Was at 'rents for thanksgiving and missed it thursday, just caught up and... I think thats it, I think I am actually done with Glee. Its an odd kind of relief. The unnatural dark hold it seemed to have trapped me in is now broken. I'm free. hangedman1984 fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Nov 30, 2013 |

Do you want to trade?  I don't think I'll ever be free as long as Chris is still doing his thing, but the last two episodes have just been really bad, with bonus seriously unlikeable Blaine in this week's episode. And none of Glee's Christmas episodes have been good, so I don't want or need another one next week.

Death is the only escape. Suicide pact? Lea Michele doesn't get songs anymore so I'm down.

Every week I say I'm not only not going to watch, but that I'm not going to even read this thread. Sometimes I'll manage to miss a week but I'm eventually sucked back in not only to the show but catching up with the thread. For some reason I can't not watch the show and then run here to see what y'all thought of it too. If we're going to do this though, it needs to be melodramatic and fitting of the show we are trying to escape from. Maybe a Gaga theme?

Well Glee finally went sub-1.0 in the demo this week, because airing an episode on thanksgiving worked so well for them last season!

I'm all for a time jump at this point -- let the characters age about five years and we'll pick up the plotline in New York when they're in their early to mid twenties. I think I'm with the rest of you though - ready to jump ship. "The Fox" took me over the edge.

Rarity posted:I want to be free but I don't know how to stop The trick I found was to have a World of Warcraft raid every Thursday night at the same time Glee airs and not own a DVR. This forces you to go through extra effort to get the episodes and by the time you've got a hold of them, you've heard everyone else call them garbage and you don't even want to watch it. I haven't watched any episode yet this season other than the season premiere. I'll watch the Cory episode eventually but I think I might have done it - I might finally be free  (This is also why I haven't been in the thread since the season started, sorry guys)

An alternate way to drop out would be to watch it late with someone who has a World of Warcraft Raid every Thursday Night at the same time as the show who has stopped watching the show. I haven't watched since The Quarterback, and am only listening to songs I like when I make the music posts.

Christ, you guys. This episode was bad and everything but I feel like bitching about Glee is the new gang tag. That is to say I don't love the show anymore; it's good for a couple moments of joy a week at best, but that's fine by me. You guys act like the show is actively traumatizing you or something. I will say I hate how much attention/focus Blaine gets now.

To be honest, I didn't think that episode was that good. It was just not horrible, so a lot of people were confused and thought that meant it must be great. The 30 second preview for it after the previous episode was better, in my opinion. Actually made me feel something. It's still the only ep worth watching this season, however, and it should have been a two hour made for TV movie/series finale given the epidemic of anhedonia in the ratings for this season. Or they can nuke Lima and make a show worth watching that actually features characters people care about and want to hear sing instead of just wheeling them out for four glib lines and a paucity of screen time each week.

I still watch Glee because I kind of legitimately enjoy the New York parts. But on the other hand, I'm starting to hate Blaine.

I can never get you peoples' breaking points with this show. Like, I would totally understand and sympathize with anyone giving up after any single one of the three episodes prior to this week. But this latest one? Is literally a season 1 episode. You have sophomore year Rachel Berry reincarnating in the form of Blaine, drug-induced dream performances, Sue having issues with her image and turning to Will and/or Kurt and/or Mercedes for help (in this case it'd be their bastard child), and most importantly: love triangles no one cares about involving baby drama. People asking for season 1 Glee back? Here it is, in all its shady glory!

Yeah, but Rachel Berry is a much more interesting character than Blaine (as much as I love him, and I do) and Lea Michele a vastly better actress (as much as I love Darren, sorry man) - part of my problem is just that I thought Darren couldn't pull this off. (The acting was kind of awful throughout, though not just on his part, pretty much everyone felt off, even the always great Jane Lynch.) Anyway, can't speak for anyone else, but I was never a huge fan of season 1 either (all the baby related storylines were godfuckingawful indeed); for me Glee was at its best/most entertaining in season 2 (and even that season had some real duds in there). Season 1 Glee and current Glee are also so very different tonally (s1 was much darker and the show took itself much less seriously) that it's just kind of awkward to have an s1-esque episode now. Back in s1 you could have Will Schuester planting drugs in a kid's locker to blackmail him and laugh at that because that was the kind of show it was, but that storyline just wouldn't work in current Glee with what the show has become since then.

I'm reasonably certain that enjoyment of current Glee is contingent upon liking Blaine and/or Sam. If neither of those characters are your flavor, no matter how much any given episode might 'feel' like seasons past, you probably aren't going to much like the show as it stands today. (If you like both Blaine AND Sam, you're probably willing to forgive a lot of the show's failings to keep watching their shenanigans!)

I like Blaine and Sam, but I haven't really had any real desire to watch glee in the past few weeks. My entire lack of caring about : Kurt, Rachel, Santana, Will, Jake, Tina, Artie, Marley, Unique, Kitty, and so on has kinda killed my interest in the show. Separately, Starkid's new musical is out, a Wicked-ized version of Aladdin, and it's great.

MUSIC POST! Songs from last week will be eligible for nomination. Any nomination of The Fox will be summarily ignored. Considering the episode, Artists won't be listed. Not entirely due to  but mostly.Away in a Manger sung by Rachel, Kurt, Santana, and Nude Erections Love Child, sung by Unique with Marley and Tina Christmas Don't Be Late (The Chipmunk Song (Really)), sung by Kurt, Rachel, Santana, and someone apparently named Cody. Mary's Little Boy Child, sung by Marley, Tina, and Unique Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, sung by Will and Nude Erections Here Comes Santa Claus, sung by Kurt, Rachel, and Santana Accidentally pasted too many times, so here's I Steal Everything from Twisted because I was listening to it while making the post. Probably the best song on this list. I dunno.

News or whatever: For the 100th episode,in addition to covering old songs based on fan voting, they're asking 'all' the original cast to return. So far Amber Riley and Mark Salling are in, and Dianna Agron supposedly wants to if schedules allow. No word yet on whether or not this will also mean the glorious return of Shaft.

As of the last count, every single old school cast member is confirmed to return except Dianna Agron. And I'm gonna laugh so very very hard if she can't make it. I mean I really want her to make it but I think the comedy factor would almost be worthwhile if she doesn't.
