That being said, this post is all about the constructive criticism (that is it would be if the writers ever read it). So here are the mistakes that Glee made in Season 4 in no particular order in varying degrees of stupidity.
The Glee Kids Develop Some 'Tude
Episode: The New Rachel
The Glee club has just won Nationals which now means they are celebrities. Of course the most talented ones have graduated leaving the less talented kids to bask in the attention from their classmates. Now that Rachel has graduated they feel the need to decide which of them will become the new Rachel even though all of them (Especially Tina) were always complaining about only one person carrying the team. Hypocrites. Also no one even liked Rachel and now they are all fighting over who gets to follow in her footsteps. And why are they asking Artie? Is he even that impartial- I mean he dated two of them. Thankfully he had the good sense to choose Blaine. They got something right.

Brittany
Episodes: Almost all of them (unfortunately)
I may face some hate for this (if anyone even reads this which I doubt) but I have never liked Brittany. Never have and I almost positive I never will. So when she graduated I thought it was going to be the last of her and I wouldn't have to deal with her pointless storylines. I mean Brittany has been involved in more pointless storylines than anyone else in the series- there was Artie's comb, then there was Damien being a leprachuan and the whole pot of gold thing, there was the Santa is real, there was the "I'm pregnant because a bird is outside my window" Come on guys. No one is that stupid. And that's coming from someone who went to public school for eight years.Brittany has always been somewhat intolerable but during the finale I think they decided to up her irritatingness quotient up 20 points. The only thing climatic about the finale really.
Tina
Episodes: Way Too Many
During the first season I thought Tina was pretty cool. I liked her style and I liked the way she was a team player and gave the Tonight solo to Rachel. But the writers took Tina in the same direction they took way too many of the characters- the direction of overly loud, overly confident and overly cocky. The way I see it the only people who have that right are Rachel, Kurt and Mercedes. You cannot add more loud characters without quieting some of the other ones down too. Otherwise it's just a whole lot of yelling. And that's what Tina always seems to be doing. Whining and yelling. And the whole crushing on a gay guy- been there, done that. Let's see something else with Tina. If the writers want her to actually contribute to the show they need to develop her around instead of moving her around from boy to boy while she constantly complains about being on the sidelines.
Wemma's Wedding
Episode: All or Nothing
I feel like this episode title perfectly describes the wedding(s) of Wemma. Their almost wedding was definitely the "all" and the anti-climatic wedding at the end was most certainly "nothing" I have no problem with impromptu weddings but the fact that the original best man was not present seemed a bit strange. Then again maybe Will figured that Finn was bad luck. Still they could have at least explained Finn's absence- not just from the wedding but from Regionals. Or they could have put a cardboard cut-out of Cory Monteith or used Photoshop. I feel like that would have garnered a lot less attention.
Ryder's Dyslexia
Episode: Dynamic Duets
Why is it that Ryder is dyslexic in this episode and the few following it and then when Katie pops into the picture he is able to read her messages perfectly? Consistency glee writers, consistency please.
The Entire Glee, Actually Episode
Episode: Glee, Actually
Irrelevant
Diva Week
Episode: Diva
This comes back to what I said about only having so many loud mouthed characters. And a week where we fight over who is going to be the loudest? Not really my thing. Why do we have to have a diva anyway? They only serve to cause problems for everybody else. Emma's definition of a diva is "A fierce, often temperamental singer who comes correct.She is not a trick ass hoe" My definition? An annoying, often problematic drama queen who thinks they are more talented than they actually are. I got news for you ladies: true divas don't need a stage, makeup or costumes to make themselves heard. They don't even need to be loud or obnoxious. They're personalities speak for themselves.
Rachel's Possible Pregnancy
Episode: I don't even remember
Irrelevant (Which is why I don't remember)
Sue Sylvester's Feud with Blaine
Episode: Again I don't remember
Irrelevant
Fake School Shooting
Episode: Shooting Star
I think this is the only episode of glee that I have not watched. So technically I can't exactly review this fairly. But I don't like the idea of a comedy show doing an episode about an extremely sensitive topic only months after the Newtown shooting. The very fact that I could not watch it tells me that there is something very wrong with it. I will probably face some controversy for this but I feel that a comedy show can handle cheating girlfriends and pregnant teenagers not the murder of innocent children.
Blaine's Neediness
Episode: All or Nothing
One of the things I liked most about the Blaine-Kurt romance was that Blaine was always so charmingly sure of himself and the person he was. He was always there to offer Kurt well needed advice or comfort. Now all of a sudden Blaine is obsessing over marriage with a guy that he isn't even dating. Also Blaine switched schools for Kurt and based pretty much every decision he made afterwards off of what Kurt did. Where's the sexiness in that? Sorry writers but in the Blaine-Kurt relationship is going to spark my interest any time in the future we need to see more of the confident, independent Blaine that first got everyone's attention.
