I don't have much trust in the writers but I thought it was reasonably well done. I didn't see it as overly manipulative, because well... they are trying to manipulate us, every week, like every other show that we watch. <br /><br />If nothing else I thought there were some surprisingly great performances.. like from Chord and Becca, and plenty of good camera work. This was also the first episode all season that I chose to watch twice... and all my favorites are in the NYC side of things. <br /><br />My biggest problem was with Brittany's end of the world repeat. She's just not funny any more. Plus as a reformed Brittana shipper, I am disappointed that with two end of the world scenarios she hasn't had even a throw away line like "Maybe I should say goodbye to Santana." Heather's bathroom scenes, however, were so on point and probably the best non-dancing work I've seen her do on this show. Everyone has said she can't handle the heavy stuff, but damn if I didn't feel her terror. <br /><br />My other problem is how disjointed next week (errr Today) will feel as we skip merrily back to NY. In general Glee is not aces about remembering what happened in the previous eps, but people who go throw something like this are deeply changed and well be lucky if Glee even acknowledges that this happened in a future episode. Most likely we'll be back to cracktastic/crapstatic shenanigans and it'll be like this never happened. <br /><br />Sue me (another great showing for Jane Lynch too and for Sue's character too), but I kind of liked it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-62608786121380015252013-04-13T18:18:53.353-04:002013-04-13T18:18:53.353-04:00This episode was frustrating for me as someone who...This episode was frustrating for me as someone who never even saw the drama of it.<br /><br />To me, it tried to be emotionally manipulative. And it failed. The episode was just boring.<br /><br />Worst of all, through all the tearful goodbyes, none of the characters were actually in any real danger.<br /><br />The standout for me this episode was Jane Lynch. As soon as Sue said the gun was hers, I instantly knew she was protecting Becky. That's the one thing that got me. <br /><br />As for everything else: confirmation of why they should have just dropped the Lima side. It was and is BORING.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-50452408761731130862013-04-13T16:06:32.909-04:002013-04-13T16:06:32.909-04:00What's with the Naya-haters?

Are you jealous of her ability to rise above the often mediocre Glee writing?<br /><br />Personally, I'm with those who were surprised they didn't bring back crazy-Quinn as the shooter. That at least would make sense contextually.

Do you know all this for a fact or did you see it on the internet.<br /><br />Not sure what your apparent hate of an actress who didn't even appear in the episode has to do with the Glee PTB blatant attempt to make us care about the 'new gang'.<br /><br />Also, Brittany was never meant to be a major character. She's comic relief (when written correctly). And she apparently doesn't WANT the heavy emotional scenes.

And it frustrates me to no end that instead of using her talent properly, the writers pushed her into background and used as a prop in Santana`s coming out storyline, while she is much more talented actress when it comes to drama/crying scenes/kissing etc. then Naya Rivera will ever be. IMO opinion the only reason that Naya was so overexposed during Season 3 is because she had been going out/sleepping with one of the writers – which makes the whole situation even more gross. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-3448621660108988472013-04-13T06:02:26.597-04:002013-04-13T06:02:26.597-04:00THAT IS SOOO VEEEERY TRUE!!!!

Thank you. <br /><br />Do you think that on some level, it was a manipulative attempt to get the fans to finally connect with the new characters? Or just the Lima side in general? With everything still up in the air regarding season five and all? It bothers me that some people are talking about this episode as if it was intended to raise awareness for gun violence, because it didn't feel that way to me. In the end, they were never in any harm? There was no violence. It was an accident. And it felt like a cop out. Like they weren't simply capitalizing on school shootings, but specifically a victim's fear, and not so much to facilitate any gun control conversations, but for some kind of emotional blackmail/manipulation.

She didn't say anything negative whatsoever about the acting abilities of the cast. They did a fine job with what they were given. It's what they were given that was the problem with last night's episode.<br /><br />Naya usually gets praised because she takes the material they give her (which is, to be fair, usually less shitty than what they give the rest of the cast), and she makes it better through her comedic timing and delivery. But her presence couldn't have made up for the disgrace that was "Shooting Star". The whole concept of the episode was just wrong, and that has nothing to do with which actors are present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-9416358850182078272013-04-12T14:15:44.357-04:002013-04-12T14:15:44.357-04:00Yup, this was a manipulative pile of crap designed...Yup, this was a manipulative pile of crap designed to make us care about the new kids we've rejected all season long.
