I'm late to this, but I totally agree. He's Benjamin Buttoning and aging backwards.
Jensen is hotter probably, but Stefan Salvatore is better as a character, so Stefan.
1. Agreed with Coach Beiste storyline. She wanted to be treated like a girl, was what she had said from the start.
2. Brittany is a genius – (insert multiple swear words here)
3. Rachel getting her own TV show after a terrible audition. Pretty much Rachel getting everything outside of high school and never really failing again
4. Any of the Glee club members marrying any of the other members…no. None of them had relationships that were strong enough to withstand even high school
5. Marley thinks she’s fat and has no confidence. Then has confidence a second later, but still thinks she’s fat? What in the actual f was that?
Favourites are Santana, Mercedes and Quinn.
Least favourites are Rachel, Brittany and Kurt.
I think it's kind of the opposite. People really, truly relate to the teacher who wants to relive his glory days, but is stuck in a dead end job with a wife whom he doesn't really love anymore. To the kid who tries so hard at being liked and is hated by everyone. To the quarterback who doesn't fit into his own box, and so on. To wanting to feel special. This show actually started out very realistic, if somewhat exaggerated. It wasn't just about singing. It was about singing despite how much life sucks.
Brittany. A useless background character until they started putting her in every single shot, to the point that, even when someone else was talking/performing, we’re still seeing her face. Then, when they tried to make her speaking a character, it was like, enough with these ‘funny’ one-liners, this character is not funny. And can’t dance in a group number. And is not relevant. What’s worse is that her poor acting and delivery is made more obvious by the fact she’s almost always paired with Naya, one of the show’s best actors.
Finn. He became abusive and never really grew out of his ‘quarterback’ sense of entitlement.
Rachel. At her core, she was never a good person and that didn’t change. And the truth is, when I imagine Glee without Rachel, I see it being better. I see the other characters having more screen time, and being allowed to flourish or fall, and the show wouldn’t have sucked into the black hole that she became in the Rachel and Kurt show.
Kurt. For the most part, I enjoyed his character, but he also fell into the black hole trope that Rachel did, always appearing out of nowhere in scenes he didn’t need to be in to add his two cents to conversations he wasn’t a part of. When Tina was getting bullied, Kurt appeared and then it was Kurt’s scene, not Tina’s. When the God Squad are talking about suicide, for some reason Kurt is there to tell everyone they’re wrong even though he’s not part of the club.
Sue. I didn’t mind evil Sue. But I never understood good Sue and her random bursts of empathy and doubt. If they had stuck to one personality, or maintained consistency with the character, she wouldn’t be on this list. It would probably be Will instead.
That said, consistency was something all the characters were not written with.
This show set itself up to fail. It established a few characters who are essentially bad people, but with a few good traits (Rachel, Will, Kurt, Finn), and gave us little to nothing on the others. Then it forced itself to walk a tightrope, trying to balance what vocal fans wanted with trying to keep its few characters from became too unbearable. It tipped more toward the former, which is why all the characters became unbearable. And we still only got a little on most of them.
People who still loved it after season 1, I feel were being generous, and only enjoying parts of it.
I think it was mainly good timing. A lot of feel-good dramas like the O.C and Gilmore Girls had just ended and people wanted something a little bit more real. Plus, it really struck a cord with that whole 'being part of something that's special makes you special' schtick and its balance of semi-realism and melodrama.
1. Quinn
2. Santana
3. Mercedes
4. Tina
5. Sue
6. Blaine
7. Coach Beiste
8. Sebastian
9. Roderick
10. Will
I know some of these were written worse and worse as the seasons went on, but for the initial goodness, and for the laughs, I have to credit them.
Totally agree with all of your opinions.
I'm hoping it's surprisingly good. But we'll see...
I chose one from each year that hopefully hasn't been mentioned, that highlights the 90s best and showcases the different types of movies being produced each year. I think more than anything, the humor is especially fitted to the year, coz a lot of it just turns very bad and weird later on.
1990 – Ghost
1991 – Terminator 2
1993 – Hocus Pocus
1994 – Dumb and Dumber
1995 – Babe
1996 – Romeo+Juliet
1997 – Men In Black
1998 – Rush Hour
1999 – 10 Things I Hate About You
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for.
If it's blond male actors who were 12 in 2000 or thereabouts, I'd say the following were pretty well known at the time:
Jeremy Sumpter of Peter Pan 2003
Lucas Till, who was in X-Men both as a kid and later as an adult, and is probably more well recognizable as that guy from Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me video
Max Thierot from The Pacifier 2005
William Moseley, who’s best known for his role as Peter in the Narnia films but was acting before then.
And, I mean, obviously Haley Joel Osment was famous in the 2000s.
She doesn't and I love it.
When you leave Catholicism, no one locks you in the church or runs you down with a car.
We shouldn't minimize the actions scientologists take to prevent people from leaving, and what they do after people leave. They plant cameras outside houses and stalk people. If you're Jewish, they'll get people dressed as Nazi soldiers to picket outside your home. They'll dig through your trash, have strangers follow you around, all in hopes of achieving...what exactly? Who knows? But they'll keep doing it and won't stop.
Tell me any religion that would do this? Tell me a religion that would run you over with a car, thinking that's going to make you want to stay?
I'm with you. If Katie Holmes is free now, she should speak up too. Both of them should team up.
As Leah herself has stated, she only ever planned to talk about it in her memoir and move on - but people who have left have contacted her and asked her to speak up. As someone who has led a lot of people into the religion, I'm sure she sees publicly outing them as a way to make up for that.
Is Katie Holmes officially out? If so, I would love for her to sit down with Leah for an interview.
Does the Edge of Seventeen count? I'm behind in my movie watching.
