'GLEE' EPISODE REVIEW: Preggers


 So I decided to ditch the "NEW" part for each review for no reason. I just recently watched the newest Glee episode, Ballad & Hairography and instead of reviewing that, I decided to put the reviews in order so I'll be reviewing the fourth episode, Preggers.

This is where it all happens! The center of all the drama starts here in this episode, where Quinn reveals that she was impregnated. But wait, there's more! (This is also the final episode where the make-up and hair of the cast are ugly) Let's go!
 

First of all, I haven't watched this episode for a long, long time so forgive me if my details are wrong.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The episode kicks-off with the first of many Beyonce songs in the series with Kurt dancing Single Ladies, along with Tina & Brittany. They were also dancing with some girlish outfits, mimicking Beyonce's outfit in the video. Suddenly, his dad walks-in and Brittany explains that it was exercise for football and Kurt's dad says he wants to watch Kurt's game. As sung in the song: Uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-uh-oh-uh-uh-oh
 

Funny stuff and dialogue happens when Finn helps Kurt to get into the football team, and Kurt saying he is auditioning for the role of kicker. In a shocking and weird event, Kurt gets into the team after a great kick after dancing Single Ladies. Wow. After a few scenes, Ken Tanaka, the coach, says that the team should copy Kurt. So, another hilarious scene ensues when Kurt teaches everyone how to dance. Really, really awkward.

During the game, everyone decides that dancing to the Beyonce tune is too gay so they end up not doing it. But, for like, the last ten seconds of the game, Finn tells everybody that they should dance it. And they do. I really couldn't help but laugh at this part. I also loved how Quinn laughing at the football team seemed so natural. The fate of the team lies on Kurt, as he has to kick the ball into the thing.
 

In the final scene of the plot, Kurt finally comes out to his father, who shockingly accepts it. See, I'm not really a fan of these types of scenes (the dramatic kind) but this was touching and I'm glad that the father accepted it, although part of the reason is probably because the Kurt-is-gay plot is finally over. I have nothing against gay people, but it's so obvious he is gay and it looks like everyone in the show knows it, so it was kind of predictable. Still, one of the best scenes of Glee in my opinion. Heart-warming.
 

One of the plots is of course, the (in)famous plot of Quinn getting pregnant. Finn foolishly believes Quinn's story of why she is pregnant even though they didn't do it. In a twist of events, Puck confronts Quinn who is actually the father of Quinn's baby. Finn confronts Will for help and Will tells Terri about this. In another twist and the most infamous plot of the show, Terri decides to confront Quinn to give her the baby. Yikes. Really, this is such an unexpected and just plain bad scene.
 

Another plot is Sue becoming a local celebrity when she gets a segment on the news called, "Sue's Corner" where it's all about being a champion. When a station manager approaches her saying that the Cheerios should win the finals and that they're too distracted in glee club, Sue decides to approach Sandy and they form a pact to destroy glee club. This team: hilarious! Seriously, they have a lot of chemistry going on.
 

Will decides to give Tina the solo, and Rachel is obviously upset. Rachel thinks that Will is trying to destroy her career. Sue and Sandy's plan comes into play when Rachel is lured into the school play, and she becomes the lead. Tina sings a wonderful rendition of the song, and in the end, she says that Will should give the solo to Rachel instead. In the end, Will gives the solo to Tina, and being the person she is, Rachel quits the glee club and is solely focused on the school play. With everything going on, I thought that this plot wasn't much focused on but it was fine. I'm just glad Tina got a solo.
 

*FINAL VERDICT*
 

I thought that this episode was so-so, and nothing really developed here, except for some things. It was also all so confusing with so many things and plots going on. There were lots of funny moments in the episode, usually involving Sue and Sandy. Those two just crack me up. One thing that also sucked was that there wasn't enough songs sung by the kids to keep me entertained. I mean, this is a musical dramedy right? The final score of Preggers is...

FINAL SCORE

7.7

Final Thought: It was just so-so.
 

I hope you enjoyed this review. I had to rush thru the ending because I need some sleep! It's 12:45 AM here. Goodbye!~ (Picture from TV.com & FOX)
