After summer hiatus, "Glee" is back.
And I didn't like it. The first episode, that is.
From the 20 minutes it took to get to the first song to the myriad character adjustments (Quinn is a "skank?"), I just didn't think it was strong (I did like the Rachel-Kurt scenes). And don't get me started on the pitiful Asperger's bit, "self-diagnosed" or not, which was insensitive and heartless. And stupid and incorrect. (yeah, yeah, I know this is biting comedy, but "Glee" is usually sensitive to GLBT, people with Downs, a person in a wheelchair, even when there are jokes--why such a misunderstood portrayal of Asperger's? I know six kids on the spectrum and don't think this is funny. Or in any way meaningful.)
I hope it gets better.
But until then, I'm thankful for my seasons 1 and 2 dvds.
