Wow. A transgender student. I hope they handle this well.

OH HELL forking HELL YEAH.
I'm not sure I can really adequately explain how it feels to see a character whose gender is even kind of close to sort of like mine, portrayed in mainstream media, and actually being shown in a positive manner and not getting beaten up or murdered. This is just...not something that ever happens. See, I grew up and didn't even know that people like me existed. Even just the few minutes that it took for Glee to show a transgender character totally rocking out and being hirself and being like, fork you if you don't think I should be wearing a dress onstage right now...if I had seen this when I was a kid and known somehow that I wasn't living in a vacuum, seriously, my life could have been so different.
Yeah, it's entirely possible they're going to milk this and turn it into something forked up, but honestly...even just to have those few minutes that could seriously change some kid's life because they'd never seen someone similarly gendered to them on TV before and now they have...that just feels so huge to me right now, I can't even believe it. Of course it's also kind of sad that this is such a big deal, but...I dunno y'all, I'm just *sniff* having a moment here, don't mind me. :)

i watched and it was the kiddo from glee project... i believe it will only be a 2-episode arc, if i remember correctly.
Lard tubbington doing everyday household chores was pretty adorable, i have to say. other than that... not sure how i feel about everyone singing in their high falsetto bee gees voices all night. mercedes was awesome, though, and her red dress was gorgee.

I haven't seen the most recent one yet, but I just got done watching the previous episode (damn you, Hulu). Yeah, Cooper was the best part and here is the (improvised by Bomer and Criss) audition tape:
Does Glee just have really bizarre timing, or are they super opportunistic? They had a Whitney song the episode after she died, and they aired a BeeGees episode after it was announced that Robin Gibb is in a coma.

YES. I love WC (even more than Glee, actually) and therefore I loved that episode. The kiddo loved it too. Grawr.

I forking love Brittany. It's pretty much the only thing I still like about Glee. (Her and Lard Tubbington, obvs. In fact, I wish that Glee would just consist of unlimited episodes of Fondue for Two.)

One of the waitresses in our company cafe looks exactly like Brittany. I always want to go up and ask her to sing somehting, but she'd probably think I'm crazy.

I am very pleased to see a trans character that isn't a hooker who is already dead/will end up dead in an alley.
Lard Tubbington makes everything better, but I really think i'm gonna quit after this season. They should be introducing new characters to fill the senior slots for next year, but there's the Jesus kid and the kid going back to Ireland who barely gets to do anything, Blaine (which is probably why they're giving him more airtime)...uh...who else isn't a senior?

Alex performed in drag a couple times on The Glee Project, which I thought was nice to see in a show with such a young demographic. I'm happy that they decided to go in that direction.

Yeah, no shiitake. It's going to suck next season. No Britney and Santana? No Kurt? No Mercedes?!?
Still don't understand why they are getting rid of EVERY good character. I wonder how far the ratings will drop next year. I'm sure as hell not tuning in for the Sugar and Ireland show.

Heh, yeah. Although, I haven't seen Rory in the past two episodes. I miss him.
I don't want Kurt and Blaine to break up. :(

"When I'm with you, I want to fork you." Just say it!

Yes to this but my main problem was how they could have organised all the choreography and the entire number at Regionals without Jesse St James knowing, it was very odd.

Where is Unique? Come back!
I liked it. Good singing, good drama, that's how I like my Glee.
