Glee: Let's talk about sex, baby (or "Celibacy, ladies! Dig it!")

Hola amigos! After a one week hiatus Glee came back last night and I don’t know if it was the “Bee’s Knee’s” per se, but it definitely was about the birds and the bees! (Ba-dum-ching! I’m here all week folks!)

Yay! My "bff" Gwynnie is back as the carefree Ms. Holly Holiday! AWE-SOME! She comes back to sub as the Sex Ed teacher and it seems she’s come back just in time! She informs Mr. Schue that perhaps his Glee kids are not so informed on the subject of Teen Sex. (ie. Finn:“Cucumbers give you AIDS?” Mercedes: “I just had some in my salad!” and Brittany thinking she was prego because a stork set up a nest outside her window. Oh, honey.) Holly asks Will if she can “hide the vegetables” (Ba-dum-ching!) as per Jessica Seinfeld’s cookbook, by singing (instead of lecturing) about it, during a hilarious Jazzercise class, where she also utters a great line: “That’s a waste of some fine man butt”.

I enjoyed her first song “Do You Wanna Touch Me” because it was kind of like the same opening energy as “Forget You” (though, dare I say, not as much pizzazz? Perhaps I’m biased because I SO LOVED her first episode on Glee that nothing else can quite compare to it?! Probably.) It was good nonetheless and I thought Mr. Schu’s “Too much?” sign was subtle and funny.

Later the Warblers sing “Animal” to some private school girls to check their “swoon quotient”. Eh, it was not that great, but I have to say the performance (for me at least) was saved by Kurt’s awesomely awful “sex faces”. Apparently Blaine notices these facial contortions as well and finds out that on the subject of sex, Kurt does not want to talk about it. Blaine goes to talk to Mr. Hummel (I LOVE Burt Hummel!) who gives Kurt (and us) the uncomfortable, but strangely comforting? “sex talk” that we wish all our parents had the courage to give us. (Well maybe not “wish” our parents had given to us…I’m just sayin – it was a good talk). Again, can I just say how much I adore Kurt’s dad and his relationship with Kurt. It’s just so full of love and understanding. Beautiful!

Speaking of beautiful – the trio of Santana, Holly and Brittany singing “Landslide” was just that! It was a gorgeous simple song (a song, I must say, I never really liked until now). It made me melancholy and sad and Santana(!) made me cry too! (BTW, loved her 70’s boho chic outfit, which I plan to bite and sport this spring. I just need me some brown suede platform clogs...) But wait, Santana’s gay now? Eh, Okay. Even though I was slightly surprised about this turn of events (I always thought the Santana/Brittany lady kisses were just “for fun” or at least for the benefit of boy fantasies everywhere) I thought her sexual confusion and fear of being “labeled” were quite realistic (see Scary Football bully guy) and her proclaiming her love for Brittany but being rejected (as sweetly as possible, on Brittany’s part) broke my heart as well…sniffle.

Also, “Kiss” as a tango? Eh, I’ll buy it. I’m also glad to know that perhaps we will be seeing Holly at least one more time (?) as they left us with the possibility of a romance with her and Will. Though Emma’s admission that she still may have feelings for the Schue-ster may complicate things…well, technically I guess, it’s already complicated.

So this week, Zices tells us (and Puck) that she wants to become famous a la Kim Kardashian and as such decides that she wants to make a sex tape. (What happened to “taking it slow”?!) After, Holly informs them that making and owning such a thing constitutes as child porn and they could get arrested, a responsible Puck actually thinks (with his actual head) about the consequences and tells Lauren so! And even though she calls him a nerd, he sticks by his decision. But just when you think he’s become too good, he says this line which I seriously LOL’d on: “ I like you Lauren. I like wooing you. Next to dropping my afternoon deuce, it’s the best part of my day.” And just like that, Puck is back to being Puck and all is right with the world.

I’m irritated about the Quinn/Finn reuniting thing. I hate to say it, but Finn is a hypocrite (though he is a FINE lookin one) Come on, he was so hurt about Rachel “cheating” (I want to say “they were on a break!”) and now he’s all kissy-kissy, hickey-hickey with Quinn?? Uh…nuh. I like the Quinn-Sam pairing better and the Finn-Rachel pairing even better (it gives one hope that the popular quarterback can still love the unpopular, nerdy girl). Why did they build us up to that, if they were just gonna end it just like that? BOO.

And speaking of ending…is this the last of the Stamos?? Say it isn’t so!! Every week we’ve been hoping for the return of the sexy Dr. Carl and now, finally an episode entitled “Sexy” and we get him singing “Afternoon Delight”? I mean, sure it was hilariously over the top and I did think the big screen shots of desserts (“A nooner is when you have dessert in the middle of the day, right?!” ) were perfect AND the outfits were totally Partridge family/hootenanny worthy, but come on! Uncle Jesse deserves better than this! He was under-utilized AND misused. And really, Emma? You haven’t consummated your 4-month marriage yet? Have you LOOKED at him?! I guess running the celibacy club was more realistic than we thought. She must be wearing those charms herself.

Next week: The return of Queen Quinn and Regionals!

And now….as Holly would say “If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to have some crazy sex, because I’m crazy informed!” (Just kidding! This is a family friendly blog, kids!)

Adios until next time...
