Glee Season Premiere

Glee S4 E1 "The New Rachel" - Start of the Fall season is underway! Glee is back and things are most certainly different at McKinley High.  A ton of new faces and I hope the old faces will be returning soon as well because it is just plain weird with the new people.  I really enjoyed Kate Hudson's role in playing the cruel dance teacher at NYADA and I am thoroughly impressed at how Glee can attract lots of A-list celebrities to guest star (i.e. Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and soon SJP).  For once, Glee is part of the popular clique after winning Nationals, but of course it doesn't last that long and the group of misfits are back to their usual spot...at the bottom of the high school food chain.  Of course, some of the remaining members are fighting for the "Rachel Berry" position on Glee so they have a sing-off of "Call Me Maybe"...wasn't that impressed and I think they could have made it a lot better.  There is a new member in Glee and I think a new addition will occur in the form of Puckerman's half-brother.  Rachel is struggling in NYC without her normal support system, but has an amazing performance of "New York State of Mind" in class.  She seems to have piqued the interest of a fellow NYADA student who isn't that bad on the eyes.  I wonder...is a love triangle in the mix?  Finally, Kurt joins her in NYC and hopefully things will be turning around for the both of them soon.  Overall, it was an alright episode to the start of the season.  I keep wondering how they plan on reuniting everyone...Finn, Santana, Puckerman, Quinn, Mercedes, Mike...I mean I assume they are coming back, right?  Because, Glee would most definitely not be the same without them! -Cyn
