Glee

I really enjoyed last night's episode, more so than the Super Bowl extravaganza that was Sunday. Lauren is definitely growing on me as a character and my love is deepening for Santanna.

The actress, Naya Rivera, is of age. However the character Santanna I think is still supposed to be 16 or 17.

Thanks...I didnt wanna feel like a dirty old man...

WHile I despise all things Perry, Fireworks makes me want to achieve world peace LOL...its a great song, she did a great job with it.

Really liked this episode. Santanna was hilarious in this...especially the bit where we hear her thoughts and we just watch the expression on her face as she monologues. It's interesting to see how she has risen to become queen-bitch of the cheerleaders when it was Quinn who should have been.

Mercedes singing Grammy nominated song from Dream Girls was amazing...it was fun and her vocals are just crazy...

So now Glee is having a schism???? LOL

Yeah I felt this show veered off track last season, like full on,"amtrak is destorying my town and just smashed through my house" off track. What once was a show that was quirky, original and heartwarming became it's own cliche with cardboard characters, stunt casting and stories about Kurt, Kurt, and Kurt with appearances by Kurt's boyfriend(Blaine) Kurt's best friend(Rachel) and Kurt's ex-stalking victim(Finn) plus there was the blonde dumb girl(who went from funny dumb to how exactly is she alive dumb) and the bitchy girl(who has a terrible singing voice). And of course, there was the always present autotune, the show's real star.

I just feel the show lost it's way and it will be hard for it to find it's way back. There is always that ONE episode every ten or eleven episodes where you can say "Wow, this show still has it" and then it's all forgotten because all character development in that episode is dropped and four episodes later what happened in that episode plot wise is forgotten. It's preachy and hypocritical and honestly, just isn't fun anymore.

So yeah, I jumped off the Glee love bandwagon and I don't see myself every getting back on. 
Ryan Murphy is also a major ass. So that doesn't help.

Kurt, Blaine and Finn, the three blandest characters in this whole series. The Kurt-heavy season, I think was really poorly handled in contrast to the work they've done this season with Santana coming to terms with her sexuality. I'm sorry if this is going to sound incredibly bitchy, and I would NEVER trivialise anyone's coming out, but it just felt like, realistically, such a massive deal was made of Kurt's sexuality when there was ACTUALLY only one guy who really gave him abuse for his sexuality, and even then it was founded on his own insecurities. The rest of the time, he was mostly getting as much grief as the rest of ND because of the fact that they belonged to the Glee club, not because of the fact that he was gay-- I can't help but feel that Ryan Murphy sees Kurt as his voice of the show, because it's the only reason I can see that such an irritating and self-centred character would be written as so integral to the plot of an entire season, and yet we're meant to feel sorry for him? His actions with Sam and Finn made him seem creepy predatory, and to make him act like he's the ONLY kid who ever got bullied? Sorry, but off the top of my head I'm fairly sure that meaner things were said to Rachel than to Kurt.

On the other hand, Santana's outing, which was dealt with in, what? TWO episodes? Has felt far more realistic and made me feel more sympathy for her than an entire season practically devoted to the awful parody of Blaine and Kurt (Sorry, while we're on the subject, does the wardrobe budget for Glee neglect to pay for the rest of Blaine's trousers? Why are they always cut off just above the ankle? He looks ridiculous, like someone who bought a pair of trousers and was then too poor to afford a new pair so he's outgrown them, which doesn't correlate at all with his 'rich kid' status). Santana was going to be publicly outed (Kurt was already out), struggled with her feelings for Brittany, forced to accept that a lot of her bitchiness is due to her coming to terms with her own insecurities with herself, rejection from one of her family members... Sorry, but her arc just felt a million times more realistic than ANYTHING they did with Kurt, the 'wonder-boy'. And to top it all off, it looks like there's going to be competition for Blaine the Bland (sure, he's got an amazing voice, but still, the character is essentially a glass of water).

Brittany was kind of over-played last season, but I DO think that she was still amazingly funny. By 'bitchy girl' I don't know if you mean Quinn or Santana, but Santana has an amazing voice. Quinn's isn't great, but she's hardly the worst singer of the bunch. Auto-Finn is just awful. The guy can't dance, can just about act, and is an atrocious singer too... Puck, on the other hand, is incredibly talented, as is Artie, and even Mike seems to have a stronger voice! Blaine I've already covered, Kurt sounds SO much better when he's not doing that awful falsetto thing, and I have no IDEA what that Irish kid is meant to be about. Sam's back which is kind of a 'meh' moment, Rachel is still amazing, even if it IS getting grating hearing her overpower most of the songs, Mercedes is brilliant, and Brittany's Beyonce cover was pretty damn good too, and I enjoyed Tina's ABC too.

That makes me laugh because I think Puck sounds even more autotuned than Finn most of the time...and I've heard tracks of his own solo album.

Tina and all of them have more songs this season than they ever have...Santana has had a solo like ten times, Mercedes has gotten some in, Brittany...they've never sung much before. Mike had one solo last season and has had three already this season; I think they're listening to fans at least on that.

It's been a bit too low on the Sue scale though. When is she getting her own show, please?

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm totally on Team Karofsky. Also, did anyone else notice that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, writer of Angel: Revelations and Nightcrawler vol. 3, is  producing this show?

six, I'm with you. I loved Blaine, but now...I mean, I HATE him and Kurt as a couple in the first place, since it's kind of creepy to me..and Blaine has no personality. He just sings nicely. Granted, I don't think someone should run into the arms of an abuser, either, but it's fairly apparent that that is not what Karofsky is.
