Something That Bugged Me About Last Week's Episode of Glee (3.08)

[husky04]

This is something I've been meaning to post for the last couple days, but while I was watching last week's episode of Glee (3.08, Hold On To Sixteen), there was something that was said about the Puck/Shelby relationship that was inaccurate from the perspective of criminal law, and as a practicing attorney, that is something that I cannot let go

agreed, fully.

Another type of fanfics I find somewhat distasteful are the therapist/client stories which take on a sexual nature. Although I laugh when I see brochures like "therapy never includes sex" because it sounds like one of Emma Pillsbury's hilariously titled brochures, it is a HUGE ethical breach of conduct that is also unlawful.

I've HATED the Puck/Shelby subplot because it made Shelby...unlikable to me.

Kind of figured that you wouldn't have been a fan of the Puck/Shelby SL. When I heard that Shelby was coming back, I thought that it'd lead to a big SL for Rachel, as they tried to come to terms with being around each other again & work out some sort of relationship, as well as Puck & Quinn having to deal with Beth suddenly being around again. But no, there was hardly anything with Shelby/Rachel, while Beth & Quinn coming apart were both used to prop that embarassment of a plotline that pretty much ruined Shelby's character. Such a waste of Idina & the potential decent SLs Shelby's return could have driven, but then again, expecting anything good from RIB these days is too much

"Four for you, Glen Coco, four for you". - Mean Girls

As much as I hate quoting Mean Girls sometimes, this represents one of the many, many problems with Glee. It glorified an issue that is not only unethical but illegal - and probably immoral as well. For a show that wanted to be seen as a good example for the youth, the message it is sending is anything but.
