She's my struggle with 'Marry Me' too. I caught up with both episodes after mainlining 'Burning Love' and 'The Hotwives of Orlando' and was left feeling like I actually don't like Casey's delivery. In Happy Endings it worked because the whole cast, starring and supporting, were like that but the fact Ken Marino seems to be almost too passive here and it doesn't work for me. It's not even about energy levels either but there's a strange disconnect between the two and I'm not feeling their love story. Also, the supporting characters don't make any sense to me. Obviously, they've got to find their legs but Annie seems to be the only rounded character and she doesn't come across well.

It almost felt like watching Dawson's Creek fanfiction brought to life, with Pacey being stuck in Capeside. But that's probably on me and seeing my shared TV boyfriend in almost everything Josh does. I do like the programme but I'm still waiting for something to happen. Yes, we've got that someone's died but there's build up and there's build up. This is all dreamy, ethereal and whimsical, on both sides, and there's nothing really going on. I get we need to have the scene set but this is ep 3 and for such lengthy episodes, there's not a whole heap going on.

He seems lovely on Twitter and it's so nice to hear he's the same in person, slasherboy! I'm not at all jealous... much. I'm glad I've read some of the spoilers now because the last few episodes have been a little too WTF for me so now to see how these things are all executed. My hope is still not high.

I think this was the final episode where the bad writing couldn't be waved away or ignored by me any more. Gunnar having a kid and only finding out as the mother and son are about to leave Nashville? I consider it the moment the shark was jumped. No one learns anything, either from their own mistakes or having seen others do it first. Luke continues to be an odious creep with a massive chip on his shoulder and his comments about Rayna just working through the girls' complaint struck me as rather telling. I'm not interested in meeting his daughter who, conveniently, happens to be at dance camp. If we have to see more new faces, let one of them be his ex. Let's see why they divorced. Because that man there? Not a nice one and his entitlement is off the chain. Also, for a show that lasts an hour, I'm often bored and feel my mind wandering. Not because of my attention span but the show isn't interesting enough to maintain my focus. It used to be but somehow the country aspect got shoved aside and the soapiness is at the forefront instead. No amount of cute accents, to me, are going to help with that if the writing remains as turgid. It feels a shame because I did love this show once upon a time and now? Now I watch out of loyalty to the cast, I guess. That's happened before in the recent past for me and even then, I ended up cutting the show loose from my viewing schedule because my time's worth more than that, even if it's spent playing Words with Friends instead.

I'm not a Kurt stan, by any stretch of the imagination, but my initial gut reaction was "good. At least they can't massacre his character further." With the personal reasons aspect too, the gossip will be high and it'll all come out eventually, even with the PR spin but no more Klaine! No more Kurt propping Blaine. No more Kurt propping Rachel. Good luck, Glee! You're gonna to need it. ETA: hacked? Yeah, okay then.

Looks like Hulu isn't going to be the show's saviour here so we may actually have to really say goodbye before July starts.

Oh goodie! More competition and OFC Nude Erections will win because how couldn't they? It's the best way to bring it full circle! Wow, they're beyond scraping the barrel. They're scraping the earth below it and disturbing the worms that are more useful.

Oh, I know. I don't expect it to be. I've dipped in and out since making the decision to drop it, because characters I've always loved have returned, and each time it absolutely flabbergasts me that anyone still tunes in. Objectively, I know Glee wasn't all that even when it was at its peak but there was something worth returning for and I was one of those people who watched 'Popular' when it was on so being let down by Ryan Murphy isn't a new experience either. I hate that he keeps bringing Cory up as a shield to deflect his own awful shortcomings with the show but like Glee itself, he makes it up as he goes along, even the facts don't add up with what he's saying. Trying to make Glee Degrassi 2.0 was never going to happen, however adamantly he believes it should have been.

Which is why we had the tired Sue V Glee battle every other week? Or so it seemed. Is it also why Glee Club was folded in S5 so we could be bored to tears by some of the dreariest storylines ever? Where you even managed to make New York City itself boring by virtue of being the backdrop for this charade? Are we going to have more retreads of the stock storylines and characters reduced to one characteristic because your writing team are even more bored than the general audience? And so on but he's got another plaudit celebrating his "genius" so I doubt he cares about anyone's displeasure. I gleefully, pun intended, look forward to the spiralling downward trend of audience numbers leaving in droves. Because at this juncture, all I can do is thank the show for introducing me to some of my favourite cast members and that's about it. I gave the show up in S4 but there's a tiny part of me that remembers how much joy the show gave me and like a fool, I keep hoping against hope that it might gave me it again.
