Finally got to watch it and all I can really say is....
WTH was that? I definately agree with PG that this one makes the Brittany episode look like Emmy material.
And, before I say this... please understand that not only do I think that Mercedes has a awesome voice, and the choir was terrific but it's the treatment on one of my all time favorite songs (Bridge over troubled waters) makes me start to taste vomit in my mouth. Yes, it was sung well, but the arrangment was POOR, it is kinda like taking a bar of gold and turning it into lead...
I don't know where TPTB are going with this show, but the ratings have been off the chart. So someone is watching. It just isn't the same people who followed it from the very beginning.
It's like TPTB have completely abandond any type of overall story arc, and are just going to a per episode 'shock' factor. They need to get back to the balance of both.
And... and BTW... Artie and his wheel chair on the football field... C'Mon people!!!! IMHO that was rediculous

.
I know the show is not supposed to be serious, but that was too much for me...
