Glee - Third Season Musings

I've had mixed feelings about this season's Glee.  Some of the musical numbers have been amazing, but the stories are getting more and more ridiculous.  I especially dislike the whole Quinn trying to get her baby back and Puck and Shelby hooking up.  The most disturbing thing about Puck and Shelby is that it does not look as wrong as it should have been, because Mark Salling really looks 30, not 18.  I haven't been compelled to get any of the music, yet.

On the other hand, there are episodes like "Asian F" and "The First Time" that redeems the show a bit more.  I thought "The First Time" did a great and realistic job on handling the subject of teenage sex, although I wish we had seen the entire West Side Story performance, and I was happy to see Harry Shum, Jr. got the spotlight in "Asian F."

This week's episode has some amazing musical numbers, especially the ending Adele mash-up.  I really hope the group will get together again soon.  Having them split up feels very disjointed, which I guess is the intent, but Glee is always strongest when all of them are together.
