Dear Glee,

You know I love you, right? But here's the thing - I know that Rachel is the annoying overachiever and that Finn is the Clark Kent of Glee Club and that they are both interesting characters in their own right and all but, after your debut after an extended hiatus, I need to let you know something ( Read more... )

Have you seen the Madonna episode yet? Very good. And while they don't exactly get solos, Tina and Artie are shown interacting as a couple, so that's a start. What I really liked about this episode was being able to hear new voices. Like a Virgin was my favourite performance...the choreography and editing was awesome. Plus, I was so happy to hear Jayma Mays sing again. And the girl who plays Santana is really good too...would love to hear more of her.

As for the two guys, I agree it would be nice to see more of them. I'm wondering if the actors even sing or if they're just there as dancers, but then again Brittany and Santana were originally just dancers, so I'm thinking it's more likely they do sing.

I did see the Madonna episode and felt I had jumped the gun with my letter.

I liked that they had Artie and Tina but it felt very abrupt - like they skipped a whole bunch of chapters in their relationship. But it was so nice to see them again. :)

I guess I'm just tired of seeing Finn and Rachel dominate the episodes for such a long time. I loved the Madonna episode because we got to hear Kurt and Mercedes really sing (I love 4 minutes - their voices were so amazing), and I wish they would have more episodes with the more secondary characters - because there comes a point where they stop being secondary characters and more like props for the protagonists - and I think Glee is (or was depending on the direction of the episodes after Madonna) going in that direction. Of course, it seems that Glee is being a little meta because both Kurt and Mercedes expressed similar frustrations in the episode that I wrote about in my letter so who knows.

I guess I should just be patient. :p
