Thoughts About Glee and its Fandom Now that the Show is Over

Mar 23, 2015 20:08

So, Glee came to an end a couple days ago, after 6 years, and being confronted with that fact, as well as seeing some emotional posts and comments has made me surprisingly sentimental and nostalgic on the subject.  And although I’ve said some of these things on Tumblr and ontd_glee, getting my thoughts out on the matter inspired me to make my first ( Read more... )

I haven't logged into this account in a long time, but I did on random impulse, and saw your post. Thanks!!!!!!!

I have the current season DVR'd, but I haven't been able to check it out. My kids are a lot older now than when the show first started, so while I used to watch the show or watch fic while they'd nap or sleep, now there is homework to be done, bake sales to bake for, costumes to sew, parties to plan, etc. i'll always feel nostalgic with the show, because I will always remember Caroline perking up to Don't Stop Believing, or the way Caleb as an infant would stare at Dianna Agron's face. I'll miss the show, even though I hated a lot of aspects of it, and it turned into total crap.

Hey, it's been a while since I've seen you around, though I suppose life's been getting in the way as it has a habit of doing at times. How's the family & the job doing?

Anyways, that's the sort of thing people seem to be remembering about the show, those moments that are connected with some little memory, or where it was good, as well as the rest of it going down the drain.

(BTW, sounds like Caleb had good taste, lol.)

Probably should watch the last season when you can find the time, as it really was better than a lot of the previous two, and even occasional flashes of what made the show such a phenomenon in the days of yore. Although there's a considerable Rachel focus, should probably be forewarned that there's also a lot of Kurt, Sam, Blarren, & some Schue there as well (however, in one of the episodes, there's a scene I think you might like where Kurt picks an inopportune moment to go into that annoying preachy mode, and sends up getting torn a new one for it.)
