I don't know why Glee is at Comic-Con but they are and co-creator Ryan Murphy is being dropping spoilers like they're hot about season two.

As I grumbled in my weekly Glee updates over the last season, I've been sorta disenchanted with the series' apparent decision to push adult-oriented storylines into the background in deference to pure spectacle and high school drama. Not that I hate spectacle or high school drama, but part of what initially made Glee more than just a Hannah Montana with an "edge" was the sobering stuff about the adults at William McKinley High coming to terms with the fact that they aren't living the lives they imagined growing up.
Glee spent most of its wildly successful first season figuring out just what the fuck kind of show it was, veering from real pathos to snark and meta-humor to high school soap opera, punctuating each change with a remarkably varied selection of songs to pay tribute to/ruin. From Murphy's Comic-Con panel it looks to me like Fox's campiest show is finally deciding which way to butter its bread. Surprise! Celebrity guest stars and teen drama are in, the crushed dreams of William McKinley's staff and teachers are out. Let's discuss after the jump!
