 Kevin Sullivan of MTV stated that Principal Figgins " stole the show with his outburst and the passing reference to Finchel " , and VanDerWerff said his was " a very funny moment in the episode " , and also complimented the sequence for having alluded to " how it ’ s still much harder to have a same @-@ sex kiss on a broadcast network than it is to have Rachel and Finn neck disgustingly " . The God Squad , however , was not well received : Canning described it as " conveniently arriving for the sake of one storyline in this episode " and debating " a forced issue that we all knew would result in acceptance " , and VanDerWerff pointed out that as " we already know how the other three kids are going to shake out " , it was " surprisingly undramatic " and its sole purpose to " watch a new character decide if he 's okay with gay people " . Futterman , on the other hand , felt that the sequence " tastefully incorporated religion 's views into the show 's ongoing look at gay relationships " .
