Another review which caught my attention

Average but story is moving
To me this seemed like a pretty average episode without anything particularly good or bad of note to talk about. Still, I like that the story is getting some legs. Big-ish things happened in this episode—no more spying between the Powells and King, King has someone above him, Stephanie gets…
Only okay
It seems to me that the writers just weren't TRYING on this episode. The PotW-story was rote, and, I don't know, nothing really HAPPENED. House is just being House, and everyone else is just being who they always are. Meh…
Funny episode but that's it
I agree with the reviewer in that this was a very funny episode. But, I don't know, man… who was is it that said that a story is only as good as its villains? To me, the two villains of this episode—Gjokaj and Chang—seemed so beyond evil that I found myself totally detached from the…
idk
I agree mostly with the reviewer. When the show does an episode with a centralized theme and real emotional pulls, it does alright. Sometimes it even does great. But because the show is so inconsistent, when the show focuses heavily on its mandatory season-long plots, it just falls apart, and there's nothing…
Good in its sadness
The idea that someone is lonely is pretty sad, but the idea that someone is lonely and there's no helping it so let's all just accept it is even sadder, and it's this deterministic sense of sadness that made me really like this episode. Like, for example, the ending. The pure joy in Laurie's face…
Meh…
Average episode. Nothing special.
Surprisingly good
One thing I think a lot of people don't give the show credit for is how well, at its best, it can juggle a whole lot of elements and tie them off neatly together within a single episode: all the narratives in this story were thematically related and in small ways they all bounced off of and affected…
Fun episode
Yeah, this show is full of stupidity, but it's a fun, dorky sort of stupidity. The whole true luf thing, for example. But the show KNOWS it's stupid, just chooses to go with it anyway. Makes me smile, really. Stupid, comic-book fun for the sake of stupid, comic-book fun.
Lazy
I agree with the reviewer. This episode just seemed lazy. Nothing special. Completely by the standard House formula. Wasn't even funny or particularly dramatic. The death of the PoTW didn't emotionally jolt me, and a death of a PoTW usually does. Blech…
Too easy
I dunno… the jokes were too easy, in my opinion, and I don't think I laughed very much. That, and the story seemed, to me, forced.
Yeah, I thought that was weird too, and I find it suspicious that, not knowing much, Daphne's boyfriend would so quickly and willingly inject Daphne's boyfriend's father with the serum… green glowy stuff look dangerous and stuff.
Just plain fun
This episode was just plain fun. Like, off-the-walls, forced, and cheesy, but in the end still fun, and I think that's all Glee is trying to do. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Not gratitously bad
I thought the Social Network-esque narrative structure was nice, and I liked the pacing and the elaborateness of the story. Sure, it wasn't a "good" story, but the writers could have really mucked it all up, but they didn't, and, hey, at least they were trying… this episode was bad, but at least it…
Weird in a good way
I laughed quite a lot during this episode, but always felt a little wrong doing so, because the episode seemed, to me, very very sad. It was weird, and really really good in that way.
Didn't watch this show but…
…I clicked because of the "D-" rating.
