Glee: Shooting Star

[(Anonymous)]

I know, this episode was months ago, or something. I haven't watched Glee regularly since season 1, and I'm not sure I've watched it at all since season 2 (when did Karofsky try to off himself? Because I think that was the last episode I saw after being grossed by the inappropriateness of ending that episode with "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger").

But I watched this episode after hearing what it was about and some praise for Matthew Morrison and the other adults who play adults. I didn't know 3/4 of the people and had to just rely on context clues for what was going on (most which I didn't care about) when it came to the gunshots in the school and everything after it, I thought it was a really good, strong bit of episode.

But apparently I'm the only one who feels that way.

I was impressed. I watched it completely unspoiled and was very affected, despite hating most of the characters already. I thought it was well-acted and scarily intense. Later, when I thought about it, I resented the fact that it was using the situation to try and make viewers warm up more to the new characters -- but I wouldn't have minded seeing it with the old cast.

As for whether it was insensitive topic to portray right now...we've sadly gotten to the point when it will never be Too Soon any more.

Ack, what I meant was, it'll never stop being Too Soon.

Yeah, I saw a lot of people complaining that it was "too soon," but I have a feeling that for people who experience school shootings or lose loved ones to school shootings, it may always be too soon. And that's okay. But I think when it comes to the general population, addressing big issues like this can't come soon enough.

I also saw people bleat about "why did it have to Becky?!!" but I feel like most of them didn't really watch the episode? Because they all came at it from this angle of "Now the show is associating people with Down syndrome with people who commit school shootings like they're the same!!" But no, no they didn't.

Because Becky did not perpetrate a school shooting. She had a gun that accidentally went off. And I thought the story of her fear was handled just as well as everybody else's fear.
