I agree, for the first half of the show, Rachel's big dreams centred on being a famous Broadway starlet. But once she's in reach of these dreams, she just randomly up and quits, just like that?!😮 Just didn't make any sense.

@Matilda Persson-Berg That is an interesting lens to put those rationals through, I just don't know that it has enough in universe evidence to back it up. If the writers had intended that, there are ways to have made it more explicit.

@@HallowqueenCrafting they touched on it a few times, the episode where her and Kurt get tattoos they have a conversation about wanting to take risks/why they are feeling so stuck and Finns death was a major reason. I think that everything she did after that, was done to send her back to square one- so she could recollect and rebuild herself. Which... she did :)

[@thirioncamille2252]

I do understand thought. She has dreams but they are projections, she has no idea what it will be like to live them, and she’s disappointed. Funny Girl was a dream, she did it for months, got recognition and then the idea of only doing this for the rest of her life made her feel trapped. That’s the trap with getting to your dreams, you can’t be sure it’s going to be as amazing as you hoped them to be

Coach Beiste being transgender. A big part of his character was that he was a very unfeminine woman, but he learned to love himself as he was. Then they threw his transition into the last season, completely getting rid of his previous development. It almost felt like the show was saying that if you're not feminine enough as a woman, you should be a man. It made very little sense.

And they didn't bring it in like she suddenly got a perfect score on the SATs but that she failed them and someone happened to notice that her unconscious scribbles were amazing. I think that's actually pretty realistic. And shows a failure of public education for not noticing it sooner.

I'm surprised the slushies isn't on the list. The fact the school has them is a little weird. That people could throw them at people and NO one get in trouble is absurd. At a minimum the Janitor would complain about cleaning up the mess. Little alone the bullying, damage to school property, and damage done to the students.

[@rihannadittman4829]

Not to mention the sign up sheets would usually get slushy on them and all of a suddon be back to normal?

What about the fact that students can easily transfer schools at any time? Transferring from a private school like Dalton to a public school like McKinley is not an easy process.

Is no one gonna talk about how unrealistic it was that Mercedes didn’t know Kurt was gay!!! I mean, that was more obvious then anything

[@WenzelSays]

A) people ignore alot when they have a crush and b) just cuz he fit certain stereotypes doesn't mean anything. He hadn't "come out" yet so basically everyone was being super homophobic in their assumptions (even if their assumptions were spot on) don't judge a 15 year old for not having preconceived notions about one of the few people who treated her well and was basically her only friend. 🌻😀

[@ellastott]

Yh I felt the same but Mercedes had never really liked a boy as much as she liked Kurt, so she suddenly had a crush on him and ignored everythign else.

[@cream9813]

Maybe because Mercedes wasn't a judgmental bitch who judges people off of stereotypes.

[@ace-gj5mt]

yeah but that’s a stereotype on gay people. people are always saying gay people are more on the feminine side. there’s a ton of masculine gay boys

[@_..jolene.._]

Yeah, and then how she smashed his car just cause she thought he liked someone else.😀

How about the fact that Mr. Shue asked Finn to be his best man at his and Emma's wedding?

Once they performed “Gangnam Style”, the show went down to hell.

[@mxltinfinityx]

they...performed Gangam Style?

[@caroline634]

@@mxltinfinityx yeah, in season 4 episode 8

[@jonathanlife5304]

Yeah, the show was getting messy but it was due to some of the cast. Regulars who were made recurring made other work commitments and couldn't come back, Cory had to go to rehab so his character had to become absent one way or another, and Heather Morris becoming pregnant.

[@sharonr.8840]

i feel like they just didn't know what to do once all their charectors graduated

[@hannahwilliams5681]

they started going downhill after the infamous break up where blaine once again played the victim and brittana broke up. It went even more downhill with that performance, for sure. What made it go even more downhill was the frenemies freaking episode. Don't get me wrong, the performances were to die for but RM had no right to split up Santana and Rachel as friends like that.

[@ewolling1016]

My biggest thing was Artie! In season 1 his dad takes care of him and when he describes the accident, his mom was the one driving and she died during the accident. Then all of a sudden is season 5, he tells Kittie that he is upset because he got accepted to film school but couldn't go because his mom was freaking out about him going alone and she's taken care of him his whole life, and then we meet his mom. Writers don't think we pay attention, but we do!

[@andrewsld]

His mom never died in the accident. He said she was in the accident but was ok. I think you misunderstood.

[@yeetusdeleetus650]

Yeah I distinctly remember him saying in episode 7 ‘Car Crash, my mom was there, she was fine but me...’ so you might’ve misheard.

Marcella Liddiard and they have costumes from the prev years. Also it’s noticeable that they aren’t always perfectly matched, it’s like they are all supposed to bring a black dress from home, or a red shirt and jeans from their homes so the kids don’t always have the exact same clothes and it doesn’t cost money to look on theme

+ the lack of sexual education of the characters, shown over and over through the show

[@TigStripe]

If you think the student-teacher relationships weren't realistic, you obviously weren't in band/choir. Many public school systems see students in the fine arts paired with the same teacher or group of teachers for upwards of 6 years, in many situations that call for greater trust than academic teachers normally see. Sports people can back me up on this - when it comes to your long-standing instructors, you're not a student, and they're not your teacher. It's cliche to say, but you really do feel more like family by the end of it.

[@roseredfoxes4064]

True, I'm in a debate club in my school, and we all feel like family, even the teachers

[@TigStripe]

@@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524 Your mileage may vary. Doesn't mean others don't have more meaningful relationships with their instructors.
