Glee - "Everybody loves disco"

Tonight's highly anticipated season premiere of Glee did not disappoint; It was worth the wait. The episode only made me more excited for the show. I hope you were as pleased as I was following tonight's exciting episode. Here is a short synopsis of what happened for those who missed it:

The glee club needs 12 members to be able to compete at regionals and they need to place at regionals so that they are not disbanded as a student group. So, they need to recruit six more students. To do this the six original members are performing at an assembly as a way to gain interest. Will pushes the members to perform a disco song even though the kids know they will be made fun of for not being hip, and in the end Rachel helps the club put together a new performance - one where it is all about sex. Their performance is hysterical, yet offensive, and the students love it. The principal is now showing support for the glee club since the student body hasn't been so excited about something like this in a while. Glee club is on its way to being great.

Some other things I would like to point out:

1) Will's wife is so awful. He is much too wonderful to be with her. I cringe during her scenes.
2) The scene between Rachel and Emma in the guidance counselor office was way too funny.
3) I loved when Sue Sylvester referred to glee club as the island of misfit toys.
4) I think the hysterical pregnancy storyline - and all of the lies that are sure to come from it - works perfectly with the soap opera side of the show.
5) I love that the "cheerios" are going to try to bring down glee from within.
