Subject: "Shooting Star" Episode of "Glee" Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:45 am
Has anyone seen last night's episode of "Glee" called "Shooting Star"? I haven't seen the episode myself. The episode began with a viewer advisory about school violence. It was mentioned on the 10 o'clock news afterwards saying that most viewers found the episode "too sensitive" & "too soon" due to the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. If anyone has seen this episode, what are your thoughts & feelings about it? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-57579323/glee-takes-on-school-gun-violence-in-shooting-star/

I saw a little bit of it last night. I was waiting for the HANNIBAL series to begin. That show's not bad.
I have never watched GLEE before. I never had any interest, mainly because these shows are all the same.
SPOILER
From what I saw about the shooting, it's not a violent shooting. No one is hurt. Some mentally challenged girl brings a gun to school, I guess she's suicidal. While talking with Jane Lynch's character Sue Sylvester in her office, the gun accidently goes off a couple times, and causes a panic all over the school. Sue is fired, apparently taking the gun from the girl and claiming she brought it to school.
I don't know if I'd say it was too soon after any real life shooting. This stuff has been done in like how many teen shows since the Columbine shooting?

After this Boston bombing, the fourth episode of HANNIBAL is being pulled, though it doesn't involve a bombing.

Not that I've heard. It's supposed to be about kids killing other kids. The show's creator just felt it was inappropriate.

for those who love the show "Castle' like i do they also pulled that episode and are going to be airing it next week instead of this week because of the content. going by previews cause it well hasn't aired yet. one of the leads ends up standing on a bomb prolly throught the entire episode or so. and they pulled it for that?
