the episode was just full of cute moments and I totally cried during Blaine's proposal to Kurt, but something still felt off to me. It didn't feel like a season premiere as much as the premiere felt in past seasons
painful to watch, they should've done the tribute first. This just didn't feel right I'm not even gonna start about Klaine If it wasn't for the NY storylines, I'd quit this show
I don't much like it any more. Initially, it impressed me as a decent mix of edgy and inspirational hokum about high school, with some very funny stuff and some creditable attempts at dealing with significant issues and interesting characters. However, it seems to me to have degenerated terribly in the last couple of seasons. It's become more preachy in its approach to issues, and it has lost any serious sense of character consistency or plausible plotting (all that Will/Emma stuff last season, for instance, was unbearably dumb). Increasingly, the characters seem like puppets or plot devices changed randomly, even form episode to episode, in order to create some new crisis or dynamic (e.g. Artie/Kitty, or Tina's ridiculous story in this episode--I pity Jenna Ushkowitz, a very talented performer who has been generally wasted over the entire run of the show and seems now to be getting turned into a parody of a parody). Even Sue Sylvester, arguably the show's most interesting character, is one they at bottom just don't seem to know what to do with--only Jane Lynch's skills sell her as anything more than a cardboard sociopath.The production numbers remain about the only aspect with much appeal left for me, and even those have been hit and miss over the last year.
I normally love glee - I did not like this episode. It was obvious they are kind of filling in some time before "The Quarterback". The only thing I got out of it was a) Principal Sylvester and b) Blaine proposes. I was kind of expecting it because they basically had to scrap their entire story line but then they only pushed the premier back for one week. Hopefully, the story will get back on track after the playoffs ...
They filmed those episodes before Cory died. That's why it was premiered first. After the second episode that's when Cory died. So they had to do The quarterback episode next.(which btw is when we would've seen Cory) when that airs then they'll go on hiatus.

I agree with a lot of that, but disagree with the Jenna comment. I think she's one of the weakest actresses on the show (and that's saying something), and whenever they give her any meaty stuff to do, she just isn't up to scratch. That's, in my opinion, why she's mostly in the background.
Yes you're right. He did die shortly before production. BUT These scripts were written first...they had to go along with the season finale. Ok Cory died, (may he R.I.P) but they still couldn't just go off schedule, they had to change everything around that they had already previously worked on b/c of the devastating news. I think they did it perfectly. Think about it, you go completely off track, b/c one of your own dies, and you put his tribute first(which btw needed a completely whole new script, not to mention trying to get through it with all the rehearsals) THEN you do a two part episode with the Beatles after?? No it doesn't work. I'm glad they did it this way. Celebrate first, then mourn later.
Didn't know the scripts were already written, thought it was just because they'd been wanting to do it for a long time I guess it does make sense then, but it still felt weird to me Doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of the Beatles
Yea they were already written. And yeah i guess not. But hopefully you'll be able to shake it off and watch the second episode, still good for the ratings. haha

Cutest proposal ever!! I am in the crappiest mood!! But it's moments like that, that lift me right up. I love Glee! Awww Klaine!!
ReplyDeleteIt was way better than last year and the proposal was perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was great, but it can never be awesome again without Cory.
ReplyDeleteCrap, crap, crap.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you watching glee ?

ReplyDeletepainful to watch, they should've done the tribute first. This just didn't feel right
ReplyDeleteI'm not even gonna start about Klaine
If it wasn't for the NY storylines, I'd quit this show
Why do you ask?
ReplyDeleteJust asking... never met someone your age who like glee...that's all.

ReplyDeleteActually they wrote these before Cory died, production didn't start until after
