There had to be a point where the brilliant run of recent
Glee episodes faltered, however though
Sexy isn't as strong as some of its predecessors Gwyneth Paltrow's return did still make it a viewing to remember. This week it was all about sex education, yet surprisingly that didn't make it feel predictable after we looked at the dangers of alcohol last week. That there was still innovation was probably due to the return of the aformentioned actress (perhaps most famous for her role as assistant Pepper in the
Iron Man films), who brought with her great renditions of
Do You Wanna Touch Me, Kiss and
Landslide while proving to be a new problem in the Will and Emma requited love saga that has spanned the entirety of the programme so far. There were five songs in the mix this week, but it annoyed me to see that most of them were shoehorned in during the second half as opposed to being well spaced out throughout the hour, especially when
Afternoon Delight- probably ringing a bell with fans of Will Ferrell's
Anchorman!- was cut short before it could come to fruition. Thankfully, the sub-plot of Kurt's dealing with what sex means for homosexual men was interesting and not as much of a juxtaposition as recent Warbler outings have been alongside the main storyline. Overall, while the pacing could have been handled better and the closing tango number was a bit of a strange one,
Sexy was a well-above average episode that managed to hold its own even if it wasn't necessarily as strong as its predecessors.
