You know how sometimes I can’t help but like Glee even though it kind of sucks, well that doesn’t happen when
the entire episode is about Blaine and Finn whining about how much their life sucks
because they were crappy boyfriends. It’s a week late because all of my craps
were busy hanging out with Kurt and Rachel in New York (I bet Quinn was
visiting that week).
Seriously though, I know that break-ups suck, but I mean if Quinn
can have a baby, go crazy and be temporarily paralyzed then I think Blaine can
suck up the fact that he cheated on his boyfriend. Before you get all social
justice on my ass I am well aware that depression is a disease (I have first
hand experience) but Blaine is not depressed he’s heartbroken, feeling guilty
and being a drama queen about it. Also if he wants to be a performer and he
doesn’t think he can act at being a love because he made screwed up his own
relationship then I really don’t he’s going to have much of a career.
But then Darren Criss sings and I close my eyes and image that
Blaine is not a thing that happened and Darren is just singing to be and for a
moment everything is all right.
Then we are back to the man pain because it’s another episode of let’s
make the middle-class cis white boy feel better about himself by showing how
accepting he is of people that are different. Come on Glee, this is getting embarrassing we need to talk about the fact
that if you were really inclusive you wouldn’t keep pointing out everyone’s
differences. This week the victim is Unique, she wants to play Rizzo (which is
a part she could totally rock), but they have to have a bunch of deep and
meaningful conversations about it because she was not born a she.
This show is actually worse that the shows that have only cis while
heterosexual couples because every time they feature a character that doesn’t
fit that standard they have to point it out and then pat themselves on the back
because they are so understanding… basically they are Finn. Because that’s what
it’s all about, it’s not actually about these token characters, it’s about how
these token characters make Finn look good – like that time Finn outed Santana
and Glee made the next episode all
about how accepting Finn is. This show really upsets me sometimes.
The thing is, this stuff isn’t even fair to Finn (and I do not like
Finn)… I mean what is so wrong with him being a mechanic? He seems to really
like doing it, and shocking as it seems he appears to be kind of good at it but
every time he suggests it as a possibly career path it’s dismissed because he
can do so much better. You know what, I would love to be able to be a mechanic,
that is a seriously awesome skill to have and it what crazy world is it a
career to be ashamed of? Burt’s a mechanic and no one has accused him of
selling himself short. I just don’t get it. How is hanging out at your old high
school six months after you graduated considered better than beginning an
legitimate career?
Glee I try not to apply logic to your absurdity but things are getting
out of hand – when I can’t even be bothered to hate watch, you know you’re
doing something wrong.
This is going to be short
list, but what was good about this ep:
- Kitty is hilarious, Marley is pretty the end.
What it needs more of:
- Quinn…
- Fuck it, let’s just nuke the thing and start over.
That’s all, I have this week’s recappy/review ready to post tomorrow
so we can move away from this episode and forget it ever happened… but yeah.
Feel free to argue with me if you think I got it wrong in the comments but I
may feel the need to argue with you.
Later Glee haters.
