Good episode - keeping up the standard

I wasn't sure where to put this: I almost added it as a Trivia entry, since it was triggered by someone complaining in the Trivia section that there is no such place as Six Flags, Ohio. If the authors had chosen to set the programme in Kidney, Ohio or Mung, Ohio (instead of Lima, Ohio), they wouldn't have people complaining in the Trivia section that Six Flags, Ohio doesn't exist. (Well, OK, they might: people are so thick!) Come on guys... this is FICTION! None of it actually exists! Some episodes back you saw Olivia Newton John on the screen being really nasty - that was not actually her character: it was a character the scriptwriters asked her to portray. I'm afraid that the whole character of Brittany suddenly becomes much more believable. Her naïve, unquestioning acceptance of Santa Claus and leprechauns seemed improbable on viewing, but here we have real live viewers who are upset when the notions of their fictional framework come into contact with real life and don't match. There's nowt so strange as folk! Of course, there are other questions around the plot. Like, why is Sue Sylvester not in jail, having knocked down the Lieutenant Governor's wife on stage at the public award ceremony for the Sectional competition, quite apart from her history of violent behaviour on being thwarted in the school. Irritations include that for much of the world, research is needed to find out what the phrase "Senior Ditch Day" might mean.

The tone is changing.

I feel like they believe we should have low expectations by this point, and some of these episodes have been really great, more than I would expect from a comedy, but this episode felt very much kids incorporated like. The acting felt contrived, And sometimes it does during this show, but this whole episode felt like that with very few exceptions. I know to some degree, the level of acting was lowered by the Glee club casting show. The entrance of those three characters, while I loved them during the other show, their entrance into this show just felt pushed. It was just weird, They obviously weren't actors, and I'm still delighted by their entrance after having watched the show, but it made it silly. This episode and the next episode I'll have that tone. Finn, Joe, unique, interesting character lines, cheesy in a fitting kind of way, But just not to the level of acting that the rest of the cast is. they're great for what they are, they haven't probably had the kind of training for actual acting that they have for singing, but there is a good level of acting on this cast and these guys are new to it. The next episode was a little bit better, but this one just was silly, and forced. Most of the parts with Becky were wonderful, Sue Sylvester acting like this, hormones are not, it's weird, it's like she's been taken over by an alien or something like who the hell is this, and I've been pregnant, it wasn't like that. This is just weird and silly and just doesn't make any sense and it doesn't go with the flow of the timeline I really don't like this entire storyline. I feel like we've just taken our ride off a cliff and I hope we land at some point and get back on the rail of where this show was going, cuz some of these storylines are just weird.
