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, even if it's good!

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 really hope that the show is going down the path of showing what non-flamboyant gay kids are like with Karofsky, because there are a lot of those types, too. Who are into traditionally "normal" things, but still have all these feelings of being different or wrong or hating themselves because of their sexual orientation and someone like Kurt or Blaine isn't really going to reach out to them in the same way. But I'm not sure I trust the show is actually going there.

And, yes! I love that Quinn is Christian but she's not homophobic and not going on Jesus Crucades all the time. Hell, her faith is just one part of her, not what defines her, and that is lovely to see.

With this season of Supernatural, It must be weird for Sam fans because it's not really Sam, so is he still enjoyable to watch for them? (I'm a Dean girl, so none of this really registers with me. XD) I'm still waiting to see how this all pans out, but I'm kind of thinking maybe it would have been better to end at the end of s5, too. (Even if the thought of Sam in hell forever kind of really sucked.) But, honestly, I'm not even sure what I really want from the show anymore, re: the ending-ending.

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.

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."
