You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Hil, thanks for that. I was kind of stuck on that too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I thought it started, "life is a mystery..." I can't find a music video version that starts with "Oh heavenly father"- maybe on the album?

Isn't that Madonna's "Like a Prayer"?

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

ayup, it sure is. I'm not sure how I misread that. Did my brain go from, "Papa Can You Hear Me?" to "Papa Don't Preach" to "Like a Prayer"? Perhaps I need a little lie down. (needless to say the episode hasn't aired yet out here)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm eh on the episode, but Lea Michelle sang that song beautifully.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Glee, apparently I can't quite quit you. I thought Chris Colfer's performance was amazing, and they actually handled all the religion stuff with a lot more nuance than I expected, so kudos to them. Some of the stuff Sue said about her sister made me cringe a bit, but eh.

And I loved the kid who played mini-Kurt. He looked JUST like Chris Cofer.

“Not dead yet!”

I thought Chris Colfer's performance was amazing, and they actually handled all the religion stuff with a lot more nuance than I expected, so kudos to them.

And that's just it, isn't it? When they do that stuff well, they just absolutely hit it out of the park. Which is why it makes the less-than-stellar episodes so damned painful.

Some of the stuff Sue said about her sister made me cringe a bit, but eh.

See, maybe it's just that Jane Lynch can deliver a soliloquy on the phone book and make it work, but those things Sue said about Janie just felt so damned real. And I can't think of another actor right now who can imbue a single syllable with as many layers and as much meaning as Jane did with Sue's simple "No" at the very end.

I think some of the most beautiful music in the world is spiritual. 17-year-old-me didn't feel that way and I would have been the first one down to the principal's office to lodge a complaint. I'm a bit surprised that Kurt was the only atheist in class. Maybe the only one who felt he could speak up about it.

As a grown-up I do believe it's OK to teach the bible (as literature) in public school, just as it's OK to talk about The Last Supper in art class & therefore singing spirituals in glee club is just as OK. But there I go again- analyzing this largely non-sensical show.
