6. Fan Pandering
The most obvious case in point I can think of for Glee is the good fortune of actor Darren Criss. Originally billed in the minor role of Blaine, heavy support for the character (and the relationship of Blaine and series favourite Kurt) ultimately resulted in a series of increasingly pointless (and dull) snippets of school life at a rival show choir at neighbouring school Dalton Academy attended by Blaine. The fans, of course, are most vocal about the shipping aspect of Glee and are infamously known on the internet for a take-no-prisoners approach to their OTPs. Whilst its great that the Glee Writers are listening to their extremely vocal fan base, Ill be damned if fan support hasnt undermined the stories the Glee writers set out to tell and potentially lost us some crackers of plots in the process.
