Before you start to rage, I love Glee. However, it’s his a Sophomore slump, and I’ll tell you why:

The first season had a HUGE dramatic build up, nothing but overarching drama and dynamic characters. There were like, three relationships, the Quinn Triangle, the Shuster Triangle, and Artie and Tina. That was it. MAYBE one more, if you count Jesse’s like two episodes with Rachel.

There were plenty of unlikable characters, like Sue and Puck, that underwent dramatic changes.

The problem is we no longer have any villains except the tired old Shuster/Sue drama, and there’s a new relationship every week. EVERYONE is dating, and I mean everyone. Every single character has a romantic interest this season.

Beyond that, to quote Jack Black, they forgot about a little thing, it’s called the music. In the first season, every song was meaningful and made you feel the lyrics. They really harmonized with the plot and it was amazing. You can use ANY song, but they have to feel meaningful for them to succeed in making the show emotional.

To top it off, the overarching drama I mentioned earlier has been replaced with episodic dribble. It’s a crying shame. They really need to kill some of these relationships, avoid the sex a bit more, make the music matter and work in some real drama. Heck, they could even hire me, I know I’d write a great plot for Glee! I am an author by trade, after all.
