So I was originally going to do a short (relatively) post about my feels on glee. And then, whoops I wrote 6 pages. So the other half will be posted next Thursday!
So let’s talk about Glee.
From what I’ve seen scrolling through tumblr, twitter and the bottom of the garbage can of the internet (Also called youtube comments) public opinion about the love child of Degrassi and Rent is either ‘OMFG BEST THING EVAH!!1!’ or “jfc kill it with fire’.
I like to think I lay between these two camps. A mediator, a bridge, someone who swings radically from one side to the other depending on how drunk writers were any given episode.
To start, let’s look at what everyone’s beef with Glee seems to be, and their potential defenses.
Basically it can be divided into six elements; the music, characters/stereotypes, the plot, the show’s general ‘self-awareness’ and what I like to call the Protagonist Problem.
