Kudo's to Choke:

Glee has continued to have it's ups and downs this season. When down, the hour can be a painful one, when up, it can be the best hour of television of the week. I thought this week's episode, Choke was, thus far, the best episode of the season.

Dot Marie Jones as Shannon Beiste is a 'breath of fresh air' as far as television characters go. Sadly, the producers have not used her much lately. The show has a nasty habit of pushing some really great characters like Shannon and Emma, not to mention Tina and Mike to the sidelines far far to often. Although a Tina centred episode is coming soon, their treatment of certain characters is moving from annoying to almost mean spirited. Beiste was the perfect character to have your audience feel for. Although so inappropriate, I begrudgingly admit to loving the one liners that came from NeNe Leakes.



The countdown to graduation has been on for this show since last year. Ryan Murphy continues to show up every time a microphone is present and instead of learning from the past, cannot seem to stop himself from putting his foot in his mouth.



Rumors do indicate a cast member or two will be leaving at the end of the season, but who knows. The shows star has moved this season from Lea and Chris to Darren Criss. Although I have not counted, he seems to be getting a fair share of the songs. I love Darren but why this show cannot find a way of sharing the spotlight over a 20 plus season is beyond me. Even powerhouse Amber Riley is only trotted out to sing on occasion then pushed to the background with the Irishman and the Chang's. Personally two of my favorites, Diana (already spoiled by Lynch) and Harry sadly, along with Mark, seem the most at risk.
