Glee s3 - why I won't be watching.

[kirke_novak]

I finished watching s2 of Glee very disappointed, very angry and very, very negative towards the creators of the show. I felt like I came wanting to watch Harry Potter and was tricked into watching Twillight. I didn't understand how they managed to completely fuck up such a great start; at the beginning of s2 nearly everything was going great! They

Oh gawd, this; this forever. I won't say I'm not watching though, because I'm a slut like that. But it's not going to take much for me to stop watching. :/

I used to think nothing would make me stop watching Glee but then the NY ep happened and BARF.

[kirke_novak]

Glee had a fantastic run in the first season, before the execs realized it's a goldmine. The first eps of s2 were equally awesome - right before it all spiralled down and turned into a dating drama with pointless Dalton arc.

Stopped by LJ to catch up a little today.

I made a promise on day one to myself that s long as Chris Colfer was there, I'd watch the show. I regret that promise. I still love Chris, but I fell out of love with his character when he stood up for himself, put Blaine in his place, then turned around and dropped like a kicked puppy at Blaine's feet for a relationship.

The only thing I'm looking forward to now is how the Glee Project winners will be written into the show & how the Karofsky storyline gets wrapped up. The rest is just background noise to me now. I'll watch, but I know I'll bitch and complain the entire season.

It's the same way I feel about Supernatural, which I will see to the end but haven't really enjoyed since season 2. =/

Sometimes I forget LJ exists...

I have no problem not watching a show even if someone I love is there, if the show turns shit.

Is Karofksy even in s3? Max Adler still didn't confirm he'll be in s3.

[deviant_dev]

I'm taking Max's silence and cryptic comments as a yes, he is in season 3. I know he has met the newest cast members & that he's doing a Glee event next year, so I assume that means he will be in season 3. I refuse to believe otherwise & I think his silence is because no one knows what they are doing with his character right now, but from some things I've read, I think he's getting his own boyfriend since they killed the Kurtofsky with the creepy stuff. I dunno. I'm going to watch it, trainwreck or not. I still love Chris, Mark, Naya & max enough to at least give it a chance... I also fell in love with the two Glee Project winners. =X

On the plus side at least Karofsky got more screen time?

[kirke_novak]

Well, that is true.... but it's his actions that led to Dalton arc, so I have a beef.

[navisx]

Yeah but hopefully Dalton can burn down (or turns out to be a secret hell cult, as we all know it could totally be, what with it being in the same universe as hellboy)

[navisx]

See he's saddened that Dalton exists

Ha ha, late because real life is killing me at the moment.

I don't blame you. I'm going to give it a chance like I did with Supernatural after season three, but I doubt I'll enjoy it, and I'll probably stop watching somewhere in the middle. I'm so jaded after all the crap they pulled this past season that it's hard for me to care much anymore.

Don't mind me. I'll just be over here waiting for more Sherlock episodes.

[kirke_novak]

I'm more jaded, I can't even head the word Glee without cringing. I don't get how and why they get nominated for the Emmys.

Sherlock s2 had been rescheduled for Spring because of Martin filming Hobbit. Darn!

[teacandles]

I get you. I have a feeling I'm going to give up after the first couple of episodes, but I'm giving it a chance because I (fairly recently) got one of my best friends into the show, and I'd feel really awful if I just abandoned her at this point. I'll finish the second season with her (she hasn't seen all of it yet) and maybe go for an episode or two into the third, but I think this ship has sailed (I'll also finish the on-going stories I've got for it, but I don't think I'm going to pick up any others).

It's a shame really, but no one on the writing team knew what the hell they were doing and ended up doing little more than pandering to the fanbase and running in circles, which are both surefire ways to kill a show in my opinion.

I heard about that. I'm more than willing to wait because I'm so fond of the three episodes they've given us thus far, but the Hobbit better be worth it (I'm pretty sure it will be; I'm pretty fond of Peter Jackson's directing style).
