2. More Graduates, please!
Quinn, Mercedes and Puck were treated horribly in Season Three, by the writers, and they havent yet been reimbursed. For example, what the hell is Santana doing? Shes spent the first half of the season hanging around McKinley so unrealistically (loved Sues crack about the Graduates using teleporters in
Diva) only to quit college in Kentucky and (finally) head to NYC. I really wish theyd reinstated The Troubletones (perhaps renamed), maybe with Quinn, Santana and Brittany (The Unholy Trinity?), and had them audition for an X-Factor type talent show. It would keep the performance / competition aspect to the show and would give the trio a valid storyline. The show would most likely be based in LA, were we could see a bit more of Pucks and Mercedes lives. Mercedes would be at UCLA and her backing singer job and Puck could join a band, performing around LA, perhaps with Mercedes joining it later. I love their voices together! Obviously we cant follow all the seniors equally but Id much prefer missing New York / NYADA every other week for a bit of LA sun! I think the high school / college split is, ultimately, dragging the NYADA stuff back down to high school drama. Like in
Diva recently, for example, the Rachel being a diva plot? Seriously, again? Hasnt this been done to death? See, this is an opportunity where we could have seen a Mercedes storyline in LA (the ultimate diva of the show) and developed her character, rather than bringing Rachel back to her Season Two personality.
