Rachel Bradshaw

Last night s season finale of Glee helped cement what many people have likely been thinking: what is happening to this show? What used to be a very funny, heartwarming take on the perils of high school (mixed with fun songs!) has become a zany, cartoonish parody that can t keep up with itself, mostly in terms of at least trying to retain any sense of realism (i.e. every serious scene with the surprisingly adept guy from Guts Mike O Malley). So many things happened and were executed to poorly that it felt like it was written by a baby on Adderall: Where did Charice/Jonathan Groff/Cheyenne Jackson come from? Charice and Rachel were fighting? Now they re not? Is Quinn okay? So a haircut made her feel better (GOOD MESSAGE ALERT)? Is Santana still a lesbian? What s up with Brittany is she a lesbian, too, or not? When did she get so tan? Is Sue Sylvester nice now? Where is Sue Sylvester? Security guards are all really nice? Who told Darren Criss to gay it up by resting his head on his fist? Are we supposed to be shocked at the new interracial couple of the year? Who is dressing Chris Colfer the same way they dressed Amy Poehler as Carrie Bradshaw on Saturday Night Live: as a learning-disabled bohemian faerie-dragon-ballerina? And, finally, is this original song about New York serious? Because it doesn t even sound like a song! HOW IS THIS A REAL SONG? [Update: It's a mashup, but still...yikes!] WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GLEE?
