This meme was around a month ago or so, I think? But I didn't really do it because I didn't have time / wasn't in the right headspace / etc.

akdj;adfs If there was a question that I was hoping someone would ask me in this round, it was exactly this. Thanks. XD I will try not to bore you with tl;dr now.
I have a REALLY hrd time noticing characters other than Kurt, to the point that for some scenes I actually don't know what other characters are doing, because I've only looked at Kurt the 500 times I've watched it. XD; That said! I'm pretty fond of Artie, and I'm hoping for more development for him. I also really like Rachel. I feel sorry for her, because I don't think she means to be so irritating. (On the other hand, I totally understand why Kurt hates her so much.) I can relate to having a hard time not putting people off. :(d Who else . . . I like Mercedes, but really in the context of her friendship with Kurt. She hasn't had much more development beyond that, so. Yeah. I like Finn, but he's not one of my favorites. The rest I could take or leave, tbh. I mean, Brittany's cool, but I have seen that character so many times (with the same name, even) that I have a hard time caring. Of the adults, I love Sue, I really like Kendra and Terri (I'll say more about Terri in a bit), although they're best in small doses and I don't miss them when they're not around. I uh. Love Howard Bamboo. He cracks me up SO bad . . . I love Sandy. I realize his character is offensive and doesn't just cross the line, but offers it candy and steals it away in a white van. But I love that he's more immature than the children themselves. His scenes with Rachel crack me up.
I'll read fic of pretty much any pairing that involves Kurt, although I've only enjoyed TWO Puck/Kurt fics and they were by the same writer. yes, this is the most popular Kurt pairing. Sigh. /o\ I read Kurt/Finn, but I want Kurt to be over Finn in the show ASAP. I'm mostly holding out for Kurt to get a real boyfriend, please show be nice to me. As for other pairings . . . I like Artie/Quinn. I don't think the show has made a good job of making me care for the endgame ships though. Artie/Tina have basically no development, Puck/Quinn are all about sexual chemistry, but they don't seem to care for each other, Finn/Rachel is similar to Finn/Kurt to me, in that Finn doesn't actually know Rachel, he just likes the idea he has of her, and same Rachel towards Finn. I resent Will/Emma for taking so much screentime from the kids. XD;
Terri: like I said, I actually like Terri. I was really annoyed at her when I saw the pilot, because I thought she was faking her pregnancy from the start. But it played out in a way where I could sympathize with her more. Terri is a character that I feel the show can't quite decide whether it wants you to sympathize with or hate. Terri gets A LOT of zooms into her face, looking guilty and bad about what she's doing. But then, you know, she goes and talks.
Basically, I think that Terri is 1) mentally unstable, and her husband should've noticed that and gotten her help, instead of just rolling with her crazy, and 2) her only source of advice comes from KENDRA, who's much crazier because she doesn't even have empathy skills. So I have a hard time not feeling sorry for Terri. :(d
I think Will is probably better off with Emma, but not because Terri doesn't deserve Will. Will's relationship with Terri is long dead, and what she needs is to patch herself up and find someone that she actually loves. Not someone she clings to because they're omg high school sweethearts. Not that this is ever going to happen. They'll probably keep Terri stuck on Will. ¬_¬
Also, Terri is so not ready to have a baby right now, holy fuck. XD I hope baby Drizzle ends up with better adoptive parents.
Now you tell me your thoughts on Terri, Glee pairings and -- also Kurt as he's in the show. 8D I read a lot of Glee discussion, so don't be afraid to say whatever about him if you happen not to like him. o>

Kurt, for example, was a character I liked a lot at first. I remembered I started paying attention to him more because the LA Times ran an article on Chris Colfer right as Glee started airing, so I knew they were going to do stuff with him! I loved "Preggers," man. I thought that episode was really well done. But as the series went on, my Kurt love pretty much faded. I can't really pinpoint why? I think it's because I started really focusing on the other characters as I watched.
Hilariously, I love Finn, Quinn, and Mr. Schuester. Quinn I love because she's the mean girl, but she's really this fragile character in some respects. And she makes bad decisions and she knows it. I think what really cemented my mad Quinn love was in "Sectionals" when she didn't run after Finn to try and make amends. Yeah, she apologized later when he came back, but she knew she did him wrong. And she wasn't going to suddenly do a 180 and be all "o i so sorry for my bad choices", which I see happen a lot in American TV and it frustrates me. XD; tl;dr, Quinn has balls and is at the same time really fragile and complex and I love that about her.
Finn is a dumb football player, so you know, I am like "SOLD!". I think the show takes a few too many liberties with him at times - I mean, is he really that dumb? - but I am all for handwaving in the name of comedy. One thing I like about Glee is that it takes the stereotypes and flips them or messes with the conventions of them, and they do that with Finn. He's the Jock, but he's actually this nice guy who's pretty sensitive at times and ... c'mon, he's just a kid trying to figure out how the world works and make his mom proud. But at the same time, he's still a dumb boy who stays up late playing his Xbox.
(this is so incoherent, I'm sorry.)
SO THEN THERE IS MR. SCHUE and I really started liking him because of his relationship with Finn. I like that Mr. Schue has sort of become this father figure for Finn - Finn goes to him for advice and actually listens to him. Will himself is also kind of a moron and I got frustrated at how often he'd be holding the idiot ball or doing something stupid for the sake of plot in the episode, but I feel like his character really, mm, got better towards the end of the series? I don't know. His rage scene with Terri sticks with me, and I can't help but love his bit with Emma where he's all "... I just left my wife." Which would take a lot of elaboration on why I really like that scene but this is already getting long.
PAIRINGS, I don't actually have any I like. I don't dislike any either! I'd like to see more of Puck and anyone because I think Puck is hilarious, and I'm interested (and slightly terrified) at how Will and Emma will go. But I don't read fic or anything.
Terri is a character I'm mixed on. I've read interviews with her actress where she made it clear that she's pretty certain that Ryan Murphy isn't finished with Terri yet (and other stuff, but I can't exactly remember what she said), so I'm hoping we get more that will make me lean one way or the other. But then again, I kind of like that I don't know how I feel on her.
- IDOL IS ON, I'LL COMMENT ON MORE LATER,

Furthermore, kudos to Emma for having the guts to see the situation for what it was and realizing that she shouldn't act with her emotions. I'm so used to seeing the woman being emotional and going with whatever that it was refreshing to see the man being inclined to go with that (as much as he could, anyway) and the woman saying "no, stop. Think about this." It was a gender role reversal and it was a fabulous one at that. Emma put her foot down, but she did it in a way that stayed true to her character. There wasn't any sudden 180; she still wanted him badly, but she realized that it was just not a good idea.
ftr, I don't think the ending nullifies that in any way. Part of me wishes that Will was too late in catching Emma, but then again, I think that would go against the spirit of the show? At least, Will being just in time makes more sense than Will being too late in terms of the dramedy musical, IMHO. and I'm making no sense so I'm stopping there.
TERRI right. I am neutral on her. I think she had Finn's problem of "I WILL BE FUNNY BECAUSE THE SHOW NEEDS FUNNY" so a lot of stuff with her was really extreme and bordered on grating. But goddamnit I loved every minute of her and Kendra. "I THINK HE MADE THEM STUPID." tl;dr, I am totally cool with Terri sticking around as long as we get her sister too because that shit is funny, and I liked that the last episode really hinted at Terri developing as a character. I don't want Will and Terri to get back together, though, because it would just be bad for both of them.
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ON GLEE and I haven't even finished my rewatch. The DVDs are sitting over elsewhere, staring at me.
this thread is now a glee conversation thread.
