Based on previous heated debates, we (moderators) have decided to list some guidelines and rules that need to be followed on all episode discussions here.
1. Do not bash any of the cast members or writers. Discussion should be about characters. Substituting an actors name for a character when discussing the character is not okay. They're not the same person. Respectfully critiquing someone's performance or a writer's contribution is fine, however, bashing and being rude about them is not. Offensive nicknames for the writers and cast-members are also not to be used here. This is against Fan Forum policy and is an insult to real people.

2. Feel free to visit the general discussion threads or the previous episode discussion threads here to continue talking about episodes that have already aired.

3. Be respectful to each other, moderators, and to every fandom despite your personal beliefs. Previous episode discussions presented us with problems and we'd like to prevent this from happening. We encourage a good debate, but let's keep it respectful. Personal attacks are not needed, nor allowed here. Targeting another poster on who they support or why their argument is invalid is also unnecessary. Please refer back to Fan Forum's rules regarding this. No matter who you support or ship, we are all fans and people, too.

4. This is a Glee Appreciation board. And as such, it is great to critique, debate and interact respectfully with the fans. But we cannot emphasize enough that calling the show, its cast and crew, etc. 'racist', 'homophobic' or 'sexist' is extremely offensive and will not be tolerated. This board isn't the place for these remarks. Please take it off site or keep it to yourself.
Thank you, everyone!

Happy Hunger Games Glee Discussion!

Thanks for opening the thread, Alyssa

Everything is still terrible except Sancedes and I just want to wrap Santana in blankets and protect her forever

What was with Rachel/Blaines storylines? They had great/funny supporting guest characters but everything about them were boring. It was nice to see Rachel crash and burn though even though nothing really happens to Rachel except her career getting better. Because hey why doesn't it make sense that Rachel finally gets a dose of actual reality only to get put RIGHT BACK ON Cloud 9?


Why couldn't this episode just focus more on Sancedes? They actually (no surprise) had a decent storyline. Santana was used to prop "save" Mercedes and Rachels careers while nothing happened with her own, now she is just beaten down by NY with nothing happening to her. It would be a good storyline if this show actually worked on on going storylines but we know where Santana is going which is no where storyline wise and most likely disappearing off the screen.

And what were they thinking that having Santana "save" Funny Girl but not showing any of it? She and Rachel are like night and day so their performances would be radically different and I wanted to see what Santana did with the role and I wanted to know how she was received.

We have to the point in the show where they know they only have 1 season left so they are just going to be playing FAST and LOOSE with these storylines and time jumps.

Sam/Artie (sadly) werent missed.
