Come What May

Yes, come what may. That is the kind of balls our Glee writers need to grow. And soon. Yes that was a very negative comment against the “OMG we love everybody of all races, sizes, and sexual orientations” show. But please allow me to elaborate.

After Season Two, episode 16, the episode depicting the first “Kliss” (Kurt + Blaine kiss), the US viewing on airdate dropped by 2 million. Two million viewers followed my several million more in the subsequent episodes. Why is that? Well first of all, the data is obtained from Wikipedia, so they may not be reliable. But also, watch this video and you’ll see.

Kurt and Blaine has a perfect relationship just like any other individual having a difficult time getting over their ex. And a comment so kindly pointed out if it were Rachel and Finn they would’ve most definitely shared a kiss. So Murphy? Are you afraid? And this is the reason why you are displeasing both sides. Say if the world was, hypothetically speaking, split into homophobes and homophiles. You have lost your homophobe audience the second you introduced the potential of having homosexual couples on the show. SO after you weed out the homophobes, you are left with the people who stuck with you for the sweet couples who have been through hell and back. We want to see the couple happy, and of course, some conflict is required, but generally we all want to see these two poor souls finally getting the heaven they deserve. But time and time again, you have disappointed your viewers.

Christmas episode of Season Three, a Klaine (Kurt + Blaine pairing, for those of you who don’t speak the language) scene was cut out. And upon viewing the footage, we see a sweet gift exchange and then a friendly hug afterwards. A HUG? Seriously? That’s what a couple shares after receiving a RING? Granted it’s made out of gum wrappers, but it is a sweet, sweet gesture. 

Last episode of Season Three, after the group successfully secured their title as national showchoir champions, every couple shared a kiss. We see Finn sweeping Rachel off of her feet, we see Mr. Shuster and Emma, we see Sam and Mercedes, hell we see Brittany and Santanna gave a peck on each others’ lips. I know this sounds feminist, but honestly, this world tries too hard to please men who have to little blood to power two organs. Nobody thought that the majority of people who watch Glee would be GIRLS? And that GIRLS, like guys, enjoy certain things like a homosexual couple of the opposite gender. C’mon, use your brains will you?

So from this day forth, I will stop watching Glee altogether, because it is clear that by trying so very hard to please everybody, they end up pleasing nobody. And I am finished putting up with the congeries of mindless drama just for a crappy Klaine scene. And a Santanna song. Santanna is cool. 

Glee found its niche by wiggling into the hearts of the misfits, the ones bullied, the outsiders who can only watch social interactions from far away. But they then left the motto and navigated to another place. A place where the daughter of a poor lunchlady can afford pink dresses and matching heels for a choir performance. A place where flat characters like Sugar and Joe (the spoiled girl and the guy who won the glee project) exist because the directors cannot be bothered with a little more development. A world where people randomly teleport back to Mckinley because they have to sing a number and then fly back to Yale, because that makes sense. The “accepting” world where the lens of the camera filters for an audience not watching. The place where misfit teens once found solace is indirectly discriminating against the very people they “accept”. Does anyone else see a problem with this logic?

I started watching Glee because it delivered well. It embodies what I believe in, and the build up to the Kliss was climactic, orgasmic, and sensational. But maybe that was just the climax. Things fell and eventually flatlined. Now what I see is not Glee. It’s another high school musical with too much drama to handle and too many characters to keep track of. It's indirect judgement, indirect censorship, and subliminal messages for our morals. Save some money and call it off will you? Donate the funds to the “It all gets better” foundation or something. I’m sure that’ll get you better press and you'll at least finish in a positive light. 

I'm not going to lie. I love Glee, but the show finished after season three. It's now a new show, called Plastic. With plastic faces and plastic feelings and artificial stories and fake relationships. Plastic does not bring about glee. It just feels dead and cold and cliche.

So. Goodby Glee. Come what may, but I will love you until my dying days.
