Does Glee drop the ball in continuity?

Glee has received — appropriately, in this humble blogger’s opinion — quite a bit of praise since it debuted last summer.

The Good Wife finally gets angry

We like gossip, don’t we? We love a good piece of juicy gossip that we can chew and chew, rehashing it over and over again until we’ve milked the last one-liner from it. Who cares who it hurts? What does it matter if the person on the other end is watching, has children, is trying […]
