Relationships in Glee

We had a Glee marathon last night. We were one episode short of the entire first season. I love the music, but the same cannot be said of the storyline. Something about it bothers me. Other than Kurt, there's really no one else I can truly sympathize and relate to and cheer on. Rachel is too much of an overachiever. Finn is so dumb at times. I feel sorry for Quinn but she's also such a bitch. Just when I thought Puck was about to redeem himself, he disappoints by refusing to give up tail. The others are way too minor to comment on.

The way adult relationships are portrayed is bothersome as well. I have no real problem with the antagonism between Will and Sue. The protagonist needs an arch nemesis right? The one between Will and Ken is rather flimsy. He asked her to settle for him, why blame anything then on Will and her? The main problem I have are the relationships between Will and Terri, his wife, and Will and Emma. We don't really know what the real problem in the marriage is because they never talk about it. All we know is that Will and Terri were high school sweethearts. Terri is by no stretch of imagination a good wife as portrayed in the show. However, does Will do the mature thing and talk to work it out? No he doesn't. Sure he "does the right thing" by trying to please her the best he could, but they never talk about the root of the problem. Yet, in school, in order to try to escape problems at home and seeking approbation elsewhere, he builds an inappropriate relationship with Emma. The tension between the two is palpable. So much so that word reaches Terri and she gets a job at school to remind the two that Will is still her husband. Will shows great impatience at Terri's presence. Even that does not curb the sexual tension between him and Emma. Why am I laying the blame on Will? Because he's supposed to be the good guy. We already know that Terri is a dumb bitch. It disturbs me that the essential message this sends is that if you are a good guy and you find a decent woman, it's perfectly fine to find and flirt with someone already in another relationship (no matter how imperfect) and not work on your relationship with your wife of at least five years (no matter how much of a bitch she is).

And one more thing, the other problem I have is between Quinn, Finn, and Puck. Since when has it been acceptable to pin paternity/fatherhood on someone who's not the father? Fine, she's pregnant, she's a teenager, she's confused. Then Mercedes tells Puck to back off because he's done enough to Quinn already? What's her excuse? She's a teenager too? Quinn is shallow, ruthless, a daddy's girl, and a bitch...I don't have a point. I just wanted to call her names.

What a stupid show. I want to skip all the drama and go to the numbers. Now that I've thought it through, watching it irks me.
