Watercooler: In Praise of Glee's Santana

Amber Riley, Naya Rivera, Louise Morris See, because of this you have to make Christmas lists, kids! Several several weeks ago, Watercooler asked for Santa for just about any few things if this involves Glee, and last evening, we have got the primary one we wanted most likely probably the most: More Santana. Really, it absolutely was as being a "a very special Santanisode" that saw the spitfire who once declared "really the only straight I am is straight-up bitch" formally implementing her Sapphic self and displayed the always-tasty Naya Rivera's capacity to become a number of fierce, funny and believably vulnerable. Her version of "Constant Craving" with Idina Menzel? That was just extra awesome-sauce silently. Much less this really is really the first time Rivera is just about the interest she so highly warrants. All season, because the relaxation people are actually wondering if Karovsky could possibly get several scene this year, Santana's coming-out story remains brewing, and a pair of days back, we have got that Finn slap that appeared a good deal like "buckle her in, it's gonna get Lima Levels-adjacent up in here!" Lawdy, managed to get happen ever! Involving the scene along with her grandmother as well as the "I Kissed a womanInch number, the primary concentrate on La Lopez composed for the majority of the hour's lesser moments. Our only worry is when this story goes from this level. Clearly, she'll try taking some help handling the aftershocks to become freely outed (due to that anti-Sue commercial), and then we really hope the authors handle it correctly. Not properly - we'd never request that from people who just put a teacher into bed mattress getting students - just reasonably. Like, maybe use guidance counselor Emma as not just an Obsessive-compulsive disorder point. Or have Blaine have a relaxation from being smugly self-impressed to mentor her concerning how to be considered a well-modified gay teen with great hair like him. Just please, don't reduce her to a different weepy, whiny martyr like last year's canonization of St. Kurt. That mess is becoming travelling in roll-neck ponchos and Santana warrants so much better than that. Can you agree? How every time they handle Santana's story since everyone knows she's "Lebanese"?
