Why I heart Glee
May. 25th, 2010 10:46 pmThey have a writing team that delivers gems like this one:
"Even though I'm painfully shy and obsessed with death, I'm a really effervescent person."
Not only is this comedy gold, but it describes the way I see myself sometimes. And I dunno, I guess I like seeing my thoughts and feelings reflected in other people.
That's all. I'll go back to continuing that music meme in the next day or so. The next prompt required some thinking.
ETA: Okay that's not all. I just finished watching the full episode, and it's the first one that's really blown me away since they returned from their mid-season break.
That scene with Finn and Kurt's dad....I'm not even sure I have the right words to describe it. It just, it kept me completely riveted. I haven't seen something that emotionally charged on TV in a long, long time, and it made me long for the sort of fierce, protective love that you can only get from a parent.
And while I'm on the topic of parents, let me just add that the stuff with Rachel and Shelby was a double whammy as far as I'm concerned. I know all too well what it's like to grow up without the person you need the most, and so I really related to Rachel's desire to fill that gaping void. The way they addressed and sort of resolved her conflict was so heartbreaking, but also painfully, beautifully brilliant, if that makes any sense. Hurts so good, to coin a phrase from John Mellencamp.
On a happier note, I noticed that Weeve was paying attention and twitching his ears when the boys covered Beth. So maybe it's not so much that he enjoys emo music, he just likes stuff that's overly theatrical??? Hell if I know.
