This episode of Glee is not irredeemable, hm.

It's interesting to read well thought out meta about Glee's issues with coming-out storylines, but I'm forced to admit that my reasons for giving up on it are nowhere near as noble. Though they are twofold. 1) Ever since I started watching Smash, Glee has been less of a priority as my musical-show needs are being filled by something that, even when it's not very good, is still better in nearly all respects. 2) It always kind of niggled at me that the Glee characters' reactions in the theme episodes - the mad love of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney, etc. - never really made sense to me with their ages/generation. Melissa loves the theme episodes, though, and in general is more into the show than I am. It finally struck me when I saw the promo where they're all "disco sucks" that this is because the show is completely aimed at Generation X. The complete disdain for disco is something people who actually remember it have, imo. It was one thing at the beginning where it was a high school show for non-high schoolers, but that's different than "a high school show that panders to a specific set of adults".

I'm watching the season premiere of Glee on Hulu, and in one scene Beiste goes from lipstick in one shot to none in the next to lipstick in the next. :/ Continuity, guys.
