Glee: All I Want for Christmas is My Legs or Brother Where Art Thou

^(That's how I feel about it sometimes too)

Let's talk about last night's Glee episode. I don't want to recap it because it will sound like I'm talking about several different Christmas movies and everyone who reads my blog will get confused (So that means I will confuse myself).

First off, why is everyone on this show a single child? Why do none of them have siblings? This is Ohio. People procreate more than this in the mid west. Is the creator trying to send a subliminal message to the public to stop over-population? It's mind boggling. Although, it does explain a lot of their behavior.

Rachel bothers me because it's hard to feel a connection with her character. It seems as though she faces many of the problems of normal teenagers as she is an ultra-competitive, self-conscious, kinda geeky attention whore. However, I find it really hard to like her as person. She is extremely inconsistent for someone who is so self-righteous. It would be easier to believe her inconsistency if they treated her like an actual teenager instead of Liza Minelli. Then I could believe her mood changes were about growing up and not about going through menopause or because the ridiculous plot needed her to act out of character. I mean she has been going on for two seasons about how much she loved Finn. It would have been much more in character if she had tried to one-up Santana by concocting some outlandish scheme involving sleeping with Finn instead of cheating on him with Puck. It just felt like a contrivance to keep them apart.

Brittany's parents remain an anomaly and the show needs to put these two interesting people on the air so we can all see the origins of Brittany S. Pierce. She is the best part of the show by far with one-liners so unexpected you choke on the English toffee you've been inhaling. Her parents must be such whackadoodles to have raised a teenager who believes that dolphins are just gay sharks and who continues to believe in Santa. I guess her parents never forgot to put her presents under the tree.

Kurt and Blaine have no obstacles in their way to be together, and I really can't think of a reason why they couldn't start dating. Is it that Kurt's new to the school? No, that's not a thing. Focusing on studying. No, Blaine singing at some Christmas thing and not in the library. Is one of them in a relationship? No, they are single that we know of. That's a free path to each other. So the show must be waiting for February sweeps. Otherwise, it would have been too quick for them to get together before the show through a wrench into their relationship and add a nice fellow named Thad into the mix to create a triangle.

For kicks, here's the real Wham "Last Christmas" music video. Freshly grated cheese:
