On My Way
Discussion of the Glee Season 3, Episode 14 “On My Way” will be triggery for depression, suicide and self-harm. Maybe other stuff too. Let’s leave it at triggery.

You’re so nice, you’re not good you’re not bad you’re just nice’-Stephen Sondheim, Into the woods One of the defining aspects of Season 3 has been the notable absence of Will Schuster as choir director. We’ve seen him in his private life but his place in the kid’s lives has become increasingly redundant. They’re growing… [Read more…]

I love Glee in that fawning, bitchy way I felt about high school. I tune in every episode like it’s a new school day, filled with the promise of seeing good friends and learning something new, but reserving the opportunity to say something really rude about it after the final bell. I spent a lot… [Read more…]

But it is hard to watch how Mr. Shue uses Ms. Pilsbury’s mental problems as a means to control and abuse her. Neuro-atypical people or people with physical disabilities are far more likely to be the recipients of all kinds of abuse. Except, this isn’t how glee is portraying.

A lot of people really hate Wemma — the pairing of Glee teacher Will Schuester and guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury. I love it, but I was having a hard time figuring out why until recently. Part of it is undoubtedly nostalgia. The first half of the first season of Glee, which is when I started… [Read more…]

Or just flaming. Either way. Those of you who tuned into my rants last year know that this isn’t going to be so much a recap as a reaction. And obviously, full to the brim of spoilers. So many feelings about the Season 3 premier. Most of them are good. Let’s start with how happy… [Read more…]

This one’s from the Madonna Episode (S1 E15) It’s a funny screencap because it doesn’t really capture the moment very well, but after Kurt reads out the line (beautifully): Secretly, you’d love to know what it’s like, wouldn’t you? What it feels like for a girl. Mr Schuester gives him this thoughtful, lingering look. What’s… [Read more…]
