I’ve followed you for a while but doing some lurking because yay insomnia, so I just saw @blaintism ‘s ask about season 5 and upon many years of reflection, I’ve grown to like it better than season 4 🙈🙈🙈

I feel like season 4 glee still thought it was at the same level as season 2 or even season 3 glee. Did it have some really good moments?? Of course—The Break Up episode and the “Homeward Bound/Home” mashup were two that immediately came to mind—but overall it felt like it took itself too seriously.

Was season 5 bad in many different ways? Yes but i think since it was announced after The Quarterback that season 6 would be its last, the writers were able to go relatively wild. Like I think they knew it was bad, accepted it, and embraced it. If it were any other show, I don’t think that would work, but this was Glee

lmao see that's another thing about the show in general like most of the fans are like "it's trash but it's MY trash and i love it 🥰" and im the idiot over here like "i dont think its that bad..." 💀💀 like obviously there are bad parts of glee but its hardly ever what people say it is alksfjslkf

and like yeah there are parts of s5 that i hate. like i hate the quarterback, sorry to be controversial. i hate the midsection of the competition and then the 100th episode specials. those blow lmao. but idk i have a lot of fun in the first half and there's some juicy good drama in the second half. s5 to me is a sandwich with really tasty high quality bread and all the fixins but like some really nasty lunch meat in the middle of it lmao. and the quarterback is like. one pickle slice. i dont like pickles and i can pick it off and be fine but itll still leave a bad taste in my mouth

BUT ANYWAY yeah like it truthfully is so hard to like rank the seasons in any meaningful way because they literally all run the gamut of like emmy award winning content to like bottom of the barrel cheap tacky awfulness. hell plenty of individual episodes do that too. its a wild ride but you just gotta buckle up and go for it man

"taking itself too seriously" really does fit the bill tho. like its been a while since i rewatched buuut i feel like its a lot of drama and mess and not a lot of like bright shiny moments?? like glease is good. i do is good. love the ny shenanigans obviously. but idk it overall just feels pretty mid. which is still miles above s3 and 6 alksfjdslkf
