    My biggest gripe about the school shooting episode is that it rug swept a serious character conflict. Kitty forced Marley into bulimia, altered her clothes, actively encouraged her to throw up. Marley's bulimia became so severe that she passed out on stage causing the team to forfeit their shot at nationals. Everyone blamed Marley for this. Marley had to go into treatment that her mom could not afford. They couldn't afford Christmas presents that year because of medical bills. I was waiting for the powder keg when Kitty's manipulation finally came to light. But what happens? The school shooting. They're all huddled in the choir room and Kitty tearfully whispers that she altered Marley's clothes to trick her into thinking she was getting fat. And because they're all afraid they're going to die, Marley just forgives her, and it's NEVER SPOKEN OF AGAIN.

She’s always been greedy when it comes to her being in the spotlight. So if she thinks being on tv will make her an even bigger star it’s nothing for her to drop school and her dream show. She needed to hit that rock bottom to humble her.

Like, off the top of my head, you could have one of the characters watch Rocky Horror and starting a trend amongst the rest, it could be another fever dream moment, the gang could’ve had a movie night and all their interpersonal connections mirror things from the movie, if they want to have the kids be putting on a musical so badly it could literally just be the students attempting to stage it by themselves.

From that moment on, it was made clear that nothing Rachel Berry could do or say would have any negative repercussions or character growth.

Mercedes literally asks them to tell her to her face that Rachel was better than her and nobody does. She ends up backing out of the role.

    As someone who does theatre, the Mercedes never getting solos thing is actually extremely realistic and accurate. Every theatre director has a favorite student and they usually aren't the best. Literally at COLLEGE this girl who was tone deaf and literally looks exactly like Lea Michele (and acts like her too) got the lead because the director loved her while my friend (a girl who also happens to be black and plus size) was the best at auditions got ensemble. Rachel is also white and thin while Mercedes is black and plus size and musical theatre is notorious for prioritizing thin people and white people in theatre. Basically if you're fat pure only ever going to play Tracy in Hairspray or Effie in Dreamgirls. As a plus size girl the amount of items I've been told I was the best audition but they can't cast a fat girl as the lead is way more than you might think.

And then Marley fell on stage during sectionals bc she didn’t eat, everyone blamed her. Or when Mr Schue suspended Marley from Glee club bc she didn’t want to wear a bikini. Like not only is it creepy that a teacher wants his students to look sexy, Marley has an ED and no one seems to take that into consideration. Or in the pilot, when he spied on Finn singing in the shower and then lied about Finn owning pot so that he’d be in the Glee Club. JAIL. RIGHT NOW. And also in s05 or s06, the moment Santana shames Kurt. And the lines are filled with insecurities that Chris Colfer has and the writers used it to insult Kurt and Naya Rivera hated saying those bc she was hurting her friend.

    I just binge watched glee for the first time and to me there are 4 major plot holes or just chaotic plotlines I can never get over. 1. Rachel quitting funny girl is absolutely insane. I don't care if she was getting bored, that was quite literally her dream and she just quit? after like 3 weeks? 2. Blaine cheating on Kurt AFTER telling him to go to new york and accusing him of cheating before. There is no way that would happen. 3. Forgetting that Sam literally took care of his siblings and sacrificed everything for them. And getting a job as a stripper just so his siblings could have nice things. They only mention it once after he comes back and it's in the episode directed by Chris Colfer. Other than that he becomes this apparent stupid guy and I love it and hate it at the same time. 4. THE CATFISH?? I actually like the idea of it. That unique felt that ryder wouldn't like her so she became someone else online. But then ryder finds out, hates unique, and is going to quit glee club at the end of season 4. The first episode of season 5, they are perfectly fine with each other and are performing together at prom. Not to mention, in a later episode he is ready to fight people for being transphobic to Unique when he was the season before??
