I just bought Glee Season 5 on DVD, and there is an interesting little documentary on the NYC side of the story. It features a lot of insight from Ian Brennan, explaining the thought processes behind some of the onscreen drama.
Now there were a lot of developments that didn't make sense, or that were glossed over so quickly that you just couldn't see how or why they came about. I'm not sure if it was the writing process or the editing where things fell over, but it put a lot of "strange choices" into perspective.
I think this is one of the downfalls of Glee over the years, they have great ideas, interesting thoughts on character development, but the execution seems to fall short. I guess this explains its declining fan base, but still I stay true to this show. I love the characters and I'm looking forward to seeing it through to the end. Fingers crossed that the thoughtful insight put forward by Ian is translated better in season 6.
Also.... Superficial complaint here... But the Aussie DVD cover has half of Blaine's pretty face covered by the PG rating logo. Bitterly disappointed! More effort could have been put to modifying the layout so the images were preserved. Santana lovers would be equally disappointed to see her largely hidden beneath the same logo.
