Re: Story lines you wish the source material had treated differently

Not quite the same thing, but BuzzFeed recently did a crowdsourced listicle about unresolved moments from TV shows. As you can expect, a lot of them...weren't unresolved moments, but resolved moments these particular BuzzFeed readers didn't like. But my biggest WTF unresolved storyline is from Gossip Girl. There's an episode early in the second season where Dan & Serena have broken up and Dan starts seeing this new girl who's interested in him and Serena & friends decide to mess with her life and I think make her bald or put Nair in her shampoo or whatever.

At the end of the episode, it's revealed that the reason this girl was so interested in Dan is because she was specifically being paid by Chuck to be interested in Dan. This is never revealed to anyone other than the viewer and never mentioned again and it really bugs me.

Also season 2 of Quantico would 100% be better if it had been gayer. Caleb is established as having an older sister throughout the first season. We meet both of his parents, but not his sister. Season 2 gave him an older brother the fuck out of nowhere and Caleb's mostly been written out of the show by this point (he appears in like 3 episodes, I think) and they do this whole long and drawn out "will they or won't they" between Clay, the older brother the fuck out of nowhere, and Shelby, who is a main character in her own right but who was also romantically and sexually involved with Caleb all throughout season one. It makes me so mad. And then you know, there's the fact that Clay is engaged with a fiancee. I'd have next to no issue with this storyline and character if they'd just gone ahead and created a female character, the sister who already exists per the canon.
