Four Problems with Glee's Glorious Return

Minor ones, obviously, because I'm blinded by the perfection that is Sue Sylvester. Nonetheless...

#1. Why bother suspending Sue before the hiatus? I thought the roofie explanation was brilliant (not to mention the use of the phrase "sexual congress"), but her being gone amounted to literally nothing. There was no gap, no period of limbo, no opportunity for her to coach a competing glee club to beat McKinley at regionals! The latter's an unfortunately missed opportunity that I can live with, but I don't understand what her suspension adds to the show, except a moment of unnecessary drama to the pre-hiatus finale.

#2. Jessica Simpson jokes are lazy.

#3. Glee club isn't get shut down. Stop pretending that's really a risk, writers; it smacks of fake drama & lack of creativity.

#4. The adults (with one glaringly obvious exception) are boring. Let's cut down on Will, and Emma, and Terri. More of this. And this.
