TV Review: Glee - "Naked" - Page 5

Part of: Gleekonomics

Lastly, Finn fights back against Sue's (Jane Lynch) bullying, tricking her into admitting she once posed nude in a magazine. That in of itself ventures into hokey territory, especially when Sue thinks that she can destroy all the evidence in a digital age. Good thing for her, Finn doesn't seem remember that the internet exists, either.

That being said, I get the impression that Sue is slyly pushing Finn into being a better teacher, not just being mean for no reason, and if that turns out to be the case, I'm glad she's around for him. She won't ever admit it, of course, but I sense that she's starting to treat Finn as a colleague and worthy opponent, the same way she treats Will (Matthew Morrison). That's a good sign.

"Naked" is not Glee's best outing, but if there was an award form Most Improved episode from beginning to end, it would win it. There are some important issues brought up, some great character moments, and some fantastic musical numbers. Overall, I'd give it a solid B+.

Glee airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.

    I can't believe that in order for ND to win the make it so the warblers cheated, way not make it so another group cheated. The guys who play the warblers don't get enough credit, this show really has gone down hill, now The Almighty Johnsons now that's a brilliant show.

    You're right, I didn't like when the episode started, it seemed so crazy and unbelievable. I really "hated" when Lord Tubbington was using the computer. It was so unreal. And yes, the epidose was better throught the hour.

    So yeah that mash-up of "Hot In Herre" with "Angel is the Centerfold" was awesome. Perfectly ridiculous choreography to fit with this whacky mash-up but it turned out to be catchy too

    Maybe Pharrell should produce a new J. Geils Band track because seriously this mash up made for an awesome song.
