I really enjoyed this show. It definitely fixed what I missed in the last episode. It brought back Sue, it had hilarious moments, it had a good group performance, and it gave minor characters more exposure. It did have those slow moments and also there was almost no story. Not much happened in this show. Basically Will wants Emma back and has the glee club put on The Rocky Horror Show. It wasn't deep at all. It definitely didn't intrigue me. That was the major disappointment of the show.
Now it isn't fair for me to compare this show to the original since I have never seen it. I've heard that it was much different from the original and they took out a lot of good parts and made some interesting decisions. However, nothing in Glee's repertoire is original. They are all covers. However, if Glee didn't put their own spin on the songs, it wouldn't be as enjoyable. So I expected t to be different. But since I haven't seen the original, I can't compare the episode to it.
The music was good. Not like "Auditions," but good. I enjoyed Mercedes's song (then again, I'm biased for high belters), and I enjoyed the song Carl (John Stamos) had. I'm glad he got his own song. Time warp was pretty good. However, since I'm familiar with this song, they took some liberties that I didn't agree with. Quinn's part wasn't as menacing and rough as it should have been. It sounded plain. And it was weird that Rachael and Finn were performing when in the original, they were supposed to be fearfully watching from afar. Kurt was great in this. He looked the part and had that creepy low voice (however, the high rock parts were given the Finn...yay).
It was pretty interesting how the characters were portrayed in this one. Rachael is becoming more less of an important character. She hasn't had much air time since the second episode. Sam is like "The situation" of glee. His obsession with his abs and the way he looks makes him seem a little douchey. Will was written as the antagonist in this episode. Putting his students on the line and using them just so he can have Emma back seemed rather low. Emma is becoming more normal, which is sad because her "Monk" ways were very humorous in the past.
The best part of this episode was the comedy. Sue's corner was hilarious. Her delivery of her punch lines are unprecedented. Sue never really bores us. I can't think of a time that has happened, which is why I didn't enjoy the wirters leaving her out last episode. But the funniest moment was definitely the mentally handicap girl's line to Mr. Schuester. "Give me some chocolate or I will cut you!" I was watching the episode with a bunch of my friends, and not one person kept silent. Most of us quickly went to our Facebook and made it our status. About 10 seconds after I posted it, about 12 of my friends "liked" it.
So that's what I thought of the show. Ok music, bad story, but fantastic humor. Best humor of the season. I can't believe we have to wait ANOTHER 2 weeks for the next episode. That's really annoying. Anyway, til next time.

P.S. If anyone is reading this from hawken, did you notice the "Rent" shout out? Kurt said something like some high school had to cancel "Rent" because it was too risque. HPS!!!!
