I'll be curious as to what those that still watch this think of it tonight. After a HUGE fall in quality last season(IMO), I decided to quit watching. Will be curious if I made a good decision or if I should have given it another shot.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

I fell massively behind last season and eventually couldn't keep up. The last episode I saw live was the Super Bowl episode. But, I didn't want to drop the show entirely, so I bought the DVD set for season 2 last week and I'm currently in a marathon session. I'm at episode 13 right now and I think I will be able to join this season in time by next week.

I agree with alot of the comments from last season that Kurt and his love life became annoying as the running storyline last season.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Last year improved after the Super Bowl episode but after a half dozen or so it it still fell back into mediocrity. Overall it had the feel of writers following message boards for ideas. "The kids looooove Kurt, let's make him the main character...wait... that's sooo last week, "People are going nuts over Sue...Emmy!... more screen time!" "the fans want more quips about Will's hair, let's give it to 'em."

Sue is my biggest problem right now since they finally got away from the Kurt thing. She was once unique and likable in her mean spirited-ness, but by the end of season 2 she was just a live cartoon character.

I'm in for a few episodes but I'll probably be bowing out if there isn't a drastic improvement in the first few episodes over last season.

I miss Sam

Saw the Go-Gos cover, it was fun. Didn't feel like sticking around for more. Kind of over this show.

bring on the off-shoot 'Kurt and Rachel making it big in the Big Apple' show ... -popcorn-

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Enjoyed the humbling of Kurt and Rachel very much. At least the writers have brought back the underdog angle to the show. Much more optimistic for this season.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Please, dear god, NO. There are people actually clamoring for this?

This was very ho-hum. Good job keeping Blaine, as his number with the Cheerios was the highlight of this very boring episode. I can't believe the difference between how excited I was for the season 2 premiere last year and the level of non-anticipation I had for this episode in comparison.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Not a bad ep. Some good lines. A lot of more of the same on the drama front. Too bad trouty mouth walked. I'm glad they dumped Lauren as her one-gag performance never struck me as funny. Quinn's new look kind of hot, but the actress doesn't play badass very convincingly.

A little disappointing musically. I liked the Go-Gos and the Anything Goes half of the mashup.

PS. The Becky co-captain scene was painful to watch. I couldn't understand half of Becky's lines and what I could weren't very funny. The actress has horrible line delivery. Was the actor who played Corky a DS acting prodigy or something?

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

I'm in the middle on this episode. When they introduced the Quinn angle I thought, this is going to be hot, but the execution just died out. It ended up not being funny, sexy, or dramatic. What was the point of it?

The musical numbers fell very flat for me. The only one I thought was decent was the Blaine number. It wasn't as annoying as some episodes of season 2 so I'll keep watching, but I was hoping for a bigger rebound after the second season disappointment.

Overall I thought it was decent, and since I still have some residual attachment from the first half of season one (how was that attachment lasted so long?) I'll keep watching for now.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

i believe thats actually the way she really speaks (and she's always been like that)

Did i notice a little Carlton Dance during Blaine's "its not unusual" number?

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Also, i actually liked this episode and the music. Lets hope that they keep it like this and don't rely so heavily on "new" music.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

I agree it wasn't bad episode. There were some good lines that had some black comedy in them. I loved Beiste's reference to Deliverance.

I think the minor storyline of Becky being co-captain with Santana is a waste. I can deal with some of the unrealistic storylines Glee does, but having someone who probably can't choreograph a cheer leading routine as co-captain is just annoying and stupid. Brittany would have been better off being co-captains with Santana. I agree the actress is hard to understand and whenever they give her one-liners it never works because of her speech impediment. Becky is one minor character that I don't find funny at all. At Lauren had moments in which she was funny. Jacob Ben Israel also can be funny at times.

I think Ryan Murphy probably either took inspiration from either the Life Goes On creators or Brenda Hampton when he decided to add two minor characters with down syndrome. I haven't watched Life Goes On in years, but I remember the actor who played Corky had better speech than the actress who plays Becky on this show. The actress who played Jean was easier to understand.

Watched it twice, liked it twice, in for another season.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

I felt there was a big shift from last season. I too was behind finishing S2 and watched the finale right before I watched this episode. I'm sort of glad Sam and Lauren are gone (and Terri Schuester!!!). They need to start adding more underclassmen as it seems 99% of the kids in glee now are all seniors. The music was okay, but the Broadway mash-up was the key number. I realize it is probably tough to come up with a good one that also fits in with the plot, but the mash-ups are really the best thing about the show.

Why on earth did they manscape Matthew Morrison's chest down to stubble?!?! And thank GOD they seem to be dispensing with Emma's OCD issues so that story can move forward.

We've been promised "back to basics", and I'm still hopeful after this episode.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Decent episode. They did address some the senior/junior thing by saying Tina and Artie were juniors.

If no one watched The Glee Project, the Ethel Merman girl was the third/fourth place finisher and was given a "two-episode arc."

I don't like the Becky character either.

Blaine transfers to McKinley--I'm shocked! :)

Felt a little sorry for Santana for getting kicked out even though I can see why. Will be interesting to see what they do with that character.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Decent premiere and I liked the musical numbers. Sue was in good form too.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Wasn't bad. Gave up on catching up on last season so I missed the final 2 or 3 episodes and really have no desire to go back and watch them. I think this is going to be a show that if I'm awake I'll watch it but I probably won't be setting a season pass for it or be upset if I miss it.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

As someone who truly loved the first season, I have to say I'm a bit over it too. Realized I forwarded it through most of the musical numbers and most of the Sue stuff. I think it's a HUGE mistake graduating people off the show. I honestly can't imagine tuning in for any reason after this season.

Re: Glee -- Season Premiere -- "The Purple Piano Project" -- 9/20/11
 

Not sure why they don't just make Two Seasons = One school year. I guess they can't have the big 'finale' or whatever, but shit, this show will falter with losing many of the leads next year.

Tonight was pretty painful. Only Brittany had a few good lines. Everything else, snore.
