Jun. 12th, 2010 03:59 amDAY 11: A show that disappointed you

I wanted to love this show I really did, as there's nothing I love more than a good musical. While the first part of the season was quite good and enjoyable for me the show seems to have lost its way in the new episodes this year.Too many inconsistencies in the writing, both with the characters and the storylines changing week to week, so much so that nothing that happens really matters anymore. It seems to me that rather than chose songs to suit the characters and stories they are instead changing the stories and characters to suit the songs. That makes it very hard for me to care about anything or anyone. The theme of the week thing is also starting to annoy me with the themes being constantly mentioned by characters (ie dreams, home, reputation) Subtlety is the key. I don't think this show has really bettered itself since the pilot - which rocked so very hard - and that makes me sad. :(
