‘Glee’: Dammit, ‘Glee’ I love you

Although we’re only five episodes in, Glee‘s second season has stirred up quite the debate from even the most die-hard of fans thus far: To theme episode or not to theme episode? If you’re leaning towards the latter, sorry, but you’ll have to wait another week, because tonight Glee returns (did you miss it?) with the much-anticipated “The Rocky Horror Glee Show,” a New Directions take on the cult classic. Luckily, it appears that McKinley’s glee club is tackling the cult musical, which means the performances will be integrated a bit more seamlessly — and realistically — then, say, a hallucinogenic trip to the dentist. (Unless Ryan Murphy pulls a Darlton and they’re all dead.)

Does anyone want to guess as to how they got these songs past Principal Figgins and Coach Sylvester? Who are you most excited to see in their Rocky Horror roles: Kurt as Riff Raff, Finn as Brad Majors, or a shirtless (and pants-less?) Sam as Rocky? After hearing that the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter was originally intended for John Stamos, are you excited or a little let down that Mercedes will be filling Tim Curry’s shoes tonight? Fret not, Stamos lovers, because Dr. Carl is still returning to battle for Emma’s heart (Sorry Will, but Uncle Jesse can be my teddy bear any day) and will make his singing debut on tonight’s episode. Looks like Carl’s singing might have a better effect on Emma than Will’s “Thong Song,” as Emma’s “Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me” is a sign that she’s making some progress with regards to her intimacy issues.

What say you, PopWatchers? Will “The Rocky Horror Glee Show” be the best Glee episode ever? What do you think about the idea of a full length Rocky Horror remake? And when is Puck getting out of juvie? After you watch the episode, head back here to let us know what you think, and don’t forget to look for Tim Stack’s full recap after midnight.
