I recently watched both the Britney and Gaga episodes of Glee, because I wanted to see the dance numbers. And, meh, to be honest I don't get the fuzz about this show. Everyone in it is slightly annoying, and when they sing soppy songs it's quite boring, no matter what nice voices they have. I don't know, it takes so much suspension of disbelief, which comes automatically in shows like SPN, or Merlin or whatever, where magic or weird stuff is implied to be real. But Glee's supposed to be in the real world, and it doesn't even follow musicals logic of people bursting into song being normal - when all I can think is "NO WAY these people MADE these Gaga outfits in a day by themselves" instead of "Cool, Kiss", well. There's a bit of a problem.

I don't know, whenever I do watch it I sort of fastforward to the music bits and try to ignore the drama. *shrug* I guess it's just not for me.

A friend of mine put it pretty aptly: It's too "after-school special".

I think it would drive you crazy if you paid too much attention to plot or storylines, because IT HAS NONE.

So I pretty much do the same thing: watch the musical numbers and whatever scene has Jonathan Groff or Darren Criss in it. Everything else is deleted from my memory as soon as I watch it.

I don't watch it for the realistic storylines or characters. Why I loved Glee since the first episode is because every character and every storyline is a bit or sometimes a lot over the top. It's so unrealistic, dramatic and comical - it's insane! It's like mixing a telenovela (the drama) and a sitcom (the unrealistic changes in the story) and unrealistic teenage expectations. In my opinion the characters are rather amusing with their exaggerated behaviour. The storylines haven't been that good in the second half of season 1 (and the beginning of season 2) but I basically watch it for the entertainment and not the intelligent plot twists. lol
