I don't often watch Glee (timing issues) but I'm trying to figure out whether to be pissed off or not. Theme was feminism and then in the final scenes they had two boys fighting/agreeing not to fight over a girl in front of her, without consulting her and I can't decide whether that was a deliberate juxtaposition of "they still don't get it" or just the writers don't get it. If the former, seemed pretty...subtle, and I fear the message is lost. If the latter, well, grr. I don't know why this is pissing me off tonight, but it is. I might take it differently if I watched regularly, but this just pinged wrong.

Thanks, Perkins--actually, I don't know if I've ever seen a Criminal Minds vid before. Now I want to hug the BAU. Ah, team.

just the writers don't get it.

I'm pretty sure they don't get it.

sarameg, Glee has lots of issues like that, where the writers have a character say something right and then do something wrong and it's really questionable whether it's the writers or the characters who don't get it. I really don't know how to interpret it.

Yeah, Glee is fluffy enough that you just don't know. But from the few I've seen, they seem to occasionally climb on hobbyhorses they've made from kindling and it all falls apart.

I can't do a meara, but I wanted to chime in--or, well, complain-- about the fact that my law degree has not resulted in an office for me.

OTOH, all the offices in my division (except the Captain's) have no windows. Only cubicles have windows, and I have a huge window looking west over the Bay, with a view of the Bay Bridge and SF and Mount Tam.

So I shouldn't complain too much.

In other news, I sauteed together onions and mushrooms and skinny asparagus and had it over pasta with parmesan and pepper, and it was good.

What's so special about Graeter's ice cream? Is it better than B&J?

I like to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and say they're writing for teenagers who are perpetually clueless. I think the Finn/Jesse pissing contest is no different than the Rachel/Preggers Girl pissing contest before the break.

Oh, and Sarameg: the writers DO NOT GET IT. On the race front, the ablism front, or the gender front.

Also, I find it hard to watch because I love the musical numbers and yet find most of the characters viscerally unlikeable. (Except for Kurt and his dad.) (Well, and Sue, but she's fun to not like. The rest are just unlikeable.)

I don't mind the characters being unlikable, really -- hell, I watched Nip/Tuck (also Ryan Murphy) to the bitter end. And I was bitter.

I get that; but with television, I need somebody I like. Or I need to like more people than I dislike, anyway.
