Glee 2.1: "Audition"

Honestly, I wasn't wild about this season premiere, but it felt very transitional, so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and see if the rest of the season improves once it gets going. I did like the way Will and Rachel acted similarly when they felt threatened. As far as the new characters, I liked the football coach and the new boy, but I wasn't wild about Sunshine. I know Charice has lots of fans, but this seemed like one of those stunt casting things where the guests fans like it and everyone else doesn't get it. That said, the Sunshine/Rachel duet of "Telephone" was clearly the song of the night:

Other thoughts: "Empire State of Mind" worked better in context than I thought it would. I'm sorry to say that I barely missed Emma. I love the way they're writing Finn and Rachel as a couple, so I hope that lasts for a while. And, as always, Will did not sing enough.
