rishaI don't like Glee.
I'm sorry - I tried! I love musicals, and I love dark and/or subversive comedies.
But I don't like many of the characters, and it seems like the more I dislike them, the more screen time they get. And the ones I do like, such as Puck, are still pretty shallow.
Every single one of the plot lines are boring me to tears. I started fast forwarding through parts quite a few episodes ago, and I'm down to just watching the musical numbers (which I do enjoy), and about two minutes total of the rest of it, in roughly 30 second snippets at a time. I'm pretty sure I haven't missed anything as a result - so far, I've been able to follow what's happening without a problem.
And the timeline is driving me crazy! I've forgiven the instant perfection of the singing, background music, and choreography, on the basis of it being a conceit of the whole musical genre. But I can't figure out how many months(?) are supposed to have passed. When are sectionals anyway? At the end of the school year? People have left the glee club for entire productions before coming back, seemingly just days later. (Do they rehearse every day, for that matter? When do the cheerleaders find time to practice?) And how long did the coach and the councilor date for before deciding to get married, anyway? But most frustratingly, it seems like the fake pregnancy started out as brand new, and is now supposed to be months along based on the growing belly. But Quinn isn't showing. If the pregnancies are months apart, how does whats-her-name expect to pass the baby off as hers? This is hurting my head.
