GLEE - Season 3.5 - THE FIRST TIME

This episode deals with Blaine and Rachel losing their virginity.  It's a big disappointment especially considering how the show has dealt with Kurt's relationship with his father and Coach Beiste's self-esteem.  Those issues were portrayed in such a poignant and sensitive matter that made for great entertainment and for highlights of the series.

This virginity issue though lacks in every way.  The writing lets us down which is a huge disappointment yet par for the course this season.  The show has lost its magic.

Another disappointment is how they handled Finn finding out he's not good enough to be a college quarterback.  This should be a big moment.  This character's world has just ended.  How does the show handle this?  With a flashback.  C'mon, this is a plot point that you build an episode around.  You don't gloss over it in a three-minute scene.  

School's clearly out and the show has received a failing grade.
