Glee/Headscratchers/Season 3: Difference between revisions

** The thing is that there are several sides to the argument and all of them are partially right. Rachel ''does'' get away with a lot because of her talent, Mercedes ''has'' been given chances to shine, and New Direction ''does'' need to work harder if they really want to win nationals.

** The problem is not Mercedes, the real problem here is the writer's presentation of Mercedes. The last time Mercedes had a "real" plot-line was when she was obessed with tater-tots. It is possible for Mecedes to have, secretely all this time, been habouring a grude that Rachel gets all this so called "special treatment" (when it been shown since the pilot that Rachel takes dancing classes independantly, another thing the writers have forgotten) but the writers have not SHOWN this building resentment.

** Am I the only one who thought Mercedes deserved what she got? Jesse pointed it out when he was assisting Will last season. Mercedes doesn't try. Her response when Jesse asks if she rehearsed was something along the lines of "I don't need rehearsal, I'm great." She was late to booty camp because "she woke up half an hour late and set her whole schedule back". She's contrasted consistently this episode with Finn, who doesn't have the talent for dancing but gives it all he has. Mercedes keeps coming up with excuses, saying she's in pain or sick. And she's also contrasted with Rachel. Rachel works hard for what she gets. She consistently demonstrates not only talent, with Mercedes does have, in spades, but drive and persistence. Mercedes expects everything to come to her because she's talented, while Rachel CHASES what she wants. Mercedes is just lazy.

* Santana orchestrated for Glee Club's pianos to be set on fire and she gets back in [[Easily Forgiven|with a single apology.]] [[Flat What|Wut?]]
