It's been a loooong, "Glee"-less summer, but we've finally arrived at a new season of songs, squabbles and Sue Sylvester! In the season two premiere, titled "Audition," we find friends becoming enemies and old foes forming alliances. Plus, there's plenty of fresh meat who must quickly form their own alliances.

The episode kicked off documentary-style with the always too-inquisitive Jacob asking New Directions members what they've been up to all summer. There was the obvious news (Finn and Rachel are madly in love), some over sharing (Puck had a vasectomy), an "Oh no!" revelation (Tina and Mike are dating, leaving our Artie all alone) and, well, Brittany (she spent her summer lost in the sewers.)

He reports that sources close to him have disclosed that Bill Condon, one of the three main directors Summit Entertainment had short-listed for "Breaking Dawn," is negotiating with the studio to helm a two-part "Breaking Dawn" back to back, starting in the fall.

It's a pretty loaded declaration, similar to one his colleague Nikki Finke reported earlier this year. Summit was quick to shut down the rumor that "Breaking Dawn" was set to be two films (not saying it wouldn't, just saying it wasn't set), but now, two months later, it seems like Nikki won't end up being too far off. In light of Summit coming out later today and shutting down Mike's report as well, we'd like to weigh the pros and cons of Bill Condon helming "Breaking Dawn."
