Thank you to everyone that participated! ❤

I feel like they kinda get lost in the crowd a bit, so what headanons do you have for the S4/6 crowd?

I have seen this in other subreddits and thought it could be fun. If y'all like the idea I will do it with different characters.

This season is so good, imho, I’m not sure if it’s talked about a lot on this sub? It’s got nothing on season 1, but going back to formula was such a good decision. And it’s got this whole new layer of magical realism that’s got me cackling. And I don’t even care that Sue Sylvester regressed back through several seasons of growth lol she absolutely STEALS the show!

View Poll

Sue may be one of my favorite characters in Glee. In the last couple of seasons, she becomes so unhinged and I live for it. Of course throughout the series she’s always been unhinged and done the most heinous things but the way the writers amped it up in season 6 is absolutely hilarious to me.

One notable thing she did was punching Geraldo Rivera in the face during her interview in season 6 episode 10 like a bad b. She had her whole life destroyed, then had a crazy comeback. Jane Lynch is the only Sue Sylvester that could’ve ever Sue Sylvestered correctly.

Was kitty a fan favorite?? I never really thought about the fact she's the only member of the new cast that came back after the New York seasons. I grew to like her for sure but I am kind of confused about it lol. I know Marley's actress became superwoman so maybe her availability prevented her from coming back but what about the others?

Am I the only one that could picture the Unholy Trinity singing Thank U Next if Glee was still airing at that time? If not, what are some other songs you would've liked them to cover?

Sang the "Cry song" she did after not getting into NYADA, she would have probably gotten in if Carmen heard her sing that song...

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault

I don’t usually make my own posts on this subreddit, but I just got swiftly blocked by someone for posting this comment about what happened with Sam in 5x20:

For the record, everyone, someone who holds a position of authority over you in your workplace cornering you and kissing you without consent is not “cheating”. It’s sexual harassment/assault. Sam explicitly said in that scene that he felt he had to go along with it or he would lose his dream opportunity. He then said he cried afterwards while she continued to take photos of him half-naked. The show acknowledged that he was taken advantage of.

Frankly, if that scene were a man doing the exact same thing to a woman, this wouldn’t even be a conversation. Crazy that this way of thinking is still common in 2024.

At the end of the day this is just a TV show, it’s not like the writers ever handled these kind of topics with much grace or nuance, and the characters aren’t real. But it’s a reflection of something that is real, and I would hate for any man in this sub who has been in a similar situation IRL to read this and feel guilty about their own situation. Being victimized by a sexual abuser is not cheating.

This post isn’t to hate on the person this was directed at, and please don’t bother them if you find them. But I think this is an interesting topic to open up a discussion about and I wanted to get my feelings off my chest.

I think something Glee did exceptionally well was not being afraid to show male characters going through difficult times, letting their emotions show, and being supported by their loved ones. It sounds like the bare minimum but I feel like the degree to which its male characters were allowed to be emotional and human & have meaningful, close relationships with each other was a rarity among the shows I watched as a kid/teenager (which I was when Glee was airing).

The show tried to teach a lot of lessons – which were pretty hit or miss – but a really important thing that a lot of people don’t often acknowledge is that it explored male victims of sexual abuse. There were 3(!) instances of it in the show, and they explored quite a few angles of it: the misconception that boys are “happy” to be molested by girls, workplace harassment happening to men, feeling like you cheated on your partner after being assaulted, etc.

Don’t get me wrong … they didn’t handle it perfectly … but thinking back, it’s impressive that they touched on this topic multiple times when very few shows were talking about it (and still few do). I’m sure it helped a lot of people understand and have more empathy for boys/men who are put in these situations. And even more importantly I’m sure it helped a lot of male fans who have been through similar things feel seen and heard. We knock Glee for a lot of things, but it made so many different people feel represented. It was really groundbreaking in many ways.

Anyhoo, that’s a lesson Glee set out to teach that I thought was effective. Now I’m trying to think of other less talked about, but important topics they touched on over the years. Feel free to share the ones that were similarly meaningful to you :)

Could NOT stand him the first time I watched the show when it first aired. Finally got to rewatching it after all these years, and I started season 6 a few days ago. Kurt still is so unbelievably annoying and one of the worst main characters on the show in my personal opinion. Don’t get me wrong, he has some redeeming qualities, but unfortunately they do not make up for his terrible personality. I have been holding this in for so long, and I just had to let this out. I adore Chris Colfer, but Kurt is a NOT in my Glee Hot or Not list.

Did anyone see the Molly Shannon ( Glee season 1 episodes 17 and 19 ) video she did with Kamala Harris for the Al Smith dinner held in New York on Thursday night ?......Thoughts ?

Heather went on Kevin and Jenna’s podcast and basically mentioned that the writers almost made Brittany pregnant with Sam’s baby in season 4, effectively ending Brittana. That got me thinking…were the writers planting the seeds for a Quinn and Santana storyline because they were making Bram happen for good??

Curious to know what you guys think!🧐

1. Everyone should've graduated after S3, and their stories should've continued in S4. Move Will and Sue somehow to NY, Figgins and Beiste as guest stars, and be done with McKinley.  

2. Rachel and Blaine's solos became too prominent, and it's annoying. So many big voices got neglected. Really sad that happened. Also, S2 Blaine is peak Blaine. After that, the character became needy and a complete joke. 

3. S4 newbies were boring without any kind of persona. Good ridance. 

4. After S1, there were too many songs per episode. Plot became secondary. 

5. Road to Broadway and NYADA wasn't compelling from a story perspective. I'd rather watch Finn's road to becoming a teacher or Puck making it in LA, Mercedes trying to become a star, Quinn's Yale adventures, or Santana in Louisville. All that potential... wasted. 

6. Quinn shitty plots, pushing aside Mike Chang, Tina, Puck, and Mercedes in favor of one more Rachel solo or tantrum, buried this show and destroyed the ratings (among other things). 

7. Lea Michele playing Lea Michele after S3. She wasn't Rachel anymore. 

8. Ryan Murphy should have kept those diva attitudes and bullying in check. Then again, Ryan Murphy doesn't strike me as a decent human being. No wonder Dianna Agron left after S3. Lea Michele was a monster on set back then. 

Several of these things resulted in a huge drop in ratings and ultimately destroyed a show that was on a way to become historic. Instead, it became a cesspol of continuity errors, plotholes, and erratic behavior of one Broadway diva.  I love the show. I wanted for it to be among the top 20 of all time. Sadly, it isn't.
