GLEE Season Premiere: “The New Rachel” – We Want YOUR Thoughts on the Return of GLEE!

The wait is over. GLEE is back!

With Rachel (and now Kurt) in NYC, Finn MIA (hopefully not literally) and the kids of New Directions being top of the McKinley heap (gasp!) – it’s safe to say that change is in the air for GLEE fans.

We covered a lot of ground in last week’s GLEE Premiere ‘You Ask, I Answer’, but now that the episode has aired, I definitely want to hear from YOU!

Was the premiere everything you hoped it would be? Were you digging the new NYC/Lima split?  How about tonight’s music? Did you welcome the GLEE newbies with open arms?

The comments are open and I would love to get your dish on the season 4 premiere.  Here are a few of my thoughts to get the convo started:

• Concrete jungles where dreams are made of…oh how I love seeing Rachel and Kurt in NYC. It’s like all my dreams of a spinoff came true (minus Blaine’s absence). Kurt and Rachel have come so far in their friendship and now we get to see them live out their new lives together as roomies. When they finally were reunited in the park, I have no problem letting you know that I was a hot mess of tears. Lea Michele absolutely killed the scene when she finally breaks down with Kurt about what life was really like in New York, and for her to just turn around and find her best friend there…damn, I’m going to get emotional again.

• Contrary to popular belief (or at least Twitter belief) I am not anti-Finchel. In fact, I’m pulling for their happily ever after! With that, I can’t automatically hate on Brody just because he’s not Finn. Shipper feelings aside, Brody seems like a good guy and he’s being a much needed friend to Rachel right now. She’s lost, sad and confused and he has done nothing but support her and guide her as she navigates her new life. Now will he guide her into his bedroom?  Only time (and Ryan Murphy) will tell, but for now, I’m kind of digging Brody. (Ducking for cover!)

GLEE Season Premiere: “The New Rachel” – You Ask, I Answer

Are you gleeks ready?  One week from tonight your favorite show returns with an all new episode that really takes GLEE in a new direction (sorry, I tried to avoid it but I just couldn’t). Fox was kind enough to give me an early look at the ep, and in turn I wanted to share a few teasers with you!

Before we get going, I must share the same disclaimer I share before all my GLEE teaser posts…

Dear fellow die-hard GLEEks, in the words of Quinn Fabray – this post is all about the teasin’ and not necessarily the pleasin’. While I hope to share a few tidbits that will get you more excited about next week’s episode I’m not about spoiling major plot points for you.

If you are the type of fan that is going to be annoyed with me for not spilling everything there is to know then it’s probably best that you NOT read this and just wait to watch the episode yourself on Thursday.

On the other hand, if you are a fan that has a wavering line when it comes to what constitutes a spoiler, then you might want to stay away too as it’s not my intention to ruin the episode in any capacity for you.

Now that we have that settled, let’s get down to business.

As a fellow fan I know how excited you are about the new season, so to tide you over I wanted to answer a few of YOUR questions about the season premiere. Of course I didn’t anticipate that 90% of the questions would be about Klaine, Finchel and Britanna (but I guess I should have).  There’s so much you didn’t ask me about!  The music?  Sue’s baby? Wade/Unique? The comments are open so if you want to continue chatting, I’m game.

In the Glee promos, it seems that Rachel is struggling in her dance class. Is that the only thing she is struggling with at NYADA? I hope not. – Becca (Tumblr)
You’re right, if you’ve seen any of the GLEE promos, you know that the Miss Rachel Berry isn’t necessarily the star she was in Lima, Ohio…or is she? Rachel might be butting heads with dance instructor Cassandra July (played by guest Kate Hudson) but let’s not forget about this girl’s powerhouse vocals.  NYADA is competitive and Rachel is feeling the pressure, but don’t count her out yet. I mean if Carmen Tibideaux isn’t, you shouldn’t either.  Yes, NYADA is challenging, but it seems like Rachel is struggling more with adjusting to her new life in NYC than anything else. If missing Finn and missing Kurt weren’t enough, she also has to deal with her roommate’s never ending sexcapades and dorm mates that don’t quite understand her extensive moisturizing routine. Rachel’s NYC life isn’t exactly what she dreamed about for all those years back in Ohio.
