"Glee" served up another uneven episode last night, this time about God. Finn found Jesus in -- and on -- a grilled cheese sandwich which led New Directions to pontificate on prayer and reveal the role religion plays in their lives. We learned that Mercedes & Quinn are bible thumpers while Rachel & Puck want to raise their respective (not together, please) babies Jewish. For their part, Sue & Kurt believe the sky is filled only with clouds after facing "how could there be a God scenarios."
For Sue, that moment happened early in life when her older sister was mercilessly mocked for being differently abled while Kurt's crisis of faith came crashing down when his father Burt suffered a coma-inducing heart attack.
It was through this last storyline that the episode redeemed itself in my eyes. And all of that has to do with Chris Colfer's performance.
Because his character has long been the best serviced on the show, Chris has often gotten the meatiest material to work with -- and last night was no exception as Kurt spent much of the hour in limbo, not knowing if he'd soon become an orphan.
That led to a pair of stunning scenes for Kurt/Chris as he sang a song for his father, begged for some signs of life and cemented his 2011 Emmy nomination.
