There have been moments where they have caught me off guard but I love the characters, the rawness, the truth behind them. I am a fan like you.<br><br>Hope you guys are all well.farrellx4http://farrellx4.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-28194543028270244142009-11-14T08:23:49.933-05:002009-11-14T08:23:49.933-05:00Saw it, loved it, lots of interesting conversation...Saw it, loved it, lots of interesting conversations.

Thank you for blogging about i...Love your thoughts. Thank you for blogging about it. All is all I totally agree with you. I too worried about them showing a very dependent sister in a nursing home situation but hey, that's real life too sometimes. It's not always a pretty picture. But what was beautiful was them holding hands and sharing a very special moment...I'm tearing up just thinking about it.<br><br>I also noticed a couple sneaky remarks like when the "dumb" blonde character walked up with Becky (isn't that the character's name with DS) and one of the boys said that the blonde cheats off Becky's math tests or something like that. So in effect, this "dumb" blonde must be REALLY dumb that she can even get tips from Becky. I tend to be overly touchy at times so I'll let this slide as just some humor. Also heard mention of a short bus....but whatever...it's real life these thoughts, words, things, events so if it attracts a wide audience with it's reality and then helps to shed light on the beauty of difference then by all means KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GLEE!!! I think I may be Tivo'ing the rest of the season!<br>:)<br>JenThe Sanchez Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02193773268823617205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-52806638265298248192009-11-14T23:31:42.237-05:002009-11-14T23:31:42.237-05:00I loved it but was a little nervous when they firs...I loved it but was a little nervous when they first showed Becky. Not sure if Glee would take a negative spin on Down syndrome. I was so relieved with the story line and the positive view it gave on Ds. I thought Becky was so cute (I know...not a word she would probably choose but so true) and Sue and her sister was an emotional mess for me too. I love the show! The music is amazing and Finn and mo-hawk boy are fun to watch too. :)heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01061626477737855499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-54083378105385850352009-11-15T19:31:37.502-05:002009-11-15T19:31:37.502-05:00I too am a fan of Glee and was looking forward to ...I too am a fan of Glee and was looking forward to the episode....(Becky will be on one more time early December)............must watch! I agree with your view on the episode, I too was very emotional. I am 9 months into my journey and new to the blogging world so every time I read a blog or see an episode like this one I can't help but see the sunny side of my little Landon's future! So inspirational!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02643251885429921088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-74794380942483920402009-11-18T13:38:55.077-05:002009-11-18T13:38:55.077-05:00Lisa, I LOVE Glee! It's my favorite new show. ...Lisa, I LOVE Glee! It's my favorite new show. And Jane Lynch has been one of my favorite comedic actresses since I first saw her on "Best in Show." Anyway, I missed this epidode but caught it on hulu. I gotta admit, I have mixed feelings about it. Like you, I'm concerned those who don't know much about DS will assume they all end up in a nursing home (the actresses speech was great!). I thought the teenager was cute, but they could have done more with her so I'll be interested to see where the story goes. Like others have said, the nursing home maybe ONE reality, but it's not true for all, especially the younger generations. I was just expecting more from such a high visibility platform -- I want more balance, I guess. I will post more thoughts about it on my blog too. Thanks for the conversation.<br><br>SandyMomma2Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05412117325765439367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-54170333292492585482009-11-18T14:39:51.366-05:002009-11-18T14:39:51.366-05:00I totally agree w/ your observations.

I'm uncomfortable with the pregnancy story line, although it happens in real life, too, but it's too "adult" for them at this stage of their life and in our particular family. I agree w/ Jennifer that the dependent sister was hard to watch, but given her age, it makes more sense and is probably more common that she would be dependent at her stage in life. Alzheimer's and/or dementia is a real concern for the future as it also runs in our family (but I don't dwell on it.) I am recording the season and only watching episodes that I hear on FB or blogs that are going to be good (or were good). I have so little time to watch TV anymore anyway, but I love the positive portrayal of the cute girl w/ Ds.Monica Crumleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11292679754594755040noreply@blogger.com
