Glee has always been a revolving door of deja vu storylines, so. Here we have Finn/Rachel/Quinn 2.0 - except Finn2 has a touch of Puck, and Rachel2 doesn't think the world owes her a Finn. Quinn2's still Quinn at this stage. And the twist is the Puckleberry flavoring in the Finn/Rachel/Quinn triangle replacing the Quinn/Puck tension.
Still want Rachel to STFU and act like a student, not a privileged brat for once in her life. If there's one lesson I want her to ever learn, that Will sure as hell never taught her, it's that just demanding shit should get you slapped down, because you ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL. How many times now has she backsassed, rolled her eyes, complained about how Cassie's not faaaaiiiir!, and stated that she's so special that the rules don't apply to her? And it's just the first two episodes! She only remains humble for five minutes and then someone rushes to reward her with whatever she originally whined about. It's like neither she nor the world has learned a thing since Tonight in season one. That girl has never had an actual consequence that stuck unless it was then immediately erased.
And sorry, Rachel, but you can't do sexy. Or dance much. But good try? Either way, you aren't so great at this that you get to dictate to Cassandra how fabulous and deserving you are that she should change her mind. No matter how often Cassandra's said it, Rachel just can't conceive of anyone not squeeing at her talent, so why should she need to develop a thick skin when she can badger someone/CARMEN/Cassie until she gets what she wants. She always gets what she wants. Rejection is for other losers in her class.
I still don't know how to feel about the McKinley half - still getting a feel for how all these new people are fitting into the old. It's a huge swing in the dynamic and tone of the group, not just like slowly adding a Blaine or a Sam one at a time. You have to love how tragic their school assemblies always turn out. It's interesting to see Britt crashing, and I'm sure Blaine won't be far behind in his own crisis of lonely.
