Send it, Bridget. And you can add my name to it, if you want. I’m behind you 100%. I think that letter needs to be sent.
Colleen doesn’t even watch Glee but when I told her about it (we were randomly BSing about pretty much everything in our lives since it’s the first time I’ve seen her in 7 months since she moved to Portland and is finally home to visit) she sort of just stared at me for a few seconds before she blew up. She’s a hardcore, really strict vegan and has been since we were 15 (we’re 28 now). There was loud ranting about how Lea Michele just lost her vote for hottest vegan if she shows up on PETA’s list this year.
She’s also an animal rights activist (to the point that she’s nearly gotten herself arrested a few times over it) and somehow we wound up putting our coffee aside and just writing a good three pages full of (hopefully) intelligent criticism over the route the show has taken since mid-season 2.
We started with the “feeding Rachel meat” thing and wound up pointing out all the flaws in their writing (especially continuity issues and the fact that apparently in Glee-world the only way to end a relationship is to cheat on someone). We also got into the whole gay/lesbian/bi-sexuality debate they seem to insist on dredging up by being essentially dismissive over the fact that someone could possibly BE bi-sexual.
It wasn’t pretty…and yet was so very beautiful. I want to send it. I really really want to. But, like, by the end of it I was sitting there asking myself, “Why am I letting this shit bother me so much? It’s not like I’m surprised a show that Ryan Murphy is at the helms of is quickly spiraling down the toilet.” He always shits all over his shows.
