thoughts on Glee: "Prom Queen"

I will preface my comments by saying that I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. Most of the songs were good, especially Rachel and Jesse's take on "Rolling in the Deep," and Sue and Artie's "torture" scenes were really funny: "You didn't spike the punch?" "No, I did." "With alcohol?" "Oh. No, then." And until all hell started breaking loose, their prom actually looked really fun.

That all said...I *do not* understand their school. Um, a bunch of jerks think it would be funny to write in Kurt as prom queen and Figgins...announces him as the winner? Wouldn't he just give it to the second place person? Or did he not realize Kurt would be embarrassed by that? And the glee club is supposedly so unpopular that *no one* shows up at their benefit concert and people throw stuff at them when they try to go Christmas caroling, yet everyone seems perfectly happy that they're the prom band? Just-- if they're going to have episodes like this, where everyone clearly enjoys watching the glee club sing, they need to never do another episode about how the glee kids are supposedly the biggest losers in school. They're clearly not.

Okay. So other than the stuff that made no sense, or would never, ever happen, it was a fun episode. Finn and Jesse get into a shoving match on the dance floor! Quinn slaps Rachel in the face! Prom! Whoo!
