Well fellow gleetards, the trip is over. I'd like to say that when this column started Glee was just another struggling show on FOX and we've seen it grow together into the cultural phenomenon it is, but I came in halfway through the first season. It really only took a few episodes for Glee to become big news. If anything, we've seen Glee grow from show into juggernaut.

Usually I blabber on here ranting about plot continuity and grace Blogtown with my oh-so-trenchant insights like how Finn always looks like he's pooping (did you know that actor is 28 years old?!) but this week I'm way more interested in seeing what you thought about Glee's first season. Some questions I have after the jump and this piece of DeviantArt-work. Glee discussion group: COMMENCE!

Finn and Rachel: hot couple or lukewarm?

Are we sad that Quinn and Mercedes won't be roomies? Are Puck and Quinn getting together for real?

Sue's character is pretty three-dimensional now. What about her relationship with Will? Is it still interesting? Does it even make sense?

Will and Emma's relationship got a quick shot in the arm tonight. Over the first season Glee has definitely shifted its focus to the kids primarily. Am I the only one who misses the adult storylines or is the high school stuff more fun?

How about that "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Did Vocal Adrenaline deserve to win?

Which name is stupider: Oral Intensity or Vocal Adrenaline?

The mute Asian guy and the mute black guy actually talked in this episode. Then they gave each other a fist bump during Will's ukulele performance. The show's true steaming hot couple?

Most importantly: now that we see what it can do with a season, how do you guys feel about Glee as a show? Is it more fun than 90% of the shows out there? Is it embarrassing to watch? Is it a total mess or a delicious bouillabaisse of drama and snarkiness? What are we taking away?

Stray notes and quotes
Our baby's name is Beth, Vocal Adrenaline coach, like the KISS song. Do you want her?
Olivia Newton-John makes a pretty great villain!
"I'm a Winner and You're Fat"
"I partied with Freddy Mercury back in the '70s and I partied hard, if you know what I mean. Back then people weren't so obsessed with labels."
"It's as barren as me in here, Will"
"I've seen that car you drive. I don't want to catch poor."
"As you all know, Glee Club is such an important- and I can't even finish that sentence."
