Glee: 5 Thoughts

Since we had a guest blogger this week for Glee, I don't have a full episode recap for you because, well, that's been done! A big thanks to Andie for blogging for us. I just wanted to take some time to point out 5 general things I feel about Glee.

1. Mark Salling is a God
2. Cory Monteith IS a Good Singer
3. Kurt Hummel is Annoying
4. Rachel Berry is Off Her Rocker
5. Terri Schuester is a Disgusting Troll

1. Mark Salling is a God//
Mark Salling who plays Puck, is a beautiful man. At first I thought, wow this guy is gorgeous, but I didn't like the character. Obviously, he was made out to be a bad boy and semi-villain at the start of the show. As it's progressed, we've really seen the character of Puck develop in many ways, and grow a lot as well. Of course Puck still has his douchetastic moments, but he really has showed a good hearted side and a desire to not be a Lima-Loser, and has expressed true feelings for Quinn and their unborn baby. Personally I feel like Puck's character is way too good for Quinn, who though at times I feel bad for her, is still a major bitch. Mark Salling was recently on the Wendy Williams show [who not on mispronounced his name, asked an awkward question about his ethnicity, but also repeatedly hit on him in an almost creepy manner], and after watching it I completely fell in love with him. He is a southern boy with good roots and lots of manners. He was "yes ma'am" ing everything and was really genuinely nice. Mark is a great singer and actor to be able to portray a semi-villian like Puck. I'm rooting for both of them.

2. Cory Moneith IS a Good Singer//
Online in various places I've hurt much dismay about Cory Monteith's vocal abilities. While I'll be the first to admit that he's no broadway voice like Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison, he is a good singer. On his solo songs from the show ["Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore", "I'll Stand By You", & "(You're) Having My Baby"] his raw voice sounds beautiful and hypnotising. I admit that on a few of the duets and group tracks, the autotune takes over in places, but we've had a lot of good moments from Cory where his voice created tender moments. He is a great actor and has a lovely voice and Glee fans need to recognize.

3. Kurt Hummel is Annoying//
I am all for the gays. I have many a gay friend, have definitely been an advocate for gay rights but the character Chris Colfer portrays, Kurt Hummel is annoying as all hell. They over stereotype him, and though it's not bad enough as is, now they're focusing on the Kurt-Crushing-On-Finn storyline. I thought it was cute when it was mentioned in the episode where Mercedes was crushing on Kurt, but to shed this much light on it in the way that it was over dramatized, was just too much. It's very plausible that this could and has and will and would happen in high school, but the way they make him seemingly coming on to macho-man Finn, is almost laughable. They need to tone it down and focus on the real story behind it, the feelings, emotions, etc like that have been rather than trying to make sexuality a joke.

4. Rachel Berry is Off Her Rocker//
Now I know they're developing characters here and it is a comedy of sorts but at the same time these Glee folks are making Rachel Berry completely unrealistic. They are making her this psychotic, egotistical, singing robot with no concept of real feelings of life goals. They've shown that she and Finn have feelings for each other but aside from that it seems like the writers' main goal is to make her look likea raging psychopath. The Puck relationship [which while I ship it, wasn't completely necessary], the over the top drama with being the "star" and getting the leads in the songs, and now the whole thing with the crush on Mr. Schuester. That was asbsurd and while funny, not completely realistic. Lea Michele is a goddess honestly, and while she pulls of the role extremely well, I just wish they would make Rachel a bit more likeable.

5. Terri Schuester is a Disgusting Troll//
Jessalyn Gilsig better be getting paid a shitton of money to portray the role of Will's wife. She is an outrageously crazy and manipulative bitch and they need to write that character off the show ASAP. She's a bitch to her husband from the get go, she's faking a pregnancy to keep him, she blackmail's a doctor to lie for her, her sister is just as loony toons as she is, she gives high school students drugs, she's planning to take Quinn's baby as her own, and she has absolutely no concept of what "work" is. She bitched and moaned about working at a freaking bed and bath store part-time, while Will is slaving away as a teacher, Glee coach, and part-time janitor in order to provide for her lazy, bitchy ass and their non-existent child. She is unfathomably disgusting.

Well that's about it for my thoughts. Can't wait til next episode!
