Seeing as there wasn't an episode of Glee this week and following our last assignment, I am going to give a review of Glee so far. As you can always assume, I am going to use bullet points.
- Mr. Schu is a very annoying character this season. Is it bad to say that I really don't care about his story anymore because he seems to be going through an early mid-life crisis. I really can't sympathize with his character.
- Rachel and Finn don't have much drama this season. I can't decide if I like that or not. I do want Rachel to sing more ballads. She has such a great voice and I want to hear more of it.
- On the positive side, Sue is her usual offensive, hilarious self. She makes the show for me right now. I really want her to sing again. We need more Sue.
- Kurt is really angry this season. He has a lot going on, but I feel like he is always depressed. On the other side, he is the only character that continues to give great vocal performances. I love hearing him sing.
- All in all, as for the plot, I feel like that they are trying to give too many characters the spotlight. No one seems to be the star right now and its driving me insane. I think that the other characters do need some time, but the focus should remain on Rachel, Finn, and even Kurt (just because I love him). I do like Quinn and Sam's story, but as for everyone else, it gets overwhelming at times.
- Finally, the music for this season has been just alright. A couple of songs have been pretty good (example: Kurt and Rachel's duet "Get Happy," "Lucky," and "Sing!"), but when I am listening to the cd, I know that there will be several I skip. They are just not giving knock-out, amazing performances.
For Fun: I found these videos the other day thanks to MTV News. They are funny musical "glee-caps". Here is the "glee-cap" for the Rocky Horror Picture Show Episode:

I was forced to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show a week or so ago. The video you linked frightened me more than the actual movie. Despite that, nice post.
ReplyDeleteNice recap! I think I may be one of the only people in class who doesn't watch Glee, but I kind of feel like I know what's going on if I ever do decide to hop on that train.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about being disappointed by a show but still watching it, waiting to see what you expected to see all along. The Office is that show for me... but once Steve Carrell goes away, I'm out.
I really agree with your review. There is just way to much going on right now that they will show a storyline briefly and then take it away and do what is going on with a different character. I do think they need to narrow their focus back down to just a few characters again and not try and give everyone a major story at the same time. And schu definitely needs to get out of his funk!
