More stuff happens in every Glee episode than in half a season of most series. It’s actually hard to keep up.I’ll use Rachel and Finn’s storyline as an example.
SPOILERS:
At the beginning they have just started dating, but Finn’s still hung up on Quinn. By the end of the episode Finn’s been out with cheerleaders Brittany and Santana, broken up with Rachel and then realised that no, he does want to be with her. Rachel’s met the lead singer of their rival show choir, fallen in love, started going out with him and forgotten all about Finn.
SPOILERS END.
There’s such a thing as too much drama. It reminds me of my first attempt to write a novel. Every day after I got home from school I sat down in front of the computer and started writing. Whenever I got an idea for a dramatic twist, I right away put it in the chapter I was writing, or maybe the next one. But I didn’t think further, I didn’t plan storylines ahead, I was so excited about my brilliant ideas that I couldn’t wait, I just threw them in. The forty-something pages I managed to write were action-packed, drama-filled and completely ridiculous. It was as if the whole story was told in fast forward.
The thing is, a group of professional writers working on one of the hottest new shows on Earth shouldn’t be allowed to make the mistakes of a 12 year old girl. Right?
But the endless array of oneliners almost makes up for it. Sue is obviously the queen of them, but there’s enough for most characters. I think I’m starting to fall in love with Brittany. I don’t normally find the “oh look, this is the stupid character, (s)he says stupid things" jokes funny, but her deathpan comments are so absurd that they’re absolutely hilarious.
