into his eyes, and given him a good hard slap.

Because the lyrics are all about how he knows he's being an asshole, baby, but he's just going to do it anyway and give false sympathy to her suffering as a result- because he has no intention AT ALL of changing a goddamn thing. But he's SENSITIVE!!! Yeah, right. Talk about a low requirement.
