Whatever's Meant To Be Will Work Out Perfectly

I had plans to get into this post to get into how fucking utterly delightful last week's Reign was, but then I caught wind of this:

I know I'm 31 years old and haven't watched Glee in like three years (and I thought that Ryan Murphy and Lea Michele hated Dianna Agron's guts), but if they end this terrible show with a Puck/Quinn wedding (hey why

Personally to me it's not just the many subplots, some of which I'm not interested in really, it's that there are too many characters that I don't think serve much of a purpose: Taylor for example seems like such a cliché because you must have the bitchy high-school diva around and Sophia's romantic interest in her seems very contrived to me. That being said, obviously that's just my personal opinion.

ETA: I had no idea that Lea and Dianna didn't get along.

I think that's a problem with a lot of the CW shows- the CW seems to be a welcoming little hub for scifi/fantasy angles that might not translate well to the big wigs like HBO, etc. but they also need to have these staples that someone thinks they need to provide to a teenaged audience (high school cliques, love triangles, etc.)

I'm generally not a big fan of love triangle but in this case I don't really mind. I think you made some really good points about what every character's headspace is at the moment so it doesn't feel like too much of cliché to but other things kind of do - mainly Taylor's character, also Lucas who doesn't seem to serve a purpose other than Roman's go-to tech-guy. I just wonder if the same things could not have been accomplished with fewer character to make the story denser and give the characters more of a profile. But again, that's just my personal opinion.

Yeah, I don't get Lucas either. I don't get how he became such good friends with Emery, unless he was also in the hospital at some point or whatnot.

Ash, we share a ship! I didn't know we did, since we differ on so many others, but PUCK AND QUINN! PUCK AND QUINN! Thank you for linking this--not only did I dissolve into tears I thought I was long past, but now I have to go download this episode!

WE SHARE A SHIP WE SHARE A SHIP WE SHARE A SHIP.

Yeah, dude, the paltry stories these two had kept me tuning into Glee for like two seasons longer than I should have.

OMG. I just watched the whole thing. I haven't seen an episode...since, uh, I don't even know. I watched through the end of S2, but even by then my heart wasn't in it because they'd destroyed Puck and Quinn (and seemed to have forgotten they even had a past and a BABY and everything). So I may have seen one episode in S3 that I can't recall, and I did watch the Finn tribute ep, but didn't like it since there was no Quinn. But this episode was so great in the callbacks--and then my SHIP! MY SHIP. I mean, I've seriously been waiting for that since 1x04 "'Sup, MILF."

I love them so. And it looks like they'll be on next week, so I'll have to watch that, too! Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! /veronica mars
