I feel the need to say something profound and awesome about Naya Rivera right now, but I cannot even think what. I have a complicated relationship with Glee, but Naya absolutely killed it with Santana's storyline tonight, and I do not feel confused about her at all.

Girl can sing, and move, and omfg, act. Plus, she's gorgeous. And kind of adorable.

Also, Mike O'Malley, how are you so freaking amazing?

I have a complicated relationship with Glee
Don't we all? :) I'm getting pretty good at ignoring the parts I don't like about Glee as long as they don't involve Kurt, Santana or Brittany.

I loved the Santana/Britt storyline in this ep, even if if it didn't get a happy ending like it should.

And Mike O'Malley, of course, absolutely brilliant.

Yeah, it's really hard not to have a complicated relationship with glee :(

I am still hoping for a happy S/B storyline. One never knows with this show.

I LOVE Naya, and I want her to be my girlfriend:) ♥

OH GOD ME TOO. WHY CAN THAT NOT HAPPEN?

She really surprised me with her acting tonight. I really hope this is one subplot that DOESN'T get abandoned/glossed over like so many others on this spastic show.

this show is insane. But I would dearly love for them to do this storyline justice!

I haven't seen American-time Glee recently, but I think I remember spoilers as to what you're talking about. However, SO MUCH YES to her being gorgeous and good at everything. Also, that video? SO ADORABLE. TALK MOAR NAYA *_____*

I am torn between wanting to gaze all heart-eyed at her forever and bang her :D

It is indeed a difficult conundrum :D

I'm not a big Santana fan, she's too random and inconsistent. However - I thought she was awesome last night. Both the song with Holly & Brittany, and then the conversation by the lockers blew me away.

I think pretty much everyone on the show is random and inconsistent, because Ryan Murphy is random and inconsistent, but I would love for more of THIS Santana :D

Chash tells me that even if I never manage to catch up with Glee, I should probably watch last night's, and I think I probably will. It makes me sad that Santana has been so woefully underused as a character, and that we hear so little of Naya Rivera's singing, since I think she has a really incredible voice.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT DOES NOT MAKE ME SAD? I WILL SEE YOU IN LESS THAN A WEEK!!!

YES. I still have it on my DVR and we can watch it when you get here if you want. THERE IS A FOAM PARTY, BECKA. A FOAM PARTY. WITH BOYS IN SCHOOL UNIFORMS. SINGING.

Plus all the amazing Santana/Brittany stuff.

ARE YOU HERE YET OMG.

Yeah, pretty much all of that. She was SO fucking good last night, my god.

I was WEEPING. just... She was SO SO AMAZING.

I have a complicated relationship with Glee,

Oh hey, me too. I have moments of wondering why I watch it then something will happen to catch me off guard and I find myself fighting back tears. (Or I start laughing like a laughy thing - usually at something Sue has said.)

It definitely gets to me sometimes. I am used to that being with Chris Colfer on screen, but Naya blew everyone out of the water this week. :D

OMG. Last night's ep was such a clusterfuck, except for Kurt and Burt (MIKE O'MALLEY I ONCE HAD DOUBTS BUT NO MORE, NO MORE) and Brittany and Santana. I was really impressed by ALL OF THEM, but Naya Rivera's face just destroyed me. She has SO MANY FEELINGS, bb. SO MANY.

(Aaaaaaaand now I want fic in which Mercedes is sad because Quinn's not her friend anymore and she TOTES had a secret crush on her and Santana is hateful because Brittany will not dump Artie for her so they hang out initially because there is nobody else but then THINGS HAPPEN. And perhaps they sing another fucking DYNAMITE duet like "River Deep, Mountain High". Perhaps.)

I would TOTALLY read ALL THE HOT MERCEDES/SANTANA FIC IN THE WORLD.

I have always thought Mike was kind of awesome, but EVEN MORE now.

I, too, have a complicated relationship with there are so many things and characters that I find boring and meh, but Santana is not one of them. Naya Rivera nailed it last night. I was just blown away by her very honest performance. Also, Burt Hummel should be everyone's dad.

I've never cared for her character much (Santana has always been a cold-hearted user), and her voice is too generic for me.

But last night? Oh, yes-- she totally won me over. I actually felt sorry for her, and I'd never have thought that was possible. It was always Brittany who wanted 'more' from their relationship until that moment, and how truly horrible it is to finally admit to yourself what you've been running from only to find that now, it's too late. :(

I hate how GLEE makes it impossible for me to just be like FUCK THIS SHOW and flounce, because then it has episodes like this one, and like. I just re-watched the Kurt/Blaine/Burt scenes and the Santana/Brittany ones, and if you watch JUST those scenes, it seems like a really serious, awesome show. That is apparently all Brad Falchuk, who we will refer to from now on as "the good writer."

But yeah, SANTANA. So amazing. And after seeing that little vid above, now I wish I'd incorporated her into the V-day story. She and Chris could have cried in her car together.

Oh, I love her so.
*rejoyces in her honour*]
Thank you! I am actually looking forward to the eppie now. He he.
*smish*
I hope all is well for you, my lovely!

She was one of the very, very few good things about that clusterfuck that was this week's episode. Her scenes and the Burt/Blaine and Burt/Kurt scenes were totally the pearls in a pile of shit. I want to transplant her, Chris Colfer, Mike O'Malley and Darren Criss into a show that doesn't otherwise SUCK. Glee does not deserve them. I am SO ANGRY at this week's episode I want to start stabbing things.

But, yes! Naya Rivera. She is fantastic. She is gorgeous. She made me cry. I love her voice. And I hate that I won't get to watch her anymore until she's in some other show because this last episode has shown me that Glee is really not worth it :/

ETA: Wow, I'm sorry for the word-vomitty rant :">:">
