WIll & Emma Channels a Ceiling Dancing Fred Astaire on Glee

The recent focus on Mr. Shcue (Matthew Morrison) and his runaway bride Emma (Jayma Mays) has been a mid-season find for "Glee as of late.

For a longtime Gleek like myself (dude did I just say that), the show was at its strongest the first two seasons, where  Ryan Murphy's hit not only focused on Rachel and Fin and the rest of the Lima, Ohio show choir, but it was also wrappred in adult themes of Mr. Shue's dealing disintegrating marriage with his wife terry and  his feelings from afar  for the school counselor Emma.

Over the years, the focus was geared more towards the kids, more music was crammed into the episodes  and guests stars became more commonplace.The show still was interesting, but the conflicted life of Will Schuester in season 1 was replaced by a glee club conductor who only gave pep talks by season 3.

Yesterday's black and white opener, where  Morrison and Mays reacted a classic scene from 1951 Fred Astaire 1951 movie musical Royal Wedding while singing "You're All the World to Me" was pitch perfect that I would actually wanted to see more of Will's black and white dream.

The chemistry between Morrison and Mayes has always been one of the show's best secret weapons and its good to see these two fine actors display this energy on screen once again,

While the new-found Will and Emma storyline might not last for the rest of the season, this small resurgence of the Glee adults has been a great nod on how interesting and gritty the show was when Rachel Berry got her  first slushee was thrown in her face.
