Oh Ha, I Guess I Should Have Clarified That The pseudo-science I'm Talking About Specifically Is The

Oh ha, I guess I should have clarified that the pseudo-science I'm talking about specifically is the in-book explanation that ~solar radiation~ powerful enough to wipe out most white people somehow left PoCs mostly intact. I mean, the narrative itself mentions off-handedly that 'coals' can get skin cancer on occasion, but aside from being just illogical and stupid, the idea that a PoCs melanin protects them from radiation powerful enough to kill most of the poor delicate white people just seems so damn skeevy and racist in a really antiquated way.

So I just wanted to put it out there that aside from being incorrect pseudo-science, the whole concept of Black people’s melanin protecting them from skin cancer reeks of social darwinism. :/

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important. So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader’s ear. Don’t just write words. Write music.””

Usually, Glee's "here's what you missed" bit is structured to have relevance to the episode it's on, rather than what was important in the last episode. Like, they will completely summarize story lines being continued, sometimes going back into a previous season to cover the plot points needed. By not mentioning Rachel and Klaine setting their virginity free, they're not trying to make it seem like it never happened. They're waiting for an episode that continues story lines in which those events are relevant.

Am I the only one whose upset of the fact that the glee recap on the beginning of the Mash Off episode, they did not mention Klaine and Rachel losing their virginity?

That was a big thing in last week’s episode and them not mentioning it seems like it never happened. Making it worse for new viewers and us shippers angry to understand the situation, since last week there were no scenes to prove that they really did it.
