Glee, Preggers

I continue to be entertained by Glee, and this week, we were on the upswing.
The episode with Kurt dancing in his basement, in the most flaming black unitard, when his dad walked in. In past episodes, his father has been harsh about things like his tiara collection, so no surprise when Kurt and his two friends try to explain themselves. How do they do this? Why, Kurt is warming up as he is on the football team. Riiiight.
But this proved to be a delightful theme - dancing football stars. They learn to dance, they learn to have fun, and they finally win a game. Plus, a couple members liked it so much they joined Glee and now have the 12 dancers needed for regionals...almost.
Because we couldn't have an episode without drama between Will and Rachel. He gave Tina the solo she wanted, and eventually she quit to go be the star in Cabaret. Why the school needs a Glee club and a musical, I do not know. I would think they'd combine the two, since they seem to lack the money to do much else...but let's not look too closely at these things.
Also, Quinn is pregnant. Not by Finn, of course, but by Puck. So she's not going to be dancing or cheering for much longer. This, of course, is the perfect example of why chastity clubs can be a problem. I mean, fine she was feeling fat one day, so she slept with a guy...happens far too often to mention, but in this case they clearly didn't use protection. Grrrr. Though she's exactly what Terri needs since she still refuses to tell Will she isn't pregnant. Finn is being a man about it, but Puck is really pissed. He would be there for his kid if she let him. We'll see where that goes.
And the episode ended with the greatest father/son conversation. Kurt confesses he's gay, and his dad tells him he's known since the boy was three when all he wanted for his birthday was a pair of sensible heals. Oh Kurt...there's nothing wrong with being gay, and if you weren't...well let's just say that it's best that you know it.
Also, Sue's new tv show is very funny. Her no-nonsense, cane our children, litter to give garbage men jobs is just the kind of thing we need to hear every once in a while. Particularly when we know the show is fictional, as is Sue.
