“Blake Jenner’s character is a really great athlete but he is having trouble in his class work. What we reveal is that he has dyslexia, which is something we’ve never written about.”
- Ryan Murphy.
This is what Ryan Murphy had said in an interview about the new character. Of course, his statement did create many dissatisfaction in tumblr. Sensing something familiar about the character? I was really piss off when I read it last night. Really Murphy? Do you even remember about a character named Sam Evans or a cast named Chord Overstreet?!
Sam told the Glee club that he's a dyslexic when he first met them in season 2. Then, he was proven a great athlete when he Beiste chose him to be the quaterback and of course, he had to be remove from the title because Finn Hudson made him hurt during the game.
In Season 3, they made Sam move to Kentucky because Chord decided to not coming back to the show. However, he agreed to come back they made Sam to be a stripper. Well, I have no complaint on it because I was happy that I could watch him again. Besides, they did give him a story line and it parallel with the fact that he was poor and he's trying to help his family.
Season 4 started and I really think that they don't give a care about Sam or Chord at all. The peak of it had to be last week's episode. They pictured Sam Evans as a dumb blonde who doesn't know what a debate it thus making him appear stupider than Brittany. Mind you, Sam Evans is dyslexic, not stupid! I really can't stand Glee anymore. First, they break up SamCedes, making like Mercedes does not exist because the others are mourning about their partner while Sam seems fine and doesn't even talk about his lover even though he has so many chances to mention her! Then, they make him has an interest on his so called bisexual/lesbian friend despite portraying him spending his junior year chasing Mercedes so that they can be together. I'll just hope that Chord will get a better work offer so that he can leave Glee because I just can't stand it anymore!
