It was good but not the greatest it could have been. I did really like it though.

I liked parts of it. Deffo the Kurt/Finn/Burt/Carol storyline, and the little bits of Brittana and St. Berry were <3. The only good thing to come out of the Mercedes part was a sweet Quinn/Mercedes scene, and Artie being a slice of cake, but other than that... mreh. Still don't like her.
AND I HATE APRIL.
Plus, besides A House Is Not A Home & Beautiful, the music sucked.

I was ridiculously underwhelmed. It was slightly boring and far too April-focused.

The only parts I liked were Quinn/Mercedes friendship (which is ironic since I'm not a huge fan of either characters), Puck's "Are you gay?", Artie as cake, and every time Jesse and Rachel were on camera.

I saw some scenes here and there on live stream, and didn't like it.

I'll watch it tomorrow again and pick.

I saw the Quinn/Mercedes scene and it was AWWW.
Beautiful was nice. Other than that, the numbers sucked.

Will/April bore me to tears.

I agree wtih mcewen_girl. Puck asking Finn if he's gay cracked me up. Other than that, I was interested in the Kurt/Finn/parents storyline. It looks good.

Other than that, it was forgettable. Not enough WIll/Sue, Will/Emma and even Rachel scenes.

Puck's "are you gay?" and the Quinn/Mercedes scene were the only redeeming thing about the episode, IMO.

The music sucked. Also, waaay too much crying. A show called "Glee" shouldn't have people crying all the way through an episode.

I think the show needs to stop making such a big deal & writing episodes around their guest stars and get back to what it's supposed to be about - the actual cast. That's why they have an audience; people care about these kids, not the random adults who get thrown in just because they're famous.

I liked getting to see my two favorite characters (Finn & Kurt) get some screen time, and I like their parents being together - but I hate that they can't both be happy at the same time. =( And like everyone said, Puck's "are you gay" was probably the best part of the episode. =D

Ditto this completly Dasm Jody, we're on the same page. =D

The music was pretty lame, though I loved April (because she's hilarious, as a character she's so-so) BUT I thought this ep was MUCH better then the last two. The crying was odd, but all the minor characters getting screentime was great. Plus Quinn giving advise to Mercedes and Brittana love = WIN.

I really liked it there have been better episodes but still
And I loved the Mercedes plot i feel so bad for her and i love her and Quinn's friendship
and loved Puck's "are you gay"!

Cheno bored me as usual but I loved the Quinn and Mercedes situation. and Rachel had like 2 lines so i guess thats good xD This week's eppy was ok but I have a feeling its on its way back on track.

hopefully.

I didn't like the music, and I just thought the episode was kind of boring... too much April.


Rachel as a cupcake + Jesse as a hamburger was probably my favorite thing of the episode.

Wow.. this episode was called home? Everything makes so much sense now!!! I thought they were really stressing that.

I was slightly bored. But I liked Quinn and Kurt! And any episode that has people dressed up as food can't be all bad!! ;)

I didn't like it at all. I think that Glee isn't the type of show to have tearjerker moments. The Mercedes/Quinn moment felt forced to me. The music sucked. Will/April was ridiculously boring.
And yes, Puck's ONLY LINE in the entire episode was the only thing I liked.

It was alright. I ALMOST cried.

Puck rocks.

Haven't seen it yet but wow, I think I can wait a few more hours after reading this. LOL.

Edit: Okay, seen it now. I actually liked it, there was way too much April though.
ARTIE CAKE!

recycled plot from any other show. at least that song Will and April was nice. the scene was a bit weird though

I was so bored.

St. Berry Cupcake & Cheeseburger was the best part of the episode. <3

it was okay, but i cried torn between two options...

Too much April scenes and April singing, we already had an episode of that and it was fine, I didn't want another one.

That's my one complaint though.

Kurt was awesome, I loved his singing and I was overwhelmed in the scene where he confronts his dad. And he broke my heart with that sad face near the end ;_;

The Quinn/Mercedes scene was excellent, I loved what Quinn said to Mercedes about taking as much care for herself as her she did for her baby. And I really liked this storyline for Mercedes, she was good in this episode, the resolution kinda lame (with her making a speech ans singing Beautiful, though the singing was great), but still the rest were good character stuff.


I might be the only one here, but I like this comedy/drama combo the show is making, especially because the drama bits are so good (doesn't happen that often in High School kinda dramas).

I LOVED this ep, especially compared to the first two which I thought were pretty crap. It was very much back to the heart of what Glee's about. I loved the Finn/Kurt/parents stuff, I loved Will finally being sad about his marriage ending, I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED the Mercedes/Quinn scene. For me this was just all-around better than the last few eps.

i liked the ep, but...i think they should stop having all the guest stars and themed episodes, essentially to a good show, there is a good plot and cast. Also i miss the funny glee music they have before someone gets a slushie in their fave, like dodododo

I'm sorry to say it, but it was the most boring Glee episode ever ;/ I don't like April, I hope she'll never return to the show again =D And no Puck/Quinn ;/ What's more, the songs were just HORRIBLE. I miss the old Glee. But at least there wasn't too much Rachel drama ;) The only positive side of the episode.

I cant believe all the hate for this episode, i was skeptical before watching it but now i have a whole new found respect for Glee!

The songs: were beautiful they fitted the storys and i think i cried on every one of them especially the finale number

Too much April? No i think it was nice to see her and how her life story was fitting in with Will's, he needed to have someone to talk to and April was perfect for that, also we needed to see him grieving im sorry but he was married for over 11 years its gotta be kinda hard not being with that person anymore not matter how crazy they are, this whole scene (the will/april number in his house) was just perfect and so real!

Kurt: Wow can i dislike you anymore, so manipulative just so he can have his own way no matter who he hurt in the process and then kicks in his jealousy when things dont go his way, yeah this episode made me disliek him more!

Mercedes: i now like you a little, Amber Riley was WOW in this episode, man this girl can act, and it was so nice to see a not so much eating disorder but a struggle with your weight because someone has told you too, im sorry but i think everyone has been there at some point, maybe not to that extreme but definatly close!

My only problems wiht the episode was the lack of Quick and St Berry scenes, and general Rachel but having April there and three big storlines going on made up for it in my eyes, this episode was the heart and the emotion, live isnt always happy and gleeful dare i say it and we finally have an episode where we get to see they all do hurt! LOVED IT!

p.s. sorry about the essay!

A agree, DarkSarcasm.

I wasn't sure whether to pick didn't like it or it was ok, beause I thought the second half was better than the first. I wasn't into this episode. I like Kurt, and think his crush on Finn is sweet when handled right, but it didn't work for me in this episode. The way it was handled just seemed a bit out of the blue and over the top. The songs were underwhelming and even though I like April (and love Kristin Chenoweth) they need to get the focus back on the main characters as an ensemble. There are so many plots set up in the first half of the season that still, three episodes in, haven't been properly looked at. Like what's going on with Quinn and Puck? What's Quinn's plan for the baby now (since before she was changing her mind a lot, and her plan must have changed with her circumstances)? Where is she living? Or things that have been set up recently, like what's Jesse up to? There were some good moments, I think the second half of the episode was much better than the first half, like Kurt's scenes ("guy talk? I'm a guy" awww) but three eps in I'm still unimpressed, I hope it picks up soon, because it feels like the writing has got a bit clumsy and unfocused compared to how it used to be.

I cant believe all the hate for this episode, i was skeptical before watching it but now i have a whole new found respect for Glee!

^ Agreed.
The whole concept of the episode was beautiful <3

But i can't say i LOVED it. I don't care much about the "adults" drama, i prefer watching more of the Gleeks. I couldn't relate much to the songs, apart from Beautiful. And this episode had like 2 comedy moments. Glee doesn't need to be funny ALL THE TIME, but even on some emotional episodes, there's more comedy than in this one. =/

It was LAME as hell!

Seriously, is this Glee for 85 year olds? Barbra Streisand? Are you kidding me?????

I think I figured out the problem with Glee. The creators are out of touch with what the audience wants. We are not show-tunes people, we don't want that kind of stuff. Were any of you calling for more Barbra Streisand before? Didn't think so. We want more PUCK you idiots!

I didn't like it at all. I think that Glee isn't the type of show to have tearjerker moments. The Mercedes/Quinn moment felt forced to me. The music sucked. Will/April was ridiculously boring.
And yes, Puck's ONLY LINE in the entire episode was the only thing I liked.

Agreed!

I really can't believe I wasted an hour of my life on that.

i really liked it..maybe cause i am old? i LOVED that the music had a different feel to it than usual and it wasnt all show choiresque for a change. and they took a breather from rachel being in every scene and singing her heart oot. i LIKED that very very much. as much as i like her i think she gets waaay too much screen time. and too many solos for that matter.

I was kinda disappointed :>

no Rachel action !! kind of boring episode!!

This was my favorite episode so far since Glee has come back.

The only thing I didn't dislike about it was Quinn being so sweet. It was probably my least favorite episode ever.

I can't believe people not liking the episode either!

I loved it. It's probably one the best Glee episodes, and for sure the most clever one.

Mercedes storyline - so true and touching! Told very easy, but showing perfectly such problems like anorexia & self-acceptance. Great way of exploring the topic.

Quinn - so mature & sweet. I expected such a scene since the beginning of the second part of series. Wonderful.

Kurt/Finn - yeah! Kinda fuuny, but also realistic. Want more of that.

Finn's mom & Kurt's dad - hell yeah! Starting a new relationshp after years af being widow - very difficult, but beautiful topic. Glee surprised me very much in the most possible positive way by exploring it so well.

April - I like her character, her storyline goes well with current Will's plot. Focusing on her was nice change. Plus her voice is amazing.

Rachel - no Rachel! That's what I love the most :)

Music was of course less powerfull then in Madonna episode, but Glee isn't all about a show. It's also about emotions. The song were just perfect choice & covers. I'm a huge Barbra Streisand fan, so I was really happy to hear her song (althugh I'm 23, not 85 - @livelydebate...)

Overall - i think this episode was the most "adult & mature" one from all Glee episodes, that's why I loved it so much - and that's probably wht most people didn't like it so much (I know I'm a little older then usual Glee viewer).

I hope Glee will chose this path - it's not always about fun. And "Home" had so much meaning, sweetnes, truth and still smile...
Exactly what I makes the show to be amazing.

Okay, now that I've seen whole episode, I can tell that it wasn't THAT bad.

April&Will STILL bored me to tears.

Highlight of the ep: Quinn&Mercedes, Kurt and Burt/everyone.
I teared up several times. What's wrong with me? D: lol

Wow some of these comments:

Seriously, is this Glee for 85 year olds? Barbra Streisand? Are you kidding me?????

Im not being funny but i am only 21, and i know lots of people in their 30's as well who love this show, what makes this show amazing is that all ages love it and so it is catered for people of all ages, but obviously from reading these comments only people who seem to be 'old' can understand real problems that go on with people! And if this is a show about a realistic show choir then you should be glad theres not barbara in every episode because show choir with her just does not exsist!

Sorry i get a little bit rattled when people assume others can only enjoy classic greats like these tracks if there in their 80's! :S

i was bored i mean it was OK but i was just really bored there wasn't enough Rachel in this episode and to much April! Overall i just really didn't like it !!!:( I hope Bad Reputation has alot of PuckelBerry!!!!:):):)

I really loved it...got me crying almost half of the episode..
I think this is a different side of Glee like the emotional side of the characters.
My fav was Mercedes/Quinn
Mercedes feeling bad about herself after we've beeing seeing her so proud of her chocolate!!
Quinn all grown up! super cute..taking care of Drizzle!

I'm still confused what's up with Will he misses Terri or Emma or Shelby?? damn!!
And April wo0w I love her so much she's simply AMAZING I don't know why people don't like her!
Not enough St.Berry or Quick as I wanted but those tiny seconds of them made my day!!

I actually expected alot more I mean I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either

Not enough Emma, not enough Rachel, not enough Puck and not enough Jesse. And too much April.

I have really mixed feelings about this episode. I liked some of the numbers. though I guess since I only really knew one song its to be expected - I loved the duets though

and the Kurt/Finn/parents storyline as well as Mercedes storyline very really really well done and acted out incredibly. Chris Colfer is beyond words and comprehention, really. and his dad - WOW. I also liked the talk Finn had with both his mum and Kurts dad. he is really becoming and awesome young man and Cory is phenomenal in portraying him

I guess my problem is that as much as I liked the storylines they seemed very randon and really disconnected. liked they came out of nowhere and it feels like they will go nowhere as well

after this episode I really need to see a real Kurt/Finn duet

and Im so over Jesse. I cant even stand to look at guy, really. its physically painful. and he doesnt have to do anything, just be there and ... its not even hate cause I coulndt care less about him I just cant stand to look at him. or listen to him

I guess...

it`s exactly how i feel.

meh it was just okay!

Absloutely loved it, so much character development in just one episode.

It was really cute but is not on my top 5 :)
