I watched the episode of Glee that followed the Stupor Bowl and was baffled by how anybody could like the show. It was on the nose, painfully awkward, implausible.

I like Glee, but it's true, that ep SUCKED.

I dislike Glee intensely, despite the fact that I love musicals. I spend enough time in my day with people being unnecessarily nasty and hateful to each other, I don't need it in my tv. Plus, as a teacher, I can't suspend my disbelief enough to even begin to enjoy the show.

I rather like Glee. It's silly and high school and drama but it's funny and most of the actors do sing their own parts. I've seen the auditions.

I haven't gotten around to it yet. It wasn't on iTMS, if I recall, and I'd given up my Netflix sub. Hmm.

I've decided that my attraction (or addiction) to Merlin is the confluence of two things: a nearly lifelong love of the Arthurian legends and the presence of two young actors whom I find astoundingly, inexplicably attractive, especially together. But as Arthurian material--and in terms of the writing--yeah, it pretty much sucks.

The cast is gorgeous and the settings are gorgeous and that castle is gorgeous and could they please hire somebody who has a clue about plausible plotting? Sigh.
