Glee, Season 4

The Return of Glee

Dun dun dun…

The fall television season is about to start back up, or as I call it, my “my house will remain uncleaned until The Voice is done” season. There are so many great shows returning (New Girl, SNL, Glee, Don’t Trust the B In Apartment 23, etc.) and a whole bevy of newbie’s (The New Normal…actually that’s all that sounds good so far. The Mindy Project will not be getting a second season. It just can’t). However, I’ve decided to focus on one at a time, so for now, it will be Glee.

(Note that I can’t rate this yet because it hasn’t aired. Obviously.)

By show of hands, who here is super pumped for season 4 of Glee? Those who did not raise their hands may go throw themselves off a very tall bridge with a very low tide. Glee is awesome. That is fact. I will not apologize for it. And I have very high hopes for it this season. So far it’s done a pretty good job of staying consistent, considering how hard it is to do. That is, if we ignore Quinn’s temporary insanity that evaporated with almost no reason, Mike suddenly being able to sing even though NOT singing was his whole thing, Blaine’s new bipolar disease, “teen Jesus”, Kurt not getting into NYADA even though he nailed that audition (We need to buy those gold pants for Anatole), and the Trouble Tones’s entire existence. But seasons 1 & 2 were good. And I think season 4 will be as well.

Another thing I didn’t understand about last season was the multiple unresolved plotlines. Like Burt now being a politician. And Shelby magically disappearing. And wasn’t Smiles McPot-O-Gold getting “deported”, but not? And that kid who tried to KILL HIMSELF!?!?! No? None of that happened? Okay.

But luckily, everything can be solved via musical number. So, here’s hoping Glee’s return will signify a new (and also somehow old) era of Klaine happiness, less pointless drama, fully resolved problems, and gangster Artie. And besides, with fabulous guest hosts like Carrie Bradshaw and Mini Goldie Hawn, nothing can go wrong.

Also, if Copper “Cray-cray” Anderson, Ricci “Why Must You Be Gay?” Martin, and Nene “Bronze-Damn-Olympic-Medal/Over-Emphatic-Mouth-Movement” Leakes don’t make returns, I will lose it.

P.S. - Who else needs Sue’s baby daddy to be Neal Patrick Harris’s Bryan Ryan? (The answer is everyone)
