Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Did you see the promo for next week?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, I try not to watch network-made promos since they're usually annoying. Hold on.

...I don't even know what the hell all that was.

I was more floored by how the shot pushed in to the fortune teller's bindi.

Oh, yeah, that's their standard thing, and yeah, uh, yeah.

No comments on tonight's Glee?

I'll just say that, as good as the Kurt storyline was, the Coach Bieste stuff pinged me real hard, and I'm really hating Shue more than I did before. She didn't need nor really want your pity kiss, you bastard. (And believe me, I know my pity kisses.)

I know. I have really disliked Shue this season. I wonder if they are doing it on purpose. I did think that he was as kind as he could have been when he was talking to Coach the first time.

Very offputting.

I hated the stuff with Coach Bieste. I hate that name. I hate that they think that's funny. I hated Shue's kiss.

They creators really don't like women, and have extremely reactionary, kind of shitty values.

For all the talk about outsiders and misfits, they constantly enforce the shallowest status quo and these characters are not good people.

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

yeah, I'm not sure what to do about this show. The dichotomies in storyline have always been there, but this ep really exemplified how well they can do Curt's story and how poorly they can do stories featuring/about women. Bieste's was really atrocious. And worse yet? Totally unnecessary.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I wasn't happy with a lot of things on Glee last night, but I will say that I did like the realism of the football player's behavior not changing at the end. That's what really would have happened. It would not have been all rainbows and flowers and he would not have started avoiding Kurt or becoming his best buddy. He and "the Fury" would have continued their abuse, and probably escalated (as shown by the fact that Kurt got shoved hard enough to fall down the last time).

I am disturbed, however, that Shue's only reaction was to give him some water and say "is there anything I can do". Yes, asshole, there IS something you can do. You are a teacher, you can punish this student for his behavior. You may not be able to stop the homophobia, but you can affect its manifestation on YOUR student.
