We’ve had a looong break from Glee and now they’re back with a new episode! And only 4 short years later!

After the dismal Christmas special that left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth and proved that Matthew Morrison can’t be trusted behind a camera, you would think they would really give an honest American effort to pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and starting 2012 out right.

I’m here to tell you nope.

Every episode has to have a theme and this one’s theme is proposals. And boyfriends. And special needs people needing love too. I guess the theme is love. All you need is love and all I need is Mr. Shu to not make this episode about his creepy romance with Miss Pillsbury.

I guess dreams don’t come true. The episode is dedicated to the Shu-meister assigning the kids with the best way for him to propose to his OCD princess. It’s not your job to think of a way to tell the cray-cray woman you love that you want to be with her forever. Let’s just let inexperienced teens who don’t know what love is, break up on weeks ending in an odd number and get back together on weeks ending in an even number how to figure out how to propose to your beloved mess, shall we?

To further illustrate how incompetent these kids are at love and how you probably SHOULDN’T be asking them for romantic advice, Finn starts out the episode by saying he’s going to join the military and be a hero just like his daddy was and then ends the episode **SPOILER ALERT** by proposing to Rachel Berry.

So Mr. Shu, if you are going to put your faith in THESE children, you deserve everything you get.

    Wow – I must have watched a different episode! I liked most of last nights show and loved the songs. [I do agree, however, on how bad the Christmas one was...] Maybe I was charmed by “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” since it is my song with the hubby. I also was waiting for Artie to be found dead at the bottom of the pool when both he and his wheelchair went for a dip. Puck kissing Sam’s hand at the beginning was a bit of a surprise. There were definitely some not-so-good parts but I enjoyed it overall.

    It wasn’t so much that I hated everything. Just that I think Mr. Shu needs to be a man and make man decisions without the help of children. The routines were fun to watch and Sue makes my heart happy.

    Pikey578: yes! My two favorite moments you caught too!

    I lol’d when Artie went into the pool and I wanted to rewind to see if I really saw Puck kiss Sam’s hand. Why did that happen?? Was that in the original Grease??!?

    I am on the fence. They put in things I LOVE – The Beast getting love, synchronized swimming as a comedic element, Sue showing a tender side without losing her badass, Becky with a British accent! Nene Leakes!!!

    So many awesome things until I remember how awful everything involving Mr Shu has become. His plot line alone brought the show down. Finn and Rachel helped. The side characters have become the saving grace and the overly processed stereotypes who whine about one boring, self-absorbed issue endlessly are killing the show.

    Also… NENE!!!! She is no great actress but man can she do sassy black. She squints a lot which I hope she grows out of because her crazy googley eyes are half of what makes her so visually addictive. The other half being those monster truck lips and her amazon frame. I’ve gotten tired of her on RHOA but I have to admit wanting her to take some acting classes and do more appearances!

    The musical numbers were pretty great — and there were enough of them to squeeze out most of the typically lame story lines. So I count this as one of the good Glee episodes. This is the way Glee should be: heavy on the music, light on the acting.

    I’m starting to really like the Sugar character, hope they do more with her.

    I do take issue with the show forcing me to imagine what was in the photo the Becky character sent to the 35-year-old kid in the wheelchair.
