4. The First 13 Episodes Are NOT The Best... No Matter What EVERYONE Will Tell You!
The thing that annoys me the most when I read angry comments sections about people who hate Glee, especially those who once watched it but now hate it more than anything else on this earth it seems, is when people say, it all went downhill after the first 13 episodes. Were you watching the same episodes as I was (I bet you gave up because all your friends pressured you into it and you actually never watched past the first half of Season 1). Like I stated previously, the first episode I watched was episode 12, and that was enough to turn me off Glee for an entire year. Yes, I can admit that a lot of those episodes were really good, some of the best (Pilot, Preggers, Wheels and Sectionals) but within those first 13 are also the 3 worst episodes of Glee ever EVER, by a mile. (Acefellas, Hairography, and Mattress) Acefellas ( episode 3) , the episode where Mr Schue forms an all-male a capella group and Josh Groban appears as himself for no apparent reason is almost unwatchable. Its basically an episode where Mr Schue tries to act all cool and young but fails miserably (funny, since hes only actually three years older than Finn and a lot of the cast). Also, everyone complains that Glee has become so Guest Star reliant, yet people seem to forget that Josh Groban (the worst of the Glee guest stars) appears as soon as the third episode. I am not saying Glee has gotten any better since the best episodes of the first 13, but its hardly gotten that much worse, and has never stooped as low as Acefellas again for example maybe the novelty just wore off a little on some of you. Hopefully it wasnt because a lot of Season 2 focused on Kurt and his issues with his sexuality because for all you Kurt haters out there, he gets a lot less annoying in Seasons 2 and 3, and a lot more mature than you would ever expect if you only watched the first 13 episodes. Also, he was played much more stereotypically in Season 1 than he was in 2, 3 and especially 4. In fact, Kurt is the character who has arguably changed the most over the course of the show, and for the better.
