Just got done watching the first 5 episodes of S3. These episodes were all good but it feels like after Mash-Off the downfall of S3 starts.
It sucks and is surprising that Zizes was offed so ND could go back to their underdog status in terms of membership but they actually gave an "ending" to her character which is surprising given the shows constant disappearing characters at the drop of a dime.
Another character that is suddenly gone is of course Karofsky. It is a mystery why the writers decided to just drop him when it looked like he was becoming a big character. Sure he shows up twice during the season but it feels like such a cop out to not really deal with coming out to the full degree.
Sam is of course also missing due to the drama of the producers wanting Chord to keep on guest appearing instead of being upped while they upped Blaine to main character status. Blaine is just on a constant downfall it seems, he isnt quite the Warbler he was in the first 5 episodes but he isnt the dramatic whiny Blaine that we all know now who just follows Kurt around like a puppy dog.
We had A LOT of ongoing storylines at the beginning of the season which was a bit refreshing. The musical, Mike Chang and his parents, school president, Santanas coming out, the divide in Glee Club. All were really good storylines, of course up until Santana slaps Finn for accidentally outing her. The end of that episode is not finished up all that well and what follows is probably one of peoples most disliked episode of the season.
Santana/Brittany rejoining the Cheerios was a bit of a surprise originally but of course the Cheerios are to big of background characters to not have any main cast members representing them. With Santana temporarily rejoining the dark side, I wish that Quinn had rejoined instead of going all goth on us. After the end of S2, seeing her rejoin Sue in her quest to bring the down Glee club from inside would have been fun to see. This would also mean more Quinntana moments and with Santana getting kicked off out of ND wouldve meant that the two could've teamed up to take on the Glee club before Santana rejoins, not to mention seeing Q having to deal with taking orders from S wouldve been funny and make for a nice storyline.
The formation of the Trouble Tones was GREAT and a great storyline. Half the club is fed up playing 2nd fiddle so it only seems natural this would happen if they were given the opportunity. All of their performances were better than ND, so of course I thought that they deserved to beat ND and that wouldve been a shock. The writers could've always folded the group back together after Shelby left and take on the ND mantle again.
