Glee Season 4 : History Repeating, Literally!!

Seems like Glee writers really don’t have much of a story to tell! Season 4 is an evidence to this fact. When Glee first started, it was highly appreciated for its fresh approach towards making something different – a Musical. It changed the whole perspective of Glee clubs in schools. I really loved the show’s format and was into the mashups they created. But now it seems like the new season is nothing but old wine in a new bottle as the same story is being retold with new faces!

So there was this loser guy who wanted to bring a revolution of sorts by trying to get kids enroll in a Glee club (Mr.Shuester), and an underdog (Rachel) who was tremendously talented but lacked oomph!

And she was in love with this famous dude (Finn). And there was this mean cheerleader (Quinn) whose objective in life was to keep the underdog away from the man she is in love with – yes the same famous dude .

Then there was this black kid who was really really talented (Mercedes) but was always cheated of the right part in the musicals because she always had to fight for it with the heavily talented underdog! And there was a stud (Puck,Mother of god, was he a hunk!) who was rebellious and stupid but also equally famous!

And now check this out. In Season 4 again comes a loser dude (the formerly famous Finn who is at a cul-de-sac both personally and professionally) who wants to “revoltionize” Glee club (seriously now!). Enter underdog junior (Marley) with a crush on famous dude junior (Ryder).

Cheerleader Kitty, who formerly had a thing for the rebellious- stupid- famous Jake (Puck’s half- brother, no claps please!!), also likes the famous dude junior which is why she plays some really mean tricks with Marley (Gag reflex episode grossed me out totally!). And then there is a black kid (Wade Adams) who is also cheated of some really great roles because he is “unique” (phfft!). I don’t want to forget to mention this – Brittany quips, “welcome back Mercedes” to Wade this season..(ROFLOCOPTER)!

So I am predicting that as the season progresses, there will be “new” characters who can replace the old Santana, Artie, Brittany, Blaine, Kurt, Tina and whoever was left in Season 3! I think it’s time to pull the curtains down for the show once and for all now. This would strategically avoid Glee from the abyss it is falling into and also save it from contending with something as glamorous and as huge as Smash. Time to say Bye Bye “Gleeks”.. The term doesn’t sound cool either now.. Does it? ;)

Steven Eckholdt – The most Hate-able Person on TV

Ok so it’s not about his personality to start with, but the characters he has played over the years, that have made him the most hateable TV person on my list. I know he is handsome and totally metrosexual – looking, but hey, nobody coerced him into playing the two worst characters on Television. So here goes, the “ that third guy who broke the cute couple up” roles he played: Mark Robinson – FRIENDS: Who doesn’t remember his character Mark Robinson from FRIENDS? We all hated him, when he got Rachel an interview at Bloomingdale’s, we hated him when Rachel hugged him leaving Ross cold after her interview, we hated him when he got her Chinese food right after Ross & Rachel’s situation which later got very famous as the “we were on a break” scene, we hated him when he told Rachel he had a huge crush on her but didn’t act upon it because she was with Ross then, we hated him and this was the last nail in the coffin– when he took Rachel out and hurt Ross (Unintentional? ...

The Most Important Groupies of All Times

The Rock n Roll storm of the 60s was a much needed revolution in the music history which gave us many great bands and musicians the world segments as “legends” today. While we are all well aware of how much this time period was unequivocally the best time to “be discovered” in the music industry, I wonder how many of us truly notice what kind of opulence being discovered led to.Money – check, villa – check, vanity, private jets – check, fame – check, women – check oh check! Women – as musicians were a small group compared to the behemoth group of male musicians in the 60s and the 70s. Pattie Smith, Stevie Nicks and a handful more made their mark in the male dominated music industry. Also behind the veil were the groupie clan that slowly and steadily made their ways into the rainbow lives of artists – satisfying the egos and “other things” these men were “in need” of. Being a groupie was more than legitimate if these girls (also men, yes there were male groupies also ) were of...

Jodie Sweetin is back, you guys!

Three and a half years ago, I wrote a post about Jodie Sweetin and other child stars who went through traumas growing up. Little did I know, Jodie would be back with a bang! Because Full House is a syndicated show and I possess all 8 seasons of it in my hard disk (Thanks Susie !), I am frequently re-watching the show to kill boredom (or to feel good that I was born to a beautifully calm gen). And also I am a very huge fan of Stephanie Tanner that it border-lines on obsession sometimes! I was always keen on seeing where the girls of Full House would end up as grown-ups. And like most of the child stars of 90s, Hollywood wasn't generous on them. While Jodie and Candace continued to act, Andrea Barber left the whole scene to go live a conventional house wife life. I dont want this to look like a biased opinion of a Jodie loyalist, but she was special. She was not only a Grade A actress, but also a talented dancer and singer. You can see snippets of her dancing on the show in...
