Glee - The Rhodes Not Taken, or I Hate Kristin Chenoweth

Really, the title says it all. I don't know if it's her abrasive voice, pixie-like stature, or gratingly upbeat demeanor, but I can't stand most things that involve Kristin Chenoweth. However, she did redeem herself during the "bad choices" montage, where she taught boozing, shoplifting, and the wonders of casual sex to her fellow glee-clubbers, mostly because the montage music was "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall and Oates. It's a personal favorite, so really, the Chenoweth had little to do with it.

ANYWAY, this week, we saw Finn come out of his one-dimensional, "Hey, guys, I'm a really nice, good looking person," mold and do some old school manipulation. While I was horrified, I was also glad that Finn gets to do things beside look pretty. Finn used his man-powers to lure Rachel back into New Directions, but was foiled when everyone found out Quinn is pregnant, and Rachel found out she was being manipulated. But, she came back anyway, after figuring out that being a star isn't as important or fulfilling as being a good friend. Meh, unconvincing, but they did an awesome rendition of "Somebody to Love", so all is forgiven.

I'm obviously biased against the Chenoweth, but this was an okay episode. The plot line was thin (Will brings back an old high school flame to replace Rachel's voice in the Glee club? Even though she's a boozing, pill popping loser? Doubtful), and was purely a showcase for Chenoweth to sing everyone else off the stage, so that got old after a bit. But it will be interesting to see what happens now that the truth (well, part of it) is out about Quinn.
