GLEE #34: Silly Love Songs

[GrayLinnorm]

The dog days are over! Glee is back and so is Raising Hope, the only good new show this season (that $#*! My Dad Says won the People's Choice Award for favorite new comedy is a travesty), so we have good shows to watch on Tuesdays again! As for this week's episode, it's Valentine's Day, so expect old couples to break up and new ones to form.

The "silly love songs" featured tonight are:

Rachel sings "Firework", originally performed by Katy Perry

Puck sings "Fat Bottomed Girls" originally performed by Queen

Artie sings "P.Y.T.", originally performed by Michael Jackson

Tina sings "My Funny Valentine", originally performed in Babes In Arms

The Dalton Academy Warblers sing "When I Get You Alone", originally performed by Robin Thicke

The Warblers sing "Silly Love Songs", originally performed by Wings<S><S><S><S>

Not a bad episode.

I've noticed a trend I'm not sure I like. When guys on the show get into a dust-up, it's just tussle that gets portrayed normally. Between Sylvester's ballistic reaction last episode, and this episode's incident,

the fight between Lauren and Santana

, it seems to me that women being violent are getting a cartoonish, hyperbolic treatment. The scenes have left me feeling more than a tad uncomfortable.

It is okay to have women get angry, or even lash out physically, but treat them the same as the guys, don't take them over the top.

Actually, it kind of bothers me in general to see them portraying violent confrontations involving students or teachers that, in the real world, would get the participants suspended, at the very least, if not expelled or fired. And yet, in the show, nobody ever really seems to suffer the consequences such actions should engender.

I think I can see forgiving the student dust-ups. I've seen (and worked in) some schools that have... adaptive views of student conflicts. But, in any school I know of, Sylvester's rampages through the hallways would be a fast route to dismissal and lawsuits.
