This one goes out to Josh, as per his request.
So last night I was working out and Glee was on, so I watched it. Before I can begin on the horror that was this episode, I must first recap the rise and fall of Glee, seasons 1 and 2.
Season 1 started out really good. The songs were done in their own original way, and the character development was believable. Plus the humor was kick ass and non stop. It addressed pretty much every highschool challenge that we've almost all have been through.
Then we get to season two. The number of songs per episode went from 6 to 2 or 3, and they seemed to be just karaoke versions of the originals.
Then suddenly Sanatana reveals she's a lesbian, out of no where. Maybe I was the only one who was shocked, but really. It was a bit much. Ever since then, that's all that the episodes seem to focus on, gay/lesbian relationships. Not that I have anything against the subject, it just seemed a bit much.
Storylines are also crumbing around any other character, it's just hard to watch now.
Like for example, what's up with Finn's character? He was the cookie cutter good guy, sweet and thoughtful. And it worked. But in season two he goes into sudden asshole mode where he gets Quinn to cheat on Sam with him. And not one shit is given by him. It's just not like his character...
But you know when I reached my breaking point?
When, in last night's episode, they sang Rebecca Black's Friday song. Really? Really guys?
I don't know if it was meant to be hip or funny...but in an episode that featured Adele and Christina Perri who are legit and really good artists...I'm just like...urgh. You paid money...really money to Rebecca Black just so you could make me loose all faith in pretty much everything. It wasn't even funny to watch....just painful.
Let's not forget the cherry on top, which was the two minutes of going from crying character to crying character as they complained about how much prom sucked and how first thing on Monday they were going to transfer schools due to humiliation.
Shoot me.
Just...shoot me.
Sorry Glee, but I think that it's time that we saw other people.
I'm tradin up.
