Do you ever find yourself 'shipping a pairing that is clearly never, ever going to happen? A pairing that makes absolutely no sense? Do you ever think 'you know, the idea of these characters getting together is fun to entertain, but I'm not going to hold out any hope of it happening in canon because it's obviously impossible'?
Does that pairing ever happen anyway?
Let's talk about Glee.
( Specifically, let's talk about the episode 'Diva'. )
I haven't seen any episodes past 'Diva', so please don't let me know what's going to happen in the future!
Oh, Glee. I'm never going to be able to stop watching you.
Speaking of shows I can't escape: I almost managed to give up Waterloo Road during the most recent run of episodes (8.11 to 8.20). I so, so nearly managed it. I went about four weeks without watching it, and then I cracked and caught up on everything I'd missed. I WILL NEVER BE FREE OF THIS TERRIBLE PROGRAMME.
I love that, if someone comes into the room when I'm watching Waterloo Road and asks what's going on in the episode, the answer will almost always be so silly that I can't keep a straight face. 'That teacher's in danger of being suspended because she hit a pupil.' 'Why'd she hit him?' 'Er, he stole a pair of her knickers and threw them at her during a lesson.'

th_esaurus came in during episode 8.20, when Michael and Scout were discussing Scout's dreams and future. She started hissing 'Make oooout' at them, rather to my amusement. That would have been pretty unprofessional of Michael, considering that he's the headteacher and Scout is a pupil, but it's not as if any teacher in Waterloo Road is particularly professional. (One of the truest quotes ever written about this show, from this blog: When you go for a job as a teacher at Waterloo Road they sit you in front of the interview panel with a cup of tea and a custard cream and they ask, “What do you know about boundaries and the pupil/teacher relationship?” If you shrug your shoulders, look blank and fill the ensuing awkward silence by dunking your biscuit in your tea – you’ve got the job.)
