umm, no it wasn't. Way back in the first half of season 1 Santana says "sex isn't dating" to which Brittney charms in with "If it were Santana and I would be dating." Awkward looks are shared all around and conversation moves forward. (specific episode is Sectionals).

Hm. I don't remember that.
I love Rachel's voice but she does sing too much. They were saying, though... that Rachel will be singing less often and everyone else will be singing a bit more. they're also trying to develop the really minor characters more.

Dunno about this episode, it had good/great moments, but it somehow felt... "not right" like... if it was somehow broken. I can't put my finger on it.
Still, it was nice to see Mike Chang "singing".

You forgot the scenes where we see Finn and Sam abs (neither are songs), and also Sue's Corner, that one was awesome, If I had kids I would follow her advice.
Also too bad that when they did "Time Warp" that they let Flinn sing what is supposed to be Riff-Raff's lines - I wanted to see what Kurt could do with that.

I really want to say that when you are closer to be 30, than you are closer to be a minor, people not only have the right but the duty to ignore the role you are in. Really, Cory can't pass as someone who is 21, much less 16-17.I guess I'm not as into the abs of people portraying teenage boys. I guess that comes from my not being a gay man.

Much better, we still have to fix the bit about not being gay, but everything at it's own time

Damn, I am really the only one that still cares about this show in this forum? =(
I actually meant to post about the most recent episode. I'd love to hear your thoughts GL. Personally I thought it took any subtlety and nuance/realism in how they have dealt with Kurt and his struggles and just threw it all right out the window. It was like a cheesy, bad after school special. I think they could have done a lot better. The songs weren't half bad though, except for the awful Kate Perry song. That was just terrible.
I really liked the last episode, even if the mashups were lacking compared to last season. Teenage Dream was amazing though.

Dunno dude, after a lifetime of never seeing the issue in tV, I don't really care that much about sublety... It did bother me some lack of realism, mostly Blaine and Kurt walking holding hands (that is not only unrealistic between two people that never met, but somehow... impratical way of running, imagined if someone trip... well I got distracted).
Also, where is Mercedes?? I don't think Kurt should have told her about the bully, but they should had at least ONE scene in this episode, even if was a out of character scene where she dismiss his problems or something.
I din't liked any of the musics in this episode, mostly it was "warm" I guess, not really terrible, but could have been a lot better.
I am not entirely sure how to feel about the bully and the kiss, besides thinking that it was probably was the most traumatic first kiss in the history of television.

Oh, I wanted to ask you guys something that is a rather a strong point of debate in another forum.
What you guys think about Kurt telling Blaine about Karkofsky? Many think that it was dangerous and essencially a outing of a guy who is too scared deep in the closet and sort of a betrayal (one poster went as far as saying that the last locker pushing was deserved) others don't even see a problem at all.
Me: I think it was wrong... but not maliciously wrong, just something stupid that a kid would do after a traumatic incident... not the best, but somehow the "human" reaction to it. =P

Love Glee!
Teenage Dream is an okay song but I absolutely loved the Glee version, the boys did a fantastic job.

They didn't really "out" him, though with how scared he obviously was, they shouldn't have done that in a public place. They were trying to reach out to him, but he obviously wasn't ready for it. That he continues to shove Kurt just shows he's still turning to anger and violence to deny it.

Well, "out" is also used as any instance where a person finds out about another person sexuality, it doesn't really needs to be "out to everyone".
But yeah, the conducted that poorly.
I have a friend that somehow manages to like her. I just don't understand.
I wonder if she is going to take a more important role in the next episodes, since the early season was just about Kurt or other minor characters
I think this AV Club review summed up why I disliked that last episode much better than i did: "Never Been Kissed" | Glee | TV Club | TV | The A.V. Club

So... mostly, this episode somehow lived up to his title, it really felt like a subistute, I don't remember any of it's songs right after they are sung, and... a tots storyline? seriously?
I think that the only things that are really good about it are "a little purse fell from my mouth" and brittany thinking that the broccoli was a little tree where gummie bears lived in.

Well, next week we meet Sue's mom, at least that should be fun.
also, is Kurt and Blaine together or what???
edit:
Also Karsofsky winking at Kurt in one scene, and threating of death in the other, what is up with that?

Sue was great. The producers number Mike and Shue did was also awesome. And there is nothing smoking, nor hot about Gweneth "boring as hell" Paltrow. Although I did actually really like that number.
You know, last season had a very clear arc that every episode moved forward, so even if an individual episode didn't have everything you wanted at least it moved the story forward. This season seems like it's been a series of filler episodes, some meh, some okay, but who knows what the overall arc is supposed to be. It seems like it's very similar to last season but it hasn't moved forward since the first episode of the season.
