Glee, it’s been a long confusing season and I don’t mean Karovsky/Santana confusing I mean Britanny confusing. Mostly all season you seemed to disappoint, be repetitive and a cliché (Twitter gate wasn’t a big spoiler). It wasn’t just you though Glee, most people were in sophomore slumps (Vampire Diaries–what was that?) or failed to bring back momentum this season (Grey’s). The reality TV hands down won this year. Jersey Shore was filled with more drama than people who actually write drama for a living could think of. And don’t get me started on Celebrity Apprentice with Gary Busey. Glee writer’s take note. (Totally take note: Gary Busey= Britanny’s Uncle or Dad, I’m getting my dues and you’re welcome). But all in all, you(Glee) seemed to have some nice moments as well throughout the year and things I would never ever would like to sit through again.
Let’s recap!
Starting with the “Let Down’s”
- Jesse St. James. No more please. For some reason I never saw that episode where Jesse made an omelet out of Rachel but the guy is a totally douche anyways. He was never really a strong competition for Rachel. It made Finn look stupid fighting with him. Do you know what was cool? Finn and Puck fighting. That’s like equivalent to the whole Vin Diesel vs. The Rock in Fast Five in the Glee world. Even Sam vs. Finn (He’s like Paul Walker scrappy in comparisons to the latter but he could hold his own). But Jesse St. James is not hot and totally looks like he’s not into girls. I mean Blaine was more convincingly into Rachel with his beer goggles than Jesse St. James is sans the goggles. But thank you writers, I think we saw the last of him. If you bring him back, it would be more pathetic than it was already. Like Billy Madison pathetic, not funny, sad.
- Lady Gaga “inspired” episodes. At this point of time, I feel on the fence since she did a great job and looked normal in her skits for season finale of SNL with Justin Timberlake but I’m still not gaga for GaGa. Why? Because she is over played and overused by this show. She is not the answer to everything and there are other artist in the world besides Gaga, Madonna and Britney. I think I’m just mad because I want my real Michael Jackson tribute, some Whitney, Mariah, and Janet. (Basically some contemporary women and people of color music— I SAID IT!) And not just Gaga as well, I was pretty mad about the Bieber episode. That throw at least of the many towels in for me for the season. Bieber. Really? That was painful. 
- Prom Queen. Funeral.Drama. Disappointment. Well, I know it was a big deal that an extra on the show spoiled who the prom queen and king was like she was passing notes in middle school English class (but in reality through the Internet where you English teacher isn’t going to catch you but the show runner is instead) but was it really that big of a spoiler. It was obvious! But what I thought would have been extremely obvious in the aftermath didn’t happen which was a disappointment. I thought Karovsky was going to die in funeral. Morbid? Yes. Depressing? Extremely! Would have been really good television? Obvious. And I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
-Holly Holiday. Cool in the beginning. Not so cool the second and third and how many times around. I really enjoyed Gwyneth busting out Cee-Lo. Totally unexpected and it was good! Hated the mash-up between “Singing in the Rain/ Umbrella”.
CUT TO:
-Mash-ups. STOP DOING THEM! SOMETHINGS JUST DON’T MIX WELL TOGETHER. DON’T MESS WITH A CLASSIC UNLESS YOUR NAME IS P.DIDDY or KAYNE.
Back to…
-Holly Holiday. I think her character should have come back like next year and not have dated Mr. Schue and definitely should have been a better sub. But thank you writers for solving that problem too. But she said would come back “whomp whomp”.
At this point I’m weighing my pros and cons and they are feeling a little bit heavy on one side but I want to hurry up and get to the “good” stuff. Let’s wrap the let downs up.
Let Downs in a nutshell:
I feel like this season along with some parts of last did not fully capture the pilot episode. All of sudden and correct me if I’m wrong, I feel like at some point it became a bad after school special. And by bad, I don’t mean cheesy like those back to school specials use to be, I mean bad: bad message and bad placement. It’s glee. Sing and be funny like you use to. Like all the time. No life lessons. Funny, funny times with singing. Glee was described in the beginning as a musical that beats High School Musical up and that was totally due to its comedy. WHERE WAS THE COMEDY?! TOO MUCH DRAMA. And as someone who was in chorus and musical theater for a majority of her adolescence and is of course is a human being whose been through high school, I know drama exist. High school sucked, I knew a crazier version of a Rachel, I probably wanted to beat her up like Santana.
My point is, I know the theatrics and it probably wasn’t that funny growing up but the show at least gave me the chance to look back at and laugh. Make me laugh again, please don’t be my friend.
On to the fun part.
The wonderful moments.
+Britanny. Heather Morris. 
I asked where the comedy was this year. I totally overlooked Ms. Heather Morris. Britanny is the funniest thing on this show and if it wasn’t for her I don’t know what I would have done. Since the first season I waited for her brilliant one liner which Heather Morris delivers effortlessly. Thank you for making her a regular and expanding on Britanny. Fondue for Two is pure genius! Seriously, if you add Gary Busey as a relative of her, you’ll thank me later. I’m talking to you Ian Brennan!
+Sam. I love the character Sam. I love Chord Overstreet. I love that Chord Overstreet’s name is Chord Overstreet. Chord! I loved when we were first introduced to Sam. I kinda was like ehhh with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love how he’s so dorky and his impersonations. Trouty Mouth is my jam!
Sam is my man and especially now because…..
+Mercedes and Sam. YESSSS!!!! Mercedes finally gets some! What a way to end the season and that’s the only reason especially from the season finale why this wasn’t a total bust! Poor Mercedes! What gives. So talented and so neglected. I really missed mad Mercedes from the pilot and second episode. Always on the verge to strangle Rachel, literally busting the windows out of Kurt’s car. Falling in love with Kurt? What was that?! And then you gave her Puck. I was totally feeling that. But what happened to that? It was like that Saved by the Bell episode when Zack and Lisa kissed and we never spoke about it again. In that episode, Santana was totally Screech. Puck is like an updated version of Zack Morris but with an A.C. Slater build. But I digress, Sam and Mercedes are totally cute. I couldn’t catch what Sam said after Mercedes and him saw Kurt and Blaine in coffee shop but I hope they don’t hide their relationship and I hope it lasts like Tina and Mike.
We should totally trend: #Mercedesfinallygetsome on Twitter. Join my movement with me! (Follow us! @RestlessTweetin)
+Zizes and Puck. Another great couple. I love how Zizes has “tamed” Puck as has his tail between his legs. Their chemistry is so complimentary. More please.
I could go on all day with more things that I really couldn’t stand and things I liked but we would be here all day. I will just sum it up with the shows saving grace from the get go.
+Sue Sylvester. Thank you.
Glee. You sometimes disappoint me. A lot. But I still watch you for a hope of redemption. You try I know you do but please stick to what you know next year.
I know I left out a lot.
Like:
Uncle Jesse
The Christmas Episode (cried)
The Superbowl Episode
The Funeral Episode (cried harder)
Sam being homeless (Favorite line from Season Finale: ” If was in love with a girl and if I totally wasn’t homeless, I totally go for it.” Its funnier when he says it).
That awful flash mob Barbara Streisand sequence.
The Wharblers. I totally neglected the Wharblers because Dalton Academy annoys.
The underage drinking after school special.
Quinn is a former “Josie Grossy!” (Name the movie reference!)
The list goes on and on. Please feel free to elaborate on what you loved and what you didn’t. Let’s start a conversation!
Till then, I’m still trying understand what transpired on Vampire Diaries this whole season and eagerly awaiting the return of Pretty Little Liars, Dexter, Weeds and True Blood.
See you next fall Glee!
