Gleeeee
Ok, I'm gradually catching up with Glee. I've just watched episode 2, and it's only episode 4 on TV, so that's manageable. But, it confuses me. YES, I KNOW. I think it might be UK/US differences though.
I get that the whole idea of the celibacy club is a complete piss-take. But, is the idea of the Glee kids being the lowest of the low some sort of satire too? I want to say it is, because at my school, people who could sing were top of the food chain, popularity-wise. But then again, in England we don't really have cheerleaders, or at least the cheerleading culture that seems to be prevalent in the States. So maybe we've replaced that with musical theatre?
Or am I just being really, really thick??
Kurt is my new favourite character (yes! I've learnt a name!). His bitchy gayness is actually hilarious, along with his resignation to how others will relate to him. It's good to see that a very very camp character doesn't necessarily have to angst. Although I'm sure that'll come later.
WHY are the two main characters soo annoying? I literally could not care less about what happens to Rachel and Jerkface McJock, or Teacher Guy, Bitchy No-Baby and the Gorm's love triangle. The supporting characters are so much more interesting.
But I LOVED Teacher Guy's rapping. A++. I could so imagine some of my old teachers doing that for a laugh. BUT HE WAS DEADLY SERIOUS XD
