Review: FOX's "Glee" tackles school shooting

I’m sure I’m not the only one out there who feels that the most recent season of “Glee” lacks the thunder the show had in its previous seasons. Many fans were skeptical that the show would even continue to be that great, when last season saw the departure of more than half of the show’s original “golden” cast.

“And all the roads we have to walk are winding… and all the lights that lead us there are blinding… There are many things I would like to say to you but I don’t know how…” The lyrics to “Wonder Wall” by Oasis, which closed this week's fourth episode of HBO's "Girls" could not speak any truer to its main themes.
