This is why it's never a good idea to give glee another chance

Spoilers for up to last night's episode (3x16). And perhaps ranting.

... why are you trying to make actual sense of this show?

[rinmonsterer]

I try not to! And I usually manage to just tune out my brain and passively enjoy the songs. But this storyline was so offensive it made me physically unwell and I can't forgive that :(

[amelialourdes]

I'm sorry, dude. :(

I think I very literally turn off my brain when I'm watching. I have absolutely no thoughts when it's over.

My daughter and I quit watching this show when he outed Santana. It was the final straw for us in the poor writing and illogical plots. The writing was always crap but according to my daughter all of Ryan Murphy's shows are that badly written and are always full of plots that have no connection to anything that has come before. We just couldn't stomach it anymore.

I think the outing was by Finn, although it's quite possible I'm forgetting some lowpoint of Kurt's story here. There were just too many to remember. I remember Kurt was the guy who made his boyfriend transfer out of a great private school into a public breeding ground for homophobia to be with him, and didn't even seem to appreciate the gesture.

It's like he uses a random plot generator and writes from that. Characters? Eh, who cares.

He seems to be stuck on "John/Jenny falls in love and love makes him/her stupid and codependent. And then people cry while singing." We should email the webmaster to fix that generator :|

To sum up in three words why I never watched it: High School Drama.

Yeah, no.

It's disappointing, because first season of glee was all about false advertising. It seemed like a show filled with snappy and clever dialogue about a bunch of kids who were quirky jerks, but incredibly fun to watch. And then it jumped the shark and the female lead who used to be pathologically ambitious and broadway-bound reached a point where she was ready to drop her life-long dream to marry her loser jock of a boyfriend and start a family in ohio, because for some reason that was never explained, she was madly in love with him. I guess the keyword is 'madly.' And the token gay kid used to be a fabulous queen and now he's just a drag. Basically, the prevalent life lesson glee is trying to pass seems to be "love makes you pathetic and codependent and stupid. Go for it, it's awesome!"
