Coach Beiste is my fucking hero. I love her.

Indeed.

Glee is cracking my shit up.

Oddly amusing all the way through, although very much a "Christmas special." And weird. Very, very weird, all the way through. That's a compliment: I love when glee is willfully strange.

I loved Baby Its Cold Outside. Although I have a different view of it since I read someone refer to it as " kinda date rape-y ", which I can kinda see. (whitefonted as to not ruin for other people)

Vortex, I'd call it more seduction than date rape . Especially with the choreography. I was more bothered that the whole scene screamed "contractual obligation."

If Karen Carpenter were still alive, I'd demand that she do a guest spot to sing a duet with Rachel. And no "Poker Face" this time!

Brittany/Artie feels far more genuine than Finn/Rachel ever did. Although Brittany's personality seems to be shifting from "dumb blonde" to "naif."

The actual song totally is! She's all, "What's in this drink? I feel kind of funny... I guess I'll stay after all..." Total roofies.

It was written for the songwriter's wife in the 40s and she considered it their song, which kind of dispels the drugging-an-unwitting-victim aspect for me .

Plus, in my head I always hear Dean Martin singing it and my assumption is Baby ended up being far less inebriated than he.

Yeah, while I think you certainly can take the lyrics that way, it feels to me like a more modern interpretation that isn't necessarily justified by the context.

I always interpreted "what's in this drink" to mean that it was strong. I'm pretty sure that was a far more common meaning when the song was written.

Yeah, that's how I've interpreted it too.

There can also be a fine line between seduction and date rape . And agreed that if he drugged the drink , he falls on the wrong side of the line .

It's also worth mentioning that, when the song was written, date rape wasn't really recognized .

Oh, sure, I don't think it's literally true, but STILL.
