I'm still mostly enjoying Glee, but any time it goes to the Finn/Rachel part of the story, I tune out. I used to think it was Rachel that bothered me, but now I suspect it's Finn. He's a nice enough guy and I like Corey, but I can't see why Rachel pines after him. For me, he's so incredibly bland and not that talented compared to everyone else. I imagine him holding Rachel back. She's one of the few people in the club that I really can see making it in show business.

I have a lot of problems with Rachel's character, there are times when I'm ready to just let Finn/Rachel happen because I'm so sick of both of them and want them away from toxifying the other characters, but I think basically... I mean, I guess I'd be okay if Finn came around, back to the character that I used to like. But, between the two of them, I still somewhat like Rachel and think she has potential, while Finn is just toxic to every storyline he's in. It's a shame because Corey seems like SUCH a great guy (the tumblr/twitter trolling he did on his birthday--from what I heard of it--seemed particularly epic) and I want to like Finn, but I'm tired of being TOLD he's the leader and yet not being SHOWN anything redeeming about him, other than that he doesn't MEAN to be a dickbag, he just sort of is. And I'm totally agreed, re: Rachel. Say what you want about her as a person, she's the one character who has the drive and the talent to really make it in show business... if she doesn't throw it all away for a boyfriend first. :/

Finn's character has really started to bother me this season, which makes me sad, because he was a character I really enjoyed last season. I wanted to like Finn! I went into this season with the best of intentions for him and a strong fondness for him! But too many times he's gone through the same storyline that I just don't have any patience for--Finn has to learn to be a leader, despite that there are other characters there who would be much better at it. The show made moves to show that Sam was a better alpha male character, but then they dropped it... why? Because Finn was there first? And it's the same story TIME AND AGAIN, how Finn has to learn to let go of what other people think of him, man up, and be a leader. I am tired of that story being repeated. I am tired of watching Finn get everything despite that he does nothing to earn it or deserve it, yet whine about how his life is so hard ( ... )

If Finn and Rachel get back together at the end of this season which is very likely, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get another break up at the beginning of next season just because the writers can't seem to make Rachel or Finn relevant to a continuous storyline unless they're pining after one another.I fully expect this as well, but I'm hopeful that it'll be like how their storyline progressed when they were going through their whole thing in s2--it was isolated enough (not entirely, not nearly as much as I'd like, of course) that I wound up being able to fast forward through their scenes and I was a much happier person for it. At least this way, Quinn will have a chance to be a good character again and I won't have to sit through Jesse/Rachel, knowing I can never really have it for more than five seconds ( ... )
