I haven't seen either of these episodes yet (and am wary of watching he latter one) but I dunno...Glee is kind of my trash of the week nowadays. It kind of irritates me to an intelligible rage, especially because as a nerdy writer myself I find it annoying to watch the storyline and characters going haywire. But w/e. I love Darren Criss.

SPN, on the other hand...I don't even know! I used to love it, and now I'm kind of :/ about it. It's lost that magi for me. (but I'll still watch episodes that sound okay, so mebbe I'm a hypocrite.) I'm looking forward to the upcoming anime, just so I can kind of relive the old days. And if it sucks I'll have something to make fun of and an excuse to rewatch the old eps! Whoo!

I was almost there with Glee, too--just being able to not give a shit about it, to just watch for the hell of it and the trashy fun! And then they went and had a storyline that got me and suddenly it's bringing all these ~*feelings*~ back, even though I know it's going to crush me eventually. It's so frustrating because it could be a really decent show! Just... not without a lot of work. That I'm not sure the show really even wants to do. orz

This season of Supernatural is such a rollercoaster, I swear. There's something missing from the show, even when you have a hard time putting your finger on it--I really think it's consistency with the five seasons that came before it, it feels like... fanfic, I guess? and only decent fanfic with only occasional moments of awesomeness--but I still watch every week and always look forward to more. Though, I figure I'll probably taper off once the hiatus kicks in and just not quite pick it back up for a few months. And I am totally eager about the anime! It's going to be so hilarious,

This might be controversial, but I don't really like all the focus on Kurt. I just dislike him as a character (thought, admittedly, this is msotly about his behavior in last season which he did get called out on) but I am very invested in Karofky's development. I think it's the kind of situation America needs to understand. Also, very glad that Quinn while being Christian is obviously not homophobic and I know this is not actually a Glee issue but I have to bring it up because of idiotic RL people. *kicks them*

I still feel like Supernatural has become the Dean show, which bugs the hell out of me because it was always the Winchesters show. Personally, I think it would have been best to end it with five seasons (and let fanfic take over from there).
I haven't been into any anime in so long, so I'm really excited!

Last season, I think I would have agreed with you, that so much focus on Kurt would have turned me off. But I sort of feel like he's the only character that's gotten a major storyline that hasn't made me dislike him (well, the writers, really) all the more after it was done, but instead liked him more. So I'm okay with Kurt getting the focus because a) I'm glad the gay kid is getting focus in canon (instead of just in fandom) and b) it's better than other storylines that'll make me hate other characters more

I'm a Sam girl and I personally still see him as Sam. The interesting thing about spn is that their concept of soul isn't consciousness/personality but it's emotion. So Sam is still Sam, he just happens to be a Terminator as well. I've never really enjoyed what they did with Sam post-season 3; I liked a darker, lost Sam but something about the way it went just didn't feel right with me. It could be my annoyance at Dean's storylines, I dunno. I just...I miss my young, sweet nerdy Sam! *sob*
And I'm STILL waiting for that epic "Jerk." "Bitch." moment!

[beckerbell]

I do often feel like the show doesn't really know what it wants to do with Sam, if they want him to be a woobie or a badass or a potential monster or a righteous guy or what, so his characterization kind of swerves all over the place. I feel like Dean is a lot more consistent (usually, this season he's been all over the place) and I imagine it can be kind of weird to watch in contrast to the way Sam is all over the place.

*wistful* I'm just hoping that the ending will be at least semi-satisfying. I'm not even hoping for epic anymore. Just. Don't make me want to shove my fist through the tv.

[littledelusion]

I always imagined the end to be like Angel or JLU, you know? "And the adventure continues." Except, it'd be more like "Come on, Sammy there's still a shitload of evil to gank!" "It's Sam, and I get to kill the devil." "You're on."
