My Thoughts on the Glee episode “Shooting Star”

I’ve read a lot of comments about this episode. Some felt that it was insulting. Others felt that it was a stupid episode. I don’t agree with either of these opinions.

I’m surprised that the writers chose such a powerful topic considering that they’ve spent a full season on nothing but nonsense that never actually goes on in a real high school.

School shootings happen! Trying to pretend like it doesn’t is like trying to block out the sun with a thumb. This was probably one of the best episodes of Glee in several seasons.

I also enjoyed the Becky storyline. Her character’s fears is a common fear in teens with down syndrome and I thought it was heartwarming that Sue was willing to take the rap to protect Becky. It shows that she does have a heart.
