The Blaine Sue thing goes beyond him not being able to sign the contract because he is a minor, she bullied and harassed him and put her hands on him. It is frustrating all the times she is not just verbally abusive to the students, but shoves and throws them around, she should have at the very least been fired and banned from working around students ever again! As for Ryder (I love his character even though his actor is garbage) I get it is not PC to call Unique a guy, but trans issues were not as widely known at that time, and they live in a backwards slow to progress town. Plus, for things uncovered in future episodes, I absolutely dislike the way Unique behaved and treated Ryder! Completely on his side!

2024-09-25 19:57:01 +0000 UTCAlthough she had a supportive family life she had been bullied so much , that an attractive man liking / loving her was a very big deal !

2023-06-15 03:58:34 +0000 UTCOf course it's not a trans person's job to educate.someone. But listening to a real person's experience does far more than researching online or whatever. You can do that too, but everyone's experience is different. We're not gonna get anywhere if we give up on people before even trying to make them understand. If they have been educated and are still an asshole then you can write them off.
Heida
2023-04-14 11:43:56 +0000 UTCWe're not gonna get anywhere if we give up on people before even trying to make them understand. Prejudice is just ignorance. So educate these people or tell them to educate themselves. Everyone deserves a second chance. If they have been educated and are still an asshole then you can write them off.
Heida
2023-04-14 11:37:40 +0000 UTCYes I do. I never said I didn’t. I was just saying I understand why he is doing what he’s doing.

2023-04-12 10:16:24 +0000 UTCmakes life easier for me. I need a "Santana" in every show I watch
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:13:32 +0000 UTCI dont think its the issue of what he does but more that he's keeping it a secret from her when theres clearly more emotion than just a one night stad between them
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:12:43 +0000 UTCSO.... was it unprotected?
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:11:49 +0000 UTCAlso if she thought she was pregnant then could that mean shes not using condoms?
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:10:34 +0000 UTChahaha! yes!
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:09:33 +0000 UTCI might have to agree with you on this ;)
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:09:12 +0000 UTCtheres just something about a man coming into his power thats just so sexy!
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-12 10:08:03 +0000 UTCExactly if his 18th birthday is in the fall. I’m Ohio (where I’m originally from) at the time when this took place they used to have a birthday cut of when you could begin school. So ppl who’s 5th birthday was after September 30th , like myself were forced to start school the following school year which means technically if this is the case for him he would have been 18 before he signed it.

2023-04-11 01:27:00 +0000 UTCWhat a weird perspective to think that if you don't understand something than being mean about it is "understandable" I don't understand furries but I have never told a furry that it was biologically impossible or that they didn't exist or that they weren't a furry. Because none of that is true or productive for them. What you are trying to say is that people should get a free pass for being mean about their narrowmindedness until they feel bad about it. No one said what Kurt did was okay. Just because he is gay doesn't mean he's can't be transphobic.
Cory James
2023-04-11 01:26:04 +0000 UTCLove this ep with finn and santana and he was so hot being angry not gonna lie haha and the punch like yesss i loved it. Him saying stay away from my future wife Im like dam m i dunno why but i loved that like yes get it
megan vickers
2023-04-10 08:35:35 +0000 UTCNot a fan of the choices most of the characters made this episode, but I admit, this episode was the first time I thought Finn was kinda hot..JS…!
dville
2023-04-10 02:24:50 +0000 UTCtbh I kind of shipped Finn and Marley... is that weird? I mean they're characters are at most 3 years apart in age. and maybe its because I never liked the Rachel and Finn coupling too because just like many people I always saw Rachel as an extremely self-absorbed and selfish person. Yes, I know that Rachel had her selfless moments, but they were rare. Marley and Finn had a very sweet and supportive relationship in the scenes that we saw of them together.
SuBin Kim
2023-04-10 02:13:28 +0000 UTCI agree, sex work isn't the problem really. It's about the fact that Rachel wouldn't have knowingly dated someone who was actively having that much sex with that many people while dating and sleeping with her. I also agree about that mashup
Cory Stanish
2023-04-09 22:04:00 +0000 UTCI remember the first time I watched this episode, my roommate joked, "So, Brody's big secret is that he works at a fancy club where rich people pay to act out musical numbers?"
Cory Stanish
2023-04-09 21:25:02 +0000 UTCWith Brody being a sex worker - that's fine. Sex work is legitimate work. Some people turn to it when they don't feel they have another choice, yes. But there's also absolutely nothing wrong with being a sex worker because you enjoy it. I don't know where Brody falls exactly, maybe a mix of both. The issue is lying to Rachel. No matter the reason for sleeping with other people, you need to be open with your significant other, *especially* if you're sleeping with them. Open communication makes for a stronger relationship, but it's also a health concern. Santana's herpes line was played for a laugh, but STDs are a serious topic, and no matter how careful you are (and it seems like maybe Brody isn't careful?) there's always a chance. And the more you have sex, the higher the chance is. So Brody lying to Rachel isn't just mean, it's irresponsible. Also, I think I'm the only one, but I absolutely love the Super Bass/I Still Believe mashup. It's one of my favorites.
mightstill
2023-04-09 20:18:42 +0000 UTCsomething I wanted to add that I don't think anyone has mentioned: I'm pretty sure Rachel thought Finn got her pregnant at the wedding. That was the vibe I got from her checking the dates in her calendar. (yes I watched this reaction twice LMAO)
Cory James
2023-04-09 10:14:25 +0000 UTCBut do you also understand him lying to Rachel while claiming to be in a mature open relationship and questioning who SHE has sex with? Cause that is the actual problem.
Cory James
2023-04-09 10:12:07 +0000 UTCSo unpopular opinion, but I understand why Brody does what he does. He needs money, and escorting is fast money. And it's not always about sex. Sometimes it's just lonely widowed women who want someone to talk to and go out with.
Tyler Mckenzie
2023-04-09 05:44:54 +0000 UTCI was living for you calling Brody "Donkey Face" during your end commentary. Too good. Bless Santana and her nicknaming skills.
Megan Christina
2023-04-09 05:20:06 +0000 UTCYeah. I felt like Finn basically slapped her with his lips.
Jennifer Adame
2023-04-09 04:54:28 +0000 UTCRegarding the kiss, I equate it with the kiss between Lydia and Stiles in Teen Wolf when he is having a panic attack and she kisses him to snap him out of it. Same motivation, same result here. Even if Finn couldn't explain why he did it. Emma was spiralling into a panic attack and he deflected/shocked her out of it.
Jill
2023-04-09 03:32:02 +0000 UTCIf he started school late, took a break or was held back a year it would make sense if he was already 18 but if none of those things happened he would have been 18 in January at the earliest and she's saying he signed it in December
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 22:28:37 +0000 UTCI didn't know this ... God and I think that the finale that Rachel got is so good! not saying more because spoiler but it is soo good ! For a long time, I refused to watch the last season because I felt it wasn't necessary to go there since everything that happened but now ... I really like it it feels even real
yasna gonzalez sanchez
2023-04-08 22:21:02 +0000 UTCI know the situation between Blaine and Sue is just ridiculous but I'm basic bitch I love that cover. I would've liked it even more if it wasn't a match up with a Mariah song it sounds weird.
yasna gonzalez sanchez
2023-04-08 22:15:24 +0000 UTCOh god - I agree there. The catfish storyline was useful for exactly 1 episode: this one. They should have abandoned it just exactly where it ended here.
Jennifer Adame
2023-04-08 22:05:09 +0000 UTCIt was definitely around the same time. I don’t remember if it was the same day though.
Jennifer Adame
2023-04-08 22:03:23 +0000 UTCI get where you are coming from but that feels a bit reductive. Even Kurt (who was never actively mean to Unique) did not fully understand her or where she was coming from when they met. Unique came down on him about it at the time, and I felt like they had a greater understanding afterwards. Yes Ryder was rude to Unique, but he didn’t chase her down and terrorize her. If no one is allowed room to grow and change into better people than they were, how can we ever hope for a better & more inclusive world? Ryder got a new perspective on the issue and started to understand Unique a little better. To me, that does deserve some forgiveness for past slights.
Jennifer Adame
2023-04-08 22:01:58 +0000 UTCTrue he should have signed it but depending on when his birthday is he technically may have been 18 already so she could technically possibly hold it over his head
BRENDAN FOREMAN
2023-04-08 21:48:26 +0000 UTCI agree with that. I felt like Brody was 100% in the wrong for not telling Rachel, but I also didn’t like the fact that Glee made such a mess of a serious topic, which is that some people have turned to sex work just to pay for school or get enough money for food or for needed things and not because they enjoy it. It’s a harsh reality that I felt like they could have explored more. I don’t know, I just felt like the story was that Brody was in the wrong for being a prostitute, and he clearly felt like he had no choice. I felt like Brody was in the wrong for keeping that info from his serious girlfriend, and also possibly having unprotected sex with her (hello she DID think she was pregnant at that end of the last episode). I will say I hadn’t thought of how his ability to smooth talk his way out of trouble with Rachel could be seen as abusive, but I get Audrey’s point and think it’s definitely a possibility. Also, why why WHY did Santana have to bring Finn into it? It was for sure a step back for him and he could have gotten in big trouble for starting that fight and trashing the hotel room. I WISHED for it to be Rachel but I would have even taken Kurt finding out the truth over Finn. To me it was creepy and a bad move all around.
Jennifer Adame
2023-04-08 21:41:46 +0000 UTCWith Brody's situation, I've never had hate towards him. He's in a situation where he needs this job just to stay in the school he wants to be at. He doesn't fully view it as something that would stop him from falling in love with Rachel, because this would be like doing an acting job where you have to kiss your costar. Now, he should have been upfront about it the second it started getting serious with Rachel, because she deserves to know the whole situation of her partner. I think Rachel if she knew, would have tried to stick with it for a little longer, but would have left him because it's an uncomfortable situation for her. Brody is only her third boyfriend and she's 19. She's still got a lot of her insecurities.
Turnip Crazy
2023-04-08 19:37:47 +0000 UTCI wouldn't have forgiven him, but I would maybe see that he's never experienced something different, and he just needs to understand it more. He only lashed out because his response to something new or unknown is to be defensive. The whole catfish storyline shouldn't have been his punishment though.
Turnip Crazy
2023-04-08 18:46:39 +0000 UTCSorry Danny, Audrey's background setup looks way better! :D
Romy
2023-04-08 17:40:20 +0000 UTCUnique is so much better than me because there's no way I'd forgive Ryder that fast 🫠
James
2023-04-08 17:19:28 +0000 UTCRandom fact but the day they shot the plane with the banner saying Blaine was on the bottom was Darren’s birthday. I could be wrong but I think it was the same day some fans hired a sky writer to write happy birthday for Darren. I could be mixing things up though.
Ashley
2023-04-08 17:00:52 +0000 UTCGood guess. It probably is 🥶 ❤️ 🐍. I’m glad you responded so I didn’t have to to wonder. 🤔 😉
desiderata770
2023-04-08 16:46:44 +0000 UTCAlso you can be apologetic and STILL have done something transphobic. When you do something shitty being apologetic about it doesn't change the fact that you did something shitty. All you can do is apologize and try to fix it moving forward
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 15:28:20 +0000 UTCThis thing is though, if your open to learn and understand then go out and learn, don't just turn to being rude and disrespectful. Even in 2013 there were resources to learn if you wanted to. The option shouldn't be that a trans person has to educate someone who is actively being rude and disrespectful to them in order for that person to change their ways if said person really does want to understand. They can go find information and then go to the trans person to clarify anything they need clarified or ask the trans person if they're willing to educate them before turning to being rude and disrespectful It was 2011 when I found resources online about what trans was, helping me on my journey to transition and there was even more information available 2 years later in 2013. That being said I don't dislike the character of Ryder because of this or even what happened with Blake and Melissa (where speaking of that pitiful Instagram post he tried to blame Melissa for him abusing her) but it does extend to real life I guess. I just really don't like that Ryan Murphy kept saying the point of the Glee Project season 2 was to find someone that you don't normally see on TV and then Blake won 🤷♂️
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 15:24:14 +0000 UTCLolol now I feel silly. Thank you!
Talia Shapiro
2023-04-08 15:11:17 +0000 UTCRyan Murphy has said that it was always supposed to be a satire which people seem to forget. To be fair to people though it did tackle some serious things in a non satire way so not surprising
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 14:58:39 +0000 UTCEpisode 19 is his last episode before he went into rehab
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 14:56:44 +0000 UTCIt would have been in the future but yeah. I always had problems with it cause Rachel wanted to be own Broadway, and maybe do some other acting stuff which she can't really do in Lima where as everywhere has teachers. So it feels a little too much like a woman having to give up her dreams to get the guy. I know a lot of people love Rachel and Finn together and I get it but I feel like in reality it wouldn't work in the long run. Rachel thrives in a big city like New York and at heart Finn is a small town guy who wouldn't do well in the bug city. One of them would have to make a huge compromise that is going to affect the core of who they are as people and while yes a relationship requires compromise you shouldn't have to make one's that huge and about who you are
Jay Johnston
2023-04-08 14:51:27 +0000 UTCI think Rachel's denial of Brody's behavior, while it obviously doesn't stem from family issue, has more to do with her low self esteem. She never really had guys into her before Finn, and Brody is really only the 2nd "real" relationship she's been in, especially sexually, so she still has a lot to work out in that aspect I feel.
Kenyatta (KD) Smith
2023-04-08 13:40:50 +0000 UTCTbh it's bullshit to give someone a pass as "not understanding" when they are actively mean about it to the person they don't understand. There are no passes for that. It doesn't matter if you get it later. You showed who you were by acting like that in the first place.
Cory James
2023-04-08 13:11:53 +0000 UTCCold Hearted Snake i guess😊
patrick
2023-04-08 10:45:20 +0000 UTCEW! He wanted Rachel to go back to Lima with Finn? What!? Thats terrible!

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:14:44 +0000 UTCIn real life, I wouldnt be OK with Sue, but since it's a TV show the funny jokes make me still like her. However lately shes just bee mean and not that funny
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:10:21 +0000 UTCit IS catfish!!! I knew it!!
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:09:26 +0000 UTCyea writing him out makes sense as to why it was so oddly done
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:08:45 +0000 UTCYea I do feel like Sue's character has become more mean and not really funny anymore
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:05:44 +0000 UTCim excited to see what happens
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:03:53 +0000 UTCSomething so sexy about a shy guy suddenly coming into his power as a MAN IN CHARGE!
Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)
2023-04-08 10:03:37 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Glee was never supposed to be "real". It has always been crazy and I never understand why people find certain storytelling, or stuff that happens, weird or out of place. I mean, its a show where they break out in song whenever they want😂
patrick
2023-04-08 10:00:18 +0000 UTCAaaah this episode!! Words cannot describe how much I love Santana, and what a good friend she is. And Finn, ugh! He was absolutely sexyyy & hot in that last scene😍 when he said "Stay away from my future wife", I honestly never will not tear up tho. Did it again watching your reaction. Man, I miss him and Naya.. The feud-song between Blaine and Sue is sooo good. I weirdly love Sue Minaj so much😂 Cold-Hearted is in my Top 5 Santana songs. She so damn attractive in that scene (than again, she always is😅) I feel like now you can understand why so many people dislike Mr. Shue. I'm pretty sure this EP made me realize that I don't like him. He's just so... ugh. He handled that situation like a 5 year old. I understand him, kinda, but still. And, lastly, I don't like the whole story arc with Ryder and that anonymous girl. It only last a few episodes and never really gets resolved. But i dont wanna give too much away Anyway, only one episode left until a really great EP. Can't wait to see your reaction😍😍
patrick
2023-04-08 09:42:41 +0000 UTCi also remember the place I went to learn about filmography is the place they shot at for the college scenes with Finn.
makayla
2023-04-08 08:59:09 +0000 UTCI have watched this episode at least 10 times and I still forgot about the plot twist with Blaine and the Cheerios.
makayla
2023-04-08 08:54:28 +0000 UTCI know it's not that deep, I just think a lot of people's behaviour is excused because they're 'funny'.
Heida
2023-04-08 08:47:37 +0000 UTCI disagree when people say Ryder is transphobic and therefore cannot be forgiven. Yes, he was rude and disrespectful. BUT THEN he apologised and was respectful, but honest in saying that he doesn't understand. I think we need to stop expecting people to just change overnight. Knowing that they are open to learning and understanding is enough. Also, remember this was in 2013 when people weren't talking about pronouns like they are today. I really think since the truth came out about Blake (Ryder) it clouds some people's judgement and they can't separate the character from the actor. You probably know but Blake and Melissa (Marley) were married and after they divorced Melissa came forward about him being abusive. He kind of admitted it in some lame ass statement on Instagram but basically got away with it. Santana's performance of Cold Hearted Snake literally made me question my sexuality. I was OBSESSED with it. I understand why people were surprised when Santana brought Finn instead of Rachel (I was), but you made a good point that she probably wouldn't have listened anyway. She's in denial and doesn't want to believe it. I also know some people had an issue with Finn's line 'stay away from my future wife!' when they weren't even in a relationship, let alone engaged. I get it, it was a bit weird. But it kind of makes sense cuz Finn knew they were gonna end up together (or would have😔). I think Will gets a lot of undeserved hate, like he's not evil and he's not a bully like Sue. But I can't stand him in this episode. I also think it's out of character for him to be this petty and childish and it was SO overdone like you said. Why didn't Will just listen to what Finn had so say? And why was Emma not even a part of the conversation? So odd. We got the Backstreet Boys/N'Sync mashup out of it though! I LOVED that scene with Marley and Finn. I feel like they could've had a great friendship. And I wish we could've gotten to see Finn as a real teacher. Lastly, this is the first time where I just found Sue absolutely intolerable. She wasn't even funny, just annoying and VERY inappropriate. But the twist with Blaine in the end was genius!
Heida
2023-04-08 08:39:17 +0000 UTCNever said she was a good person, Sue is the villain of the series i just enjoy her character that's all, it's a fictional show so it's not that deep lol
Gigi
2023-04-08 08:06:07 +0000 UTCSue is funny yes, but she's also a bully who physically and mentally attacks people, threatens and bribes people, sexualises minors (like Blaine in this episode) and so much more. Will is bad, especially in this episode, but Sue is a LOT worse.
Heida
2023-04-08 07:57:10 +0000 UTCGood insight into Rachel. But I disagree about Ryder, because he apologised and was respectful but honest in saying that he doesn't understand. I think we need to stop expecting people to just change overnight. Knowing that they are open to learning and understanding is enough. Also remember this was in 2013 when people weren't talking about pronouns like they do today.
Heida
2023-04-08 07:51:43 +0000 UTCI love Santana in these few episodes. Yeah she’s always presented as the mean b*tch but you can really see the good person she is behind all that here. Rachel needs to pull her head out her ass and see what’s going on 😂 to be honest, I think they just used the Finn Emma kiss as an excuse to write out Finns character for a while because Cory was going back to rehab
Sophie R
2023-04-08 07:44:14 +0000 UTCI agree with you but about the catfish, please don't spoil it for Audrey!
Heida
2023-04-08 07:33:03 +0000 UTCThis is only the second time I’ve watched this one, it’s sad seeing the direction the show may have been looking to go before Cory headed to rehab. The Finn kiss was just a plot contrivance since they knew they may need to write people out for awhile.
Jonathan
2023-04-08 07:31:37 +0000 UTCGosh i hated the catfish storyline and Mr Schue is just a bad character in general, he's immature and inappropriate around his students. I find Sue absolutely hilarious even though she can go a bit far at times lol. Donkey face is nearly gone so we can finally dive into the nyc trio.
Gigi
2023-04-08 06:32:45 +0000 UTCSantana was right. The way that Rachel reacted to possibly being pregnant should have been her sign to reexamine what she actually wanted in her life. Will's over-the-top reaction to Finn honestly screams insecurity. Not only is he simultaneously expecting Finn to act like a grown adult but he's also treating him like a naughty child that needs to be punished. His constant jabs and passive-aggressive actions and remarks are childish and it explains why he chose a teenager as his best friend. This is a man who NEVER left William McKinley High School. He went there and now he teaches there. Something his ex-wife Terri pointed out to him in the earlier seasons too. He is constantly trying to hold on to that high school moment. The moment he really started to see more of Emma was when she showed him that clip of him winning nationals and reminded him how happy it made him. She really encouraged that part of him unlike Terri who wanted him to grow up (in the wrong way). Ryder's transphobia towards Unique made it impossible for me to actually like him. He had some good moments as a character and I think he might have grown eventually but that moment killed his character for me. It was just so nasty and to have Jake sit there and go "wow...you're a douchebag." Like...how does Jake get it and he doesn't? I had the exact same problem with Kitty but she was given room to develop more as a character, I guess, cause I like her more than Ryder. Also lol I just realized the song they sing at the end is the same song that Brody was singing in the shower when Santana stole his pager. You mention Rachel has a healthy relationship with her parents which is true. But...those were the only people she had a healthy relationship with. She spent her high school years abused by the people around her and she has already shown a habit of clinging to people that finally show some care for her. They made her feel unlovable for so long that now when she gets shown a little bit of love, she refuses to let it go cause she doesn't want to be in that place again emotionally. She even treats Kurt like something she has to keep sometimes.

2023-04-08 06:25:33 +0000 UTCFinn doesn't stay for Rachel he does go off and do his own thing however there is only one more episode he's in before he passed away which is also why the the whole feud of the kiss is so frustrating that it got blown way out of proportion especially since they are both adults. on another note. Santana handled Brody very well and Rachel has a lot to thank her for because Santana did a lot of the things Rachel didn't have the guts to do or like you mentioned even think about (although I don't condone Santana going through peoples belongings). as for unique I love having that trans representation and the idea that uniques truth is her own was great and some of Ryders way of thinking upset me also somewhat cause it reminds me of my dads ideology with me being trans (especially when the metaphor about dressing up like a bunny doesn't make you a rabbit cause my dad likes to use metaphors like that IT SUCKS) but one thing I love is that Ryder apologizes to unique as well and that they kind of band together to have uniques back as she figures herself out. it also makes me grateful for pronouns nowadays cause I feel like in a lot of ways that makes it easier for people to have that respect to a trans person. however that being said knowing who the catfish is it does make the apology bittersweet because he would not have apologized having known who it was especially since the catfish initiated it. anyway those are my thoughts and im excited cause I've been binging the watch parties for weeks to catch up now that Im a Patreon (im still bouncing around a bit but almost watched from season three to here in two week LMAO) I love watching the reactions and I can't wait for more <3

2023-04-08 06:21:11 +0000 UTCYou really have to suspend disbelief on these last few seasons. Especially with Sue in season 5 and 6. Enjoy the absurdness and throw reality out the window. She does and says some crazy stuff.

2023-04-08 05:46:04 +0000 UTCUnfortunately I think there is only one more episode of Finn before he passed away. 😔 His tribute episode is at the beginning on season 5.

2023-04-08 05:30:04 +0000 UTCNaya would have killed that rap...and yes, keeping that from Rachel is completely hypocritical since he was the one who was all about being mature and honest about their relationship and he questioned her about whether she slept with Finn at the wedding as soon as she got back

2023-04-08 05:24:25 +0000 UTCI love this episode. First, the whole Finn/Mr. Schue feud was definitely overdone. This is just another reason why Mr. Schue is definitely not well liked in the fandom. He is barely more mature than the students he's teaching. Emma definitely should be part of the conversation. In a way, it also shows the growth that Finn's character still needs to do because he wasn't recognizing that McKinley wasn't the healthiest place for him to be at all. It speaks to his character's immaturity that he needs something so toxic to push him away from this situation and then it took Marley's insight to push him in the right direction. Good on Marley for showing some maturity beyond her years through her talk with Finn. The Sue/Blaine storyline was just unnecessary and added nothing to the storyline in my opinion. Sue was doing what she does best, which is bully people into doing what she wants, but at this point it's just making Sue a caricature of herself and I don't like it. I liked the balance of the Ryder/Unique storyline and how they used it to form stronger bonds with each other. I was really surprised to see the turnaround in Kitty, but I like that they're giving her character more depth. Now to the Donkey Face/Rachel storyline. I expected Rachel's reaction to not be favorable because of course she's not ready to face the truth about him yet, but Kurt's reaction really saddened me. He was on Santana's side just last episode about something being off with Donkey Face and now he's ready to kick her out and side with Brody? The whiplash is terrible with that swing. Santana taking the mantle of facing her friends with hard truths is the mark of a true friend in my opinion. It's easy to be there when times are good and fun, but it's when they get hard that is the test of true friendship. I have a saying, "True friends are the ones who walk in when everyone else walks out." Well, Santana continually walked into trying to get the bottom of that situation even after her friends kicked her out. A lot of people think that she should have sang "Coldhearted" to Rachel, but like Audrey pointed out, it would have been lost at this point because Rachel isn't ready to face the truth and Santana knew that. She knew that singing it to Brody would put him on edge and when people are on edge or anxious, they make mistakes and she knew that he would slip up, which he did. Santana is definitely cunning and strategic, well ahead of her years in that respect and she knows that playing the long game is what's needed in this situation, even if it did get her kicked out. Bringing in Finn was a bit shortsighted in my opinion, I really wish she would have called on Mike (I still think she was secret besties with him) or maybe even Puck, but Finn may have been the only one available on short notice and she would have probably been a little bit desperate to get the Donkey Face situation handled since she didn't have anywhere to live. I'm just glad that she didn't try to handle it alone. I would love having more friends like Santana in my life. I think that Naya is really starting to insert more of herself into the character because the way that her costars talk about how she was on set is some of the stuff that we're starting to see in Santana's growth.

2023-04-08 04:16:03 +0000 UTCI wish they'd left the rap for Coldhearted Snake in because the world needed more of Santana rapping. I hate hate the donkey face thing. Yes, he's a sex worker, which is fine, but keeping it from Rachel is not, especially knowing that they're having unprotected sex. Sue as Nikki Minaj is just...iconic. I just realized that Katie is Virginia Gardner! She played one of the main characters in Marvel's Runaways and a few movies.

2023-04-08 04:07:40 +0000 UTCSue has become unbearable this season. I’m glad Finn is going to do his own thing now. It bothered me how quickly Kurt and Rachel put Santana out of their apartment knowing she had no one else there; for Donkey Face of all people. Fun fact: The red head dancing during Santana’s song is one of Beyoncé’s dance captains.

2023-04-08 04:03:54 +0000 UTCI was following you with the whole “Finn/Emma Dilemma”, and I absolutely think that Shue was taking things too far during their feud. However, I don’t think Rachel being in that hotel room when Donkey Face showed up would’ve changed anything, and the lesser of 2 evils was Finn and Santana. The Ryder/Unique situation: I love that Unique is standing her ground, and gaining support from Kitty, of all people. The Blaine/Sue drama: I get that he’s going in to spy on their network, but I really don’t like this or some of the later things that happens, especially involving Sue. Overall, there’s an episode coming up, episode 18 to be exact, that will give me flashbacks, and not in a good way. It’s also a VERY sensitive episode, so there should be some warning beforehand.

2023-04-08 03:24:55 +0000 UTCFinn and Marley's relationship is really cool, the support they gave each other. Too bad they didn't do a duet, because their voices go so well together, as we heard in Don't dream its over

2023-04-08 03:18:56 +0000 UTCHow to Be a Heartbreaker (Brody and Rachel song) is an awesome song originally by Marina and the Diamonds I'm glad someone else brought up the whole contract and Blaine being a minor thing. It's always been a big problem for me with this episode Finn's "stay away from my future wife" line has also always been another big problem for me seeing as though at this point him and Rachel are barely talking too. However I think it's because Ryan Murphy's original ending for Glee had Rachel going back to Lima and settling down with Finn. As a trans person I like how they treat Unique's storyline though and another character's (though I know there's some people who don't like the other person's storyline) in season 6. They put in elements that trans people both young and old can relate to and like you said don't do it in an over the top way like they do with many other things.
