Glee & White Collar

[allopenstar]

Just finished watching Glee, and wow, Santana (Naya Rivera) blew me away. The entire locker scene was utterly amazing. I prefer it over any Kurt, Blaine and Burt scenes (this week), which tells you how good it is.

I love the way Glee is beginning to explore bisexuality, and separating sexuality from romantic. The asexual community might get to have some screen time in the show, I hope. The way I read it, Santana is bisexual and homoromantic (at least for now).

Her words had so much impact not only because of the words, but also because of Naya's brilliant acting. Her vulnerability came through so clearly. WOW.

Santana
What I’ve realized, is why I’m such a bitch all the time. I’m a bitch because I’m angry. I’m angry because I have all of these feelings. Feelings for you, that I’m afraid of dealing with because I’m afraid of dealing with the consequences.

Do you understand what I am saying here? (The way she said it broke my heart)

I wanna be with you, but I’m afraid of the talks and the looks. You know what happened to Kurt in this school.

I’m so afraid of what everyone will say behind my back, still I have to accept, that I love you. I love you and I don’t want to be with Sam or Finn, or any of those other guys. I just want you. Please say you love me back, please.

Brittany
Course I love you, I do.

(...) I am lucky enough that you are still single, (...) I am so yours.

Santana
*frowny sad heartbroken face* (So good!)

Santana:
What I’ve realized, is why I’m such a bitch all the time. I’m a bitch because I’m angry. I’m angry because I have all of these feelings. Feelings for you, that I’m afraid of dealing with because I’m afraid of dealing with the consequences. I can't go to an Indigo Girls concert with you, I just can't.

Brittany:
I understand that.

Santana:
Do you understand what I am saying here?

Brittany:
No, not really.

Santana:
I wanna be with you, but I’m afraid of the talks and the looks. You know what happened to Kurt in this school.

Brittany:
Honey, if anyone were to ever make fun of you (...)

Santana:
Yeah, I know. *tears* I’m so afraid of what everyone will say behind my back, still I have to accept, that I love you. I love you and I don’t want to be with Sam or Finn, or any of those other guys. I just want you. Please say you love me back, please.

Brittany:
Course I love you, I do. And I would totally be with you if it weren't for Artie.

Santana:
Artie?

Brittany:
I love him too. I don't want to hurt him, that's not right, I can't break up with him.

Santana:
Yes, you can! He's a stupid boy.

Brittany:
But it wouldn't be right. Santana (...) and I am lucky enough that you are still single, (...) I am so yours.

Santana:
*frowny sad heartbroken face*

This scene is amazing. Just, confessions are so hard. And confessions to people close to you leave you so vulnerable.

Also, White Collar!

Please please please, can Neal turn in the evidence immediately PLEASE? That is all I ask. I am so sick of the trust game. Trust between people is the hottest thing on earth. 

Can't wait till June '11 for more Matt Bomer in suits and more White Collar smart fun!

As usual, White Collar has awesome female characters that make me so happy.
