Ok, I remember the racism (relatives in prison, pinata, blah blah blah), the sexism (I don't want you to see me make a girl cry), and the cisgendernormativism (I didn't recognize you, you're wearing BOY clothes for once), but what was the homophobia? I must have missed it.
Even yesterday, before the episode aired, I had higher hopes for Sebastian as a redeemable character (although I was by no means convinced the story line would end up there). But yesterday presented him as absolutely aware and absolutely in control of how hurtful he's being, with little capacity for remorse. I could be wrong. We shall see where it goes.
I'm on gmail, too. Wowbrightlj. Sometimes I watch the show live and sometimes watch it later. It's nice to chat the show; I have no RL friends who watch Glee. Even my mom, who introduced me to the show, has left it for NCIS (crime shows are her first priority always).
I rarely watch it live, I work Tuesday nights and get home about halfway through. (And certainly not in time for the east coast feed.) I'm just talking general chatting during the week. Actually, next week's ep I'm home for because Tuesday's classes have been cancelled and moved to Sunday.
ME TOO ME TOO!!!! that was spectacular! i love that Burt loves Blaine so much!
re: seb...you forgot douchebag.
but i loved the rest of the warblers during B or W :) shit, now just thinking about it, it would have been way more awesome if Niff and some of the Warblers had come to visit Blainers during 'Ben' rather than Finchel (except for Finn's presentation of the eyepatch movies...loved that!).
ps, if you haven't seen them, there are some hilarious blaine as a pirate doodles floating around
I'll need to look for the doodles. Alas, I am afraid of Tumblr so it may be a while before I find them.
Re: douchebag. When I really want to insult someone, all the insults seem wanting. Like, I called him an ass, but asses on humans can be glorious, and asses the donkeys are adorable. And who did a douchebag - the literal, not metaphorical, kind - ever hurt? Meerkat is problematic, because I like meerkats. They eat scorpions, you know.
Thought it was weird that they didn't change "Ben" to "Blaine", but that probably had to do with the rights they could get to the song. I actually appreciated that it was Finchel in "Ben" - Finn needs to be making up for his earlier jerkiness toward Blaine, so I liked to see him making an effort.
I totally agree with both of these. I was so excited about this ep (seeing as it was supposed to be my last) and I felt really let down. I enjoyed Wanna be startin something and Scream (epic), and found Black and White rather cute. The rest I fast forwarded, either not interested or second-hand embarrassment. I've officially given up on watching whole eps :( And I can't even say I feel like rewatching the Klaine bits. What is the world coming from?
Well, at least it will enable you to make a cleaner break from Glee, right?
I thought the Kurt bits were strong, but the Klaine bits not so much. Someone else pointed out this morning, though, that whenever Glee puts a very strong focus on a couple's relationship week after week, it usually means that couple is headed for a train wreck. So I will stick to fic for more of my Klaine moments.
Oh man, I don't even make sense lol Oh well, I blame my head cold.
You are totally right about the cleaner break that should be easier. Except I am me and completely irrational when it comes to Klaine, so as long as I think I can stand it (maybe the VD ep?) I'll watch the Klaine bits.

Good point. I'll try focusing on this then and hope they're not in for a break-up or serious trouble down the road ;)

I have decided I'm ok with Sebastian being the worst possible person he can while still being believable as someone who could exist in real life.
Also OMG THAT EPISODE WAS AWESOME! I'm so pleased. :D

I... need to get on skype. I only chat with Jude now on gmail chat, and I'm lonely.
Blaine is totally one of the Hummels.
I really could have done without about half of this episode though. (Go see my really long rant in Weeds' journal under yours.)

I saw your long rant and I approve. :)
