TV commentary:

Glee- Some more thoughts on last night's ep, now that I'm not distracted by the other shows I watch while trying to type this up. For one thing, I don't think the show was trying to say Kurt was at fault for what Kurofsky did. But I think its natural for the people around Dave to feel incredibly guilty and think they did something to trigger it, or didn't do something that could've prevented it. Also, people were complaining it was too sudden for Karofsky, he was being bullied for less than a week and it drives him to suicide? It wasn't just the bullying, as they revealed he's apparently had issues for a while, even if we didn't know his motivation in the beginning. They've made it clear on the show that Dave was a bully because he was a self-hater, and being outed like that is his worst nightmare come true. Add to that how alone he felt- his parents thought he could be "cured", Asimov apparently shunned him, the only person he thought he could talk to was Kurt, who wasn't returning his calls (but again, this in no way means its Kurt's fault for not talking to him), and between the first Scandals scene and the flashback Sebastian had, its clear Karofsky hadn't found anyone outside of Kurt. I mean, its a TV show, so things are generally going to be condensed, but I don't think this arc was too sudden, it was stretched out across two seasons.

That being said, I suppose the episode could've been a little too "very special episode" for people's tastes. Particularly with Sebastian deciding to stop being a dick because of what happened. It just seemed jarring and sudden. Also, it was weird for Santana to not be involved in this storyline at all. For one thing, they were each other's beards. If anyone knew what Dave was going through, its her. I mean, Kurt was out and proud. Before Santana was outed, they've had her talk about how scared she was of people finding out. And then when she was, her Abuela shunned her. Granted, Kurofsky's story has been tied in with Kurt, but I think there were obvious parallels they could have done with Santana, and like I said, its not like they were strangers.

I also think they ended up cramming a little too much in the episode. They probably could've separated Karofsky's suicide attempt from Regionals and the Finchel wedding, but I guess it did influence both those storylines. The wedding in particular, since it was moved up because "Life's too short".

In any case, after the E! poll and the past couple of episodes, I'm fully on the Faberry train. Like I've said countless times, the show makes it way too easy to read it that way. ( cut for your benefit )

And the new arc even lends itself to a Rachel/Quinn pairing, with the tragic accident leading them to re-evaluate their lives and realize they're feelings for each other. Heh, according to my sources, this accident will cause Quinn to "realize who she wants to spend her life with". However, I'm pretty sure its not Rachel, but it would be totally awesome and hilarious if the show did go that direction. But I'm sure there'll be some convoluted reason for her to fall for one of the other guys on the show. Because as much as I would be thrilled for Rachel and Quinn together, its a crackship.

Then again, I thought Robin and Barney on HIMYM, Jeff and Annie on Community, and Dan and Blair on Gossip Girl, hell even Pacey and Joey on DC were crackships early in those show's runs, and look what happened with all of those!

Oh, and I forgot, it really sucks we'll have to wait 6 friggin weeks to find out what happens.

So, its Ash Wednesday, which means the beginning of Lent. About to head to mass at the Catholic Center across the street from work.

Anyways, that also means meatless Fridays, which means sushi, non-meat topping pizza, and fettucine alfredo. I don't know why fettucine alfredo specifically, when there are plenty of meatless pasta sauces, but for some reason, I'm not too keen on meatless pasta other than fettucine alfredo.

Oh, I forgot, grilled cheese samiches! Are there any other tasty non-meat dishes I could go with besides the aforementioned?

TV commentary:

Being Human- Ha, when did Jacob from Lost get typecast as playing figments of people's imagination? Its amusing that Friday he came back as Sam's ChipLucifer (speaking of BSG, I'm amused that ChipSix never actually ended up being caused by a secret chip implanted in Baltar's head) and on this past Being Human, he was Aiden's ChipBishop.

Lost Girl- Honestly, Kenzi brought it on herself. I mean, who randomly just eats something lying around in a stranger's house without their permission? It could be poison, or some freak science experiment that only looks like food! And she knew she was going to the home of a Fae, and she knows the can be all creepy, so that would've been even more reason to not touch anything there.

Plus, the lady was cooking that soup the night before, and then she went to sleep and got sick. I figured they called in Doc lady hours later, and wouldn't she have turned off the burners by then (otherwise that would be a huge fire hazard!). And as such that would've been cold soup, and ew, who eats cold soup?!

NCIS- What's with the celebrity love interests being brought on these crime procedurals as of late? I mean, first Harry Connick Jr for Liv on SVU? Now Jamie Lee Curtis on NCIS?

Glee- I know what you're thinking, isn't he ever going to shut up about Rachel and Quinn already? ( So, here's a cut. )
