Deers can tiptoe

Years after being blinded by headlights, the deer has moved on. Despite familiarity with the surroundings, it is now more cautious than ever. Treading forest grounds as if it was made of eggshells and not soil. The deer has familiarized itself with headlights--of different kinds--so as not to be blinded by anything. So as to be safe.

But the deer did not anticipate how headlights come in different forms. Some are bright and instantly engaging--like the one that it experienced before--while some seem normal and plain. Harmless, even. This kind of headlight, small at first, doesn't come at the deer in a quick and blinding albeit mesmerizing fashion. It came like a thief in the night. Slowly making its approach, as if it had all the time in the world.

Maybe it did, the deer had no means to know.

Before the deer knew it, it was mesmerized by headlights yet again. This time though the deer is careful. No matter how positive this new headlight seemed, the deer did not rush towards it with blinded enthusiasm. It is careful. The deer has found out one thing it did not know deers are capable of: Deers can tiptoe.

the deer series started in 2008 with Because deers can't talk, followed by Because the headlights were oblivious, and then by Because the deer has finally learned, and finally concluded in 2009 with Because deers can talk to other deers.

On VapoRape, Babygate 2.0, Wheelchair Love 2.0 and Quintana

Will and Emma's wedding on Valentine's Day served as the third periodic homecoming for New Directions alumni (Glease was the first; Thanksgiving was the second) and a forced Asian bird flu hiatus for Kitty, Unique, Joe and Sugar. I guess the writers would need to invent more periodic homecomings that would entail the old New Directions to come back to McKinley to bring the oomph the new New Directions continually fail to bring.

VapoRape
Tina only needed Kurt to call her out on her shit hag-ness. I hope this marks the end to one of Glee's less thought-out storybits. I hope Blam and Brampocalypse would end soon.

Did you VapoRape my ex boyfriend?! Don't you walk away from me, Tina Cohen-Chang!

Wheelchair Love 2.0
Making Artie hook up with a girl in a wheelchair was like... Season 3-Quartie all over again. It was tolerable because Kevin McHale had chemistry with Dianna Agron then, and whatsherface now but the difference is that we knew in season 3 that Quinn would walk again and would move on. I think the situation between Artie and whatsherface now is just downright sad because I think it sort of sends the message that guys in wheelchairs inevitably fall in love with girls in wheelchairs. Or vice versa. It's sad either way.

Wheel. The. Hell. Away.

Quintana. 
It has finally happened. I guess Ryan Murphy, after raising the ire of the lesbian blogging community for breaking the fourth wall in a bad way (and of course who can forget the horror that is Brampocalypse), wanted to appease them by making countless fan fictions suddenly canon within minutes. As with most of the newly developed storylines (I think storybits, is a more accurate term for Glee's "storylines") from this episode, I don't know where the writers would go with this. Although I'm all for Brittana (which is endgame, too, Finn ), bringing in Quinn as Santana's girlfriend would be better since Santana gets a new girlfriend without the need to cast another actress and the hassle to develop the character. Also, it would be a good reason for Quinn to be regularly present since Santana now lives with Rachel and Kurt in New York.

Brittana is endgame.

Babygate 2.0
Rachel being pregnant is...as worse as Quinn's Crazy Mother Bitch Phase and Wheelchair Phase in Season 3. It will be pointless. It will be painful to watch Rachel, who's in New York living her dream, be tied up to Finn or Brody. Yeah fine Finn's cuter now or Brody's...I don't know what Brody's deal is actually...but that doesn't change the fact that both guys will hold her back. My reaction to the possibility of a Pregnant Rachel is similar to my reaction to a Finchel Teen Wedding: it seems absurd story-wise but it may happen because of the Glee writers' unpredictability craziness.

The last few seconds of this episode terrified me in ways I did not expect. And I don't even like Rachel Berry.

PS: 
Re: Wemma's wedding fiasco. Mr. Schue deserved being left at the altar more than Ted Mosby did in How I Met Your Mother. He deserved it because he tried to coerce Emma to go to Washington with him; because he left Emma with the wedding preparations for months, knowing she has OCD, left someone at the altar before and recently divorced; and because when his soon-to-be-wife asked for help, he dismissed her with a kiss, and ran off with his bff to go see his students.
