We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I was kind of disappointed as well. Lily Allen song bugged. They couldn't find another song about smiling? Please.

(Also watching it was very uncomfortable given that I was at KBD's. Life imitating art, though of course he's not fake pregnant. However, my therapist said something almost exactly like "this marriage works because you don't feel good about yourself" during my session on Tuesday.)

Why don't you feel good about yourself, you're AWESOME! Think about it, am I friends with annoying or stupid people? No. Am I friends with cool people? Yes. Are you my friend? Yes. Ergo . . .

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that was kind of a tough episode.

I wish there'd been a tad more build-up to Shue's actual discovery, because it seemed like he went straight from no suspicion at all to certainty. I agree with Perkins that the physical way it played out was unsettling. But I can't imagine myself in either of those two's positions, and I thought it was acted well.

And also, seriously ouch, re: the statement. And smonster I'm sorry that pinged with the space you're in now. You're such an awesome person and I hope you find your way through.

Will is so isolated now. He doesn't have a support system in his school buddies. He's estranged from Terri and broken off from glee. (Although, I knew it was going to be an issue when he tore the plastic off the mattress. It's not like he had sheets. He might as well have slept on it in the plastic.) And while he hearkens back to Emma's feelings for him, she was right to call him on it.

What will Quinn do now with the baby?

I think that he'd known that something was off for a while. The fact that Terri never let him see her naked, never let him touch her stomach, wasn't having morning sickness. He knew that was strange, but it never occurred to him why. And why would it? Especially after the fake ultrasound.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

it seemed like he went straight from no suspicion at all to certainty.

That rang true to me. He found that pad and all of a sudden things he had dismissed and ignored suddenly became important and convincing. It probably never crossed his mind that Terri was not pregnant until then because, you know, who does that?

I also thought sleeping on the plastic would have been just as comfortable as sleeping on a bare mattress, that it was a plot device makes it a little more acceptable to me, weirdly.

Will has his parents, at least. I guess they are not close by, but I don't really remember, just the recent bonding with his dad.

Heh. Would it were so simple. It's a process, right? I'm much better than I used to be.

Yes, this.

Catching up

How fucked up was "this marriage works because you don't feel good about yourself". WHOA!

Possibly one of the truest and most hurty lines ever said on this show. Ouch.

I thought the new posts in here were going to be about Dark!Lily.

I kind of can't believe how much I'm hating Marshall this ep.

A heads-up for those who are into such things, Glee is one of the small fandoms on Crack Van this month and the first two (Puck/Rachael and Puck/Kurt) have been highly entertaining.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Did anyone else just see a commercial about getting your woman a pap smear for Hannukah or have I completely lost my mind?
