Ah, yes. Those are the photos I"m referring to. I saw some other notes that confirmed they are indeed for the next episode. So, there goes Glee again, creating more ridiculousness.

Which will be resolved in fifteen minutes. That's the biggest problem with Glee for me this season-there are moments of storylines that could be good, but everything seems very rushed-Finn finding out about his dad/proposing to Rachel/the wedding planning, the story last week about the new guy not being sure how he felt about homosexuality, the storyline about Santana/Brittany's PDAs, Santana's storyline in general, and now the Karofsky thing.

Well, I'm also kind of annoyed about the suicide attempt because-it was pretty triggering for something with now warnings, and they had to intersperce it with Darren Criss's mugging for the camera.

Oh, good gravy. So many people saw that one coming a mile away. Could you actually try, Glee writers?


Thinking over this episode, I just can't believe how badly this show jerks their characters around to fit whatever PSA they've decided to deliver that week.

The thing with Will's high school suicide attempt was such bullshit. This is a guy who back in season one planted marijuana in a student's locker and then blackmailed him into joining the glee club. I can't believe that same person almost threw himself off a roof over getting caught cheating on a test (especially if it didn't have anything to do with his involvement with the glee club, which it seems he didn't and he still went to nationals and won).

And Kurt the atheist has to go to the God Squad because he has no one else to talk to about his guilt over Karofsky? Really? Not the boyfriend who helped you through getting tortured by that guy? Not your best gal pal Rachel? Not your super-supportive dad? I could understand if he specifically went to see Mercedes since they are friends, but no - he was seeking out the God Squad, not her.

And anyone remember the horrible shit people said to Rachel on her Facebook page back in season one and no one cared? Yet a doctored photo of Finn is a giant crisis.

This show is so exhausting. I wish it would go back to being the satire it started out being and not "After School Special: The Musical" as it has become.

I'm with you 100%, kostgard. This show has never been about consistency, but it could at least show a little bit for their characters sake.

They change so much with each passing episode, it makes your head spin. I don't even have to watch the show and still be mad at it. I guess that's an accomplishment, Murphy.

...Did they just kill off Quinn?

To me this is the only thing that would make the show watchable again at this point: if they went completely over-the-top and started killing off characters left and right! I'm talking about a bloodbath worthy of the last seasons of Lost, BSG, 24 and Prison Break!

I kid, I kid.

I may have joked with a friend today that we should storm Glee, take over, and announce that everything after season one never happened, and season four would be the new season two.

When the Fighter clip first came out I managed a minute in before googling the Christina version to clear my ears.
Also, can someone explain to me how they can have a cliffhanger about someone nearly dying and then first hiatus episode being about....how another character's brother treated him bad? (Although, maybe Blaine is whining because he's the ugly brother)

[Deleted]

A little too much Blaine but Matt Bomer can come back anytime. If Cooper was Will they would have won Nationals last year.

[LAX]

Maybe they write the shows the way South Park says the Family Guy writes their shows, with manatees pulling out idea balls to create a story line. It wouldn't surprise me.

I keep telling myself I'm done and I'll never watch the show again. After the stories became too ridiculous I stayed for the music, but now the music is sucking. An episode of Blaine ruining more songs may finally be the last nail in my Glee watching coffin.

I just love that the main storyline was that Blaine felt bad that his older brother teased him growing up and you know not that Quinn is now in a wheelchair and may never walk again! Really writers??
