A less than gleeful episode

The funk episode of "Glee" hurt my ears and my soul.

Usually, the music salvages the sub-par plot, or at least the choreography does. Not tonight. I was left wanting more drama and less of the soul-less, excruciatingly painful funk that they tried to pull off. If I were Shelby Corcoran I would sleep well. Will Schuester and his brothel of women/problems is no threat to you.

To start, I don't know where Mercedes gets off a) laughing at Quinn wanting to get funky because she's white and pregnant, and b) claiming to be discriminated against. The only time race factors in to Glee is when she calls herself a "steamy mug of hot chocolate" or throws around lines like "Hell to the naw, I'm Beyonce," "Why are we going all vanilla on this song," and "You've never dated a sista before have you?" She's just like Kurt. You either stop flaunting how different you are or grow a pair and deal with it

...But then I saw what white people do to funk and wished they would just leave. Funk is about anger and rhythm, which you can infer black people have both of. Finn Hudson? Tina Cohen-Chang? Not so much. And Quinn's performance with the awful fake baby bumps on the "unwed mothers club" members was a train wreck. White girl, you cannot sing James Brown. Pregnant women, stop shaking your unborn, unexpected and probably unwanted fetuses around.

Sue Sylvester's small presence in these past few episodes made me wonder just what she was up to. And I hoped it would be more than slinging one-liners and trying to one-up the ever-changing Will Schuester. If Will isn't divorcing his wife, he's trying to trick Sue. When he's not trying to be motivational he's making out with the world. And when he's not seeking revenge on Sue he's yelling at the kids for trying to seek revenge on Vocal Adrenaline...all the while being an obnoxious compromiser.

Rachel also annoyed me because of her lack of guts. I would have kicked Jesse in the crotch instead of having a sing-off. Besides, those high socks were NOT funk.

I'm worried that the season finale will have too much to wrap up. Quinn's baby bump, though it disappeared for the Gaga episode, looks bigger than ever. What's up with Will and Emma? Will Terri start meddling again? Are Finn and Rachel going to stop being obnoxious and go out? Will Kurt hit puberty? Can Artie walk now?

And most importantly, who wins regionals?! Hm...
