Though we can't get him out, we'll do the next best thing- We go on TV and sing, sing, sing!
LOST HOW ARE YOU SO AMAZING?
I have no idea what just happened, and even with my suspension of disbelief for this show some of this was bizarrely out there, but IDEC THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME.
First- brand new icon! Made by the_wanlorn, quote from Celebrity Apprentice. IS IT NOT THE GREATEST THING EVER? Besides all the other ways in which it is freaking amazing, it makes me imagine a Celebrity Apprentice challenge where the teams have to help the public image of a ~Candidate, and Richard is their Helper who gets to assist with the voting, and Rock Solid tries to change Jack's image and he's all :| whereas Cyndi Lauper and Hurley become BFFs, like, IMMEDIATELY.
EVERYONE IS MEETING! I'd thought that Desmond hitting Locke with a car last week was to recreate specific experiences that had turned them into the Losties they are (so, Locke getting hit by a car; Hurley getting kissed by Libby; etc), but I am TOTALLY NOT COMPLAINING if it's this instead. Because, hey! Everyone's meeting! THEY'RE ALL FRIENDS! (by some definitions of friend, w/e w/e)
My #1 problem: How come EVERYONE ELSE can fall down a well and not die? NEEDS MOAR JULIET >:(
Also, how come it's been a WHOLE WEEK, and no one has made a Lost video to the song about sending our love down the well from the Simpsons?
Perhaps most importantly, I am really sad that the Willy Wonka music from last week's trailer meant NOTHING. Did Claire turn into a blueberry? No. Did Jack drown in a river of chocolate? No. Did Sawyer shrink to miniature? No. Was Sayid labeled a bad egg? No. Did Juliet sample the Fizzy Lifting Drink and rise from the dead? ALSO NO.
I swear, it is like they were TAUNTING ME.
Also, I am watching Glee now. Short version? Love the music. Hate the Schue. Needs moar explosions. That is, apparently, my weekly reaction to this show.
THIS SHOW GIVES ME SO MANY FEELINGS.
I really was not thrilled with how they handled sexuality and virginity in this episode. And what made it so problematic for me- I mean, besides the obvious (and please, if there's a way to read Schue's interactions with Emma as anything but "You can't be a competent guidance counselor if you haven't had sex," I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT)- is that Ryan Murphy HAS DONE BETTER ONES. The Popular episode about sex is cheesy and awful and over the top and after school special-y and I love it.
I love Mercedes and Kurt more than pie. ("Mercedes is black. I'm gay. We make culture." ♥) I actually love 90% of the cast.
But- okay, a list.
1. MR SCHUE IS A TERRIBLE PERSON AND HE SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE.
2. I would really feel better if Schue stops dating people who look like Rachel and Rachel stops dating people who look like Schue.
3. NO SRSLY SCHUE I FUCKING HATE YOU.
4. That is some ham-handed treatment of misogyny, which would bother me much less if it extended to the ways characters had been misogynistic in episodes previous to this one, which have been many!
5. SCHUE DID YOU SERIOUSLY GET A THERAPIST FOR EMMA (NOT EVEN LETTING HER GET ONE HERSELF)?
6. Someday I will write up my post about OCD on this show and how it gives me Conflicted Feelings. Cause I really like Emma as a character, which is good! I empathize with her more than nearly everyone else on the show! And I don't think the OCD is held up as a reason to make fun of her; it's just a personality quirk. But it's SO overly quirky, and I don't really get what it's trying to say about any particular stereotype. Like, it's not a case of succeeding or failing at satire, it's that I can't figure out what their satire is supposed to be mocking, so I can't figure out if it's satire.
7. Will someone please reassure me that Schue got Emma a therapist for the OCD instead of the fact that she doesn't want to have sex? Because it's not like it isn't offensive either way, but I really CANNOT VOCALIZE how angry I am if it's the latter. Because Schue is a douchebag.
8. I did appreciate the way that the cuts during "Like a Virgin" could make it seem like Rachel and Santana were hitting it.
9. Sue Sylvester possibly has the strongest, most consistent moral compass on this show. Although I guess that's not hard. Still, I'm glad Kurt and Mercedes are on Team Cheerio, even though it looks like next week should be the exciting Episode About Fatness.
10. SERIOUSLY MR SCHUE DIE IN AN ACTUAL FIRE.
TL;DR: I like it when they sing. Why do they have to screw that up by speaking? Also, I miss Popular.
