It is so sad to see Glee suck this much ... I gave up on this season until I saw the virgin episode, but now i've started regretting watching it again. It's too painful. The only reason i could consider watching this show now i Darren Criss

The only episodes they seem to be able to pull off lately are the tribute episodes, so my question is, what's the point of storylines? Why don't the writers change the format to a variety show, so that the cast can stop wasting their time on idiotic storylines and just sing for the full hour? The show really needs to step up their game, or they won't have to worry about future seasons, because the fans have just about had enough.

This episode is was the worst one I have seen. I got bored of the whole episode TEN MINUTES IN and watched big bang theory instead. It seems like I did not miss anything at all this week.
I miss Rachel because know we only see Finn hudson'girlfriend
I don't care about the love triangle and the worst part is that Mercedes still hasn't been judged by her behavior in the beginning of the season!
The songs are not as good as they used to be, I miss the broadway songs, and the upbeat numbers like gives you hell, everytime someone sings is sad( except Rachel she rocks sad)
Santana is a joke her character doesn't make sense, she is changing constantly and she never is punished for anything

I have just about given up on this show. Last night was yet another disappointing episode. Glee is simply not what it used to be. There is so much now that I just don't find entertaining about Glee, from having Puck sleep with one of his teachers and making it seem okay because he was 18 (you have got to be kidding) to Santana constantly spewing hate (her put down of Mr. Shu as a Spanish teacher was particularly venomous and her "180" positive remarks about him as as the Glee director didn't help much).
The non-singing portion of this series was never its strong suit, but at least it wasn't painful to watch, as it is now. And the quality of the singing numbers has been sporadic at best, with the "Isla Bonita" being by far the best one last night. So not sure how long I'll continue watching Glee - maybe just long enough to see someone haul off and punch Santana in the mouth. I would love to see that viper "defanged."

This episode...yuck. I hated the music. I'm sorry but I took 5 years of French and sang songs in Latin in chorus. I know one person who speaks fluent Spanish and I live on the East coast. I find it hard to believe there would be such an issue in Ohio. Also Santana, Latinos aren't the only Spanish speakers. Will, I'm sorry but there is no way he could be that horrible of a teacher after teaching the subject for several years. And they have shown in previous episodes they have shown he can speak Spanish. The entire episode, as usual when it has a theme or guest, was tailored to fit what Ricky Martin brought to the show. I enjoyed him but that was about it. I hated the music which is sad because I love Elvis and "Hero".

I'm confused because Will was an okay Spanish teacher in Season 1 and now he can hardly form a coherent sentence? Holy plot device to bring in Ricky Martin! The joke wasn't that he was a crap Spanish teacher but that we never really got to see him teach it except here and there in Season 1! It was a funny episode though. The Sue wanting a baby thing didn't come out of nowhere considering her sister's death and now she has nobody. She was miserable during the Christmas episode. I'm sure she will be adopting a kid or something since she has no uterus. Emma kicked ass, though. And Santana was cruel to be kind which is just the way I like her.

I love reading the review and all of the Gleek comments prior to actually watching the episode.
I often see many comments telling Matt to take Glee simply as a comedy and it ought to be reviewed differently. I don't exactly get what that argument means because even the best comedies, such as Modern Family or The Office, don't lack in the continuity or logic department.
Honestly, I watch Glee only for the tunes now while frequently rolling my eyes during any non-singing moment. This show is almost a joke now. It really just is not what it used to be anymore.

This show is getting sillier by the episode. It's one thing for a show to be about fun and uplifting people, but it's a completely different thing to have to suspend disbelief completely in order to watch the show. Will being allowed to teach Spanish so long without knowing the difference between "muy" and "mas"...these sorts of things wouldn't happen in a real school, no matter how bad the state of education is in any public school district across the country.
I just wish Glee would treat its audience a little more intelligently. Kudos to Matt for being an honest reviewer each week, because it would be an absolute shame if Ryan Murphy & co. kept getting away with these horrible storylines.

OK, let's face it--if Ricky Martin wasn't guest-starring, the ep would have flopped completely, but ooooooooooooo child....I needed a cigarette and a cold shower after Ricky's scenes. :-)
I suppose the ep had its moments ("A baby?!!! With whose vagina?!?!?"; pamphlet entitled "Please don't hog my fiancee's nog"; the twist in Emma getting the tenured position), but they were few and far between.
As for Nene, she can go now. Her diatribe last night was RI-DONK-ULOUSLY over-the-top--must we be subjected to "the real PE teacher of Lima"?

the only things that I enjoyed about this episode was, La Isla bonita and as will the choreography that Nene's had put together it was kinda funny and she slowly overthrows Sue from my ONCE BEST CHARACTERS IN GLEE ... And what is Rory still doing there I mean if I was Damian I would be long gone from Glee 'coz It gives him Nothing but crap... I mean what's with the non-sence... Mercedes/Sam/Shane love triangle? Shuester that been teaching Spanish for who knows how long and doesn't even know how to speak the language ? Sue wanting a baby while she is OLD if she wants a baby she can adopt one... Still, I kinda liked Kurts pepe talk even f like you said the staff didn't give us a glimse from there current relationship ? I'll try to watch the ext episode hoping that it will remind me of why I liked the serie in the first place

Bit disappointed Sue has finally acknowledged she is older than her 20s (harvesting her eggs in the 70s), quite liked her deluding herself she was younger.
Am amazed that considering I have no idea who she is outside of the show the swim coach is fast become the best written character (dialogue-wise).
Am also amazed that considering it used to be that if the plot was bad you always had a decent song per episode to distract you, now the songs are the worst part (actually IN the show, listening WITHOUT seeing the cheesiness or highly choreographed nonsense posing as spontaneous, unrehearsed jollity can still be enjoyable every now and then). I hate this busting into song for no reason and being so polished, it's so 'High School Musical' (and I DON'T mean that as a compliment).
