Television people, sometimes I do not understand you.

Entry contents contain mentions of television plots involving domestic violence and attempted suicide. If such things are triggering to you, pass on this entry.

Glee showrunners and/or FOX execs? Your goodwill with me from the Unique episode has vanished. For once in television history, can we have an episode where at the first sign of an abusive relationship, the victim actually picks it up, packs up, and leaves? Especially when this is supposed to be the strong woman, and she's surrounded by other women who care enough to tell the girls that domestic violence is not a laughing matter.

Also, when you had the episode where Karaovsky tried to kill himself, Daniel Radcliffe appears in the next commercial segment to talk about the Trevor Project. A cursory search engine query turns up several organizations that will house battered women or otherwise provide resources, yet not in the commercial segment nor in the episode is there any sort of PSA about who can help battered women get out of their situations. I'm not sure whose decision it was, but in that context, it kind of seems like the execs or the showrunners were doing the same thing the coach characters were accusing the girls of doing - not taking things seriously.

A couple years ago, I wouldn't have even noticed this. Now, it jumped right out at me. I guess there really are some things you can't un-see. (Incidentally, I think this is a good thing in this case.)
