My favorite line of the episode had nothing to do with stereotypes -- I have to go. They'll think I'm pooping.

Wow! Everyone needs to stop picking this show apart and look at it for what it is! ENTERTAINING! This episode was one of the best episodes I have seen on TV, on any show, in a very long time! The ballad numbers were brilliant and applied perfectly by this amazing cast! I was smiling throughout the entire episode! I am still in Glee heaven!

i wish kurt had got the chance to sing "i honestly love you" to finn, the perfect song for him "im not trying to make you uncomfortable, im not trying to make you anything at all, i honestly love you"

Christians, the victimized majority. Anybody else fed up with this whine? I missed Sue but a pretty good episode.

Hilarious w/ the ballads. Quin's dad over-reaction was a little to un-real though. Good show.

I noticed the reference to Glenn Beck right away in the scene with Quinn's parents. It didn't bother me, most everyone in Hollywood in liberal and even though I'm independent, I hate politics. It was a jab at conservatives, no doubt. Who cares? This show is so awesome, I'll overlook that stuff. My biggest gripe with this show was the scene where Puck tells Mercedes he's Quinn's baby's father and she advises him to basically keep it to himself because Finn will make a better Dad. Huh??? That didn't ring geniune at all to me, Mercedes seems like she wouldn't stand for that lie for a minute. I love Finn but can't Puck sing again??? Why can't he have a whole song to himself, Finn gets to sing every ep and often more than once! All I'm saying is, spread the singing around more! Puck is quickly becoming my favorite character, I find myself watching him every scene he's in, even if he's in the background. He has major charisma! Emma's expression when Will was singing to Rachel was just hilarious! But, what's with that ridiculous hairstyle they make her where? That flip has got to go!! I will like Quinn alot better when she's honest with Finn, it's just tearing me up to see poor Finn trying so hard and it's all a lie!! Bad Quinn, very bad. Love Glee, I'd give this ep a B+.

I'm slightly on this side of the conservative-liberal spectrum (though not Christian) and I wasn't offended by the "conservative Christian" stereotype of Quinn's parents. I actually took it more to be that a) regardless of religion/race/ethnicitiy/whatever, parents toss out their pregnant teen daughters and b) they were kind of drunkies. Maybe I should be outraged that they portray "conservative Christians" to be drunkies? I don't know - but I'm not. They reminded me a lot of George Costanza's to-be-in-laws (Susan's parents) because of all that liquor.

And I'm sure it would be a surprise to anyone to find out that your daughter, president of the Chastity Club, is pregnant. Regardless of how open-minded one is, it would be a surprise because of the context. Quinn's parents just clearly were thrown completely off guard. Will they redeem themselves? Maybe. Glee is a lot like Friday Night Lights, where just about everyone has a chance to redeem themselves (Buddy Garrity, anyone?).

Re: Mercedes comments to Puck - I took it more or less that she directed her comments to who (whom?) she was speaking to. For example, if she was talking to Quinn, I think her advice would be that Quinn should 'fess up. If you were in Mercedes' position, what would you have said? "You're totally right, Puck, it is messed up that you get nothing. You should totally tell everyone that you're the father."

Re: Kurt's crush on Finn. I don't think Kurt will get his heart crushed. Yes, he has a crush on Finn and everything, but I think Kurt knows deep down that Finn would not reciprocate. Plus, it's like a lot of crushes - once you actually get to know a person, you may not like who that person really is. Kurt likes Finn because he stuck up for him. But aside from that, do they have anything else in common? (Besides glee, football, and having one parent deceased).

missed the opening credits but when I seen Quinn's mum I was like EVE DONOVAN !!!!! days of our lives so it was great to see Charlotte Ross again. I thought Rachel was gonna burst out singing To Sir, with Love at some point to bad she didn't.

Religion is always a touchy subject....ALWAYS, Logan. Being a teacher in a public school is so hard in a small town of Christians, where they haven't often been exposed to anything else. Some had said before about people not agreeing with your beliefs. It's not necessarily religion at all. It's how you were raised and how much you expose yourself to the world and accept it. this whole deal is not about Christian conservatism. I know plenty of Christians who are not uber-conservative, and I know atheists who would kick their kid out if they were going to have a child out of wedlock. It comes down to someone's character. Notice how Quinn's mom was scared of her husband. She wanted to console Quinn. She's a Christian. She's willing to accept Quinn's situation, but her husband isn't. This show may base off of stereotypes, but it will break those molds. Character development doesn't happen all in one episode. Give characters time to open up and flourish. The same thing happened with Popular. The show was based on stereotypes and cliques, but it ended with messing all that up, and it was FANTASTIC!

How many people here are paid to comment?
Just curious. Seems like all the negative comments here a very focused talking points. As if they've been scripted to inspire "conflict". I'm used to this on the news sites and avoid even reading comments there - but now I feel it's stepped over to the "marketing media" side and is showing up HERE. Super bummer.
