Random Memorial for Monday 7/15/13

Gone but not forgotten:  Cory Monteith.

Contrary to my usual tone, you'll find no snark here.  I briefly toyed with stating that I think Dean/Brody should contact his agent and negotiate a return to the show, but this doesn't seem to be the place nor the time for that.

Instead, I'll just mourn the loss of yet another young actor long before he should have left this world.  And I'll reiterate that the best of the best demonstrate full functionality even as they toy with the deadly mix of drugs and alcohol.  And I'll lament the fact that the walking wounded among us see no other recourse but to self-medicate instead of seeking the help they need.

It will be difficult to return gleefully to the quality show that is Glee this fall (assuming they find a writerly way to address this), for you, young man, will be missed.

THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO DO IS TO MIX A SEDATIVE WITH A SEDATIVE:
