Doing my feature, but I can't find the instructions for the analysis. Gah.

They have great songs!

ETA: Season 1 and the second half of Season 2, on occasion. Some Season 3- Hold On To Sixteen, The Spanish Teacher, Heart (excluding Karofsky), and Dance With Somebody.

I generally did not like S2 of Glee.

Season 2 is my fave. Season 3 is starting to annoy me at the moment.

Season 2 was just... I mean, as a fan since the beginning, watching S1 as it came out was the most rewarding experience. Every episode of S2 was far less exciting to watch, and there were too many continuity gaps.

But I mean, I'm pretty sure S2 was both of your first seasons (that you watched as it came out), and generally your first season is the most special to you, especially in a fandom as interactive as Glee. You watch trailers, hear (or try to avoid) spoilers, etc.

Well, my first season from watching it as it came out is S3...

Watching Vampire Diaries. It's the break, so I'm trying to think of a nasty insult for an emo...

Hey everyone!

Getting ready to watch the last episode of season one of Game of Thrones. I've been putting this episode off for days now...

And also this marks the beginning of my last month of high school forever! My official last day is June 6th, because graduation is on the 8th but...I'm so excited. I can't wait to be done with it all.

How's everyone?

Anything related to self-harm or suicide.

Season 1 is what we old fans call "the days when glee was good".

ETA: warning, Ely: the last episode starts exactly where Baelor left off. EXACTLY.

Season 1 will always be my favourite for songs. And part of Season 2.

What do you mean, not-quite pretty? There's no such thing. Everyone is beautiful.

Good point and well taken. What I mean, is not "cover of a magazine, airbrushed to death, partially CGI, shaming everyone who isn't exactly the same" looking.

Ah, I see. Well, power to your cover model! And to your publishers! And you! And your character!

Pretty is better than airbrushed hotness.

Though this is coming from me.

But it's important to remember that the models who get airbrushed are not the ones to blame for our society's distorted view of beauty. It's the companies that airbrush these women and promote that image as the sole acceptable form of beauty who are responsible.
