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.

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.

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.

There was an interview in the NY Times today where the producer said that that's what he was going for -- showing that a lot of teachers and schools aren't doing what they should.

I agree with Kathy that the kiss was just too much. I though his little speech was pretty decent, and he could have just ended it there. She doesn't need your pity, pretty boy.

t /guess it pinged me too

I agree that Schue needs to step up and do something about it. It's probably more accurate that he doesn't, but they weren't exactly shooting for accuracy when they created a 100% gay-friendly private school in western Ohio, either. Chris Colfer said something on Twitter about this being the first episode of their "bullying saga," so maybe they're planning to address it in the future.

I'm afraid I really only have one comment about Glee:

LET YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME IN MY SKINTIGHT JEANS BE YOUR TEENAGE DREAM TONIGHT

That number was scrumptious.

I'm pretty sure I just swooned for the rest of the hour, instead of actually paying attention.
