Fandom: Glee 2x16 "Original Song" and Pretty Little Liars

[escritoireazul]

Okay, here we go. I know a lot of people are really feeling happy about this episode and do not want to be brought down. You should probably not read this, then. There's some positive, but quite a bit of negative, too.

LOL

I just finished watching (for the 2nd time in a row) and posted my own reaction post. Our thoughts were fairly similar :)

[escritoireazul]

FREAKY CROSS-COMMENTING AND POSTING SIMILAR THOUGHTS. I totally just commented on your reaction post. :D

[tinylegacies]

HAHAHAHAHA

Also I am SO TOTALLY ON BOARD with adding Sam to the OT4 (which I suppose would make it an OT5?)

[escritoireazul]

HEE. So basically I will just keep adding people to see what kind of icons you can create. \o/

I'd always intended to write an OT4 + Sam cuddling story, but I'm thinking it needs to become an OT5. Except eventually that means the OT4 series will become a glee club poly fic like "Tied Up In Strings," which was not my intention. I will give this more thought.

(OR PERHAPS I SHOULD JUST FINISH THE "TIED UP IN STRINGS" STORY WHERE SAM COMES OUT TO MIKE BECAUSE HE'S SO JOLLY AND HELPFUL.)

Hello! My name is Jailynn. I'm sorry to burst on your page like this but I have to say:

I love your comments on Glee because I felt the same way you did about a lot of it. I'll flat out say that Rachel is my lest favorite character like ever. I'd prefer someone stronger to lead the group (and frankly her big solo song was okay, but I honestly liked Mercedes "f-u, I like who I am" better). My biggest problem with Glee is the characters don't seem to grow or change. [With the exception of Puck at the moment, who appears to be trying to] It's frustrating to watch the show do the "wash, rinse, and repeat" take on story telling

Oh, dude, never worry about bursting in. I post publicly to encourage discussion, always. I love when people stop by to talk!

YES, EXACTLY. It kills me that sometimes the characters do grow and change and then they're freaking reset because the show wants to tell the same old story again. I don't get it. And I am bracing myself for when Puck goes through the same thing; his current journey to personhood is one of my favorite parts of the show, as he grows and changes and becomes awesome as well as hot, and yet I do not trust the show to maintain it.

("I do not trust the show" is basically my mantra when it comes to Glee.)

Tina can do so much with a look, and thank God because that's all she's allowed to do.RIGHT? I mean, total kudos to the actor for managing to do that, but just imagine what

[buffyfan30]

I just wanted to say YES on the whole character development, reset thing. I'm glad they have stopped having a weekly event of Will being an ass and then realizing he was an ass and then apologizing, only to do it all over again the next week. Keep the focus on the kids, please.

I think your analysis of Quinn is really interesting and thought provoking. I love reading your reaction posts, even if just to see you flip tables.. I don't usually comment because I haven't caught up yet (sucky connection, can't stream) and I don't always have something ~profound~ to comment on. I don't always agree with you, but I respect your opinions and like reading them~!

Also, I don't know if you're into charity fic, but I personally think you could knock this prompt out of the park. It was my first thought, actually, that you'd write kickass fic for it XD
