An official retraction

[dragojustine]

I hereby retract, take back, and humbly apologize for every bad, condescending, critical, or less-than-glowing thing I have ever said, written, or thought about Glee.

Resistance is futile. You will be absorbed.

LOL.

Oh, I don't know, the first half of the first season was mostly dreadful and often cringeworthy. But it's improved.

Wow, two great Kurt episodes in a row and you just cave! *grin*

Duets was a great episode, though.

[dragojustine]

Yup. This is me folding like a cheap suit.

What, exactly, made you change your mind?

I have to confess, sometimes the character stuff really turns me off but I love the music and I think all the Kurt stuff is just amazing. Rachel, I could do without. But Kurt and his dad- I ADORE THEM.

[dragojustine]

That's where I am. Everything else is hit or miss, but Kurt is one of my favorite characters of all time.

And I changed my mind the minute Kurt did a song from Victor Victoria. Have you seen that movie? I absolutely adore it. It just... was a genuinely really good episode- I mean, the bits with Rachel were annoying, naturally, but nearly all the other kids in the cast who I care about were getting at least something good to do (Artie! Brittany! And Tina and Mike Chang! And Mercedes and Santana! And Quinn!) and there was a new character who was just great, and then... and then.... and then Kurt stood up and sang a number that was last done in one of my favorite movies by Julie Andrews in drag.

I'm only human, basically.

I knew that I loved Kurt and I knew that I would watch because of Kurt, even if other storylines were crap. But for me, it was when he sang "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and he made me cry that I knew I would love Kurt until the day I died. That is one of my favorite songs by my favorite band of all time and he made it one of the saddest, sweetest songs ever and I just fell forever.

I, too, am only human. :) I'm glad I'm not alone. And honestly, for all the faults of the show, they have gotten a few things so incredibly right that I just can't seem to shake it.

I've stopped watching. Am I missing something really good?

[dragojustine]

Depends on how you feel about Kurt- the last two episodes were very Kurt-heavy.

(Also, character development for Brittany and Artie, and an utterly delightful new character)

I just finished Season 1 on DVD. If I keep seeing posts like this I'm actually going to have to try and keep up. *g*
