Glee Season One Episode 7: Throwdown

This week’s episode of Glee was all about tension. Tension between Sue and Will, tension between Finn and Quinn as they comes to terms with Quinn’s pregnancy and tension between the glee club as they debate what music they want to play.

The rift between Sue and Will, the new co-chairs of the glee club, sets the stage for some hilarious one-liners form Sue, who may be the best character on network TV right now. In an attempt to win over the club, Will asked what they wanted to sing. So Mercedes requests, “something a little more black.” which was immediately vetoed by Rachel who responded, ”It’s glee club not crunk club.” Quinn reported back to Sue that the “minorities” weren’t feeling like their needs were being met so Sue split the club up into two teams and of course took all of the minority students into what she called a ”special elite glee club called Sue’s Kids.” Her roll call for the group: ”Santana. Wheels. Gay Kid. Asian. Other Asian. Aretha. Shaft.”
