TV

So I'm watching Season 2 of Supernatural (why yes, I am a bit behind, why do you ask?) and there was a bit that just had me giggling. Not entirely sure why, but why pick it apart?

Dean and Sam are driving, Dean is teasing Sam about his fear of clowns (oh, this is episode 2 of that season). Sam quips back about Dean's fear of planes.

"Hey, planes crash!"

Sam gestures with papers, "And apparently clowns kill!"


Makes me laugh.


Glee- finally got around to watching the first three episodes. Not sure what I think of it. I didn't immediately fall in love with it. I'm having trouble really liking any of the characters very much. The lead teacher Will is okay, as is Emma, the rest? Eh, I dunno. I don't find the show funny so much as just sad, which I suppose high school can be.

I would also like to know if it's more of a general trend or is it mostly because I don't watch a lot of TV- but- Are ALL blondes bitchy and/or dumb? Every single 'bad' female character on Glee is blond (by nature or not, it doesn't matter). Same thing with Vampire Diaries (per the first episode or two).

This trend, if it is one, seriously pisses me off. Something like that shouldn't be shorthand for personality. I'm not blonde currently, thanks to Loreal, but I was growing up. While I had my moments, I wasn't either bitchy or dumb. It's annoying to see "oh hey, blonde girl on the screen - what do we think? Evil bitch or dumber than a post?" and have those as the only options. Equally annoying is the "brunettes are never as pretty as blondes" corollary.

A general peeve that is very clearly highlighted (heh) in Glee. I'll probably not let that alone deter me from watching. As a plus- I like the actress who has the role of Cheer coach, as well as the Actress who plays Emma.

There ya have it.
