Add in the fact that Artie was suprised that Brittany would act that way, while the show has never hid the fact that Brit does have this reputation (and even references that in the episode), it seemed like the writers' purposely put Artie in this big blind spot just to get to his speech at the end.

Indeed. Seems he likes to play the victim.

As for going along with Brittany's suggestion, I think the typical teenage male desperation to lose one's virginity was a big factor. It may have been sufficient to convince him the moment was 'special' enough, or forget he'd been holding out altogether. I know I've had moments like that.

Dude's a jerk.
I never said anything about love or them being in a deep relationship. I'm just saying that Artie's not guilty of somehow manipulating the stupidest girl in school into screwing him so that he could turn around and act like the victim. Whatever his rationalization, the sex clearly meant a lot to Artie and he believed that it also meant a lot to Brittany.

And yeah, he can be a total jerk at times. He's not completely innocent in the Brittany relationship, which he was clearly using as a means to try and make Tina jealous. But, again, I doubt he ever imagined that Brittany would screw him.


Goodbye, I guess.

On a side note, was anyone else impressed by how easily Heather Morris picked up Kevin McHale and carried him to the bed? I don't know of many women who could do that and not look like they are straining.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I felt that this was one of the weaker episodes. It seemed a bit "crowded" for me, with the various angles and could have easily been split into two.

However, I did like the Brit/Arty thing. (I was bawling when she was sitting alone pushing the meatball. What an incredibly sad and defining image of the character.)

I really, really want Brit and Arty to become a couple now.

Second, to Marcian:

They're pettty, petty people.

...i think thats all understandable being that it is supposed be high school. What are they, like, juniors or something? "Breadsticks" is probably the nicest place on Main Street that could be the only one that takes "reservations." Its probably the spot that the local Dads take mom out to dinner to make the night special or something. Its kids getting a chance to play 'house'.

Oh, and to the Artie thing, as a former teenage boy it is kinda hard to not be in the moment when a hottie cheerleader is on top of you. Like Artie said, there was a time when he wasnt even sure he could do that, not to mention i'm pretty sure Artie romantisizes things quite easily. Unfortunately the latter part leads to him feeling betrayed when what he thought was special but was really quite casual to Britney. I mean she was pretty direct in saying "you're on the football team now, so it was only a matter of time..."

Yes, so can drinking water in excess kill you. I just assumed we're operating under what is considered normal portions, not ludicrous amounts.
