So I just realized that Kurt stalking Finn and Will "Courting" Emma happen mostly when Ryan Murphy is writing the episodes. And they are almost always painted as tragic heroes.

I'm slowly beginning to realize that Ryan Murphy might actually think that what they are doing is romantic. That's too many shades of unsettling.

I just saw this on Hulu. What was it that Santana said that made Emma shush her when John Stamos' character (forgot his name) said he saw a hole that he was trying to fill? I couldn't make it out.

I had an argument, well, a brief conversation, with someone over whether or not Will is creepy. They said he is always creepy, I said he is a loser, but isn't normally creepy and shouldn't be creepy.

I think that the writers may be failing to make it clear that Will is a loser. That may just be me, though. I keep thinking that the commercials that insist that he is the Good Guy, as well as the episodes where he is a raw force of understanding and nice-ness seem to convey something that is... well... wrong.

Also, a reviewer I typically adore brought up an interesting point: After everything that Glee is, has been, and seems to stand for, it seems more than a little eyebrow-raising that the whole cast would seem to agree by way of silence that "Transexuals are, by their nature, so creepy that people should feel uncomfortable playing Dr. Frank 'n' Furter". Nobody wanted to play him for the simple reason of gender-bending. The joke with Kurt was that Frank was "Too weird, even for him" (implied, not stated). After oh-so-many "Is it because I'm gay!?" episodes with Kurt, sseeming to abide these irrational fear of trannys seemed a bit off.

Love The AV Club write-ups and agree about the transexual thing. Is there a website that highlights the change in lyrics between the real RHPS and RHGS?

On to Mr. Shue. Will last season straddled the line between genuine nice guy to loser trying to recapture his glory days. I honestly think they should write Terri back in and see how they play off each other without the faux-baby mama drama. Right now, there is no external force holding Will back: Terri is gone, Sue is generally ambivalent towards Glee Club now, he already made friends with Coach Bieste. So, his pursuit of Emma is he's only real plotline this year so far and in trying to show his love for guidance counselor, the show is making him seem desperate.
