It's like television decided that since I'm not going to get a new episode of TVD this week, every other show is going to be fantastically awesome this week.

First, there was Castle, which was its usual fun frothiness with bonus steampunk. (Although no Firefly reference, what?) I totally approve of Beckett's and Alexis' romantic interests (and isn't it adorable how Alexis' whole face blushed when she was talking about Ashley?). Here's hoping they stick around for longer than an episode. Also, the scene were Beckett and Castle were shooting the old fashioned pistols CRACKED ME UP.. 

Then, this week's HIMYM was so full of deliciously perfect Barney/Robin! Barney's face when he realized he'd hurt Robin! Robin coming to him when she felt despairing in the first place! Now I totally want to see fic where Robin moves and Barney follows her! Besides that, the episode as a whole was just ridiculously strong.

And then we have the episode whose quality really surprised me, Glee's "Duets."

We had:

~The Finn/Kurt "fag" incidence being explored in depth and with grace and no judgement. I couldn't believe it either. (Burt is still awesomesauce. And I'm glad to hear that he and Finn's mom are apparently quite good at communicating.)

~Rachel and Finn actually working as a couple and actually acting like leaders.

~Amazing songs. (It's a crime that Santana and Mercedes didn't win the competition.)

~Santana and Brittney! (Yes, I know they're doing that and not a Kurt-romance because hot cheerleaders making out is sexy to the male, heterosexual gaze. But fuck that, I still think they're awesome together.)

~Breadsticks! I find it hysterical how excited these kids got about it. Oh, Lima.

~Kurt and Rachel singing together! I cannot even say how much I want them to be friends. So much. Rachel totally needs a gay bff and Kurt's so awesome he could handle the divaness of both Rachel and Mercedes (plus, as Rachel pointed out, he and Rachel are A LOT alike, and drama queens who need to be in New York should stick together.)

Things that were not awesome:

~Fucking douchebag Artie. Oh, noes! The girl who you didn't even date before screwing didn't make your first time special and meaningful after she was explicitly clear about how little sex means to her (e.g. "since you're on the football team now....")

~Sam not being gay. Or bi. Or making out with Kurt. That scene when he was in the shower and Kurt was checking out the downstairs was hilarious and hot.

Sam not being, at the very least, bi is kind of a huge let down for me because I really thought his character would be the perfect foil for Kurt. He could be the guy who is confused about his sexuality and not sure about what he wants and afraid of the things he feels for Kurt. that and the shameless little fangirl inside of me thinks it would be kind of hot to watch those two make out

I'm so glad that Rachel is getting more character development beyond neurotic songstress. Her and Kurt singing together made my heart happy. And Finn, is being kind of a lot of surprisingly insightful.

And the Santana Mercedes duet? AWESOME IN A CAN

Artie getting laid was...uh... unexpected.... a lot.

But Santana!Brittney! love! Finally!! (I thought it was kind of really sad that she was sitting in the restaurant by herself and did the nose thing with the meatball =/)

Yeah. Oh yeah. That sort of broke my heart a little. I mean, while Brittney's motivations in sleeping with Artie weren't good, she did act very sweet toward him; I thought the way she lifted him into bed was ridiculously cute, actually. And the whole Lady and the Tramp thing was sad and adorable at the same time.

Same here! Such a perfect missed opportunity.

And he was such an ungrateful snot about it to! I would have loved to have lost my virginity to a hot cheerleader in high school.

So sad!
