Yes.
Also, why is transvestite okay, but not transexual?
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I took it as being one doesn't mean that you're the other, so I really didn't mind them changing that lyric.

Also, why is transvestite okay, but not transexual?
Mike also said "trannie," didn't he? Maybe they couldn't use "transvestite" and "transexual" in the same chorus. I don't know -- my brain kept tripping over it, because Mercedes sang it perfectly fine (although geez, that elevator came down way too fast) but the altered lyric threw me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Isn't it kind of freaky that Meatloaf looks so much better these days than Barry Bostwick?
I didn't watch Glee; was Bostwick in it? I saw him over the summer in person, he looked damn good. Tall, too.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You can say "pelvic thrust" but not "seat wetting"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fuck.
As I watched the episode I was going with it. I could see affection for RHPS and see how the censorship issues would crop up in the context of the school.
But it just...fucked it up so badly. By the end I wanted to smash Will and Ryan Murphy in the face with a ball-peen hammer.
Shit, Glee's got so many unexamined issues. It can freak out about objectifying the boys but it totally exploits the girl-on-girl of Santana and Brittany.
And they don't do "Don't Dream it Be it"? The rallying cry freak-song of all-time?
And they practically endorse Sue's argument about not leading the kids to this so-very risque material, when obviously the teen characters are completely sexualized, and RHPS functions as a gateway cultural experience for people to discover their non-normative sexualities?
Gah. Fuck you, Ryan Murphy. Fuck you, Glee.
I did like Emma's number though.

As much as I hated that episode more than any other episode of Glee, it was worth it for Emma's song.

That was the song Jayma auditioned for Glee with.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
she really was awesome. I see why she got the part.

I knew that. And I was saying, "please oh please oh please..." when I realized what Will was asking her.
I also knew that Chris Colfer begged to play Riff Raff because he has the best part and they took both his high notes and gave them to Brad?!!1!
