Glee Review: Episode 5

Well, I've decided to do a weekly review of the TV Series Glee.

Glee has become an obsession.
It hits me in all the emotions that a human can have.
After watching last weeks episode (Episode 5) I am just blown away.

Summary:
In this Episode "Never Been Kissed" features Puck back from Juvenile hall and has to do community service. He chooses to help Artie, a fellow classmate who is in a wheel chair.
Puck shows Artie a few tips of "being cool" and surprisingly become somewhat friends.
Also featured in "Never Been Kissed" you constantly see Kurt, an openly gay student, get constantly harrassed by a fellow student. Kurt seeks help at an all boys school to find where he belongs. He meets a student that is also openly gay, and he tells Kurt that he needs to stand up to the bully. Kurt, having enough of being pushed into lockers, follows the bully to the locker room and confronts him. The bully threatening to punch Kurt, Kurt continues to scream in the bullies face having enough, surprisingly the bully stops and kisses Kurt. HOLY SHIT KURT AND ANOTHER BOY KISSING... whoa whoa. Back the trolly up. Yes, Kurt's constant harrasser turns out to be Gay, kisses Kurt, Kurt pushes him away, and the bully punches the locker and storms out obviously scared and confused. Kurt stands alone in the locker room. After seeing that scene reminded me why I watch Glee over and over again. They bring real life situations, and problems that occure in ever high school and make it really real. It shows all audiences what the world can be like. I will never get sick of you Glee. NOW, another feature of the episode the boys of Glee club (and Tina) find an interesting way to "cool off" when in a make out session. They think about their Coach Beast. Now, Coach Beast is a very manish looking woman and comes off very intimidating for a woman. She ends up finding out about the boys "cool off" and ends up quitting. Mr. Shuester has himself in quite the pickle.

Review:
I highly reccommend everyone take an hour of their time and watch "Never Been Kissed". It hit me in a place that I never though a TV series could ever do. Homophobes are everywhere and this episode just might explain some of them away. Also, the feeling of feeling different is very prone in this episode and it hits home for sure. When you are different or an "outcast" it's hard to feel like anyone really cares about you. Not only gay people, but disabled people, or people that make some mistakes. Everyone should be equal and this episode bleeds that message. If you hate the show, or never have seen it please just take the time to watch this one episode, I think it'll change a lot of people. Thanks.


I give this episode rating of 4.5 Stars out of 5.
