Glee. Season 1, Episode 20: Theatricality

It actually surprised me that all the girls in Glee cannot come to par with the original version featuring solo Lady Gaga. I say that and I'm not even a Lady Gaga fanatic. They looked like high schoolers dancing in a lousy high school auditorium. Oh, wait. They are. Anyhow, Idina Menzel and mini-Idina Menzel's version of "Poker Face" on the other hand was so enthralling. Song numbers aside, this episode was so fragmented, I was having a hard time figuring out what it wants to focus on. And I still hate the we're-all-so-happy laugh in the end. Yuck. However, this episode also holds the gem that is Kurt's dad. I can't believe Glee made me cry. Kurt's dad should be given the BEST FATHER AWARD. How the biological mother story ended should also be given five stars credit. As well as the good pianist joke. Glee should realize it should stick to its surreality to be a good show.
