As much as I adore gLee (and I do!) I was somewhat diappointed and nonplussed about this episode. I love kurt and blaines momnets, it was lovely to see Tina talking (I hate that it does seem like she is slipping through the cracks when I think there is soooo much potential there! I would love to hear tina sing a full solo that isn't interupted by hecklers, Tina mentions being an asian sex symbol in season two and I think they should run with that and have Tina do some renditions of j.pop and j rock songs...I would LOVE to see her do a song by BoA or Utada Hikaru or even go heavy with some Gackt or Miyavi...but for the love of goddess NO AYUMI HAMASAKI she is so overrated!) But I am so unbelievably tired of finnchel!!!! I was actually happy to see Finn so upset and I will laugh out loud and leap for joy if rachels dreams are also crushed soon. I haven't liked rachel berrys character since day one and have been waiting and hoping for something bad to happen to her ( I know I'll get cruxc

Glee seems like it's starting to level off or start diping. Most shows have a shelf life and it seems Glee's will be about 3 or 4 seasons. Two great new shows are Revenge & Once Upon a Time.

This was a pretty short review for a really heavy episode. No reference to Coach Beiste's romantic involvement or the return of Karofsky or even the most prominent development for the season thus far for Kurt(imo) with the introduction of Sebastian, I loathe him so already. I thought this was a pretty good episode, I'm curious to see where they'll go with some of these potential story arcs. So sad to see the tension between Mike and his dad but maybe I'm biased because I have a friend who's in a "Mike Chang" sort of situation - Opera degree vs. Ophthalmology degree (and yes my friend is Asian) - Also, to answer your question, I would consider myself a Glee fan but not a "Gleek". Why would anyone want to refer to themselves as projectile saliva?
personaly i like this week episode... U know i think i would feel more uncomfortable with kurt and blaine talking about the first time but the writers just make it so natural that i was ok with that. Being straight i have no shame to say that kurt and blaine are my favourite couple by far so i was like c“mon there's no need to introduced them in this path but again i said it just feel so natural.
I must agreed with you saing what the hell no Sue? And so little of Brittany o Rory (im just into this new direction leprochaun).
I like Tina telling her first time (just like anybody think it would be) and Brittany's first time just like an alien abdution (like it was for me).
So thumbs up for this week episode ;)

OK, lemme get this outta the way first.
@phil, step away from the crack pipe and start packing for Betty Ford.
There...that's better. As for the ep, sure it was romantic and not at all risque or inappropriate. However it left me cold musically (songs from a 50s musical and an 80s tune by Billy Joel--the writers know this IS 2011 right?) and as the reviewer said, someone hit the "pause" button on the ongoing story arcs--with the possible exception of the dynamic between Mike and his Dad (and BTW, would the writers please take that lump of coal outta the Dad's butt--surely it's a diamond by now).
Hopefully next week's ep will mark a return to "normal."

They need to show more 69. I mean be realistic. And why infer 50% of the sexually active people are gay?
btw, isn't some of this behavior considered criminal in some quarters? Is Glee promoting criminal behavior?
It would seem the producers of this show are very irresponsible..

With this episode Glee became the most important entertainment show of the 21st century. I hope the staff can shoulder the burden.
The writers are brilliant. Anyone who objects to Kurt and Blaine having sex, but doesn't complain about Finn and Rachel or Tina and Mike can easily be labeled a homophobe. Anyone who objects to all the sex can be labeled a prude.
I've always believed that it would be dishonest to Kurt's character if he didn't eventually have sex with a boy. I also believed that a girl like Rachel would lose her virginity in a career-based situation, so that made sense.
It was Tina's announcement that hurt me. Few viewers care whether Tina and Mike had sex or not, but for her to speak of the experience in such glowing terms was disheartening.
Now that only Mercedes and Emma are still virgins, and Glee has possibly reduced the number of young virgins in the world, it is time for Glee to introduce an important story line that will cement its status as socially importa
i loved this episode,, but i too felt something missing or lacking,, but finchel filled it up..

i loved this ep, i thought it was sweet and awkward but romantic and loving enough to cover all the plot gaps that you all seem to be so annoyed with. and as much as sex isn't a major story line for teens, it's just business as usual, the first time you have sex is. it's important and i feel sorry for those people whose first time didn't mean anything, mine did and i am glad that it will stay with me forever as cheesy as that sounds. i am glad that both couples kinds fumbled on the first try, it really is awkward to just up and do it when you have never done it before. this episode will be my fav from this season. as for other plots? well, they just had to wait and it's fine by me, it's not like we always have to deal with the same issues week in week out, good to have other issues take light every now and then, it's refreshing.
it was good to see Karofskey, hope this isn't the last time and Sebastian spells lots of trouble and i can't wait. the gay bar was kinda shaggy, it was a defi

I usually love Glee...but this episode sucked. Seriously. The plot was not interesting, and it tries too hard to be serious. The thing about the first season was that sex wasn't as...dramatized. Every episode was light-hearted and cute, even when dealing with cheating and pregnancy. You don't need to dedicate an episode to everyone talking about sex--it's everyday life, not a major plot. Probably the worst episode I've seen.

Think this is possibly the least coherent review you've given in a while. Missed out quite a lot of little plot points that didn't really need to be ignored and went off seemingly on a tangent at the end. The episode was great, not perfect but great (in my opinion), but I felt the review you gave didn't match the stars you gave. A little more next time?
