Hee. We totally have the same issues with this show.

A lot of the time, the characters annoy the fuck out of me. People are so extreme, you know? Sue can be really funny, but I honestly think she's pathetic. She's a grown woman who spends her life trying to make other people miserable. That's sad. Then again, I'm sure that people like this do exist. Ack, I don't know. I could deal with it last night because of that long ass hiatus, but I want some things to change. I don't want to get to the point where I watch the show on mute and only pay attention to the musical numbers

I think "extreme" is a very good way to put it. These people are all technicolor caricatures of what might be real kinds of people, and while some people seem to enjoy that, I for one go in much for the realism and subtlety. So I think there's just a stylistic clash there. But it goes beyond pure extremity - it's extreme negativity, as well as inconsistency. Sometimes Rachel is the most overblown diva ever, thinking only of herself, and other times she's soft and sweet and lovable. I feel like I'm on a yoyo where she's concerned. I think it's odd that the time she was sweetest was when she was in that constructed relationship with Puck. The two of them brought out the best in each other, like no other characters have. (Puck is also extremely inconsistent - I know teenage boys are obsessed with sex, but they seem to build him up only to smash him down to caveman status again. It's frustrating

I really like your brain.

[exsequar]

Aw, shucks. *scuffs toe* I like yours too. :D

This episode was like a major reset button :/ Everyone's kinda back where they started in the first episode :(

[exsequar]

That's a really good point, and I agree to a certain point. No one seems to have grown as a character. I really, REALLY hope we're actually done with Rachel being infatuated with Finn, though the reverse might be just as nauseating. Meh.

i think i was most disappointed by the whole will/emma thing. WHY ALL THE SET UP FROM LAST SEASON AND THEM FINALLY HOOKING UP (!) to just... end it. like that. what a let down. :\\\\

and i'm totally on team rachel/lea. she is absolutely stunning, and i could sit and listen to her sing for the ENTIRE 60 MINUTES and be happy. that said, however, i was really disappointed by the lack of some of our secondary characters. needs more artie, kurt, & mercedes!

rachel adoration aside, i think my favorite part was when finn was singing his song and we see kurt's reaction which screams SEX. i had to rewind and watch that part again. :p

[exsequar]

Yes, THIS. They really hate happiness! I mean, I actually think that Emma had a really good point about him needing to figure out who he is, but why on earth did that have to include him 1) being revolted by her virginity (?!??!!) and 2) CHEATING ON HER. Not necessary! And really gross!

I definitely agree that the lack of secondaries was really sad. They're so great! When they're allowed to be! /o\

Ahahaha Kurt was SO TURNED ON. That was pretty hot, you're right.

Sometimes I forget my middle name.

I wanted JGroff to be good so badly. He'd actually convinced me in that convo with Rachel that he was the real deal, then that look after.... UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping he falls for her. That would be a fun twist. But at least he will be adorable while he breaks her heart.

I love Brittany & Santana. 'bout time we get more of them!

[exsequar]

Oh man, ME TOO. I totally LET myself be convinced, because I am not so secretly that girl who just wants to be adored, and to live vicariously through other girls being adored. GAH. I do think he will be delightful and entertaining in the meantime, but I hope they redeem him. :(
