GLEE Season 2 "Grilled Cheesus"

Holy Religious Uprising, Batman!  So ummmma.... this episode could've severely blown up in the faces of GLEE's producers and possibly the FOX network.  In any venue, having to tackle anything remotely involved in Sex, Politics or Religion tends to get people to shut down completely unless your points of view on the subject run completely parallel to their own.  And let's be honest, when exactly was the last time you saw eye to eye with anyone?  Still, GLEE managed to navigate their way thru many awkward moments resting a lot of the blame on the idiosyncrasies in the character's personalities.  I mean.... come on, Finn found Jesus in his George Foreman Grill created grilled cheese sandwich.  You almost needed to suck in your religious stomach the entire episode to prep for a punch to the gut.

Puck, played by the smoldering Mark Salling, performing Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young".  Puck is never hotter than when he has that guitar strapped to him.  One must wonder which of the Glee Club is giving him the eye though.  You can feel the sexual tension coming off of none other than....

... Mike Chang!  Who else?  My love for Harry Shum Jr grows with every episode.  Plus, he's wearing my favorite color, green.  In my head, I've decided he's told the show's producers that he needs to give a subtle shout-out to me by sporting that color on the show.

STAND OUT PERFORMANCE

Was I the only one in tears for Kurt Hummel's, played by Chris Colfer, dedication to his father?  His version of the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was heart-wrenching.  Kurt performed this to the glee club while flashbacks of the awesome love his father has for him, race across his mind.  Best. Tea Party. EVER!  I've honestly never been a fan of Kurt on the show, despite popular opinion, but you cannot ignore the emotional depth of his performance here.  It didn't even feel acted or forced.  It felt like it came from somewhere very real.
