You know, I did a whole big burst of meta at the beginning of season 3 trying to make sense out of the story arcs and character arcs and themes of this show, then every week the episode was like an etch-a-sketch someone had shook and had nothing to do with anything else and--I gave up. I just watch for the random bits of glee, and try not to think too hard.
But then, my very first fanfic (written before there was an internet to post on, thank god) was freaking Power Rangers, so clearly good source material is not one of my fannish requirements. But oh how I love it when the show is actually good. It's like getting double chocolate fudge cake instead of a twinkie.
