Sorry to continue the OT Glee chat, but what was so terrible about that show? I've never seen it, not really my thing, but I remember people were in love with it early on, and then I noticed the TVIV thread titles starting to get really negative after a year or two.

Glee is everything terrible about after-school specials and Broadway musicals at the same time and takes affirmative action to such an absurd level that even affirmative action people must roll their eyes at it. The characters are written wildly different from episode to episode, but the show insists that it has continuity that matters. And, it made me hate Jane Lynch. Gustin was legitimately good on it, though.

I watched two episodes of Glee and it just seemed like a bunch of high school bullshit that only high school kids could really enjoy. Just...so loving overwrought and hysterical all the loving time, everything's a loving federal case and they're all gonna die if their crush doesn't notice them, oh my GAWD! Based on two episodes, at least.

Except it's a musical on top of that. Standouts: NPH guest starred an episode which was pretty decent. Also, if you're into music they've done a number of decent covers. I just wouldn't sit through a whole episode for it.

Yeah, this is why I couldn't stand the show in general. My wife enjoy(ed) it (thankfully that's over), and once in a while I'd catch a song that I enjoyed. The  ~drama~ was too much for me. Most of the songs suck, and half of the good songs they cover are done so horribly. What's left are the few songs that you can hear and not immediately want to punch babies.

Whoever said that Flash was basically Superman to Arrow's Batman was spot on! Holy poo poo was that an awesome sequence. It also reminds me how rare it has actually become to see a superhero saving people from an impossible situation (last week notwithstanding).

Astro Nut posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG8Zga3DbQs That makes the comic book fan in me squeal, and the physicist in me look for something sharp. Running up a building is not a question of speed as long as you can go faster than 10 m/s (22 mph). The problem is staying attached to the building while you do so, and no amount of "running really fast" will fix that. One push against the building instead along it will send you into empty space and then you either need to vibrate your arms fast enough to fly or you're gonna eat pavement. If you're one of those people who has trouble rotating reference frames, imagine it like running along the ground into a headwind while weightless. There's no way that's gonna end well.

As long as he maintains his velocity, he won't go splat. Unfortunately, coming to an abrupt halt after going however fast he had to go, the guy Barry saved from falling had his neck broken. Or, ... Speed Force.

I can sort've see it being obnoxious that they do pretend math to be like "no really guys, this is scientifically sound". Just have Barry run up the building without thinking about it then when he says "uhhh, how did I do that" have all the scientists shrug and look baffled.

Glee is bad because it doesn't know what it wants to be. One episode will mock high school drama with all the venom and viciousness it deserves, the next will treat it completely seriously. One episode features a gas leak that causes everyone to hallucinate puppets. This is within a few episodes of a fake school shooting. The characters vary so wildly from episode to episode that even the actors have given up trying to make sense of it. One of them even apologized to the show's audience. It's bad.

bobkatt013 posted:I hate it due to working retail during the Christmas season and for a month or 2 for 40 hours a week all we listened to was the Glee Christmas album on repeat. It was cruel and unusual punishment. I got a Glee music at work horror story for you, back when first started working at a thrift shop we only had one CD that played in the store. The first three tracks Pink's Rockstar, Raise your Glass and Just like a Pill, honestly I can tolerate Pink, she is one the better female pop stars to come out of the nineties. The next seven or so songs were all glee. and sweet loving Christ did they get annoying. They got to be so overplay that I could nitpick everything they did wrong with them. The first Glee cover was Bohemian Rhapsody. Pretty hard to Deviate from that in any way withing making it sound horrible and thankfully they didn't even try so it was passable. The next few songs were covers of some of the pretty standard pop songs that were always playing on the radio, nothing I ever listen to so I didn't really have anything to complain about what they did to them. Then came Crazy in Love/Hair. I happen to like the musical the latter song come from and the original song itself. What in the gently caress were they thinking pairing these two songs together? the first song is some awful cookie cutter pop song where the chorus is the same lyric repeated seven or eight times. The latter is from the musical of the same name and is about how growing your hair out was a sign of rebellion in the sixties counter culture movement. Why did they think combining the two would in anyway work? They also slowed down the pacing of the part of the song they took I mean just listen the orginal and the point they took and here's the glee'd verson. Why did they slow it down so much the song looses all energy at that point and become boring to listen too. The next glee cover was Thriller. Why did they and such an overbearing amount of UHN TSS UHN TSS UHN TSS, it literally overpowers everything else in the song and it become obnoxious. The final glee cover was of gently caress You but since it was from a syndicated tv show all instances of the word "gently caress" were replaced by "forget" making the song less fun in my opinion. Then we got into the Katy Perry songs fortunately there were just two, Fireworks and California Girls. This was back towards the end of 2011 so the former was starting to get annoying, also the first lyric started to bug me as well. "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" Seems kind of insulting to something that has become such an integral part of daily living these past sixty years or so. I mean yeah firewors are pretty and go bang and that stuff but how are they going to help you dispose of the garbage? I also mean that both literally and figuratively, go into the Let's Play subforum and watch Fiendly's Lets Play of Manhunt for more information. As for California Girls whoever wrote that song has obviously never seen any of Bangkok's infamous skeevy back alley sex shows. The Final song was none other than The Spice Girls' I know What Boys Like. Hearing that song 5-8 time a day nearly every day for two month is enough to turn any feminist into a Men Rights Activist. So anyways the godddamn CD was also the only thing we were allowed to play according to our manager and after two months of hearing each of those songs five time a day at the very least. It got to be so bad that a customer offered to buy the drat CD so he could smash it. When we finally got around to telling our manager about it he had trouble wrapping his head around that it wasn't just the employees complaining about it it was also the customers. Fortunately Christmas rolled around and we switched to Christmas music and my torment was over. or so I though. The CD was only twenty eight minutes long. and contained both Glee Chrismas music and the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song. For two straight week I wound out hearing both Glee Christmas music and the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song for at least TEN TIMES A DAY FOR TWO WEEKS.  Luckily, somebody dug out some other Christmas Music and after the Christmas season ended the manager left. Afterward that it became an unwritten rule that there would be no Glee Music in the store or else I'd have permission to burn the store to the ground. TL;DR I have had an absolute nightmare experience with Glee music and now hearing the song Crazy in Love now inspires me to commit acts of Pyromanical rage.

Cee Lo Green actually did two versions of the song, so it's less "TV censorship" and more "guess which one gets played." I agree it loses something in the transition.
