west (hollywood) side story
My prediction for the West Side Story plot on Glee is that Blaine will play Tony and Kurt will play Maria. Works best if they minimize (or understate) the social justice aspects of it.
Could be that Kurt finds a way to forgive Blaine (and himself) without compromising his theater arts college chances and then gives up the part to Rachel, though I’m not sure where that leaves Mercedes.
Edit: Bzzzzzt.

kill me now
Just finished season one of Glee. If I wrote down everything I would normally hate about a TV show, you’d think Glee would fit it perfectly. And it does. But I love it anyway.
I’ve intensely disliked a lot of the pop songs they sing when they first came out, or when they were first overplayed and over exposed — Journey, I’m talking about you — but the songs totally work within the narrative context. The characters draw me in, damn it. There’s not much else to say, or that needs be said.
But this is a blog, invisible subtitled “prolix”.
In idle moments, the show does make me think that people who really like what I think of as totally manufactured music are not so much interested in the music itself (as if it were a statement that should last the ages) as the moment in which it occurs. I guess that’s obvious. For me, though, if I don’t actually like the song in the abstract, the moment as I experience it doesn’t redeem it, and even if it did, nostalgia kills it. But that’s just me. Super picky. But I understand people with broader tastes a little bit now. Someone else’s nostalgia or sentiment, even a fictional someone else, now that I can abide.
But that’s just a side-thought. Really, I’m just thoroughly entertained. Kudos.
