Why I'm Breaking Up with Glee

Breaking up is hard to do.  And for this die-hard Gleek, breaking up with Glee just might be the worst ever.  But it has to be done.  Glee has played me for a fool, time and again, with these ridiculous storylines.  Glee's changed but my taste for at least marginally good trash television hasn't.  So here it is Glee.  It's you, not me, and this is why: 

• The Sue Sylvester Having a Baby storyline:  Maybe it's just me, but I happen to like mean, caustic Sue Sylvester who's only out for No.1.  Really, she reminds me in many ways of myself (or at least, the alter ego that I'd like to come out the next time my boss assumes my two-week old marriage and exuberance means I must be pregnant).  Honestly, this storyline is just weird.  And did no one notice that she asked students for their DNA?  I'm pretty sure a teacher in Montana or something got fired for that.

• The Rachel and Finn Engaged storyline: In one episode, Finn went from joining the Army to proposing to Rachel.  I'm pretty sure that's not the appropriate state of mind to be in when making a decision about your life partner.  Also, Finn's just supposed to follow Rachel to New York and do what?  This was not a well thought out choice kids.  Let's graduate high school first, how about.

• The Quinn in a Wheelchair storyline:  Here, Glee decides to send a "strong" message to teens about the danger of texting and driving.  I don't watch Glee to be preached to.  I watch Glee for the over the top musical numbers.  Mixing the two is weird.  It reminds me of when my mom made me put a banana in my Lucky Charms so I'd get some nutrition.

Look, Glee.  No amount of celebrity cameos is going to reel me back in.  Less preach-y, more sing-y and we'll talk.
