My thoughts on Glee and Quinn
This will be quick, spoilery and evil. Sorry.
I want Quinn to be dead.
No, I don't hate her or Diana Agron. In fact, she's developed into a very good, complex character and Agron is doing a fine job. When we found out she was going to Yale and she could very well catch a break from the emotional rolercoaster they put her through these three seasons I was happy. The thought of Quinn being happy and getting a shot at making it right made me happy - a lot more than knowing Wemma or Finchel may or may not get married by the end of the season, or that Karofsky is now redeemed because, please, two of these things are very unhealthy (teenage marriage and marrying to Will) and one just made a perffectly good bad/creepy guy boring.
The girl that finally had everything going her way is t-boned whilst text-driving. That is a twist, and a powerful twist because I DON'T WANT QUINN TO DIE, I want her to live and marry and have kids and the life she always dreamed of. And that's why her death will hurt and be relevant, specially since their obviously campainging against text-driving. Quinn, the girl that was getting her second chance, an only child, the girl that struggled to make it through High School, is killed in a stupid, pointless car accident.
That is real. That happens. And that has to be said a lot more clearly than, "Oh, she was in a coma, in a wheelchair, lost an arm, is deformed, whatnot..."
Also, Quinn is the one character whose death can actually move the story forward, and to something more interesting than just winning Nationals. All the other characters have their own plots (Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, Burt, Mike) or have so little plot they don't matter enough to die (Tina (it physically hurts to write this!), Sugar, Rory). Quinn's death helps the plot, it takes it to another level and makes it more complex and real.
I'm sorry for being negative.
