I think the thing about the fan base is you can’t take anything too personal because it all comes from a place of passion. There are some people who love the characters. There are other groups of people who love the spectacle. When you do the spectacle, the people who love the characters get pissed. “Fuck them, why aren’t they doing a Brittany and Santana story instead of a Michael Jackson celebration?” Then when you do the opposite they’re like, “You know, where’s the tribute to Frank Sinatra? This is bullshit.” You just can’t win. So I think you try to do the best that you can, and I really do respect the fans, because I think it’s a young audience, and I think it’s a very Internet-savvy audience. We care about the show and we care about the characters and the tributes, but it’s a young, rollicking show by design. I get that sometimes people fall in and out of love with it in the course of two episodes. (…)

I will say the story for season four gets back to the underdog status [for the characters] and that will appease people, maybe. Sometimes I feel that you can’t win. It’s just a volatile group of people that watch it, and for that, I like their passion. Anybody who’s ever done a show about youth has told me they went through this exact same thing.

Ryan Murphy Dissects Glee and American Horror Story, Addresses Fans and Critics from vulture.com (via allcory)

At the end of the day he knows what he’s talking about. You cant win either way, we’ve seen the writers write in things that people have said over Twitter and Tumblr but there is no end to what people want to see and what they don’t. Glee is famous for its bad continuity but with the pressures that the writers face on a daily basis i think they’re doing pretty damn good.
