I can't. I can't.

Spoilers for Glee Season 3

Aaaaand I'm out. I'll still be part of fandom, but after the downhill slide in Season 2? The proclamation that there will be fewer musical numbers? And now this bullshit? Fuck that.

Glee was never a great show - too inconsistent for that - but it did have an awful lot of potential. Shame it never got more than one season.

Me too. Come for the musical numbers, stay for the fandom. Now I'm just going to work on my fic without worrying about canon.

[livejournal.com profile] patchfire's Story of a Boy series is, as far as I'm concerned, my real season 3.

Exactly. Thumbs up to all of this. I will do likewise.

I am so glad I never settled into Sam/Kurt; that was my first Glee ship, but it is inferior in every way to Puck/Kurt, especially when it comes to the fandom.

Sounds like a plan. I'm going with my Gamesverse. I had been all concerned about it being jossed, but now I really don't care. Season 3 just won't happen for me.

A-also, please tell me there will be more of that epic tonight. Fandom aside, I'm having a rough day. I need more of that glory.

Oh, most definitely. I've edited two more chapters.

I'm really upset that he chose not to return :( but, I can't really blame the producers or the show? Harry wasn't a regular for two seasons, and he still stuck around. Maybe Chord just didn't feel invested in the show anymore? But whatever the case may be, I don't feel right blaming it on the show just because they didn't pick up a regular contract for him. That's just how things work and being in the business like he is, he should have known that. It sounds to me that he just wanted to move on and this blew up in a way no one wanted. Either way, his departure will be sad and I will miss him so so much (mostly because I'm recently getting into Puck/Sam ;_;)

Normally, I'd put the blame on the actor, not the show, but considering that they're promoting Darren to a regular, I can't blame Chord for not wanting to play ball with them, especially since they say they asked him back for a portion of the season. That's really not the way they should be treating him. The other thing that irks me is that Mercedes is getting a new boyfriend over the summer. 1) That's a storyline I want to see. Why didn't that deserve screentime? 2) He's a big bubba type of guy. For the chubby girl. Of course.

Mrargh, I'm just bitter. Short of retconning about half of season 2 out of existence, I don't think there's much RIB could do to win me back as a viewer.

idk. 10 paid episodes is better than none in my opinion. now isn't the time to be picky about work especially since he wasn't a regular last season and was on every single episode pretty much. I'm sure at the end of the 10 eps it would have been extended, too. But, you never know. Each summer between glees is a summer of lies, nothing ever makes sense because they like the rumors to keep interest in the show. What RIB don't realize is that the rumors actually drive people AWAY :/

But as for the mercedes fat boyfriend part, lol fuck that. Why can't he be skinny? I bet it's Azimio. He has to be black too, right? Obviously!

I don't know about anyone else, but I watch Glee with a very lessened sense of braining. There's nice songs, adequate storylines if you ignore the inconsistencies and pretty actors. I enjoy watching it. It makes me happy. Tbh, they could clone RM 12 times and have him be every single character and I'd still watch it just because. But I can see how this would drive people away, and that's a really big shame. If I were one of them, I would want to KEEP my viewers. Duh!
