like this guy:
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Art Crawl!!!
It was really uneven and although I get what they seemed to be trying to do - it just didn't work for me.
Plus - did everyone who is Jewish on the show just forget that fact? That just seemed weird to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Tom & Lorenzo brought up that very point.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
They should have addressed it. For example, apparently there was a huge surge in Christmas observance in Japan recently. Not that Japan had a huge surge in Christians, they just like the secular "holiday" of Christmas.
"Glee" perhaps could have spun it like that. It would have been interesting I suppose if done well.

Uh huh. That's why Rachel in the Dick Van Dyke Show stuff didn't seem off. But when they went all Bible on it, I at least expected to see Puck rolling his eyes or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can definitely see Rachel getting into Christmas for the glitter and presents, but seriously, just have a line about it.
Also, TLo reminded me of how weird/gross it was to sing "Tonight thank God it's them instead of you" to the people in the homeless shelter or whatever. I mean, seriously.
In short: Seriously.

Also the huge grins all through that song drove me nuts.

Because books.
"Tonight thank God it's them instead of you"
It baffles me how anyone ever thought that line was a good idea.

Really? I think that's possibly the most honest line in all of these type of songs put together.
