the first episode was lovely — both funny and warm, and a perspective that's sorely missing from any media. if anything, it should be cool for some to get an insight into and for others to feel validated. really stoked to watch the rest.

women sexually?"

"Brittany’s pitch has to do with how Kurt and Blaine made her feel like she had a place in high school. She admires them as trailblazers, but it’s not just admiration. They

this episode wasn't perfect, but there was finally some really good writing. and man, do santana and brittany have such an authentic chemistry. their breezy/flirty banter seems almost too good to exist in the glee universe. they're really good at going from sweet to serious to funny, and everything in between.

i've watched that movie several times, so it's probably a matter of taste/relatability. i went into it loving both casey and june and it definitely held up for me. it was a rare gem in the way it dealt with female friendships — something that's absolutely rare in films. so if that's not something that interests you or…
