Okay, I just watched tonight's episode and the way it explored religion made it very uncomfortable to watch, but also made for some interesting commentary. ( Read more... )
Like I immediately knew he was going to eat the Grilled Cheesus before it happened.
I know! As soon as they show him opening the refrigerator, I knew.
But, um, how is eating the duck's egg honoring the duck? That seems very douchy.
Heh. Well, it makes sense in the story. Because she had to take the egg away, or else the duck would continue to nest there--and eventually the duck and its eggs would get done in by her dogs. So her choices were to throw the egg into the trash, feed it to the dogs, or eat it. And since the whole situation arose because of human destruction of natural habitat--human rejection of the natural world--reincorporating herself into the lifecycle/food chain is presented as a way to show respect to the duck. I don't know. It's a little weird, I guess.
More on Finn: that by eating the Grilled Cheesus, he's destorying the idol, that which he used to prop himself up and as a sounding board for all his selfish desires; he needed to destroy it just as he needed to restore his own internal balance.
Yes. Totally. And that's so sad. It's like he's acknowledging that it was a false idol, but since it was really the only experience he ever had with faith, he chooses to treat it with a certain amount of dignity. Which, in turn, sort of gives him a measure of dignity.
I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.
And how much did Little Kurt look like Chris Colfer? That kid could've been his brother. That's good casting, yo.
Ahhh that makes sense! Or you know, she can keep her dog inside so it doesn't eat the eggs. Just sayin'.
I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.
I get what you're saying! Oh, Glee. It's reduced us to talking about a grilled cheese idol sandwich.
I did a double take at Little Kurt. Seriously. Awesome casting. I think I might rewatch that scene just to cry again. What? I do that sometimes. *squish*

I do that too! But I also do the opposite. Sometimes something just tears me up so much (ahem, "The Body"--I'm lookin' at you), I go out of my way to NOT watch it again, because it's too hard.
Right, but watching The Body is like the too awful, traumatic crying. This was more like the beautiful sentimental hopeful crying. There should be signs! And warning labels!
Rewatching the Body (which I've only done once) is also, like, a solid hour of crying. I literally start crying the very first moment, and just continue weeping at varying degrees of weepy and wailiness until it's over.

Yeah. Not hopeful crying at all.
