Here's the thing with Glee: First it takes you up, up, up, and then it drives you down, down, down. Like last night's first of two episodes, "Props," which has to be one of its best episodes ever – well-written, tightly plotted, interesting, moving, and featuring some amazing performances – that was followed by an episode so uninspired I wish I could just sum it up by saying, "And then they won Nationals."
