Hair New Era

The pilot of Glee was better than most movies I’ve seen on similar topics and Fox followed it with an aggressive marketing campaign that seemed to be promising a truly mindblowing series. The following episodes all had funny bits and great song and dance numbers but the plot didn’t seem particularly strong.
This episode (the fourth one) was better than I expected after being disappointed a little with all the previous episodes. But it had its cringeworthy parts like all the versions of the choreography of Single Ladies (from "one of the best videos of ALL TIME"). I mean, the first one was kind of cute, but every following time kept getting more embarrassing. I admit that I know virtually nothing about American football, but was the dancing really necessary? Especially on the field. In front of people.
Quinn and Puck really brought a new dimension to their antagonistic characters and it was straight from the Gossip Girl handbook. The prim and proper mean girl having a pregnancy scare after drunkenly losing her virginity to her perfect boyfriend’s smarmy best friend – that sounds exactly like the first season when the show was still great.
Except being a pregnant teenager is just not an option in the world of GG whilst in this show they luckily happen to be one baby short.
In my opinion, Quinn and Puck really stole this episode, or rather saved it, because Rachel acting out every time someone else gets a few seconds in the spotlight is starting to get really annoying, William’s wife seems to be mentally ill – and not in a cute and funny way – and the romantic storylines between Rachel and Finn, and William and Emma were a bit too forced in the beginning and now seem to have been chucked aside completely.
Fashion-wise, the show isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but there are some characters with noteworthy style. I’ve already mentioned Emma’s cute wardrobe. Quinn, the kind of girl who you’d expect to follow trends keeps walking around the school in her cheerleading outfit (What is up with that, by the way? On Heroes Claire used to wear hers all the time too – in the first season at least, the only one I watched. Is this what cheerleaders really do in American high schools? Why don’t they change their clothes?) But of course, Kurt looks fabulous most of the time. Pictures from gleeimages.com, gossipgirlonline.com
