The pending nuptials are an affront to viewers who have respected and followed these two characters’ arcs. There’s no way that a teenager as level-headed and driven as Rachel would sidetrack her life in this way, nor would a person as grounded as Finn be delusional enough to think marriage is a good idea. It’s a bizarre, soap operatic twist for a show that had stopped being a primetime soap and has instead, for better or worse, embraced its status as a teen drama modeled after ’90s after school specials. And that final cliffhanger, with its game-changing twist before the cut to black, is a move more suited for Melrose Place than Glee. It’s further proof that Glee’s creators have opened the floodgates, and these whiplash-inducing plot developments, designed to accrue fan buzz and Internet chatter, will now be drowning us all.
