    Ok, so lets talk about the Glirks that are in Glee.

    Edit, this is a contstructive critique sort of thing, so haters not welcome.

    I have one or two things:
    • Miming; Now its obvious that the songs the cast are singing in the show are studio recorded songs (and excellent recordings too) but the cast do seem to do a poor job of miming to the songs. Its blatantly obvious that they are doing it and can be irritating at times.
    • Stupidity; Finns stupidity in regards to Quinn's pregnancy. He believed the whole story from Quinn a little to easily imo. The whole nonsense about the pool and ideal conditions etc... He never even asked any difficult questions about it. I mean, we are in modern times, hasn't he heard of the internet?
    Thoughts fellow Gleeks?

    How much money this thing has made - Right, first they must be making a killing with TV advertisements, they've swept the market in the USA, and now Europe! On top of that, they're on top of the music charts all the time. All this for their crappy auto-tuned songs.

    So what is it that bothers you exactly?

    That this thing is gonna be around for years (like Lost) - oh yes, and there'll be millions of annoying spin-offs for years to come.

    This really annoyed me too, I mean come on, what high school senior would honestly believe that?
    Can't really think of anything else at the minute, but if I do I'll post later.

    I love how we can say Gleek openly and not be :o or scolded in the main tv forum! :)

    Finn believing Quinn's story didn't really annoy me because I felt it was very tongue in cheek, kind of taking the piss out of other teeny programmes. I think it was just a joke, we weren't suppose to really think any high school senior would think that.

    The only thing that annoys me is when their lips are out of sync while they're singing...

    Everything else is spot on though...
    The stupidity of the characters is what makes the show great...

    The miming and the crazy pace at which the storyline moves...

    The bad miming is really the only thing that annoys me, and the fact that their voices are sometimes made too perfect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭ashyle


    hate the auto-tuning!! Will's wife was funny in the first few episodes but with this pretend pregnancy thing she's just a horrible person now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,850 ✭✭✭FouxDaFaFa


    Pretty much the only thing that annoys me is the out-of-synch miming. And also when they do raps. It's just not right!!

    Also, they occasionally make Rachel's voice very babyish or sugary, I much prefer how she sounded in

    Spoiler because I can't remember how far tv3 is!
