(no subject)
Fringe was so good last night. I was really looking forward to this episode because I knew Romy Rosemont was in it, and I was excited to see her actually get lines. And she got lines. She probably had more lines in one guest appearance than she has in her whole run on Glee. And she was heartbreaking, her and Stephen Root. I knew they'd probably be either a.) the bad guys or b.) dying, because that's how guest star stints on Fringe go, but I'm glad they weren't evil. Also, while normally I don't get a lot of chemistry from real-life partners playing lovers, this time it worked. I think because they were supposed to be a couple that's been married for a long time, and usually I don't get the chemistry when it's partners playing a couple just getting together.
Plus, Alzheimer's is one of those truly terrifying things. I think that's what I'm most scared of- having it happen to one of us. Both positions- having to go through it and having to watch someone you love go through it- are terrible. Their plotline would have broken my heart if I didn't have an investment in the actress.
And yeah, I guess the Fringe team was running around, too :) I think the guest stars stole the show this week, though.
Gaeta and Kurt are surprisingly giving me a bit of trouble. I think once they get their stride they'll be okay, but this beginning part is hard. Oh well. We'll muscle through it :) Part of what's hard is writing Kurt when he gets mildly defensive. When he's outright defensive, he's easy. When he's on a mild defensive kick, he gets snarky and superior and I have to be in the right frame of mind to write that.
I've also been working on the outline for my gleebang. I hope Carole gets written, but she seems to have wandered off someplace. (Actually, I know exactly where she is. She is tapping her foot impatiently because she can't wait for Chapter 10, where she gets a huge, big, ass-kicking moment.) But the Finn-Kurt-baby thing is just really driving at me. I just really, really wish I could figure out a few parts of the plot.
I'm also preemptively scared for next week's internet reaction. The Finn hate after he accidentally outs Santana is already through the roof, and we haven't even seen it yet. I really need to see the scene, first.
The actual Finn hate makes me so uncomfortable sometimes. I'm not talking about the fact people don't like him. It's the die in a fire rage. Because I really think Finn's a good guy who's got his flaws and tries to overcome them, but fails a lot of times. I have a lot of other feelings about Finn, but I think I'll just sum it up with that if I was Carole, I'd be exasperated at times, but I'd still be pretty proud of him.
Anyway, guess we're heading out soon. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
