WHERE IS PUCK???
After last week's sweet rendition of "Only the Good Die Young," I was thankful Puck was given his due on Glee. But, false alarm, it may have been his swan song. Puck was sent to juve, as most juvenile delinquents are. This brings up the important question: What's happening to Noah
Puckerman. According to imdb.com, Mark Salling is listed for the 2010-2011 season of Glee.
I could not find any news about Salling leaving Glee, other than his second album just coming out (yay!).
On a related note, it was nice to see some of the lesser-sung Glee kids get a chance this week - Mike Chang, Santana, and Quinn - (hasn't sang a stand-along song since she auditioned for Glee club). Strangely, sue Sylvester was not in the episode at all.

A Note About Smelling the Subway
In recent weeks, I've noticed a spike in subway stations being show in TV. My fundamental position is that if you cannot smell the dinginess of the subway - the pee, the homeless people,- then you are not doing your due diligence to your pre-show research.
Blue Bloods- the second episode, which featured a gruesome string of subway murders, looked like a real subway. Ok, so they do actually film in New York, so they have that advantage. But the subway looked like a Subway. A dirty, urine-covered subway. Huzzah!
How I Met Your Mother- In the quintessential "New York" episode, I commend this show, which is not shot in New York (its outdoor streets are fake Hollywood sets) for its real-looking subway. When Lily deciphered the muffled subway conductor's voice, it was a true New York mement. And the subway did not look like it smelled like urine, but it had implications of being a real subway.
Nikita- The NY cat-and-mouse thriller had a subway scene in its second episode, a traditional shootout in the 34th street station. This station was real looking, but way too squeaky clean for Penn station, and it looked nothing like the real station. Props for the real wooden seats!
Covert Affairs- This was in D.C., but the pilot episode ended with another shootout in the subway. It had no implications of urine smell, a way-too-clean subway.

A Note About Faith
In a GLEE episode directed the themes of religion and prayer, it was natural to expect songs such as "Losing My Religion" and "What If God was One of Us" (shout-out to the great show that was Joan of Arcadia). And of course there was the delightful version of Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young," sung by Puck (Mark Salling), who has been pretty quiet this season.
But in a crucial mistake, GLEE missed the most important song of all. Any guesses. Well, if the episode is all about faith, it might be a good idea to include a song by George Michael.
Any guesses now? No, not his delightful Wham! classics :Careless Whisper" or Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Not the sweet songs of "Last Christmas." Not "Freedom" or "Father Figure," although you are guessing closer.
Drum roll please.......
FAITH. Remember Faith? The song was even redone by Limp Bizkit, and is one of the few Fred-Durst songs I can tolerate listening to today. And yes, the verses have little to do with someone being in the hospital, but the central message of the song is "I Gotta Have Faith." Kinda sings to the theme of the show, doesn't it?

A Note About I-Raining....
Again, I cannot believe I'm watching 90210. This epic episode has stolen cheesy plots from everything. and the dialogue?? appalling.
HERE IS THE WORST OF THE EPISODE:
NEWSFLASH: Teddy is gay.
OTH Boy Auction flashback: guys in fire uniforms dancing and being sold off to their classmates. Well, I think they wore basketball uniforms on One Tree hill, but close enough. They looked like they were posing for a 98 degrees poster circa 1999.
Liam has a half-black brother? Please no! No more fake half-siblings allowed.
Adrianna is still selfish? Nothing new here.
Fight in the school! Really? Saved By the Bell.
Teens selling their eggs for money cause mom is broke.
Creepy older women stalking high school boys.
The spread of the HIV.
At least the teacher is still somewhat hot..........
