The first half of the episode was pure crap and nonsense, but things began picking up in the second half so let's focus on that. Kurt's daddy issues become worse when Burt takes to inviting Finn out to watch football games. So Kurt decides to be a real guy and started dating Brittany, making sure that everyone knew about it. However, even while making out, he asks Brittany what a guy's lips tasted like. Ooops.
His plan failed, leading to Kurt performing a Broadway-musical-styled Rose's Turn in the darkness of the auditorium. Kurt really shone with this song, and further proves how Kurt's vocals could one day rival Rachel's. In fact, he's the best male singer in the group. Only problem is that he has a girl's singing voice.
After the performance, the lights turn up, to reveal Burt watching his son's performance. They finally have a real heart-to-heart talk, and the two reconcile onstage, making one of the most emotional moments on the show. The chemistry between Chris Colfer and Mike O'Malley is amazing. If you didn't know them, you might think that they were an actual father-son pair.
Meanwhile, Rachel loses her voice while performing a rendition of The Climb, sounding like a cat with it's tail stepped on. She realises that she has tonsilitis and faced to possibility of losing her voice completely. Rachel feels that without her voice, she is no longer her. Finn tries to cheer her up by bringing him to visit an old friend, a quarterback who became crippled after a game. He taught her that even if you lose what you're strongest in, it doesn't mean that you're useless. Rachel's tonsilitis heals, and she sings a duet with the paralysed guy.
Laryngitis is a definite improvement over last week's horrendous Bad Reputation, but Glee still has a long way to go before it's back in my list of must-watch series. Now I'm only watching it if I can find the time. Now that everything's going uphill, I sure hope Glee won't crash and burn, again.
