#PINK HOUSES GLEE SERIES#
And it's interesting to look at the series in that light – that in circumstances where mainstream articles are still published encouraging some kind of 1950s attitude to hiding sexuality (you can read Newsweek's follow-up to this article here) then actually, perhaps the scenes between Kurt and his dad are worth having just as often as they want to film them. And, of course, about Kurt and his dad, whose scene of mutual respect and love without reservation or prejudice proved to be a very touching (if somewhat similar to the last one of its type).Ĭoverage of this episode in the US was eclipsed by an article in Newsweek that discussed whether openly gay actors can be trusted to portray hetrosexual relationships – with particular reference to Jonathan Groff as Jesse St James. I still tend to believe that every week would be improved with a touch of last Monday's brilliantly cheese-filled soundtrack, but it was good to be reminded that Glee remains a show about teenagers and hormones and high schools. The episode seems stronger for being about the Glee Club members than being too much caught up in big names and fleeting cameos. For Mercedes, that means a song-battle with Santana over Puck, while Kurt, still sore about his dad's easy relationship with Finn, attempts to butch up with John Mellencamp – setting up yet another touching "I love you because you're you" scene between father and son. In other news, Rachel discovers that others in the Glee Club aren't pulling their weight, vocally, and are relying on autotune - no, wait, sorry, that other people are relying on "miming", so for homework Mr Shue asks them to pick solos that honestly represent them. Most likely for as short a period as the rest. When his mohican gets shaved off in a scare at the dermatologist, Puck also finds himself shorn of his power to intimidate and impress the school ("You know, like that dude who lost his hair and his all power" "Samson?" "No, Agassi") Deciding that his only way back to popularity is to be part of a power couple, he hits on Mercedes – suddenly alpha-female cheerio – and they become the newest Glee Club pairing.
